Refined Heritage: A Return to Jeong
Refined Heritage: A Return to Jeong
The Bailliage de Chicago is delighted to return to Jeong, one of the city’s most elegant expressions of modern Korean gastronomy. We reunite in this serene West Town sanctuary to witness how Chef Dave Park and Jennifer Tran continue to evolve their deeply personal narrative through a sophisticated, contemporary lens.
Please note this event will take place on Wednesday, June 24 @ 630PM
The Culinary Evolution
Named after Chef Park’s grandmother, Jeong is an exploration of “Korean-inspired” cuisine that balances traditional fermentation and bold flavors with meticulous French technique. The kitchen will present a tasting menu that reflects the transition into the summer harvest.
The Evening’s Highlights
- The Seasonal Progression: A bespoke tasting journey showcasing the bridge between Korean pantry staples and Midwest ingredients.
- Thoughtful Pairings: Wines and spirits chosen to harmonize with the unique umami, spice, and acidity of the menu.
- A Familiar Welcome: A reunion honoring the “Jeong” philosophy—a deep, emotional connection and sense of belonging.
“Our goal is to take the flavors I grew up with and present them in a way that is both nostalgic and entirely new.” — Chef Dave Park
