Shirley Chung Has A Chef Brother But Its Not Jet Tila

Shirley Chung chef brother Brian Huskey recently opened his new restaurant The Jetty Beach Eats and Drinks. They are only related through food.

Brian Huskey was born to a Korean mother and an American father. His parents met each other when his father was posted in Korea with U.S Marines. He is one of three sons among his parents.

Thinking he would do some white-collar work, he studied Bachelor of Science in Economics from the University of California, Los Angeles.

As a result of his passion for food, he joined California Culinary Academy. 

After graduating from California Culinary Academy, he worked for Rosewood Hotels & Resorts as Chef de Partie. 

Later he was called to be the Sous Chef for Patina Restaurant, where he worked for more than two years. 

Initially, he was reluctant but gave in and applied for the show. There he met many amazing chefs, and that is also where he met Shirley Chung.

Being fed with working for others, he opened a new restaurant called Tackle Box. Huskey made chef Chung his guinea pig for his recipe but she did find the taste very delightful. 

The two developed a close bond leading to Shirley denoting Brian as her chef brother.

Currently, he has opened a new eatery called The Jetty Beach Eats and Drinks. He is married and has a daughter named Lola.

Are Jet Tila and Shirley Chung Related?

No, Jet Tila and Shirley Chung are not related. Chung comes from China, while Tila's family comes from Thailand. 

Jet is a star chef known for his culinary skills and his anthropology work. He is also one of the star chefs for the Food Network Channel and the author of his cookbooks. 

Tila was born as the son of a restaurant owner. So from a young age, he had the opportunity to work and know of Asian cuisine.

His grandmother was a big inspiration for him in being a cook. 

Inspired by his family, he completed his culinary education at Le Cordon Bleu. Since his family's restaurant had a mixture of Thai and Chinese food, he gravitated toward them and represented his community through cooking. 

He was appointed and given the ceremonial title of culinary ambassador for Thailand by the Royal Thai Consulate-General in Los Angeles.
