Gage & Tollner’s Sohui Kim On The Spirit Of Edna Lewis

Today’s guest is Sohui Kim, the chef behind Brooklyn’s historic Gage & Tollner and the always-fun Insa. Sohui is one of New York City’s most talented and thoughtful chefs, known for bringing deep respect, creativity, and a personal point of view to everything she cooks. Sohui joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about Gage & Tollner, including the recent benefit dinner she hosted for the Edna Lewis Foundation in honor of the 50th anniversary of “The Taste of Country Cooking.” She shares what it means to carry Edna’s legacy forward at Gage & Tollner, where Edna was once head chef, and how that history shows up today—from the Edna Lewis Room upstairs to the she-crab soup on the menu. They also talk about The Hot Dog Edit, Cherry Bombe’s one-day-only pop-up at Rockefeller Center in partnership with OpenTable and Visa, happening tomorrow, Thursday, May 28th. Sohui is one of the featured NYC chefs, alongside Michelle Palazzo and Angie Rito. Her dream dog that we’ll be serving? A Korean-inspired chili cheese dog with gochujang-spiked chili, classic cheese sauce, crunchy onions, kimchi, and perilla. Click here for Edna Lewis’ She-Crab Soup recipe from Gage & Tollner.
