"Korean food isn't shy."

Video from YouTube uploaded by KimchiChronicles. 

The "Kimchi Chronicles" is described as "part travelogue, part food fantasy and part documentary of self-discovery." 

Each episode discovers and highlights a part of Korean cuisine that is both colorful and hunger-inducing in a way that we've never seen before, especially in a made-for-American broadcast on Korean food. 

The show stars Marja Vongerichten, who was born near Seoul to a Korean mother and an American soldier and was ultimately adopted by a family in Virginia at the age of three. 

Years later, she eventually reunited with her birth mother in Brooklyn who cooked her a traditional Korean meal and the meal, she said, flooded back memories and taste of her childhood in Korea. 

Her husband is critically acclaimed chef Jean-George Vongerichten who received the top honor of three stars from the Michelin Guide. 

Check out our review of The Patio, a Korean barbeque restaurant in Tustin that's famous for its grilled kimchi.
