Have you heard of @oceanwise?

During the Toronto premiere of Our Ocean Table, we were lucky enough to have them sponsor our reception with some delicious and sustainable food.

Ocean Wise is a non-profit organization inspiring action to conserve our oceans. Looking for their label while buying seafood is a great way to support our oceans and marine life! by @ouroceantable

More photos from our time at @leoawardsbc! Thank you to the whole team for such a memorable night.

We picked up this award for our incredible hosts, @sonyaslee and @hannsung, who were unable to attend (but very much with us in spirit!).

Huge thank you to everyone who voted for us, and to all of the winners and nominees from the evening. by @ouroceantable

We learned so much during this project. Each dish triggered a new understanding of Korean culture, our heritage, and our connection to the sea.

This dish is from @jinmibychefj, where Chef J was kind enough to host us.

Very grateful we got to visit @jinbaryyc before they closed. @chefjinhee was incredibly kind in sharing her table - and her stories - with us.
