Angie & Daniel Kim

The menu at Interstellar defies easy definition. While spouses and partners Angie and Daniel Kim are influenced by their Korean-American roots, they seek to offer dishes that aren’t locked into a singular cuisine, embracing the concept of America as a cultural melting pot and fusing flavors and ingredients from a truly global pantry. Their Honey Butter Toast offers a great example. A new dessert that showcases a local bakery’s Japanese milk bread, it boasts a “cult favorite” reputation.

“The foundation of this delectable treat is the remarkable Ginza Nishikawa milk bread,” says Angie Kim, Chef. “With great care, we spread our house-made honey-maple butter onto each slice and toast it to perfection, aiming for a harmonious blend of flavors.” Served with market berries and a house-made gelato (flavors rotate between vanilla, matcha and ube), the dish features a medley of textures, along with sweet and subtle savory notes. “The exceptional softness of the milk bread allows it to absorb the butter beautifully, providing an explosion of flavors with each bite,” she says. “It’s quickly become a favorite among our customers.”
