Korean Shop with Chef Gokul

We’re ringing in the new year with a Korean Shop by Chef Gokul!

This new year, we invite you to explore the rich, vibrant flavors of Korean cuisine at The Conservatory with Korean Shop by Chef Gokul. This special menu is a tribute to the late-night culinary adventures Chef Gokul experienced in New York’s Koreatown, but with a personal twist—he was first introduced to Korean cooking by his Korean friend’s mother and grandmother, whose home-cooked meals left a mark on his culinary journey.

Chef Gokul, a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, has perfected his craft at renowned Michelin-starred restaurants such as Junoon, Aureole, The Clock Tower, Rezdora, and Dominique in New York, as well as Blackbird in Chicago. His expertise spans both culinary and pastry arts, and his innovative creations have taken Chennai by storm through his brand Hygge By Chef Gokul.

From Italian to Korean, Japanese to Thai, Filipino to Ethiopian, Chef Gokul’s culinary expertise covers a world of flavors. His time in New York, shaped by the warmth of Korean home cooking, inspired him to bring the bold, comforting tastes of Korea to life in this pop-up.
