This Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACCC) will launch the “Rising Chefs Series,” the non-profit organization’s first-ever pop-up series concept in Downtown Los Angeles. The dynamic experience will bring together three emerging Asian American chefs in a 4-week celebration of food, culture and the spirit of innovation.
Week 2 will feature a restaurant concept by Kevin Lee, a trained Korean American chef who specializes in French and Italian cuisine, with prior experience at several Michelin-star restaurants. Chef Lee’s menu reflects his formal training in Italian and French cuisine, seasoned with flavors from his Korean roots.
