Chef Shirley Chung
A native of Beijing, Chef Shirley Chung will kick things off by showcasing her Chinese heritage and personality with a modern, more elevated Chinese cuisine featuring dishes such as her Bowl of Hugs soup, handmade dumplings and Beijing Lamb Belly, to name just a few. Chung, who attended the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco and has trained in classic French, Italian, Latin and Chinese cuisine, had the distinct honor of working with the greats including Thomas Keller at Bouchon, Guy Savoy and Jose Andres at China Poblano. She finished in the top three as a chef contestant on Bravo’s Top Chef Season 11 and was named the runner up on Top Chef Season 14. Chung is the chef/owner of Ms Chi Café in Culver City and the author of a cookbook Chinese Heritage Cooking from My American Kitchen.
