Mama Teav’s Hot Garlic Sauce
In the final episode of this season of Death in Cambodia, Life in America, I sit down with siblings Christina and Anthony Teav, co-founders of Mama Teav’s Hot Garlic Sauce, for a conversation about food, family, and what it means to build something rooted in legacy.
We talk about growing up Cambodian American in Stockton, navigating identity in the shadow of war, and how their family’s story inspired them to launch a business that celebrates Cambodian flavor. Christina and Anthony open up about the healing power of cooking with their mom, the early hustle of bringing Mama Teav’s to market, and their hopes for building a Southeast Asian brand with heart and purpose.
A beautiful close to the season, this episode is all about food, family, and finding your way back to yourself through flavor.
