A Big Pot of Steamed Shellfish in Seoul, Korea

Steamed Shellfish at Gol Mok Gil in Seoul, Korea My buddy Sean Choi from Groove Magazine is a Foodie's Foodie.

Potato and Pork Bone Stew

Yummmm...Check out the video. Dan The place is called Seobu Gamja-guk (서부감자국) 서울시 은평구 녹번동 181 02 356-4555 It's up by Yeonsinnae all the way up on the Orange line. Here's a map: View Larger Map
