Chef Kate Telfeyan (previously of Porcelain) is bringing her eclectic culinary style to Hana Makgeolli for a one night only pop-up on October 26th. Characterized by her “vaguely asian” approach to everything she cooks, Kate’s special menu will be a celebration of seasonal hibernation, a time to indulge, get cozy, and settle in for the coming colder months.
It was at Porcelain - 2022 Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant in Ridgewood - where Kate and Alice first met, and where their first collab dinner took place. Kate is thrilled for the opportunity to now be a guest at the Hana tasting room and delve deeper into the world of sool.
Kate’s food reflects her diverse background as a Korean adoptee drawing inspiration from her upbringing in rural New England, travels abroad, and her many years living in New York City. While her food never straightforwardly adheres to any one specific style, she is excited to focus this menu a bit more extensively on her Korean heritage.
