Jamie BissonnetteChef/Partner
  • As printed Jamie Bissonnette is a chef and founding partner of Boston-based hospitality group, BCB3. Jamie’s interest in cooking started when he was young, and it was in watching the greats like Julia Child and Jacques Pepin on cooking shows where he was inspired to get creative in the kitchen and really play around with recipes. His dedication to his craft and a desire to make every recipe his own soon brought him to Florida, where he studied culinary arts at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Jamie was made a partner at Toro in 2007 and was the opening chef and partner of Coppa, Little Donkey, and Faccia e Faccia, all of which have become staples in Boston’s vibrant restaurant scene. His work has been celebrated throughout his career, winning Food & Wine’s inaugural People’s Choice: Best New Chef award in 2011 and the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Northeast in 2014, as well as appearing on Chopped and America’s Test Kitchen: The Next Generation, battling on Iron Chef America, and serving as a judge on both Worst Cooks in America and Beat Bobby Flay. However, some of Jamie’s favorite moments of his career were being able to cook for Julia Child and Jacques Pepin, the chefs that first inspired him.When not spending time in the kitchen, Jamie puts his passion into music, whether playing bass, collecting records, or spending time getting nerdy and updating turntables for the best sound quality possible. In fact, he notes the undeniable synergies between cooking and music—it was actually his love of punk and hardcore music that turned him onto vegetarian and vegan cooking as a teenager—equating recipes to songs: just because someone else wrote it doesn’t mean you can’t play it your way. Jamie’s obsession with music is on full display at BCB3’s new listening bar, Temple Records, in which he built the analog system, as well as supplied the vast majority of the vinyl that is played each night. He also serves as the chef of 소맥 (Somaek), a welcoming, intimate Korean restaurant, and Sushi @ Temple Records, the subterranean sushi den underneath Temple Records. No matter the concept, Jamie and the BCB3 team will treat diners like a guest in their own homes, removing the structure and ceremony of going to a meal and instead finding a way to break the rules in a way that works—both in the kitchen and as a host.Outside of BCB3, Jamie partnered with long-time friend and artist Darren Brass as well as Winchell Mountain Coffee, like Voltron, to create their most awesome passion project: Shinchu Coffees. Jamie also sits on the culinary board of Spoonfuls, a Boston-based food recovery operation that is the largest of its kind in New England. Jamie lives in the South End of Boston with his wife, Song, and their dogs, Ozzy and Steven

Tong LeeChef de Cuisine
  • As printed Chef Tong Lee is the Chef de Cuisine Chef of Somaek, where he works alongside Chef Jamie Bissonnette to honor the traditions of Korean cuisine at the restaurant that has garnered accolades from The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Michelin Guide, among others. Born in South Korea and raised in Massachusetts after immigrating to the United States with his family at the age of nine, Lee's culinary perspective is deeply rooted in the flavors, techniques, and memories of his childhood. Although cooking was his dream from a young age, Lee initially pursued biology and environmental science in college, following a more traditional path encouraged by his immigrant parents. However, after graduating, he realized his passion for food had never left and committed himself fully to a career in professional kitchens. Forgoing culinary school, he learned through hands-on experience, seeking out mentors at every stage of his career and building his foundation in acclaimed Boston-area restaurants including 80 Thoreau, a farm-to-table restaurant located in Concord, and Little Donkey, where he first met Bissonnette. When Bissonnette announced the opening of Somaek, Lee saw the opportunity as a natural culmination of his experience, a chance to cook the Korean food he grew up eating while helping introduce its depth and nuance to a wider audience. Joining the restaurant from its earliest days, he initially focused on recipe development and traditional Korean flavors before rising into a leadership role overseeing the kitchen and continuing to shape the restaurant's culinary direction, now as the Chef de Cuisine.At Somaek, Lee partners closely with Bissonnette to balance authenticity with innovation, continually refining dishes while preserving the comforting, nostalgic qualities that define Korean home cooking. His greatest source of inspiration remains his mother's cooking, which he came to appreciate even more after years spent working in restaurants. Every new dish is measured against the meals he grew up eating, with the goal of creating food that feels familiar to Korean guests while offering an inviting introduction to those discovering the cuisine for the first time.Outside the kitchen, Lee enjoys hiking, antiquing, reading, and collecting vintage silver spoons and Korean pottery.
