LAGUNA’S CULINARY MASTERS: MICHAEL KANG, Owner/Executive Chef, Five Feet Restaurant Born in Taiwan and raised in Corona del Mar, Calif., Five Feet Restaurant’s Owner/Executive Chef Michael Kang blends Mediterranean-European cuisine and traditional Chinese fare to create such masterful dishes as Crispy Jasmine Tea Smoked Prime Filet Mignon with Hoisin Foie Gras Sauce and Soy Cured Toro with Stilton. After graduating from the Institute of Architecture and practicing briefly as an architect, Kang realized his real dream and true talent lie in the culinary arts and, in 1985, opened Five Feet to honor foods and tastes of his native land. Kang has been honored by the James Beard Foundation four times, and as one of the originators of The Orange Aid Kitchen, which is dedicated to providing emergency food and financial aid to the impoverished, he has raised more than $1 million for the foundation. parking.
