His unique cuisine, which blends his South Korean heritage and his United States upbringing, has won a James Beard Foundation Award. In honour of his work he has been officially recognised as a goodwill ambassador for Seoul, Korea.

Join us for a special evening led by a conversation with two of the world’s most exciting chefs—David Chang and Corey Lee.
