Bio:
In 2003, Seoul University graduate and first time restaurant owner Jenee Kim franchised Seoul’s popular Park’s Barbeque and instantly raised the cow-grilling game in L.A.’s Koreatown. She built on Park’s success by opening pork-fueled Don Dae Gam in 2009, and on June 1, she debuted a contemporary Korean small plates restaurant called LaOn Dining in back of the same building. Next, she hopes to open a Park’s Barbeque Express in downtown L.A. in 2012. We recently met before dinner service at LaOn Dining, where Chef Kim discussed her background and vision.
