Simon Kim is the restaurateur behind Cote, a one-of-a-kind, Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse in New York City, which is set to open its Miami location in early 2021. In this conversation with chef Michael Beltrán on Pan Con Podcast, Simon talks about how visiting fine dining restaurants with his dad in South Korea and his adolescence in his family’s Korean restaurant in Tribeca led to his falling in love with hospitality and restaurants.
Simon and Mike also get into their respective experiences with understanding the relationship between their heritage and their work — namely, in how each of them has translated a dual national identity into a restaurant experience.
In the Patreon-only extended cut of this episode, Mike has five extra food-related questions for Simon.
