Robert Austin Cho started off as a hobbyist chef who just decided to buy a smoker after seeing people [cook with it on TV](https://pigisland.com/chef-interviews/bbq-with-a-chorean-flair-by-chef-robert-austin-cho/). From these humble beginnings he experimented and eventually became the winner of Pig Island NYC BBQ cookoff. This propelled him onto TV and eventually he got to battle against one of the TV chefs that inspired him on Beat Bobby Flay. He really does have an interesting origin story and his willingness to experiment with different styles leads to interesting dishes like the [Chonut](https://nyfta.org/kimchi-smoke) which is a smoked brisket sandwiched between a donut.

Today’s [recipe](https://old.reddit.com/r/GifRecipes/comments/1m400t8/korean_slaw/n40lnvq/) comes from Chef Robert Austin Cho of [Kimchi Smoke](https://www.kimchismokeorders.com/s/order) BBQ Shack in Ridgewood, New Jersey. This seems like my kind of place as you can get some Texas style BBQ, Empanadas, Canadian poutine with curry, Tennesee fried chicken bowls and Korean styled Bao buns. If you are ever in the area, stop by and check them out.
