Philippe “Whiskey” Trinh is a former fashion designer turned culinary storyteller who channels the flavors, memories, and legacy of his Vietnamese, Lao, and Filipino heritage through food. Under the moniker Whiskey & Booch, Philippe has built a digital kitchen table where recipes are just the beginning—each dish is a deeply personal reflection on identity, family, and tradition. Drawing from the recipes passed down by his parents, many of whom came from refugee-founded kitchens, Philippe brings back the nostalgic dishes that shaped his upbringing, from pho nights and crispy egg rolls to grilled BBQ pork belly and summer rolls. With over 140,000 followers and more than 200 original recipes, his storytelling has resonated across platforms, earning features in Tastemade, Eater New York, The FeedFeed, Parade Magazine, and more. Named one of FeedSpot’s “Top 60 Asian Food Influencers,” Philippe continues to bridge the gap between heritage and modern cooking, offering content that feels intimate, culturally rooted, and emotionally resonant.
