Three-Michelin-Starred Chef Corey Lee’s Favorite San Francisco Restaurants
Meet one of the best chefs in the country
The Relisher is the place where the world’s top chefs reveal their favorite spots in their home cities. This week, we met with Chef Corey Lee, of three-Michelin-starred Benu in San Francisco.
With a career spanning over 25 years, Chef Corey has worked at some of the most prestigious restaurants globally, including as the head chef at Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry, where his exceptional work earned him a James Beard Award. Lee opened Benu in 2010 and by 2014, it became the first restaurant in San Francisco to receive a three-star rating. Today, it remains one of only six three-Michelin-starred restaurants in California.
