Fine Dining in Seoul Article in the Destination of the World Magazine
Seoul Food Scene in the Destination of the World Magazine Here's an article I wrote for the Destination of the World Magazine. I would like to thank Michelle for this opportunity. From kimchi to barbecue and bibimbap, Korean food is having a moment. We went to Seoul, the hottest new foodie destination, to discover the must-eat establishments The love affair with Korean cuisine has gripped the world – and nowhere more so than Seoul . It’s suddenly in vogue to be a foodie in Korea and they do it with style, passion and excess. Overweight celebrities are now endorsing products with “proud to be fat” routines on comedy shows, much to the country’s amusement. And chefs are stars, too – ironic when you consider that many have spoken publicly about being disowned by their families for pursuing such a “menial” career. It seems every television channel has a food discovery show such as Tasty Road , which has transformed two B-list divas into bona-fide stars. The concept of
I love Korean Markets. Here we have a woman making jokbal and other braised pork dishes such as tail, head and tongue. #koreanfood #markets

Organic, Sustainable, Local Foods in South Korea
In Korea, the food keywords are: organic 유기, local 국산, and sustainable 자속가능성. Organic grocery stores were a novelty a few years ago are now everywhere. Even large department stores have a section dedicated to organic, local, and sustainable foods. Koreans are more curious about the sourcing and the means of production of foods these days. You’ll see more Koreans reading labels at the grocery stores and reading up on brands on the Internet. Koreans will scrutinize what sort of oil is used, if there are artificial flavoring agents and if GMO ingredients are used. Consumers are smarter now and want better ingredients that are produced in a healthy fashion. Just offering “bigger” or adding the moniker “Well-Being” to the label is not enough. There is an emphasis on farms as people want to know the farming practices and there is more pressure on farmers to go pesticide free. Over in Yangpyeong country, local government is supporting farmers by helping them become organic farmers and
Best Places to Eat in Yangpyeon, Cheonan and Andong
If you ask any random Korean and ask them which area or city they think has the best cuisine, you'll receive a myriad of answers. Koreans tend to be nostalgic for their hometowns and say that area has the best food. Even though Korea is a small country. Its relative size is that of Indiana in the United States or of Great Britain, the country has a diverse food culture. And it doesn’t apply just to the south. I have interviewed North Korean Refugees and when I ask them if there is anything they miss from the North, they often say the food. Regional food specialties are one of the reasons to travel. If you go to a place of prominence let’s say to Gyeongju, Jeonju, or Jeju Island, your friends and family will expect snacks from that area to commemorate the journey. For business trips, you’ll often have to get snacks for colleagues. Now if you do go to an area and you don’t eat at the famous restaurant of the area, your friends and colleagues might think you were foolish for wasting t
Awesome Serbian Food at Belgrade Restaurant in Itaewon
Belgrade Restaurant Seoul Photo by Belgrade Restaurant Belgrade Restaurant Seoul Photo by Belgrade Restaurant Belgrade Restaurant Seoul Photo by Belgrade Restaurant Belgrade Restaurant Seoul Photo by Belgrade Restaurant photo by Drew Binsky Last night I was lucky to have been invited to Belgrade Restaurant. It's located just up the hill from the old O Kitchen (which is now some terrible chicken restaurant...wtf). I went there with the famous Drew of The Hungry Partier who was kind enough to send me the picture above. The restaurant is quaint and has a European feel to it. The mood is perfect for a date for it is quiet and intimate. This place kinda reminded me of going to the Bulgarian Restaurant Zelen. I mean in the feel, the flavor and the menu in a way. The menu consists of great Serbian dishes but if you want it all (like I do) I would recommend that you get the meat platter. This is a huge meat fest that is loaded with amazing meats, salad, and fre

Lazy Cat at Gangnam Station
This cat cafe promotion guy was perfectly in character as a nonchalant, ennui-filled lazy cat so I had to give him props. Look how he just points in the general direction of the cafe. #props #lazycat #gangnamstyle via Instagram http://ift.tt/1LbkcTo
Lunch: Do the Jajang.
Korean Chinese takeout is the best because you can have it all. I love the half half bowls and the sides. Of course you need to get the jajangmyeon and jamppong with it. #chinesefood #seouleats #korea via Instagram http://ift.tt/1iVMsCU

Chef Marco Sacco's Chilean Pork Belly with Italian black truffles and Korean Songi mushrooms.
Chef Marco Sacco's Chilean Pork Belly with Italian black truffles and Korean Songi mushrooms. Wow. Another amazing dish the pork fat was soft and savory and was the perfect vessel for the mushrooms. Chef Marco said he marinated the pork belly in herbs like rosemary and tomato for 24 hours and then quickly grilled it. I had thought he must have sous vide it since it was mindblowingly tender. Wow. Such skill. #lottehotel via Instagram http://ift.tt/1QqwrCv
Chef Marco Sacco's Carbonara Pasta at the Lotte Hotel
Chef Marco Sacco's Carbonara Pasta at the Lotte Hotel is a dish that will haunt me for no other iterations will ever match up. The noodles are slightly dry yet adente with a dried Prosciutto and milk crisp. The egg béchamel was light and frothy like a cappuccino yet airy like meringue. It was a perfect course. Delight.
