The tangy, savory, and sweet flavors of Korea are on Atlanta’s table for a celebration dinner, welcoming the release of the brand-new cookbook “KOREAWORLD.” A collaboration by San Francisco-based chef and restaurateur Deuki Hong and journalist Matt Rodbard, the book explores Korean cuisine both traditional, modern and fusion, from the kitchens of Koreans and Korean immigrants worldwide.
