To borrow from E.B. White's quintessential memoirs in his masterpiece of travel writing “Here is New York” of 1949, New York City restaurants can utterly destroy an individual, or be entirely fulfilling, depending a good deal on luck. According to White's initial and most gallant summation of living in New York, “on any person who desires such queer prizes, New York bestows the gift of loneliness and the gift of privacy.” 

The workforce of the service industry is made up of a gallimaufry group of strangers, mostly persons born outside the city, or better, as White aptly puts it, “persons who have pulled up stakes somewhere and come to town, seeking sanctuary or fulfillment, or some greater or lesser grail.” The largesse to offer such dubious gifts is peculiar and mysterious. Perhaps herein lies the wonder of working in New York City.

We discover our longings are universal, our solitude is not forlorn.

We belong.

Executive Chef Zhaojin Dai was born and raised in Shanghai. He is a graduate in engineering from Kansas State University, as well as a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu in Los Angeles. After traveling the United States and working at a variety of Michelin starred restaurants, he joined Jungsik in 2020. Over the course of several years, he was promoted to the role of Executive Sous Chef. Overseeing kitchen operations, managing and training staff, as well taking part in menu development, he was an integral part of the team that would eventually be elevated to Three Michelin Star status in 2024. In August of the same year, he joined Restaurant Yuu in order to gain experience in an open kitchen setting. He recently resigned his post as Chef de Cuisine in order to assume the role of Executive Chef of Maison Sun beginning February 1st of 2025.
