But before we dive into that, give us a little bit of background on you, like your experience and how you got here.

Douglas KimGUEST
Yeah, I was born in Korea and I moved to the States at a very young age at two, grew up in Chicago.

Douglas KimGUEST
I had a love for cooking, definitely did some of the culinary arts stuff in high school.

Douglas KimGUEST
And then, you know, as I was getting towards college, I had a decision to either go to business school or go to culinary school and I didn't want to sit behind a desk.

Douglas KimGUEST
And here I am sitting behind a desk 15 years later or 20 years later, but went to culinary school.

Douglas KimGUEST
And of course at the CIA, they're known for their wine curriculum, which is at the time was a three week course.
