The ‘godmother of Korean cooking’ who broke the glass ceiling over 40 years ago

When Chef Cho Hee Sook first started working in kitchens in the 1980s, she had no idea how much she would shape South Korea’s dining culture — including running a Michelin-starred restaurant in Seoul and mentoring a generation of top Korean chefs. Cho tells Daniel Dae Kim about the challenges she faced along the way. K-Everything: a CNN Original Series streams in the U.S. on the CNN app and globally on HBO Max.
