How the Owner of Hahm Ji Bach Helped Shape the Koreatown of Queens | Eater NY
"Back in the 2000s I watched Younghwan Kim put Queens’s Koreatown on the map with Hahm Ji Bach, serving thick, sizzling slabs of samgyupsal grilled at the table accompanied by lettuce, ssamjang, garlic, and a magnificent array of at least 10 banchan; the restaurant took off after Kim honed recipes, improved service, expanded to six neighborhood restaurants, won a 2010 Michelin Bib Gourmand, and became the center of his civic efforts to preserve Murray Hill’s Korean community." - Caroline Shin
