Night Dining Tour O'ngo Food Communications We got a very special request for a tour last month when the president, the head, the big cheese of KTO, Lee Cham came on our night dining tour. Mr. Lee came with his entourage and joined a group of other hungry and thirsty travelers on our highly ranked Night Dining Tour.   Mr. Cham was a perfect guest and he had infinite knowledge to share with the other guests on the tour. He speaks like a person that truly loves Korea. I learned a lot about his personal story on how he came to Korea and later became a celebrity on Korean TV. Lee Cham at a Makgeolli Bar Lee Cham with Cham Soju Besides his personal life, Mr. Lee is a foodie. He loved all of the different locations that we went to and he had stories to tell about the ingredients, cooking techniques, and about his favorite chefs and restaurants.

LSG Sky Chefs in Korea Today has been an excellent day for me and our company. We have had the pleasure of doing cooking classes and culinary tours for the LSG Skychefs. These are the chefs responsible for many of the inflight meals on major airlines such as Delta, Korea Air, Asiana, Northwest, and Lufthensia. They are in Korea for their Culinary Excellence Workshop. They are learning about Korean Food at the source. Hopefully, they will take these influences and incorporate them into their own cuisine. Yesterday we had a cooking class in order to make 20 different dishes with Professor Jia Choi. This morning we went to the fish market to taste most of the sea. This included skate, live octopus, a variety of raw fish, jellyfish salad, king crab, sea worm, and a variety of shellfish. Then we were odd to Hansung Kimchi factory. We saw the whole operation there. We are now off to our famous Night Dining Tour. It has been a great day. Dan LSG Skychefs in Korea LSG Skychefs in ...

Dear Seoul Eats Readers, Thank you for messaging me and telling me that I need to do a meet-up soon. I'm sorry, but a lot of my time and energy has been going towards the cooking classes and food tours that I have been running on behalf of my company, O'ngo Food Communications. But, I can't forget about all the people who have read and have been supporting what I've been doing. Thank you so much for reading and getting involved. I'm so happy that there is such an epicurious community in Seoul. Our last couple cooking classes for pasta making and for temple cuisine were a big hit and we will be doing them again. Also, in June we'll have a brunch class, a healthy foods class, a beer making class, and a wine tasting class. I'll let you know more details soon. Here is our schedule for our cooking classes and tours can be found on our calendar page here. We have to have a minimum of 4 people to do our classes. Menus can be changed to fit what you would ...

The Korean Night Dining Tours have been doing quite well. In the last week, I've taken chefs and tourists around some of Seoul's funnest night spots. Last Night I was lucky enough to meet Diana and her crew as we ate the night away. Last night's tour was a tad different because they really wanted to eat live octopus. It was a great night. I'll be doing this tour again this Sunday at 6pm and we have 2 slots open. If you would like to join us, please send me an e-mail at seouleats at gmail.com More information on the tour can be found here: http://www.seouleats.com/p/korean-taste-tours-and-korean-cooking.html Next week, I'll be doing the tour on Friday May 7th, Saturday May 8th, and Sunday May 9th.

The first tour on Friday Night is almost sold out. If you would like to come to the Friday one, please hurry. If you would like to come this weekend, we are going to do a second one on Saturday Night at 7pm. Thanks, Dan No visit to Korea would be complete without experiencing the kinetic nightlife scene. Since many visitors will be just arriving, this is the best way to overcome jet lag. Our tour will introduce visitors to Korea's exciting drinking culture and some of the best night time dining areas in Korea. The tour will explore the Jongno 3-ga area, which used to be the busiest area of Seoul. This area has not been gentrified like other parts of Seoul and has a thriving nightlife and exciting underground scene. Here you'll see the real Korea. These tours will run every Friday Night as long as there is at least 4 people interested in participating. The tour will start with a visit to a visit to a Korean Drinking Tent (Pojangmacha).
