With tickets sold out almost as soon as they went on sale, KoreaNYC Dinners, hosted by Korean gourmet magazine La Main, was one of the most in-demand gastronomic events ever to hit New York City.

Night one took place in 12-seater restaurant Blanca in Brooklyn, with chef-owner Carlo Mirarchi teaming up with Seoul chefs Jinmo Jang of A&ND Dining and Hyun-Seok Choi of Elbon the Table. Here are the highlights in pictures.

7. Lobster and squid ink

 

This was another of my Top 3 faves at last night's World's 50 Best KoreaNYC dinner: squid ink pasta with lobster topped with saffron gel by Korean celebrity chef and TV personality Hyun-Seok Choi (Elbon The Table, Seoul). It may not look like much but this was SO SO delicious and the flavors so well-balanced.👌👌👌 #worlds50best #koreanyc #blancanyc #hyunseokchoi #crazypenne #chefstalk #elbonthetable #sixhands #lobster #squidink #pasta #saffron #lamain #koreainnewyork #newyork #cheryltiutravels #brooklyn #collaborationdinner #thefoodiehub
