Chef and restaurateur Sohui Kim wears many hats—co-owner of two beloved Brooklyn spots, cookbook author, community builder, and mom. At Insa, she serves up Korean BBQ and karaoke with a side of joy. At Gage & Tollner, she honors the storied history of the legendary dining room once graced by the great Edna Lewis (catch Edna’s niece, Nina Williams-Mbengue, on Radio Cherry Bombe here, and tune into “Finding Edna Lewis” historian Deb Freeman’s episode here). Sohui joined host Kerry Diamond to talk about preserving culinary legacies, balancing creativity with care, and the wisdom she’s gained from her journey in food. Whether you’re a longtime fan or meeting her for the first time, you’ll be inspired by Sohui’s heart, humor, and vision.
