Khanh Ong: From refugee kid to household name
Khanh Ong wears a lot of hats — cook, presenter, author, ex-DJ and fan favourite contestant on MasterChef. But he didn’t grow up thinking he could be any of those things. In fact, he thought his only option was to be a surgeon. In this episode, host Yumi Stynes chats with Khanh about what food can represent, coming out as gay to his Vietnamese mother, and how he once rolled out of a moving car to avoid a difficult conversation.
