In 2018, Anastacia assumed the role of Executive Chef at LDV Hospitality’s American Cut. During the following two years, she discovered her passion for leadership and a well-prepared steak. Subsequently, in 2016, Anastacia returned to New York City and joined the team at Martha in Fort Greene, then moved on to Treehaus in Midtown Manhattan. Afterward, she served as the Chef de Cuisine at Porta in Jersey City for a duration of two years. It was during her time at Commerce, learning from Chef Harold Moore, that Anastacia realized her true calling was in the kitchen, rather than in an operating room, leading her to embark on a career in bartending. Hailing from New York, Anastacia has dedicated a significant portion of her adult life to the hospitality industry, following her attendance at medical school. Guests are warmly invited to savor distinctive cocktails and a delectable assortment of dishes from Executive Chef Anastacia Song’s thoughtfully curated menu.

In the approaching summer, she will introduce fresh, bite-sized dishes to Life Rooftop. The combination of both cultures resulted in a remarkable song performed by her at Kumi at Le Méridien, where she led the culinary team and blended contemporary Japanese and Korean American cuisines. Disruptive Restaurant Group (DRG) recruited Chef Song in 2021.
