What Kind of Asian Are You?
The Restaurant Kid Who Never Stopped Learning | Carl Lam | 125

Carl Lam is a meteorologist, educator, musician, and lifelong learner—but before any of those titles, he was a restaurant kid growing up in his family's Chinese restaurant in Buffalo, New York.
In this episode of What Kind of Asian Are You?, Carl reflects on the values he inherited from his Hong Kong immigrant parents, the lessons he learned behind the restaurant counter, and how those experiences continue to shape the way he approaches life, work, and learning today.
We explore growing up in a family business, preserving Cantonese language and culture, finding representation in broadcast meteorology, and why Carl believes education is one of the greatest gifts his parents gave him.
This is a conversation about identity, gratitude, and carrying forward the legacy of those who came before us.
