My name is Kenneth Luk. I've been cooking in NYC restaurants for 15 years. Most recently, I was a chef consultant for the Catch Restaurant group working at both Catch Steak NY and Catch Steak LA. Before that I was the Executive Chef at Strip House Midtown steakhouse. Nowadays, I enjoy being a personal chef and creating meals tailored to each guest.
It's great to hear that your girlfriend wanted to be a chef growing up, I would love to help her and you with some cooking tips as we make some classic southern recipes together. Above, I have included several options of popular southern dishes we can make. I think focusing on 2 dishes should make for a fun and interactive night. If you have any other questions or requests for dishes to learn, please hit the message button and I'd be happy to answer any and all of your inquiries. Thanks.
