  • One of the most unique parts of a Korean community is its bakeries, which focus on a specific style of baking. Rooted in Japanese and European tradition, Koreans have taken their love of baked goods to new heights, incorporating classic ingredients like red bean, chestnut, and buttercream. In this episode of K-Town, host Matthew Kang ventures to a spot called White Windmill, a local chain with a number of locations spread around Atlanta.
    Eater is the one-stop-shop for food and restaurant obsessives across the country. With features, explainers, animations, recipes, and more - it’s the most indulgent food content around. So get hungry.

      You know in some traditions when food is good you pay full price but not over the price for the items, its like a sign of respect that you appreciate their food modestly and humbly to not low ball or high ball their food and what they feel the cost of the item should be from the labor they put

    I just love the Korean style white bread. You can find it at any Korean bakery/cafe. It's sliced thick and has a chewy texture. The only way I eat it is with peanut butter and jelly. I just lightly toast the bread, slap some PB&J and done.

    The thing about this host is that he knows about the food, the culture behind it, and he is actually passion about what he does. I really look forward to see him hosting other cuisines other than Koreans. From there, he will become one of the best host at Eater. Right now, Lucas is on the lead without a doubt. I just hope that Eater will stay real with food rather than popularizing bs ideology lol.

    This isn't totally Korean, this is Asian. You can find a baked bun culture in any of the Asian countries that followed the West after The War. We got this in Hong Kong and Macau and these baked goods are hands the most notable thing that you couldn't find in Mainland China until 10 years ago. They are the definition of fusion and a common, accepted, successful one at that, to the point that we don't even think about it anymore.

    Koreans love cafes because we love to talk and socialize. Whether its with friends, co-workers, dates, study, family, etc. We really don't care where things originated. Japan, France, America, Prussia, Iran, Whatever!
    Guess what hotdogs and hamburgers originated from Germany. Pizza is obviously from Italy. Fries are not American, not even Italian, they are from Belgium. But who cares. America makes amazing burgers all around.
    Not hating on America, just a good example. Thank America for BBQ and Fried Chicken, but people need to stop with all the hypocritical comments.

    Korean pastries are heavily influenced from Japanese pastries. Actually many Korean bakers go to Japan to learn that. Then many Koreans believe those are Korean's original.

    • @elmoelmoelmo
      @elmoelmoelmo 7 років тому +1

      EXPOSE THEM!

    • @acatinny
      @acatinny 7 років тому +5

      Japanese pasties certainly got French and other influence, but Japanese added lots of their own ideas to them as well. Just like Ramen got the Chinese origin, but it has become a very different dish as Japanese added lots of different/original elements to it. On the other hand, these Korean pastries look very similar to Japanese ones and many of them are exact copies, at least that is how they look to me since I have seen those at Paris baguette, which is the very famous Korean pastry chain store, and other Korean stores in NYC. Of course they got European influences because Japanese ones already got ones, but it is not like Korean has created something very different with Japanese and European influence. Why don't you visit Japan and Korea to see with your own eyes and compare those two? Or at least at legit Japanese and Korean Pastry stores if they are available in your area.

    • @acatinny
      @acatinny 7 років тому

      welkinz2 I agree with you, and I would comment if I see someone introduces Yakiniku as the Japanese original on Eater.

    • @acatinny
      @acatinny 7 років тому

      welkinz2 Then what else other than Yakiniku? I see far more things in Korean culture, which obviously got a strong influence from Japanese culture. Even in this Korean series in Eater, I heard many of something Japanese were mentioned. There is nothing wrong someone imitate other's culture to enjoy. Certainly Japanese imitate so many Western cultures as well. However, you better not introduce that to others as your original unless you have added something significantly new and original to it.

    I hope the host will stop saying "koreans love _____. I don't know why". If he doesn't know why, he should study and tell us why. If he just says that, it makes koreans look like weirdos who like weird stuff.
