Jason Cho joins CultureMap food editor to discuss his businesses. The Korean American chef and restaurateur currently operates
Karne Korean Steakhouse in The Heights later this year. When Cho opened Dak & Bop s first location in the Museum District, Korean fried chicken, which gets its signature crunch from being twice-fried, hadn t taken off in Houston. Cho recalls having to convince skeptical investors and bankers that he could build a sustainable business, but Dak & Bop took off almost immediately. Even though national chains such as Bonchon and BB.Q Chicken have since entered the market, Cho says he isn t concerned about increased competition.
