Chef Sam Yoo co-hosts a Hot Chefs night at Golden HOF, a Midtown Korean bar and grill inspired by old-school Korean pubs. The event is presented by Square.
A modern Korean pub inspired by the casual 1970s Korean hofs where everyone from office workers to college kids unwound over beer and fried food. The fried chicken comes lacquered in gochujang glaze, the disco fries are buried under gravy and cheese, and the kimchi martini is astonishing. A hanok-style roof marks the entrance across from Rockefeller Center, but the vibe inside is unpretentious Seoul neighborhood bar.
Sticky gochujang-glazed wings. "Hearty!"
Crispy fries topped with Korean black bean pork gravy and melted mozzarella.
Uses kimchi broth made by the chef's father, mixed with soju and lemon peel.
