“This is f*ckin delicious!”
Don’t mistake
Chef Sol for being mad at the pass. He will always
respond, “I am just focused.”
Head Chef Sol Han
Korea
born, New York raised
“This is
f*ckin delicious!”
Don’t mistake Chef Sol
for being mad at the pass. He will always
respond, “I am just focused.”
At
the age of 14, Sol knew his calling in the
kitchen. Growing up at his parents’ restaurant
in Long Island, he saw the kitchen as his
personal playground. As his interests for
restaurants intensified, he naturally aspired
to attend the Culinary Institute of America.
Following his graduation, he was honored to
work alongside Chef Michael White at Ai Fiori
and became the Sous Chef at the age of 25.
His
madness for food did not stop there. He
continued to explore various kitchens in New
York until he landed at Michelin-starred Le
CouCou, a fine-dining French Restaurant, where
he became the Executive Sous Chef.
When
indoor dining got shut down due to the
pandemic, Chef Sol began to reflect on his
culinary journey. This time of stillness
allowed him to appreciate the food from his
native culture. In fact, he became a "little
mad” trying to find ways to share his story.
He realized the best way to share his passion
was to simply put it on a plate. At LittleMad,
Chef Sol welcomes you to his unique take on
new American cuisine which is rooted in French
techniques and intertwined with his culture as
a Korean American.
Sous Chef Henry Delashmet
Growing up on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, Henry
developed an interest in southern inspired
coastal cuisine by cooking with his mother at
home.
His culinary journey started while
attending the University of Alabama, as a
pre-law major. He quickly realized he enjoyed
cooking much more than being an office
dweller, so he quit school and moved to Costa
Rica to learn about the diverse food and
restaurant businesses.
Once he moved back
to the US, Henry continued his journey by
traveling around the country, working in
prestigious restaurants in Colorado, Wyoming,
Florida, Las Vegas, and now New York. Henry
landed at Little Mad in August 2022.
