FILE - Edward Lee speaks at Bourbon and Beyond Music Festival at Kentucky Exposition Center on Sunday, Sept. 18, 2022, in Louisville, Ky. Chef Edward Lee says food, at its best, tells a story. And the story he wants to be told with the meal he's whipping up for next week's White House state dinner is of the deep connection between the United States and South Korea, its ally. – Chef Edward Lee says food, at its best, tells a story.
He said any iconic American food, if spiked with a"little Korean flavor or Korean spice,” will still be familiar, but it will just be different and unique. Real food for thought, he said. The 50-year-old husband and father couldn’t say what's on the menu. The White House will be releasing those details on Monday. But the menu has been finalized, Lee said, practically breathing a sigh of relief during Thursday's telephone interview.
Lee says Southerners and Koreans are alike in how they eat — big tables, plenty of food, side dishes, grazing and barbecue. Different spices, flavors and techniques, he said, “but the philosophy is the same, the sensation is the same.” Lewis' career spans film, television and theater. He made history in 2014 as Broadway's first Black phantom in “The Phantom of the Opera,” which recently. He currently stars in the national tour of the Tony Award-winning production of “A Soldier's Play.”
