About this event

Hanul Family Alliance is thrilled to invite you to our first virtual event, “Did you Eat?: Beyond the Plate” with award-winning chef, Beverly Kim. In Korean culture, the question “Did you eat?” is not only a commonly used greeting but is also a way to express care and love to loved ones.

For our 2021 virtual gala, Hanul invites attendees along for a uniquely inspiring journey. Chef Beverly Kim will prepare and cook one of her favorite dishes while sharing memories of growing up in a Korean American immigrant family and its impact on her passion for food, equity, and community.

Beverly Kim is a James Beard Award-winning chef and owner of the popular Michelin-starred Chicago eatery Parachute and its sister restaurant Wherewithall. Before her success as a restaurant owner, she appeared on the popular show Top Chef. In addition to her accomplishments, Beverly helped found the Abundance Setting, a nonprofit that aims to elevate mothers and women in the culinary and hospitality industries. Throughout her culinary career, Beverly remained steadfast within the Korean American community, including working as a volunteer in Hanul’s kitchen. Many years later, she continues to give back to the community by donating meals to Hanul’s nutrition program, which directly serves the Korean American senior population. This has been a vital service during a time when food sovereignty can be scarce. To learn more about Hanul Family Alliance and the direct social services and programs we provide, please see our FY20 Annual Report on pages 4-5 in the Sponsorship Package linked at the bottom of this description.

In addition to our program, the Spirit of Community award will be presented to Chicago’s own State Senator Ram Villivalam. Senator Ram has been an incredible supporter and advocate for the Korean American community and Hanul greatly appreciates his partnership.

Attendees can celebrate along at home by pre-ordering the special meal kit hand-picked and prepared by Chef Beverly Kim by April 30. In addition, attendees have the opportunity to win exciting raffle prizes during the event. Any inquiries can be directed to hanul@hanulusa.org.

Join us on May 15, 2021 for a flavorful evening as we go Beyond the Plate with Hanul Family Alliance and Beverly Kim!
