This time our Korean Food Fan is Tiani Haney from California!
I met Tiani and her korean mother-in-law recently at my LA meetup. In fact, the first time she ever had Korean food was at her mother-in-law’s house, when she was 10 years old. Now they are family, and when I met then I could see their strong bond and affection for each other. She called her mother-in-law umma (“mom” in Korean), and both of them looked so proud of the other!
