"Absolutely," I said, feeling a surge of motivation. "Let's start by finalizing the menu for the new branch. I've been thinking about some fusion dishes that could really set us apart."
We spent the morning experimenting with different recipes, blending traditional Korean flavors with Western culinary techniques. It was a fun and creative process, and I could feel the excitement building as we tasted each dish.
"This is fantastic, Jiyeon," Chef Kang said, savoring a bite of our latest creation, a bulgogi taco with kimchi salsa. "I think these dishes will be a big hit."
"I hope so," I replied, feeling a mix of pride and nervousness. "There's still so much to do, but I'm confident we can make it happen."
We continued brainstorming, trying to come up with a signature dish that would set our new branch apart. It needed to be something unique and memorable, a dish that would make people come back for more.
