CUCCIOLO OSTERIA COMES TO DURHAM Drew Jackson for Triangle Today Few things connect time and space better than food, but hold on tight, the latest downtown Durham restaurant may give you jet lag. Cousins Jimmy and Julian Kim from South Korea will open Cucciolo Osteria this summer, a restaurant devoted to their childhood comfort food of Italian cuisine. It’s the fifth Italian restaurant from a restaurant group
born in Seoul, a concept so trans-hemispheric it practically has frequent flyer miles. The Kim cousins each lived in Europe for a decade while growing up. Jimmy Kim said Italian food, especially pastas, were a childhood favorite. Later, they each became restaurateurs on opposite sides of the globe. Jimmy Kim, who went to Duke University for undergraduate studies and business school, opened the Mixed Korean Bistro and food truck. Julian Kim
