Jung Eun Chae caused a sensation when she opened her tiny Brunswick apartment to six diners per night, four times per week, with a waiting list that exploded to more than 8000 people. She was named Gourmet Traveller's best new talent for 2022, and one of The Age Good Food Guide's tastemakers of the year, thanks to her medicinal style of traditional South Korean cooking using from-scratch ferments and handmade sauces, extracts, vinegars and kombuchas. She has since moved to semi-rural Cockatoo on the outskirts of Melbourne with husband Yoora and their labrador, where she continues to operate her two-hatted six-seat restaurant.
