When Fresh Off the Boat aired back in February 2015 it shined a spotlight on one of the most current controversial chefs, Eddie Huang. While Huang may have been widely known due to his New York Taiwanese-based sandwich shop, BaoHaus, as well as his TV appearances on the Cooking Channel’s Unique Eats and Viceland’s Huang’s World, his family was a bit more of a mystery. Sure, his memoir covered his family life pretty closely, but the show definitely reached more people, introducing the world to his siblings and his parents.

Who is Louis Huang?

Louis Huang is the father of Eddie, and his two brothers Emery and Evan. The hardworking dad relocated his family to Orlando, Florida from the bustling and inclusive Chinatown neighborhood of Washington D.C. Huang senior initiated the move to pursue his hospitality goals. Florida was the perfect state to open his “All-American” restaurants.

The first of his food-based endeavors was called Cattleman’s Ranch, a steakhouse catering to the typical meat-based diet of the average American. The restaurant was a resounding success in it’s earlier days and just recently closed in 2013. The elder Huang opened up some other “surf and turf” eateries, catering to the American people, and creating a great life for his family.

Who is Randall Park?

Louis Huang is played by Randall Park in the successful sitcom. Park is an actor-writer-director with a ton of talent to offer. He did such a fantastic job as the patriarch of the Huang family that he’s received two nominations for his work on the series. In 2016 he was nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy Series during the Critics Choice awards. He was also nominated two years later for the same award. Despite his success on the show, this isn’t Park’s first rodeo.
