Chef Lee Joon-ho, owner of 'Jeojeo', is redefining traditional Korean dishes by adding international touches. After initially dropping out of college, Chef Lee gained culinary experience in Melbourne, Australia, working with Michelin-starred chefs. At 'Jeojeo', located in Itaewon, guests can enjoy familiar dishes like Pork Soup and Bun Cho Heo (Vietnamese-style pork noodle soup) with a twist. His use of ingredients like Korean water parsley and Japanese pepper oil creates an exotic yet classic taste experience without the strong pork aroma typical in such dishes. Chef Lee embraces a "dirty" philosophy, believing that food should appear abundant and overflowing to visually entice diners. He encourages experimenting with new flavors and sharing on social media, hoping others find inspiration in his culinary journey.
