His Influence

His appreciation of dining and service influenced decades of now-industry leaders in the Grand Forks and greater Midwestern food scene. When Kim passed in 2022, the outpouring of love and respect from former employees, guests, and community at large were testament not only to his reputation, but to his presence and personality.
