In the same episode, Chapter 22, Freddy signed papers to franchise his restaurant around the country but the deal later fell through when due to intense media attention. It is later implied that the friendship may have been one-sided, as Freddy revealed he used to return to his kitchen when he had grown tired of listening to Frank talking. They are established as close friends.įreddy's relationship with Frank becomes strained when Remy exploited this close friendship and leaked details about their relationship to the media as a smear tactic against Frank.
He also mentioned that Frank Underwood had been a customer for about 20 years, from about 1994.įreddy is introduced in Chapter 1, opening his restaurant specifically for Frank in the early hours of the morning. In Chapter 20, during the interview with the Nick Henslow, he mentions, that he and his father weren't close and that "the only thing the mothafucka could do were ribs". Frank, however, didn't know about Freddy's past prior to Chapter 22, when Tusk jeopardized everything near enough to Frank to put him in bad press. ( Chapter 22) In 1992, he opened Freddy's BBQ Joint to start a new chapter in life. He avoided manslaughter charges by pleading guilty to armed robbery, and served nine years. He crashed into another vehicle and killed the elderly couple driving. During a robbery of a convenience store in Columbia Heights in the early 1980s, he lost control of his car during a high speed pursuit. He eventually fell in with a gang of criminals, who were so prolific and successful that they were regularly pocketing up to $60,000 a month. He demanded that the groom perform tasks to show his worthiness - he made Linh do jumping jacks and sing.Freddy's youth and life until 1982 is largely unknown. But Aaron was not satisfied with just money. Aaron demanded money, and, as custom dictates, he and Linh haggled. Linh bounded up the stairs, where he met the bride's man - Phuong's friend, Aaron - who was guarding her door. Phuong's mom, Thin Nguyen, welcomed the group inside, and placed their offerings on a table. They had brought a symbolic dowry of traditional items: tea, wine, fruit, cake, jewelry, and a whole roast pig. Phuong was waiting with her bridesmaids when Linh and his entourage - his groomsmen and family members - had arrived downstairs. Phuong dressed in a traditional Vietnamese wedding gown, covered with animals and flowers embroidered in silk thread. Mitchell, spent a lot of time in the ethnic shops on South Philadelphia's Washington Avenue. To pull it off as authentically as possible, Phuong and her wedding planner, Christina D. The couple decided to honor their heritages by holding tea ceremonies that mixed elements of both cultures. Linh is ethnically Chinese, as was Phuong's grandmother. Both Phuong, a research scientist/engineer at the Army Research Lab at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Md., and Linh, an IT consultant at Bertex Inc. But most important, they wanted to get the legal stuff done to clear an entire day for the cultural traditions that would marry them in the eyes of their families and in their own hearts. They wanted to take advantage of the good fortune that was supposed to surround brides and grooms that day, and they wanted more time to save up for a big reception with friends and family. Legally, Phuong and Linh have been married since last summer, when the two eloped to Key West on a most auspicious date: 8/8/08. Jet Set was supposed to have a date in New York, but he canceled to spend more time with Phuong.
The next day, they attended Trish's birthday dinner together. The day after the long phone calls, he flew to Delaware. Linh, an IT guy, was working in Florida at the time, but he regularly took weekend trips to far-away places such as Los Angeles and Amsterdam.
Trish was having a birthday party that weekend, so she invited her cousin - and set up a date for Linh and Phuong the night before. And then when she got home, they talked more. Phuong talked to Linh for as long as she could while at work. Phuong didn't expect Trish to take her seriously. She and coworker Trish were talking about men one day when Phuong said, "Why don't you hook me up?" In 2005, Phuong was studying chemical engineering at the University of Delaware and working at a Newark nail salon to pay the bills.
