Top Chef Alum Shirley Chung Opens Culver City Restaurant on October 9 - Eater LA
"Shirley Chung, who landed a runner up slot behind Brooke Williamson on Top Chef season 14, will be opening her first full-fledged restaurant Ms. Chi Cafe at the former Hanjip space in Culver City beginning October 9, reports the LA Times. According the Times piece, Chung wants to help “redefine” Chinese food in Los Angeles. At Ms. Chi Cafe, Chung will serve pork potstickers, zhajian-mian with hand cut noodles, and a vegan mapo tofu inspired by Sichuan chef Yu Bo. The Culver City restaurant, which comes off the heels of her more casual stand at The Fields at Banc of California Stadium, will serve all day from breakfast to dinner. The modern Chinese menu extends to brown rice oatmeal, avocado toast, mochi donuts, and adzuki bean pull apart buns in the mornings." - Matthew Kang
