Good Food: Korean BBQ

Hmm, I feel that this is definitely going to be one of the returning elements in this weblog: food… Contrary to what some may claim, in my opinion America has a really fine food culture. I know, you might argue about the ‘Americanness’ of Korean BBQ. But then again, that is what America is –or at least should be– all about, no? Absorbing cultures, accepting them into the big melting pot while at the same time allowing them to keep their distinct identities?

Anyhow, you can eat very well in the U.S. for relatively little money. Yesterday, Jimmy and I had a fine ‘Korean BBQ’ meal:

In the bottom right corner of the picture you might discern a tool that does not belong on a Korean table. In the top left corner however, I demonstrate how it should be. It took me some effort to convince Jimmy that the meal actually does taste better if eaten with chopsticks. Here is the resulting scoop: Jimmy handling chopsticks!

Pour la Korean BBQ, c'est marrant que tu trouves cette cuisine chouette. Déjà à NYC, c'était le cas. Moi, je la trouve bonne mais pas si exceptionnelle que ça! ;-)
