Bun Cheam and Cait Callahan from Red Hook Tavern are starting Hōp, a Cambodian restaurant, with a diverse menu that includes breakfast dishes and street food. Their venture is supported by Billy Durney’s hospitality group. Hōp aims to contribute to the rising visibility of Cambodian cuisine in New York, now alongside a few other establishments. Durney supports but steps back from operations, emphasizing Cheam’s culinary talent and the personal significance of this endeavor for the couple.
"Bun is one of the best chefs I've ever worked with - and it so extraordinary to see this couple live out their dreams; there is no chef I'm more proud to call family and a friend."
"We are funding the restaurant but we are staying way out of it; I'm guiding them if something goes off course, but this is their restaurant, down to how it's run and designed."
