Kin - Editor, Contributer, Food Lover

About
Kin grew up in the suburbs of Northeast Philadelphia, PA and Cherry Hill, New Jersey. When he was old enough to work, he spent most of his weekends at his father’s Chinese restaurant before it was recently sold. For over 14 years, Kin had a hand in many of the food preparation tasks and in assisting his father manage restaurant operations. He spent half of his time in the kitchen learning food preparation and cooking techniques and half of his time in the dining area.

Now that he has his own kitchen, he finally has the opportunity to apply all the skills he’s learned. Many of Kin’s culinary creations are Cantonese inspired and he likes to fuse Asian and other foreign flavors into his cooking. He is also big on food presentation.
