Seoul Eats Reboot. Ok. After some work done on the speed and new settings, I am getting back to blogging. I will use this blog to write about restaurant restaurant reviews and activities guests can travel to in Korea. I will integrate maps into the blog better so you can find the locations and readers can write their own reviews for restaurants. This is the Beta version and in the next couple of weeks a new, faster directory version of Seoul Eats is coming. Keep your eye out for it. I am integrating tumblr into my posts as well so you can see what and where I am eating as I go on my travels. I will work hard on making this a better resource for my readers. Thank you so much for your patience. Dan (at Ongo Food Communications)
I am working on a project to bring in a top food photography blogger to South Korea for a Korea Food Exploration program. We’ll be matching that blogger with a high profile chef to explore and eat Korea. The blogger should get over 100,000 hits a month and have good photos. Who would you recommend?
