EP 69: Peter Cho, Chef and Owner of Han Oak and Toki
A job delivering groceries at the first Whole Foods location in NYC ignited Peter's curiosity in food. He eventually started to look into enrolling at culinary school which came with a hefty price tag. Heeding a friend's advice to skip school and learn on the job, Peter walked into The Spotted Pig and asked for just that. He started at the bottom and for 10 years, Peter worked on the craft of cooking. As Peter ascended in his professional life, he met his wife, Sun, who opened his eyes to more of the richness of Korean culture and food. After 13 years in New York, he moved back across the country to Portland, Oregon to be closer to family. Today, Peter is the Owner and Chef of two very popular Asian eateries in Portland, Han Oak and Toki.Co-Founder of Claima and Former Nike Marketer, Bimma Williams interviews leading and emerging creatives and entrepreneurs of color about how they were able to build their own tables by turning their hobbies, side hustles, and ideas into thriving small businesses.
