KBS Documentary Insight Super Dining: Korean Chefs in New York Korean Chefs Taking on the World's Finest Culinary Stage, New York Kimbap Becomes a Signature Menu Item at a Michelin Three-Star Restaurant in New York The End of Korean Food Globalization, the Localization of Korean Cuisine In December 2024, Jungsik New York received three Michelin stars, becoming the first Korean restaurant in the United States to receive such honors. This marked the official recognition of Korean cuisine's rise to the pinnacle of the world's finest culinary scene. "The biggest food story representing a generation in New York today is undoubtedly Korean food." Matt Rodbard / Food Journalist In addition to Jungsik New York, Korean fine dining restaurants like Juok, Jua, and Meju are gaining attention not just as "exotic" dishes, but as a pillar of New York's fine dining scene, sweeping the Michelin Awards. Why did Korean fine dining come to New York, the epicenter of culinary excellence? ■ Korean Chefs Taking on the World's Finest Culinary Stage: New York "New York is, in a way, the center of the world. I just wanted to give it a try. I think I came to New York without any particular plan." Yim Jeong-sik, Owner Chef of Michelin Three-Star Jeongsik Restaurant "I was more afraid of stagnating in Korea than of moving to a new place and trying something new." Shin Chang-ho, Owner Chef of New York Korean Restaurant 'Joo-ok' New York City is considered one of the world's top culinary cities. With thousands of restaurants competing, chefs have set foot on the island to compete with Korean cuisine. It wasn't a grand plan, but a challenge born from a simple "let's give it a try." To continue this challenge, Korean chefs in New York haven't adapted their recipes to Western culinary conventions. They have chosen to preserve the balance and healing values ​​inherent in Korean cuisine, as well as its unique cooking methods and flavor profile. They make their own sauces, ferment with unique Korean ingredients, and even share the sentiments and culinary culture of side dishes. ■ Kimbap Becomes a Signature Menu at a Three-Michelin-Starred Restaurant in New York Jungsik New York is one of only 14 three-starred Michelin restaurants in the United States. Their signature dish isn't truffles, caviar, or foie gras, but rather kimbap. Three-starred chef Yim Jung-sik describes kimbap as "a food full of story," reimagining it not as a simple snack but as a complete fine dining experience. "I don't think Korean food is limited to the foods we ate in the past. I think Korean food is what we envision as continuing into the future." - Yim Jeong-sik / Chef, Owner of Michelin 3-Star Jeongsik Restaurant ■ The End of Korean Food Globalization: Localization of Korean Cuisine "What we chefs share in common is this: We must work the fields. We must first understand the value of these ingredients. For our guests to appreciate them." Ok Dong-sik / Chef, Owner of New York Korean Restaurant 'Ok Dong-sik' New York Korean chefs have returned the starting point of their cuisine to the very essence of ingredients. To secure a stable supply of unique Korean ingredients, they operate their own farms, ferment meju (fermented soybeans), and make sauces. From chili peppers and sesame leaves to chives and radishes, perilla seeds and deodeok (Korean fermented soybeans), they cultivate and ferment ingredients that are difficult to obtain in the United States, thereby preserving the roots of Korean cuisine in New York. "(As a chef), I believe that maintaining one's roots and demonstrating one's identity well is one of the greatest weapons." - Kim Ho-young / Owner Chef of New York Korean Restaurant 'Jua' New York, the stage for world-class cuisine. Korean chefs arrived in New York as outsiders, but now contemplate what legacy they can leave behind in this city.
