Bio
Andy Youngkyu Lee
In a bold statement, I could only have been who I was and have been able to accomplish and focus what I aspired to achieve as I had Andrea as my right hand man or partner-in-clime. When a lot of renown chefs make their response that in case of fire, they would first find his/her sous chef and take him/her out as a first response, I never understood that comment until i had a pleasure of working with Andrea. He is accurate, focused, well visioned and balanced and I would highly recommend him for any business partner or recruiter looking for a leadership level F&B professional as I am confident that Andrea would be able to bring the desired outcome into reality.
