Chef Kat of Hock & Hoof

Posted by 10498.80sc on

Kat’s career began with culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu, where she honed the skills which would pave the way for her to serve as Chef De Partee for The Ritz Carlton and the JW Marriott Los Angeles at LA LIVE, Sous Chef for Café Pinot, and Chef de Cuisine at Roots & Rye in San Jose.

For Hock+Hoof owners Kat Hu and Justin Yi, it was love at first bite. The pair met while working together at the 2015 Food and Wine Festival and bonded over their passion for food and similar backgrounds. Kat grew up in Nanjing, China, where she learned to make traditional noodles and bao side by side with her two grandmothers. Justin was raised in a similar vein, learning to make traditional Korean food at home and Mexican food in the Food Court kitchen of his parents’ Swap Meet in Las Vegas.

We started MedMen with a simple vision; cannabis as a consumer product. It is a simple idea with profound consequences for how marijuana is cultivated, produced and marketed. Quality standards matter, best practices matter, brand reputation matters. Today, MedMen is the most dominant cannabis enterprise in the emerging legal marijuana industry.

In addition, some special treats at our bar are provided by American Bars - a one-stop marketing platform for bars and a smart lifestyle app for consumers. Think Tinder meets Facebook meets Eventbrite.

Monkey Shoulder Scotch is a superb blended malt whisky from William Grant, made with single malts from three famous Speyside distilleries. The result is a smooth, creamy, supple and very malty Scotch which works superbly well neat, over ice, or inwhisky cocktails (where it really excels).
