Update: 6\/14\/2019\"\"Macrina\u2019s Head Baker, Phuong Hoang Bui, started working at Macrina in 1994. To celebrate his 25th anniversary we gathered with him and his family at Palisade Restaurant to share our gratitude for everything he has done for Macrina and the way he brightens the workplace with smiles and his cheerful heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best part of the heartwarming dinner was Phuong sharing his fond memories of Macrina,\u201d says Jane Cho, Production Manager. \u201cBehind his kind, respectful mannerisms, he is a comedian and loves to laugh and tell a good story. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Phuong for so many years and to be inspired by someone with such integrity in everything he does.\u201d
\n\"\"To learn more about Phuong\u2019s amazing journey from Vietnam to Macrina read this blog<\/u> that Leslie wrote about Phuong.<\/p>\n

Original: 10\/14\/2012<\/p>\n

Throughout my new book, More from Macrina,<\/em> interspersed among the recipes and beautiful photography, are stories about the people and partnerships that make the Macrina community.<\/p>\n

Phuong Hoang Bui has worked at Macrina for 18 years and as much as anyone, he embodies the spirit of the Macrina community in a way that makes me so proud to have him as a colleague.\u00a0 I first met Phuong through the International Rescue Committee, where he had been eagerly seeking employment.\u00a0 At our first meeting, Phuong conveyed a deep desire to work and to learn \u2013 I hired him as a dishwasher on the spot. This was in 1994 \u2013 just after Macrina first opened.<\/p>\n

\"Phuong\"<\/p>\n

While he worked as a dishwasher, Phuong would always make himself available to help with food prep, to help shape bread, and to watch the bakers load the ovens \u2013 constantly seeking opportunities to learn more so that he could grow professionally while supporting Macrina\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

18 years later Phuong manages our entire wholesale production team \u2013 fifty employees in all, diverse in age, ethnicity and experience \u2013 and Phuong takes great care to help them all develop the skills to succeed in their work, and for many of them, to adapt to a new life in Seattle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Before starting at Macrina, Phuong had been trying to get to America from his native Vietnam for some time.\u00a0 His first attempt was as a boat refugee when he was captured and imprisoned for two years.\u00a0 When he was released Phuong received help and support from friends and family, which led to his arrival and new life in the United States.<\/p>\n

Today, everything Phuong does through his work at Macrina demonstrates his gratitude for the help and support he has received. Phuong works with his team to help them develop professionally and embrace new opportunities, just as he did (and continues to do).\u00a0 Phuong\u2019s desire to repay the kindness he was shown when he first arrived here reflects so much of the culture here at Macrina, and just as Phuong is grateful for the life he has here, I am grateful for the chance to have him be a part of our daily life at Macrina.<\/p>\n
