Our Story: From Survival to Healthy Living

When we were kids, our parents worked long hours while mom still managed to spoil us with her great dinners in the evening.  But most of the time, we were pretty independent between Hungry Man dinners, Chicken Pot Pie and the microwave.  Yong, being my older brother, had the responsibility of feeding and entertaining me, which he did with no complaints (he did torture me a little). He was quite the expert at frying eggs just right. He would pop the yoke for the perfect balance of white and yellow, never overcooked it, and seasoned with salt and pepper.  Whatever Yong made for me, it was yummy.

Eventually, mom didn’t have to work as many hours, but she did continue to labor just as hard in the kitchen at home. There was always something on the stove or in the pressure cooker, or something soaking in the sink. She was always perfecting what seemed to be already perfect dishes. We *never* ate leftovers. Eventually, "all natural" became the mantra. Soda was forbidden and we were constantly encouraged to eat healthy. These days mom is working on being vegetarian and reinventing all of her korean recipes to be so.

It is from these humble beginnings that Tasteatery has evolved, where food was taken seriously and details mattered. Every meal was a labor of love given to us and we now share that with you. We hope that you would join us on our journey towards healthy eating and healthy living as we continue to perfect our menus and do our best to meet your needs.
