Twenty Summers

Join Chef Jon Kung for an exploration of Chinese American cooking, highlighting the seasonal bounty of the Outer Cape. Jon Kung is a content creator and chef hailing from Detroit, Michigan. A self taught Third Culture* cook, Jon combines his lifelong experiences growing up in Toronto and Hong Kong as well as his life lived in his adoptive home of Detroit to create a cuisine he truly sees as Chinese American. His current focus is on creating content and teaching people on new media platforms like Tiktok and Youtube how to express themselves in the kitchen. *Third Culture refers to the mixed identity that one assumes, influenced both by their parents' culture and the culture in which they are raised.
