Honolulu, Day 4: Korean, Cakeworks, Diamond Head, and Grandma's Chicken Curry
I visited Honolulu with Kathy from May 9-16. Yup, that was about a month ago. Only three more days to recap!...which will probably take another month. It's time for YUMMY. To follow up the previous day's plate lunch gorge-a-thon, Kathy...
'Satan's Diarrhea' and a Burger from Song 7.2
This post originally took place on October 19. "You [mumble mumble] bowl of [low growly mumble]," said Greg. "...Huh?" I leaned in to hear more clearly. "You [juughfmumbl] bowl of [ssmmumblrMUMBLAH]!" "...Whaaat." "You just [mmmumbrlr] bowl of [SUUHGUHDDUHHH]!" "...Huuuh what."...
'Surprise, It's Not My Birthday' at Arirang
This entry originally took place on July 22. I'll be in Virginia from today until August 2, which...you probably wouldn't even notice anyway because I have enough trouble trying to update this blog twice a week even when I'm not...
Korean Food Round-Up: Stews and Noodles
There were a few weeks of my life between the end of May and the beginning of June when I kept eating Korea food and I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY, IT WOULD NOT STOP. Let's see how quickly i can...
A Week of Korea Food In Mah Belly, Starting with Arirang and Patbingsu
This entry mostly took place on May 18. ...Yup. Hey, it's..kimchi. The week after I got back from that trip I took to Seoul, you know, way back when (i.e., May), all I wanted was Korean food. You think I...
Kåre Week, Day 7: Banchan and Korean Tofu Stew at BCD
Note: This entry originally took place on October 22. While I tend to plan meals in advance, I hadn't thought of anything for the Wednesday night after my violin lesson. (I'm no Andrew Bird; it's a beginner class for adults...
The Good and the Bad at the Flushing Mall, Plus Mooncakes
The Flushing Mall isn't a dead mall, but it's not exactly bustling. As far as I can tell, most people go there for the food. Or to get wedding portraits taken. Or to learn chess. (The cornerstones of being Asian!)...
Virginia, Day 2: Part 2, with Korean Food and Gelato
KOREAN HOUSE! Few things excite Tristan as much as a trip to his favorite restaurant in Charlottesville, Korean House. Except maybe giving him a jar of kimchi. When you first walk into the restaurant, it doesn't look like much: one...
Post-Fried Chicken: Pizza and Gelato (And Alcohol)
First things first (because first things can't be second, or third, or some higher number): I've been sick for the past three days at home and I am slightly grumpy. And while the sickness is waning to the point that...
Eating (Unidentified Flying) Korean Fried Chicken in Queens
HOLY JEBUS But first, there was Party Glitters. Party Glitters is not just a store—it's an unintentional work of art. You can't miss it...unless you're blind. And even if you're blind, you'll still be able to sense the spastic bright...
Kofoo's Bucket of Cold, Chewy Noodles
Since I work about a 30-second stroll from Korean take-out Kofoo, it's easily the place that I eat at the most in New York City. Not necessarily every week, but sometimes three times in a row. Or more. It depends...
Organic Tofu House: Ridgewood Finally Has Korean Food
Organic Tofu House The first time I ate at Organic Tofu House, there weren't any customers besides my mom and myself. I blamed the lack of tofu-loving diners on the blizzard that had blanketed the streets in a thick blanket...
Korean-Chinese in Flushing: Sam Won Gahk
Sam Won Gahk "So my parents own this restaurant in Flushing..." Whoa, wait a second there, Lauren. I've known you for how long? And you tell me about your Korean-Chinese restaurant empire now? Actually, my first thought was, "Can I...
Eating Soybean Porridge With the Amateur Gourmet
[Intro: Today I welcome The Amateur Gourmet as he stops by on his virtual book tour! Canada isn't over yet—I still have a final entry, which will go up this weekend.] Nothing is more frustrating, more anger-inducing than laboring over...
Toronto: Day 3, Part 2
Street corner We waiting around the corner from the supermarket for my food-crazy flickr friend, Renée. And she appeared! So we could EAT MOOOOAAAR. (I know how to spell "more," but sometimes I say it like "moar." What's the difference?...
Toronto: Day 3, Part 1
Kat reaches for the meeeaat "Oh my god, I love meat." I'm sure that at some point during our lunch, Kat, Anne Marie and I all uttered this sentence in between mouthfuls of thinly sliced marinated beef and rice. storefront...
Too Much Korean Pancake-ness + the Popsicle Reveals Itself
I heart you, banchan From the first time I was presented with a table-ful of banchan, those tasty little dishes of Korean goodies, mostly spicy and vegetarian, I was mystified that I could get a whole meal before actually getting...
Fried Chicken, Gelato, Falafels and Burgers (and Indigestion?)
GIMMEH CHICKEN! About four weeks ago (yes, I know I am very, very behind here) I met up with Jeanne, on vacation from California, and her friend Stephanie to eat at Bon Chon, one of many Korean fried chicken joints...
Lots of random gluttonous bits from the past few weeks in NYC
You probably noticed that I dragged out my entries about my week-long vacation in Paris over a three week period (counting the entries I made in Paris), meaning that there are a few lost weeks of NYC fooding tucked away...
Death by Momofuku
"I don't know how much meat I can eat." I said those words not actually being unaware of how much meat I could fit into my belly—the meat in question being the bo ssam at Momofuku Ssam Bar—but with the...
