The person behind the pleats

A chef. A comic.
A people person.

David Jin makes dumplings and tells jokes. Both are his way of making people feel a little more at home.

Hi, I’m David.

It all starts
in the kitchen.

Growing up, David’s Grandma Jin and Grandpa made dumplings for the family. Each one carried a little care, and every shared meal gave everyone a reason to gather.

That’s the spirit behind Dumpling Diplomacy: handmade dumplings, shared generously. And it’s the spirit behind Lil Dumplings Comedy, where David brings his food and his love of stand-up to a New York audience.

One project fills a plate. The other fills a room with laughter. They have the same purpose: bringing people together.
