New York restaurants get touch of Korean spice

 

Korean touches are being introduced to dishes at major restaurants located in the Big Apple, according to the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries.

Jean Georges, who has three Michelin stars, started to provide fusion Korean food like pepper paste & butter steak and kimchi hotdogs at his New York restaurants Perry St. and Mercer Kitchen.

Georges, who also owns 20 restaurants around the globe, won attention in Korea after making appearance in the program “Kimchi Chronicles,” aired by American broadcasting station PBS.

David Chang, who has two Michelin stars, also provides Korean-style boiled pork and kimchi steak at his Momofuku Ssam Bar in New York.

Angelo Sosa, another popular cook from TV program “Top Chef,” sells bibimbap (mixed rice) and bulgogi (Korean-style barbeque) burgers at Social Eatz, and the two dishes account for 35 percent of the store’s sales.

His famous burgers also won the grand prize at Eater’s Greatest Burger in America Contest.

Meanwhile, the Food Ministry hosted an event at Sosa’s restaurant on last Wednesday and invited local press and food bloggers, introducing different kinds of Korean dishes.
