The Blasian Asian

About Us

Chavrat (Chevy) DuBose, born and raised in Cambodia, moved to Seattle, Washington in 1997 where she lived for 18 years. A job promotion for her husband Mike relocated the family to Waco, Texas in 2015. Once here, Chevy found it difficult to find Cambodian food in Waco. She found herself traveling to either the Austin or Dallas areas to pick up items from various Asian markets which she used to create traditional Cambodian dishes. One by one, Chevy began sharing and cooking for some of her friends. These friends highly encouraged her to share her dishes on a larger scale, i.e. a food trailer or restaurant. 

October 2016, Mike and Chevy on an impulse decided, why not buy a small food trailer and see what happens. That first week of December Chevy, Mike, and son Aaron debuted some of Chevy’s favorite Cambodian dishes as The Blasian Asian in Waco, TX. Although she had many dishes that she wanted to share with the folks in Waco, the small food trailer presented challenges in what she could produce. As the popularity of her food quickly grew, it became obvious that the need for a larger trailer was a necessity. So, in August of 2017, The Blasian Asian moved to a larger trailer that accommodated more of what Chevy needed for a larger menu selection. This also simultaneously created the ability to keep up with a much larger demand than what was first expected.
