May 20, 2021 Jason Hjaltalin is not sure what he's going to do next, but it's bound to be one of two things--gastronomy or astronomy. "I like the stars and cooking," he laughed. One day he would like to open a restaurant. Or study the stars. Maybe both. He's currently enamored with Korean cooking, thanks to his girlfriend and her family, who are from South Korea. "It's not plain old food. They have lots of spicy foods," Jason said, laughing. "I really like the spicy stuff!" Jason was born in Wahkiakum, but when he was young, he moved to the east coast, primarily Maryland and North Carolina.
