Still a little in shock at winning the pitch prize at the pitch contest yesterday in Boston. This was the culmination of an 8 week intensive entrepreneur bootcamp, where I met so many other inspiring food business owners and learned so much from the experts at Sam Adams about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. Thanks to my fellow New England cohort members for being amazing, the pitch judges for believing in me, and my fellow pitch finalists for a tough competition. I got to hear every one of your pitches and they were all compelling and heartfelt. I'm so honored to be growing Asian food in Maine and redefining what Asian-American foodways can look like in New England.

Thank you to the Boston Public Library for having me as a culinary instructor at the Nutrition Lab for AAPI Heritage Month! I was as surprised as you probably are when I was contacted by their chef-in-residence, as I wasn't even aware the BPL had culinary instruction. I've taught two kimchi classes and am looking forward to returning for many more Asian culinary classes (perhaps we'll do dumplings next!) And special thanks to the Boston Neighborhood Network for capturing parts of the class and letting me talk about my Asian-American experience.

Thank you for setting up this 🔥 sake and kimchi tasting!! If you haven't tried this unconventional but fun pairing, DO IT 🥬 The spice of the kimchi and the subtle sweetness of the sake go so well together. Try it out tonight with some grilled chicken or tofu if you're pulling the grill out for the first time this season!
