Having a Cuban sandwich with tomato soup at Cuba Kings. Soup is great. Has some toasted rice on top and it is nicely spiced with decent body. The sandwich would have been great if it was freshly toasted instead of premade and briefly heated. Meh. #cuban #koreanfood #seouleats A photo posted by Seoul Eats By Yoonie and Danny (@seouleats) on Nov 25, 2016 at 7:09pm PST The sandwich would have been great if they made it fresh. The tomato soup was wonderful and I loved the toasted rice bits in it. Not bad. Not Bad. Dan

As a new father with a quickly growing daughter, I had learned to adapt quickly in order to feed my little spawn. She has gone through the milk phase and then just rice phase and now she wants flavor. Well...flavor with some compromises. I have to get nutrients into my little girl while also making food fun. After all, I do have a reputation to uphold.  Feeding a baby is a fun challenge. Of course my little carrot would love to eat ice cream all day. Seriously. She loves soft serve ice cream, it is not very nutritious and I don't want her consuming so much sugar. She would also love strawberries all the time but at 20,000 won per container its not a viable snack.  My little meatball does love tofu but tofu is a tad salty. She also likes eggs, spinach and noodles. Actually, she likes a lot of food but they must be in a fun form factor for her to enjoy them.  Take carrots. She could take them or leave them. I could boil them and mash them but that doesn'

For the last year I have been involved in a startup called iFood Korea in which I work with my foodie friends. Our goal was to created a curated food community by industry professionals. We have been supporting the chef's community by asking the restaurants they like and then sending our teams to make content about it. I will be sharing some of the content here as well. I hope you will go out and enjoy eating at the different places the chefs recommend.  Content created by @marketsqkr on instagram "You can have both lots of clams and handmade chewy noodle in Kalguksu.

Life has been busy these days because I am a dad. The only person that gets a hot meal in my house is my daughter. It's all good though since she is so cute.

Somehow I have owned a bar for nearly 4 years now and we haven't closed. It's some sort of accomplishment in a way. It's not an easy accomplishment and over the years we have gathered up a group of regulars that are friendly with each other. I guess it is a sort of dependency in a way. It's kind of like trying to throw a party every night but you don't know who will show. I think they originally came for the beer but now they come for the company. When a bar becomes your bar, you become bold, comfortable and a bit real. Sometimes the real has exploded into fights and arguments. Generally that's not always the case. I always worry about the bar since anything can happen. Luckily it hasn't been anything serious. Anyway... let's see if we can keep it going a few more years.

I was with friends yesterday and had some amazing fried chicken by Hyewha. I will find out the name if you comment or follow instagram @marketsqkr to find out soon. Here is the info seouleats Content created by  @marketsqkr "The chicken was marinated before frying so it was much tastier and very tender. It was served with satisfyingly thick potato wedges. Nice."

Go buy some pepero and give them someone you love.

So, like many others in the world, I was shocked to hear that Trump was elected. I drank with some friends a tad too much talking about he state of the world and about the state of America. I think that Trump being elected is a wake up call to the media and the world: people want change or... people don't care. 46.9% of eligible voters did not vote. 25.6 voted for Clinton and 25.5% voted for Trump. We can blame the electoral college but come on... nearly half of the people said they don't care. Maybe they are optimistic like I will be. I kinda blame myself. I didn't rally others to my cause nor use Facebook as my pallet. I just sat back and watched the circus. Imagine how many billions of dollars of resources and time were wasted on this election? It's all a mess. The system is broken, this guy says he can fix it. I can only pray for the best. As an American overseas, I can just live my way as an immigrant and hope the actions of a country across the sea w

My favorite apple computer I have ever had was my first. It was a 12inch white iBook. It was small, portable and fast. That was 12 years ago. Since then I have had several apple laptops and imacs. My last apple was a Macbook pro I bought in 2009. I am waiting to upgrade but I don't know which one to get. I am actually interested in getting the last generation Macbook pro or even the last generation Macbook air. I still like the idea of ports.  However, some new research about the new skylake processors may make me go for the new macbooks.  http://www.airfuel.org/technologies/inductive Skylake processors might allow wireless charging. Also I think the extra large trackpad might be there so it can be used with a pencil input.  I had the iPad pro and pencil and I liked the pencil. I didn't like anything else about the tablet but I did like the pencil.  I think Apple is still working on improvements but won't reveal them until they are ready unlike some o
