Welcome to Austin Writes

Born in Korea and having spent most of my life in the United States, my world has been a blend of two cultures. As a chef specializing in fusion sushi, I find joy in harmonizing these different worlds on a plate. I never learned to write formally, but I have always loved expressing my thoughts on paper.
