: 26, 2020

Welcome to Hidden Narratives of the Coronavirus, a new podcast where Steven Lim speaks with Asian American leaders across industries about how the coronavirus has impacted our community. In this first episode, Steven Lim chats with Deuki Hong, the Korean-American chef and owner of Sunday Hospitality Group in San Francisco, California. On March 21, 2020, all three of his restaurants came to a screeching halt in response to the shelter-in-place mandate by Mayor London Breed of San Francisco. On the night of closing his last restaurant, Deuki recounts his last week of service and what it means to shut down his restaurants indefinitely due to the coronavirus.
