The legendary, venerable, and very opinionated Chuck Chun is in the house for our 40th episode special! From doing pop-ups in Haebangchon and opening his first brick and mortar in an old Pakistani curry shop, to becoming one of the go-to spots in Kyungridan and being featured on 백종원 new TV show, Chuck offers his insights into the Korean (and more specifically Korean-American) food scene in South Korea. He talks about the importance of iterating a dish, adapting to modern trends, and his friendships (and rivalries) within the F&B scene. He also dishes on his first impressions of new restaurants, outlines his criteria for a $20 vs $30 pizza, and offers advice for anyone thinking about opening up shop in Seoul.
