1. Jungsik — New York, USA

New York’s Jungsik

Ange Kwon New York opened in Tribeca in 2011, just two years after the well-known Jungsik Seoul. In Korean, "jung sik" means a fancy dinner.

Chef Kim went to the Ecole Ferrandi in Paris to learn how to cook. He also worked with chef Pascal Barbot at L'Astrance, a restaurant with three Michelin stars for food.
