Charles Phan, a chef whose love of food led to opening the popular Slanted Door restaurants and showcasing modern Vietnamese cuisine throughout the Bay Area and beyond, died on Monday, January 20. He was 62.

I was fortunate enough to eat at Slanted Door any number of times.  It was an excellent restaurant, and the later location in San Francisco's Ferry Building offered stunning views as well as fabulous food.

RIP, Chef.

I remember the Ferry Building location but never got around to it. Too young.

I’m in Beaune France and there is a Slanted Door in a new hotel. The hotel is owned by one of Phan’s business partners.

I was lucky enough to eat at The Slanted Door on someone else's dime (business dinner).  I was hoping I could go back to a reopened Ferry Building iteration.
