When the Fishers Test Kitchen opens in November, there will be three chefs taking orders. The first three were announced at the Fishers IoT Lab Tuesday night.
Here’s a quick rundown on all three:
Chefs John & Kim
Jung Gyu Kim, “Chef John,” and his brother Jung Min Kim, “Chef Kim,” specialize in Korave Korean BBQ, but also plan to serve such dishes as barbecue beef poutine and barbecue chicken rice bowls.
Chef Leisha Berg
She brings a Southern California background and will pair Midwestern favorites with California flavors in items such as honey-Sriracha chicken wings or pulled pork sliders with a pineapple barbecue sauce.
Chef Carlos Salazar
A 2008 Chefs Academy graduate, he’s been a chef/partner at Rook, an Asian-inspired restaurant on Virginia Avenue in Indianapolis. Chef Carlos will be tapping into his Filipino heritage for his Lil Dumplings global street food restaurant, but don’t be surprised to see chili dogs on the menu as well.
A large crowd welcomed the first chefs to The Yard at Fishers District. The Test Kitchen will be located in a building shared with Sun King Brewery, located just north of the Hyatt Hotel.
