Ann Kim is the Chef/Owner of Pizzeria Lola, Hello Pizza and Young Joni. She also drives the culinary vision for Kyndred Hearth, the flagship restaurant at Omni Viking Lakes Hotel, a partnership between Omni Hotels and the Minnesota Vikings.
As a Korean immigrant raised in Minnesota, she credits her culinary palate and love of cooking to helping her mother and grandmother make traditional Korean staples such as doenjang, gochujang and kimchi.
In 2019, Kim became the first woman and first person of color from Minneapolis to receive the James Beard Award for “Best Chef Midwest." Chef Kim’s work has been widely featured in news outlets such as The New York Times, Vogue, Martha Stewart Living, Forbes, Food & Wine, Wall Street Journal, Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” CBS Saturday’s “The Dish" and "The Splendid Table”. Most recently, she was featured on Netflix’s "Chefs Table: Pizza."
