Chef Coach

Meet Brandon! Our chef coach. He flew straight from South Korea. Brandon, actually Dong Gi, studied in the United States where he ran his small local business. As a young Korean, he had many dreams. He loves to travel and is still hungry for new experiences and challenges. Brandon's culinary history began in the United States, where he got his first job as a kitchen assistant in a small family restaurant run by native Japanese. He always fondly remembers those times when he learned his first culinary skills under the guidance of the Japanese. This is how his adventure with sushi and traditional Japanese cuisine began. After several years of work, he decided to venture into a more modern area, trying to adapt to the environment in which he lived. "Americans love fusion sushi," he says. So he decided to experience what is behind the curtain of this fame. To his surprise, he very quickly adapted to the culture of "fusion sushi". He saw the more colorful side of this style, which gave him a greater opportunity to create new flavors. Over the next few years, he developed his knowledge by cooperating with renowned restaurants in the States. Then Europe tempted him professionally. He got an offer he couldn't refuse, where he built, from scratch one of the well-known places on the gastronomic map in Krakow. He has trained many sushi masters - a good sushi masters - in Poland. Our Sous Chef Wojtek took his first steps under the watchful eye of Brandon! A few years passed and changes were inevitable. Fate brought Brandon back to his homeland, leaving everything to marry his current wife. For the past 8 years, Brandon has lived a very quiet married life in South Korea, running his modest restaurant where he only served 10 to 15 items. His little restaurant was packed daily with people who came to taste his weekly new menu. As we all know, the pandemic thwarted many people's plans, but we decided not to give up and we invited Brandon to cooperate. To lead our culinary team! We are very happy that we could be a part of restoring his old memories from Poland. You do not know how happy he is that he has come back to us. Soon we will be implementing new products from Brandon! Stay with us:)
