Hi, I’m Daniel Gray. I’m a Korean-American storyteller, tour guide, and food expert who’s passionate about sharing Korea’s rich culture with the world. Over the years, I’ve hosted travelers, curated immersive tours, and appeared on shows like Netflix’s Street Food: Asia – Seoul. My goal is simple: to help you connect deeply with Korea through meaningful experiences, delicious food, and unforgettable stories.

I offer customized food tours by request. My experiences are progressive meals that are focused on traditional markets, artisan products and local chefs. As I get to know my guests, I will change up the itinerary on the fly to fit certain requests, dietary restrictions and other factors. I offer lunch or dinner tours and exploratory tours for hospitality and food professionals that are looking for a deep dive into Korean cuisine.

He said the most interesting person he has met on his tour was a certain blond from the movie Swingers (you might know her as Rollergirl from Boogie Nights) because he and his friends idolized her growing up. He also had a chance to meet Mr. Bourdain on a production because he always dreamed of having a drink with the man while reading his books. When he isn’t eating, he writes, makes sure his wife is happy, and works out as much as he can (so he can eat more.)
