Chef Edward Lee, known for his appearance on the Netflix show 'The Chef Show', recently held a book talk in South Korea for the release of his book 'Buttermilk Graffiti'. Although initially invited to judge the show, his passion for Korean cuisine led him to participate as a contestant instead. Lee, who majored in English Literature at NYU, discussed his journey from chef to author, emphasizing his commitment to writing his own stories despite suggestions to use a ghostwriter. He plans to continue documenting his experiences, particularly those in South Korea. His book won the prestigious James Beard Award for its exploration of culture and identity through the lens of food.
