Our sponsors, Suji's has a new wine special at their Itaewon Branch. It is Rapaura Springs wine from New Zealand. The wines are very good and excellently priced. Seriously, to get a good New Zealand White Wine for this price is outstanding. The wine is excellent as well. The Pinot Gris is bright, a tad silvery, and sharp. My favorite is the Sauvignon Blanc which is citrousy with a nice bouquet. I haven't had the Pinot Noir yet. I recommend you go check them out with some of Suji's great food. In celebration of their wine celebration promotion. Suji's is giving away 2 sandwich gift certificates to the readers of Seoul Eats. To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment after this post about an experience you had at Suji's (hopefully good, but if you had a bad experience let them know so they can improve). I would like to thank Suji's Restaurant for supporting Seoul Eats.  Dan Come take a cooking class or take a Culinary Tour in Seoul! http://w...

Korean Food Blogging Contest from Simon and Martina Stawski on Vimeo . Hi everyone! KoreaTaste’s Spring 2011 Korean Food Blogging Contest is underway. The good people at KTO have asked me to help let everyone know about the contest and get people participating. Simon of Eatyourkimchi and I worked on the fall contest and it was pretty successful. We had 150 bloggers join and they contributed over 400 posts. I got to meet the top prize winner, Mr. Michael Limbo of Planet Cerritos  Blog and it was great to show him the great eats of Korea. Above is the last year's video that Simon made for the contest. (Sorry, we didn't have time to update it) The 2nd and 3rd prizes are different, but the rules are the same. Like last time, to win, a good portion of determining the winning entry is based on the votes, so these are some buttons and banners you can put on your site to get your readers to vote for your entry. Below each image you’ll see the code for the image. Just copy it...
