LUNCH IN SEOUL - SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA

LUNCH IN SEOUL

SOMEWHERE IN SOUTH KOREA

We had a guide on this day in Seoul. Cruised the city and subway system with him and then he brought us to this local spot for lunch. There was a line to get in when we arrived and the place seemed to fill to capacity in just minutes. Everyone was Korean here and local. We were the only tourists in the spot and there was not even a menu. Our large table was completely empty and in minutes another complete table top filled with food was set on top of it. There you go all these dishes served in a minute with no waiters needed to run plates to the table. When we were done, the removed the table top and the table was ready for new customers, Absolute brilliance. For the food, it was good. Some things I liked more than others. The raw crab was different and I loved some of the Kimchee dishes.

BEST DRIVE IN KOREAN BAR-B-Q

BEST DRIVE IN KOREAN BAR-B-Q

HONOLULU, HAWAII (SAND ISLAND)

I love Korean BBQ. If I were twenty pounds lighter, I would probably eat at them more often. For around $8.50 you get two meat selections plus your choice of four vegetables or starch and always two scoops of rice. Best Drive Inn on Sand Island Access Road serves up one of the best plates in town. On this visit I went for the Spicy Pork and Kal Bi Rib combo with Bean Sprouts, Corn, Kim Chee and a spicy turnip type vegetable. At Best you order your plate at the counter and then move to the left and choose your side dishes. There are over a dozen choices of different vegetables and potatoes. I love the Spicy Pork here. Thin slices of pork soaked in a red blanket of slightly hot spices. The Kal Bi Ribs are also delicious with a sweet smokey flavor. On this visit we hosted some mainland business folks who have never eaten Korean BBQ. Both devoured everything on their plate and said it was great. Think they wanted to take a nap after finishing.
