Matthew Kang and Emanuel Hahn, "The Past, Present, and Future of LA's Koreatown Restaurants"

(note: in June only, the program is the first Saturday of the month)

Matthew Kang is the lead editor of Eater LA. He has covered dining, restaurants, food culture, and nightlife in Los Angeles for over 14 years. His work has also been featured in Angeleno Magazine and TASTE Cooking. He hosted a YouTube show called K-Town covering Korean food in America and has been featured on Netflix's Street Food, Hulu's Searching for Soul Food, and Cooking Channel's Food: Fact or Fiction. He grew up in Glendale, graduated from USC, and lives in Torrance with his wife Rochelle and toddler Enzo.

 Emanuel Hahn is a Los Angeles-based commercial and documentary photographer/director. He is interested in topics of identity, culture, diasporic experiences and the question of what it means "to belong." His deep observational and listening abilities have led him to tell the stories of the coffee farmers in Colombia, Chinese grocery store owners in the Mississippi Delta, the Korean Uzbeks in Brooklyn, and most recently the Koreatown community in Los Angeles through his photo book Koreatown Dreaming.
