From an early age, Peter Cho developed an intuitive grasp of cooking from his Korean immigrant mother. In 2005, with no culinary training, Peter walked into April Bloomfield's Spotted Pig, and started his career. His latest venture, Han Oak, is a prix-fixe Korean barbecue restaurant, merging classic Korean flavors and local ingredients and inventive western techniques.  Peter will also discuss why he doesn't like Han Oak to be called a restaurant, and his recent James Beard nomination.
