In June 2009, Debbie Lee was a finalist on the Food Network’s reality TV series “The Next Food Network Star,” competing for a chance to win her own show. Her performance garnered praise from esteemed industry veterans, including Bobby Flay, Ina Garten, Giada De Laurentiis, and Morimoto, among others. Being the first Asian-American female to finish in the top three of any culinary-based TV show, Lee has proven that her unconventional cooking style and unique cultural background is her secret weapon. Combining her Korean heritage and Southern upbringing in a winning combination, Lee is known for her “Seoul to Soul” culinary perspective, where she effortlessly blends together Asian and American cuisines. Trained alongside some of the best French chefs on the West Coast, Lee has had the opportunity to work with such notable restaurants as La Folie, Le Dome, and The Ritz-Carlton. She attributes her cooking chops and inspiration to her mother, late grandmother, and other mentors, including Roland Passot. In 2010, Lee is set to open her inaugural restaurant concept in Los Angeles, “DAEK” – a Korean-inspired pub. Her website is http://seoul2soul.com/
