restaurant chef 

Tomas Lee is a well-seasoned executive chef, having cooked for one of the top Atlanta area restaurant groups, Buckhead Life, from 1990 to 2002.  From there, Tomas was the proprietor and head chef at his own spot in Norcross, GA, a close suburb of Atlanta, appropriately named “Tomas”.  He provided locals with French-American cuisine inspired from his early work with top chefs in New York while going to school at The Culinary Institute of America.

Eager to incorporate his own Korean-American heritage, Tomas sought to bring the taco truck craze to the East Coast by opening Hankook Taqueria on Atlanta’s West side near the Georgia Tech campus. Since Hankook's opening two more locations sporting the same delicious flavors have been created, one in Midtown Atlanta and the other in Dunwoody. Combining traditional Korean meats and spices with the easy-to-eat style of Mexican tacos and burritos, visitors find the fusion unique and extremely tasty.
