i worked for Joël Robuchon's protégé, and got promoted?

on week 2 of the vlog, we are staging/interning for a one-night pop-up dinner hosted by Chef Yosuke Suga of SUGALABO in Los Angeles.

Yosuke Suga, the chef/owner of SUGALABO Inc, joined the Joël Robuchon Group at the age of 25. Over his 16-year career, he worked his way up to the position of executive chef and Robuchon's right-hand man. In 2014, he left the Robuchon group and started SUGALABO, a highly coveted 20-seat restaurant in Tokyo. SUGALABO earned the LA LISTE World No.1 Restaurant spot in 2020 and 2021, and Suga-san earned the LA LISTE No. 1 French Chef in the world. He's also an ambassador for the french champagne house, Krug.

special thanks to my mentor Chef Chris Ono, Chef Mark of Brothers Sushi, JACCC, and many more people. this was a fun one, also cuz I didn't really do much lmao 😅
