Busan-born. Chicago-built. MICHELIN-recognized. Chef Sangtae Park is bringing his talent BACK to the suburbs for one night only. South Korea π°π·
Chef Sangtaeβs story begins in his coastal hometown of Busan, South Korea, where his passion for cooking first took shape. After moving to the Chicago suburbs, he opened two restaurants showcasing his unique style of Japanese cuisine before heading into the city, where he created Omakase Yume, an intimate sushi counter with fresh fish flown in daily from Japan. The spot helped Sangtae establish an Edomae sushi scene in the city and earned a coveted MICHELIN star, cementing his place in Chicagoβs omakase scene.Β
From there, a culinary empire was born, with BONYEON, the cityβs first steak-focused omakase, and TenGoku Aburiya, offering izakaya-style dishes, comfort food and binchotan grilling.Β
Now, Chef Sangtae is joining Jose Valentin Sosa at the hearth at The Greggory for a sushi omakase-style dinner on Monday, September 21, with TWO intimate seatings at 5 PM and 8 PM. A portion of the proceeds from each ticket sold will benefit Giving Kitchen.
