Bruworks Coffee: Photo Credit Bruworks Here is my most recent article for Host Milano event about the recent trends in Korean food. Read it here http://host.fieramilano.it/en/after-mers-korean-food-scene-heats The MERS incident has not been kind to Korea. It has affected the tourism industry which has experienced more than 100,000 cancelations and it has hurt local businesses as most people have canceled social excursions. For example the Seoul Grand Park which normal has crowds of 79,000 over a weekend has been only averaging 35,000 (Korea Times: http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2015/06/116_179972.html ). With no new cases in the last 2 weeks, life is beginning to return to normalcy. Restaurants, bars and cafes are hoping that they will be able to recover their business. Nitrogen Coffee Bars and cafes are looking for the next hit coffee drink and many think it is a tall, frosty, milky pint of nitrogen coffee. Startup Bru-works was one of the first to the market, b...

The  Baby Hazel loved it because it was clean, the water was heated and there were lots of fun toys. They put the tube carefully around the neck and it helps her float. She swam for almost 30 minutes. #babyoftheyear #babyhazel #korea  This was over at Yongsan Station's Culture center. I believe it was the 4th floor.  via Instagram http://ift.tt/1PKPcOE

After a long day with the family, the cool and slightly bitter milk coffee ice cream was what I needed. Plus it had a nice little kick of caffeine. For just 3,500 won it was just right. via Instagram http://ift.tt/1MRhnhc

Ok, the meal at Taverna de Portugal was one of the best ones I have had in a very long time. Everything was well prepared and I really like the open kitchen since you could see the chef hard at work. Plus the chef was quite friendly as well. Taverna de Portugal 타버나 드 포르투갈 91-5 Sangsu-dong Mapo-gu, Seoul South Korea Google Map Link via Instagram http://ift.tt/1NQtPw1

One of the best meals I have had in Korea in a long time. Home cooked, authentic and full of flavor. I recommend the Pira Pira Chicken but also everything else is also great. For such a small place, it has quite an extensive menu. If you are looking to get some of the egg tarts though, you have to go early.

The restaurant in Seoul is Amazing. Really well designed with a first class salad bar. They even had manchego cheese, a wide selection of olives, tabouli, spears of asparagus along with the regular salad bar offerings. The meat was top class. Especially the lamb, beef, flank, and Parmesan crusted Pork. All great stuff. Next time I go, I plan on a long leisurely meal instead of a fast lunch. It's located at the express bus terminal next to the JW Marriot. #texasdebrazil #seouleats #meat #picanha #푸드스타그램 #맛스타그램 #맛있어 #좋아요 #냠냠 #데일리 via Instagram http://ift.tt/1MrKpkr

Finally a decent rice roll place in Korea. It's a fast casual concept but stylish and good. It has a California flair with lots of avocado and rolls that are well balanced and not just sopped in sauce. Nice cuts as well. I got a great California roll that was big enough for lunch for 7,000 won. I will be back Snow Fox by Gyodae (Seoul National University of Education Line 2 and 3). It's right outside exit 8.  37°29'34.7"N 127°00'48.3"E https://goo.gl/maps/KB3hWnB8rEo

Super excited since the places in the states are always top notch. Here's a Press Release. They are located at Central City at Express Bus Terminal (Line 3). Now the directions are quite misleading. It is not in Central city but outside along the restaurant strip down from the JW Marriot Hotel.  Sep 10, 2015 06:00 ET Texas de Brazil Opens First Restaurant In Seoul New Location in Central City Marks Brazilian Steakhouse's 40th Restaurant DALLAS, Sept. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Award-winning churrascaria, Texas de Brazil( http://www.texasdebrazil.com ), opens today at Central City in Seoul, South Korea.
