    I have my own twist, chopped Bulgogi like at D'alessandro's with a white cheddar kimichi sauce with onion and grilled chopped Shishito peppers on a deli style sub

    Thanks for watching the return of my show, K-town! I had an amazing time eating my way through Philadelphia, making new friends in the Korean community, and tasting some of the best Korean and Korean-inspired food I've ever had. I hope you enjoy!

    Finally tried a version at a sandwich shop. Pleasantly surprised that it was excellent. The key is that the Korean ingredients should be subtle or not be heavy handed. Balance is important

    What is weird is that there is a Koja food truck here in SF that has been around for quite some time now (5+ years?). Wondering if its the same family as they do pretty much the same type of food.

    When exactly did the Korean food craze begin? I remember when I was a Korean kid growing up all the white people thought our food was gross. I distinctly recall my white friends from school making fun of the kimchee in my house. But lately every food channel on youtube has Korean food on it somewhere.

    Agh! that bothers me. You should be able to eat what you want to eat. People creep up on you because what you're eating and they play it like it smells but they secretly want it.

  • @sundarpichai940
    @sundarpichai940 7 років тому +3

    You know, I just don't like that flavor combination. I like the Asian sweet meat thing (teriyaki, bulgogi, Korean short ribs, whatever) and I like savory cheesesteaks, but I don't like the combo. I've tried the teriyaki burritos with the sweet teriyaki glaze on the beef that's then combined with cheese -- it's not good. And the thing is, I love burritos and I love teriyaki. Similarly, I love cheesesteaks and I love bulgogi, but a cheesesteak does not need a sugary sauce.

    • @winstonchiang8666
      @winstonchiang8666 7 років тому

      What about against a sharp cheddar as like a opposite effect. Fruit/Jams sometimes accompany charcuterie boards. /jw

    • @sundarpichai940
      @sundarpichai940 7 років тому

      You know... Ok, I admit, I pair fruit with my cheese plate and just yesterday, I put cherry preserves on my chicken liver pate. Maybe it's that teriyaki and bulgogi are already sweet+savory? I don't know...all I know is that the teriyaki burrito in LA was awful and while I love bulgogi, I just don't like the thought of eating it with cheese. I don't know where I could test this where I live, but I suppose I could go to Subway, order their cheesesteak and have them add their sweet onion teriyaki sauce to it. However, just typing that almost made me gag.

      Greg Boonie Korean food the most unadulterated foods out there. The reason these fusions are popping up is bc most things taste good when you add garlic, soy sauce, fermented sauces, and spicyness to it.

      because koreans knew that you can put anything on a sandwich, tacos, burger. and americans will eat it.
