Craft Beer and Pizza in Seoul

Bonny’s Pizza Pub

I grew up thinking that pizza only came in the form of Domino’s or Pizza Hut delivery, and it wasn’t until I discovered Shakey’s Pizza (Mojo potatoes anyone???) when I was a young child that I realized that it came in many different shapes and forms. I’ve learned to love pizza and the different types and styles that people make of it. Bonny’s Pizza Pub in Haebangchon is a relatively new pizza joint that also has self-serve craft bottles of beer. I’ve visited a couple of times, and both times was left satisfied. Although it’s not italian style, or New York Style pizza in Seoul, it’s a good pizza that has become a favorite places to eat in Itaewon. Continue reading »

Boiling Crab in Seoul

Blue Crab

I still remember the first time I went to eat cajun style seafood in Southern California, it was at Boiling Crab in Garden Grove, the Euclid location. Having your fingers smell of garlic, seafood, and spices after you’ve licked them clean is quite a wonderful feeling. The closest place to boiling crab in Seoul that I’ve been able to find is Blue Crab in Itaewon, a good places to eat in Korea. Continue reading »

In N Out in Seoul (Redux)

In-N-Out is promoting their brand once again in Seoul. This pop up location will be happening today from 11am – 3pm at Touch & Spice in Garosu-gil. In-N-Out in Seoul will be packed!!! If you’re thinking about trying to get your fill, you’re probably already too late. Last year they sold out in ~15mins. Limited quantities, so if you’re looking for that Double-Double Animal Style Burger in Seoul, good luck.

In-N-Out does these pop-ups to promote their brand. It is very very very unlikely that they will be opening up outside of the Western/Southern coast of the United States. Although many people complain about these promotions being a tease, I personally like them, and think it’s a great opportunity for people who may never have a chance to get them in the States to experience their delicious burgers in Seoul.

If you’re able to pick up a burger, do share on Twitter, FB, or Instagram @seoulgrub!

Itaewon Festival 2012

Seoul is definitely a great place for all things new and cool. With the inception of Psy taking over the globe with his “Gangnam Style” phenomenon, the cultural relevance and imprint that Korea is making has been intriguing to say the least. I believe that Korea, specifically Seoul, will continue to thrive in many ways. The Itaewon Festival is going on this weekend and it will be jam packed with food, trinkets to shop for, shows, and just a good time. If you want to eat some good food in Seoul, check out the festival as there are dozens upon dozens of different cuisines you can sample from various nations. The Itaewon Global Village Festival celebrates the cultural diversity that is found in Korea, and the main street of this “expat” neighborhood is closed off for this celebration.

It was interesting to see the native Korean’s engaging in the different cultures and cuisines of the world. Also interesting to see Gary Payton (aka “The Glove”) out and about in the neighborhood doing some endorsement work. If you’re looking for just a good time, something definitely worth checking out.
