Premiering at some point here in 2011 is a brand new series on PBS about Korean food called The Kimchi Chronicles, and it looks like this one is going to cover more than just sam gyop sal and dak bal. The several episode series is being hosted by Marja Vongerichten, wife of famous chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Heather Graham (Austin Powers 2 anyone?) also makes an appearance in at least one episode. If you ask me (and you didn’t), I’d say it’s about time that a mainstream American media channel took on the wide world of Korean cuisine. Watch the Official Kimchi Chronicles Trailer on the NYTimes.com (this video could not be embedded).
