Born in Hong Kong, but raised in McHenry, Illinois, Pastry Chef Kady Yon was studying International Studies and Law at the University of Iowa when she decided to pursue a career in pastry. She had been given a copy of a Charlie Trotter cookbook and was floored. Without any formal training, Yon instinctively decided to pursue her passion for food and secured a position working with Chef Bill Kim at Le Lan.
She also spent a brief stint at The Four Seasons. Soon though, Yon decided to focus on desserts at Charlie Trotters. After first working under the restaurants long-time pastry chef Della Gossett, Yon went on to become the pastry chef of this award-winning restaurant. In 2010, Yon joined the Boka Restaurant Group as Bokas pastry chef.
Yon became the Executive Pastry Chef of the Public Chicago Hotel in 2011. Her desserts showcase an impressive restraint and a focus on clean flavors and presentation.
