Reply to comment by off-and-on in 10 South Korean tourists were stranded in a blizzard near Buffalo. Then they spent 2 nights in a stranger's home, cooking and watching football. by HalFWit

Do yourself a favor and find a restaurant. "Chinese" food and teriyaki came over Stateside much earlier and adapted to fit American tastes (like Genrsal Tsao's) but Korean food is absolutely amazing and very overlooked.

Bulgogi, bibimbap, Korean barbecue (pork belly, beef, etc.) Soft tofu soup, and kimchi stew are all good gateway foods that are accessible.

I'm loving that Korean food is becoming wildly popular in the US. It makes finding it and all necessary ingredients much easier. I can just stop at Kroger for a lot of things as opposed to having to go to a Korean/Asian market. It also feels good to have people rave over food I already knew was delicious growing up. I remember being in school and people commenting on how my Korean food mom made me looked or smelled gross.

Also the morning smell test on our clothes for potential kimchi smell. I wish korean culture was as acceptable as it is now when I was growing up.

I feel you, friend. Let's just be grateful that it is now, right? Progress is progress.

Last summer I cooked up some round steaks of venison, from a deer my dad bagged, in a Korean BBQ marinade I made from scratch. The results were utterly delicious.

There's a Korean restaurant near me that serves cold cucumber kimchi. OMG!
