On this week’s menu: a follow-up conversation about South Korea’s soft power and how cultural influence - especially through food - can amplify a country’s presence beyond its own borders and into a “global mainstream”. Lending us their informed perspective are chef Deuki Hong and food journalist Matt Rodbard. They’ve co-written the New York Times Bestselling book KOREATOWN and have now released a delicious sequel KOREAWORLD. So they know a thing or two.
