Chris Oh reflects on his journey from growing up in a Korean immigrant family to becoming a Michelin-rated chef and restaurateur. He recalls how his love for food was shaped by his mother’s dedication to cooking traditional Korean dishes, though as a child, he often felt embarrassed to bring them to school. He explains that, despite his passion for food, he initially pursued careers in real estate and entrepreneurship before realizing that his true calling was in the kitchen. The chef looks back on his breakthrough moment when he and his team won The Great Food Truck Race, a victory that catapulted his culinary career and led to the launch of multiple restaurant ventures. He details his experiences on Food Network’s most intense competitions, including 24 in 24: Last Chef Standing and Tournament of Champions. Despite his unconventional path to success, he acknowledges how his parents, once skeptical of his career choice, have since become his biggest supporters—even working alongside him at food festivals.
