Reply to "Meet the Kitchen Cabinet, 13 cooks who will be sharing their global recipes in the next year"

Sean Park (Korean)

Park owns Kanpai in Mount Pleasant, where his sushi continues to wow eaters who first knew him as O-Ku’s executive chef. But Park’s heritage is Korean: He was born in Seoul, and moved to Charleston in 2010.

Favorite childhood food: Kalbi, the marinated beef short rib which many American-born eaters will recognize from Korean restaurants with tabletop grills.  

Current favorite food to make: Like Tedesco, Park most enjoys "any kind of soup."

Keep in mind when cooking a Park recipe: Park says he tries to season his food with a "hint of humor and song," but he's most concerned about the salt in home cooks' spice cabinets. "No cheap sea salt," he pleads, recommending kosher or high-quality sea salt instead of the iodized table salt for which many cooks instinctively reach.
