Meet Eddie Lo

Edmund "Eddie" Lo comes from a family of restaurateurs, many of whom opened their own restaurants after immigrating from China to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the 1980s. He has trained with Chef Oliva Wu, who taught an innovative, foundational curriculum for recipe-free cooking, food literacy and taste perception. He now works with her on the Liv Cook Eat brand of soy sauces. His cooking class is heavily influenced by her teachings. Eddie is an avid traveler and food blogger, and has cooked with chefs in France, Italy, Japan, San Sebastian, Vietnam and most recently, Oaxaca, Mexico.
