episode 3: Esther Choi: Korean Flavors, Straight Outta Jersey
On this week's episode of The Meals That Made Me, Adam chats with Esther Choi, a true food legend, entrepreneur, and the chef and owner of NYC-based restaurants Mŏkbar and Ms. Yoo.
Esther talks about her deep love for her Korean heritage and her need to "Korean-ify" everything. From the disco fries she grew up eating in South Jersey, to her death row meal of kimchi jjigae, and why it was so important for her to master making beautiful dumplings - these are the meals that made Esther Choi.
