Boss Bibimbap

4.0

at Gogi Nara

-Changchon, Seowon, Hoengseong, Gangwon, Republic of Korea-

with the Family

With DJ heading back to Berkeley next week, we dropped by the cabin to eat at our favorite local restaurants.

LUNCH

Starting with lunch at Okcheon Jeontong Naeng Myeon, on the drive in.

Pyeonyuk Muchim (3.5): a bit mushy (see for comparison 12.327 Pyeonyuk Muchim).

HAPPY HOUR

Upon arrival at the cabin, I had a mid-afternoon drink with Dad (he and Mom happened to be there).

Schmucker Odenwälder Hefeweizen (2.5): according to my father, a (Korean) beer expert recently declared this “the greatest beer in the world” – it’s not.
Hwayo X. Premium (2.5): purchased on the plane flying back from the Philippines in January (see generally 17.005 Chicken Adobo with Fried Eggs + Kimchi), at the ridiculous price of $99 (for 750 ml) – the standard Hwayo costs around $25 (for 375 ml); aged in oak, it just tastes like cheap whisky.

DINNER

And dinner, of course, at our favorite K-BBQ restaurant of all time.

Banchan (4.0): amazing, as always.
