Hi,

Hi, everyone, you are all fired up.

I'm the founder.

I'm the world chicken, drinking, baby, and we're all about it.

Hi, everyone, you are listening to Radio Cherry Bomb, and I'm your host, Carrie Diamond. I'm the founder and editor of Cherry Bomb magazine, and each week I talk to the most interesting women and culinary creatives in and around the world of food. Today's guest is Chef Beverly Kim.

Beverly is the chef and proprietor, along with her husband, of Parachute and the brand-new

Annelia Restaurant in Chicago. Beverly is also a top chef alum and has made a name for herself as a

true talent in the city. Parachute's innovative take on Korean-American cuisine helped usher in a new

era of Chicago's food scene. Her newest spot is an homage to her husband's Ukrainian heritage.

Chef Beverly is also the mother of three and the founder of a nonprofit called the Abundance

Setting, which is all about helping working moms in the hospitality industry.

Beverly will share more about the abundant setting and what all of us

can do to help the moms out there. Stay tuned for my chat with Chef Beverly. Thank you to OpenTable

for supporting this episode. We just wrapped the second leg of our Sit With Us community dinner series

with OpenTable that spotlighted amazing female chefs and female-led restaurants across the country.

We visited Chef Evelyn Garcia's June in Houston, Renee Erickson's The Whale Winds in Seattle,

Chef Beverly's Parachute in Chicago, and just this past weekend, Chef Camille Baceres,

as you are, at Ace Hotel Brooklyn. They're all fantastic places. I highly

recommend you visit, and you can book them via OpenTable. I hope you all have the OpenTable app on your

phone. You can also book through OpenTable.com. Tell the chef, Cherrybaum says hi. Now,

let's check in with today's guest. Beverly Kim, welcome to Radio Cherry Bomb. Hey, thank you.

It's so great being here. Let's bring people up to speed. Tell us about your brand new place,
