Chef Hooni Kim, 39. For Manhattan-based chef and restaurateur Hooni Kim, traveling around Korea is naturally all about the food.
“[In New York] I’ve been thinking of Hadongkwan’s gomtang for several years,” says the 39-year-old Korean-American chef. “And what surprised me the most on this trip was that it met my expectations. It was just so good.”
In Korea for a 10-day vacation with his wife Catharine, Kim made sure to look up his previous haunts as well as searching for new renditions of his favorite dishes.
But for an up-and-coming chef, even a vacation is high-profile, with Korean media outlets rushing to interview him once they caught wind of his arrival.
Kim himself is quick to dismiss the fame, however. In fact, he views the term “celebrity chef” as an insult.
