Some 200 people from politics, business and entertainment are expected at the White House on Wednesday evening for a fancy black-tie dinner hosted by President Joe Biden to honor South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and his country`s 70-year alliance with the United States. Guests will be seated in the East Room, the largest in the executive mansion, at tables topped with towering centerpieces of cherry tree boughs in full bloom.
They will dine on crabcakes, beef ribs and banana splits. First lady Jill Biden, who oversaw planning for what will be the administration`s second state dinner, recruited Korean American celebrity chef Edward Lee to whip up a menu showcasing the "best of America" " but with Korean touches. Lee is known for putting a Korean twist on American food. "It`s not traditional Korean food but just gives you a little hint of Korean flavors," he said this week as the White House previewed the dinner setup. The crabcake appetizer comes with a slaw of cabbage, kohlrabi, fennel and cucumber topped with a vinaigrette made using gochujang, a red chili paste and a bowl of chilled yellow squash soup. The braised beef short ribs, the main course, are topped with sorghum-glazed carrots and served on a dollop of grits made from butter beans instead of corn.
