Let’s Eat! Andong: A Satisfying Food Tour
When I learned about Andong’s dedication to carefully preserve Korea’s traditional way of life, I knew I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to experience it with Gastro Seoul’s food tour! What makes this trip extra special is the chance to meet the families that have committed to Korea’s heritage and traditional way of life. Usually the noblemen and noblewomen in Andong lead private and secluded lives. Only in recent years have they begun to open their homes to the public and offer a unique look into Korean culture. Day One One of the things I learned was how much work goes into side dishes. When these yummy morsels appear at…

Seoul Searching the Best Cafes in Seoul
One of the things I love about living in Korea are the beautiful cafes. Every time I visit Seoul, I try to find a one or two cafes I have heard about. Occasionally I come across one by pure accident. I don’t even mind going alone because I like the way a cafe can recharge you and make you feel human again. Besides giving me a place to collect my thoughts, I love the way they add character to the neighborhoods they are in. While there is an abundance of cafes in Seoul, I did find a few places underwhelming with their over overpriced drinks and overly hyped marketing. Happily, I…

A Culinary Journey into the Heart of Paris!

Yet I find it is a an act of pleasure when I give in to the act as a mediation in motion that offers my senses a bit of enjoyment around every corner that surprises me.

If you will allow it, Paris will entice you on a culinary journey… and like two lovers trying to…

Seoul Searching in Frankfurt
Tracking my friend’s fight into Frankfurt, I knew my self-acclaimed vegetarian friend was miserable. What better way to erase the bad memories of several delays and a tray of glop, then to welcome her with one of her favorite dishes? Whisking her away from the airport we attempted to drive downtown to find a healthy Korean joint I had heard about. At first we had trouble finding parking until we realized we were near The English Theatre and the Oper Frankfurt. I had heard it was small and it was best to order for pickup, but we decided it was worth it to wait for a seat. Basically we came to SeoulFood for…

European Seoul Searching
One of the things I did when I first came to Germany was look for a good Asian restaurant and grocery store. I will take almost anything resembling Asian if it is good, and in some cases when I’m truly desperate, but what my heart wants most is the comfort of authentic Korean food! If you think I’m crazy for expecting Korean food in Germany, then you really don’t the range of diversity that is in Europe! Which is why you will find that it is not hard to find an Asian or Korean dish offered in most places. However after two years I was beginning to think I would never find a place…
