Chef John Kim

Hiiii!! If you do not know already, my name is John Kim and I'm thrilled you're considering my services!! Here is a condensed about me; which will hopefully give you some insight to who I am, what I am about, and in doing so, help curate memorable culinary experiences. I am a Korean-American chef who grew up in and around Philadelphia, which is where my immediate family still resides and where I will always consider home. I always had a love for food, even as a child, but it wasn't until my college years while I was going to school for business, when I discovered a passion for cooking and the sense of community that permeates around food. Since then I have been working as a professional chef for about 20 years in almost every aspect of hospitality and everything culinary. Everything from delis, casual grab-and-go's, food halls, and take-out shops; to corporate chains, global hospitality/nightlife groups, hotels, catering, and events; to hyper seasonal fine dining and full-service restaurants; to now providing private and personalized chef experiences. I worked my way up from a prep cook in the suburbs of Philadelphia to eventually becoming a chef/partner in NYC, with many many other roles and venues in between. I lived and worked in NYC for almost 10 years but primarily due to Covid, have transitioned to being a personal chef and now reside in sunny Miami. I have been working as a private chef for nearly 3 years. In those short years I have learned to not only navigate my business through a pandemic but also how to utilize my decades of professional knowledge and skillset to provide an incredible at-home dining experience. Also, in that short span of time, even worked exclusively as the personal chef for a high net-worth family splitting my time between Miami and the Hamptons. I am able to provide a wide range of cuisine and can be flexible when creating menus to help in curating a special meal. I communicate openly and honestly with clients because I understand the value of their time and only ask you to do the same. Whether it's as simple as a grilled cheese sandwich or something elaborate and complex that you would find at Michelin star restaurants, as long as it is prepared with thought and love it can be amazing. Any chef can acquire quality ingredients and learn proper techniques. However, I believe that some of the best food that people want to eat every day are the foods that are attached to a memory, emotion, or experience. The type of dishes that your mother or grandmother made that filled you with joy knowing what you were having for dinner on that particular evening. The type of food that warms your soul on a frigid night, the type of food where you take a bite and pause with a grin just to savor the moment, and the type of food that makes you salivate from the mere scent of its preparation. This is also why food is the highlight for many people in their day to day routines. Food enables community, community creates sharing, sharing brings forth relationships, and relationships are absolutely fundamental for our lives. This is the true nature and power of food and why I became a chef.

What do you love most about your job?

I absolutely love everything food. The cooking, ingredients, techniques, etc. are all amazing aspects that drew me into the profession. But it is the aspect of creativity, community, and sharing that made me fall in love with cooking. Food is such a unique and powerful medium. On one hand it is a very basic fundamental necessity for life and survival. On another hand it can be exhibited and practiced as an art or science where chefs and cooks can develop it into their own with infinite interpretations. And at the end of it all, it brings people together to share a creation that can be enjoyed by all. Food enables community, community creates sharing, sharing brings forth relationships, and relationships are absolutely essential to our lives. This is the true nature and power of food and why I became a chef.

What inspired you to start your own business?

Just to be able to have more control of my day to day life and how I would want my food to be shared and represented. Covid was also a huge determining factor that gave me incredible perspective into our industry and it's sustainability.

Why should our clients choose you?

I have a wide-range of experience and skillset that enables me to deliver a top quality service and product. I am completely transparent and communicate openly about realistic expectations and the ability to meet them or even go beyond. In business, especially something that can be very personal as food, sometimes the process is more meaningful than the actual product. Any experienced chef worth their salt can put together a delicious meal, but it's the continued desire to work with that person again that can make all the difference.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

Unless it is online cooking lessons, then no. It is the nature of the service.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

At request, I can wear a mask and provide full vaccination proof. I take pride in my organization and cleanliness while working.
