Join JBF Greens for modern Korean cuisine at Baroo in the Arts District. 

 

Run by husband-wife duo Kwang Uh and Mina Park, Baroo has been a long-standing project for them, appearing first as a 16-seat restaurant in East Hollywood (Baroo 1.0) and then as a pop-up in a flea market (Baroo Canteen). 

 

Baroo specializes in innovative tasting menus with thought-provoking dish names like, "life begins" and "finally realize?", complemented by a robust bar program featuring Korean beverages. The mission, in Kwang and Mina's own words, is "to serve food with a beginner's mind". 

 

For the occasion, Kwang will prepare a three-course menu that highlights whimsical Korean dishes with familiar, yet elevated flavors. Wine pairings will be provided by The Calling.

 

*70% of your ticket price will go directly to the host chef to support their business while 30% will go towards the Foundation’s national programming that is rooted in advocacy, racial equity, sustainability, and women’s leadership for the culinary industry.  

All reservations are non-refundable and must be made in advance. Should the event(s) be cancelled due to any unforeseen circumstances, including COVID-19, The James Beard Foundation will offer options including ticket exchanges, use of tickets for future events, and option to donate tickets.
