Chimmelier

Chimmelier, founded in May 2021, embarked on its culinary journey in the parking lot of Hanchic restaurant with a mission: to introduce the delectable world of Korean fried chicken (and other Korean street food) to the diverse culinary landscape of Los Angeles. While LA was no stranger to Nashville-style chicken, Korean fried chicken had either been confined to big chain brands from Korea or small, family-owned eateries. Chimmelier set out to change this narrative by offering their unique and authentic take on this Korean delicacy. But they aspired to be more than just a fried chicken shop; they sought to be cultural ambassadors, aiming to share the rich tapestry of their heritage with the city. Their vision extends beyond food, encompassing a commitment to collaborating with a variety of artists to create a brand that not only represents their flavorful cuisine but also the vibrant and artistic aspects of Korean culture.

Chimmelier USA has been featured at many major events such as Coachella, Sony, Red Bull, Head in the Clouds, Complexcon, and more!, In just three years, Chimmelier has grown from a parking lot pop-up, to a booth at the world-renowned Smorgusburg in L.A. and two brick-and-mortar storefronts., Chimmelier has amassed a whopping 17.5K followers on Instagram, boasts a 4.5 star rating on Google, Yelp, and Doordash, and has become a popular stop for food influencers all over L.A.
