Executive Chef: New York native Anastacia Song has worked in the hospitality industry for the better part of her adult life after attending medical school and realizing her heart was in the kitchen and not in the operating room.

In 2021, Chef Song was hired by Disruptive Restaurant Group (DRG) to helm the kitchen at Kumi at Le Meridien where she harmonized modern Japanese and Korean American cuisines all in one unforgettable ballad to both cultures and now she’ll bring new small plate creations to Life Rooftop this year.
