Daniel Kim

Queens, NY · he/him

Daniel did his five years on the line (Manhattan, dinner service, the punishing ballet of it) and then, quite sensibly, stopped. He develops recipes now from a quieter Queens kitchen and, like most reformed restaurant cooks, tends to make the food his parents brought with them from Seoul in the eighties rather than anything he was ever made to plate in a dinner rush. Holds strong, almost religious views on cast iron. Will, gently, ask you to stop washing it.
