Wow! The trailer of Street Food Asia by the Creators of Chef’s Table finally came out! It looks great and I love the heart and message of it. It is amazing to see a small part of it since I helped work on the Korea episode. It was a long process and we pitched dozens of ideas but I feel Korea is justly represented. Thank you to Ursula Collison and Tamara Rosenfeld for working with our crew to get the green light on the Korea episode. Out of 195 countries in the world we were 1 of 10. Thank you to my amazing local crew: Hyemin, Yoonie, Junhee, Taesan and everyone else. Thank you to Yoonsun Cho, the Park family from Pakgane, the Four Seasons Hotel and Hong Lim’s banchan store. Thank you to Brian McGinn for making it all the way to Korea. Geez... too many people to list. Watch the episode and see it on April 26th on Netflix. Spread the word.

Gosh, has it been that long? I was invited to the Millenium Hilton Seoul Hotel to visit the Mango Buffet which is held in the afternoon. Think of it as a tea time with lots of fresh mango, cakes, sandwiches, teas, and more. They even had some chicken wings and some meatballs for those that wanted something a bit more savory. All the food was very fresh and it was lovely to sit in their very large atrium. Our daughter, Hazell, loved all the food and the opportunity to run around. Our favorite courses were the mango tea, smoothie and the tarts. The fresh mango was Hazell's favorite. I think we sat for a good two hours just talking and snacking. I would check it out if you have some time. The mango buffet is from 2:30-4:30pm and then...
