Exploring Koreatown’s Galleria Market with Chef Debbie Lee

After months of rolling around town in her hugely popular Ahn-Joo food truck, chef Debbie Lee has found new ways to share her love for Korean pub food. The truck has been garaged, but her pub grub menu is now available at Lee’s Ahn-Joo kiosk at the Americana at Brand. She also published a cookbook, “Seoultown Kitchen,” this fall, with the hope of making her pub dishes accessible to the home cook.

Not every cook is familiar with Korean ingredients — but we’re lucky to have them in abundance in L.A. Lee herself likes to shop at the Galleria Market in Koreatown, which fills the ground floor of a three-story mall at the southeast corner of Western and Olympic. Explains Lee, “The Galleria Market is like the Pavilions of Koreatown. Everything you can imagine is under the sun, with the freshest ingredients. I prefer to shop at a market for variety, and the Galleria has just that.”
