Naro & Atomix Restaurateur Ellia Park On New Korean Cuisine, Taking Chances, And Changing The World

When Ellia Park moved to New York from Seoul a decade ago with her husband, Chef JP Park, she was literally afraid to talk to people or go outside after dark. Today, she’s the award-winning restaurateur and hospitality pro behind Atoboy, Atomix, Naro, and the new Seoul Salon. Ellia joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her decision to leave Seoul, bootstrapping Atoboy, and popularizing what she and JP call New Korean Cuisine.
