Modern Mediterranean Meets Korean-Chinese with Chefs Tomer Blechman and Jiho Kim

Tomer Blechman, the executive chef and owner of the acclaimed Brooklyn restaurants Theodora and Miss Ada, has made a name for himself with his inventive approach to Mediterranean cuisine. The perpetually booked Theodora has guests clamoring for the dry-aged seafood and open-fire cooking that are the hallmarks of the menu. At Michelin-starred Joomak Banjum and the newly opened DDOBar, elegant and innovative Korean-Chinese dishes are executed with precision by chef Jiho Kim, a veteran of New York City fine-dining restaurants such as The Modern. Chef Blechman and Theodora's Chef De Cuisine Vitor Mendes, are collaborating with Chef Kim on an exclusive menu that explores where Korean-Chinese and Mediterranean flavors meet and mingle to create a singular dining experience.
