Chef Melissa King is one of the most exciting talents in America's culinary scene — with a unique cooking style that combines the Bay Area's best ingredients with modern techniques and Asian flavors. King visits Google to share her thoughts on current events, the importance of her visibility as a queer Asian woman in the culinary industry, and meals to make.
Chef King recently won Bravo's Top Chef All Stars: Los Angeles Season 17 and was also the winner of All Star's Fan Favorite. She previously placed as a finalist on Top Chef: Boston Season 12. As a proud Asian-American, queer woman, King has a passion for supporting the community — working with non-profit organizations and LGBTQ+ charities such as The Human Rights Campaign, The Trevor Project, Black Visions Collective, Asian Americans For Equality and more. She was honored as a Celebrity Grand Marshal for San Francisco Pride and has modeled for Levi's Strauss Co. in a global campaign advocating for the LGBTQ+ community.
