So much variety on that table. The short rib looked really good!

[@IGetFood]

@@DetroitFoodReview you’d love it. Is Korean food popular in Detroit?

[@DetroitFoodReview]

@@IGetFood not so much in my area. North of here there are some spots. I've tried it in the past but I think I need to go with someone who is experienced and can show me what to order.

Have you thought about posting on TikTok? I feel like your video deserves more views!

@alanvan4807 my kids tell me I need to be on TikTok, 😂

[@recca7]

love korean food, will check out

[@IGetFood]

@@recca7 I hope you like it as much as our family does! Thanks 😁

Those banchan look very fresh and legit! The eggplant is making my mouth water. I have made Galbi jim - expensive and time consuming to cook at home. Special occasion you are right! We tend to automatically go to Koreatown (Christie/ Bloor) or Yonge/ Finch. I love that you highlighted a local gem in Richmond Hill. So important to support local. Great concept and content Clark!

@@skatingcanuck9837 thanks for watching. I had hoped you would enjoy the video. I’m not usually an eggplant guy so you know this was tasty.

@@IGetFood I have been meaning to cooking some Korean eggplant dishes. My local Chinese takeout sees my face and automatically asks me if I would like the spicy eggplant. 🤣

For anyone who doesn't know Hongdae is a neighbourhood in Seoul near universities that is popular with students and foreigners. Clark what are some of your family's fave Korean dishes?

[@IGetFood]

@@skatingcanuck9837 my kids especially enjoyed hanging out in the Hongdae neighborhood when we were in Seoul last year. My youngest is partial to ttukbaegi-bulgogi and KBBQ. My oldest loves KBBQ too and many of the different stews including galbi-jjim. My wife and I really like bibimbap but I can always go for the stews too. What I missed out on when we visited South Korea and kicking myself for it, is the samgye-tang (ginsing chicken soup). Any suggestions to get that here in Toronto?

[@skatingcanuck9837]

@@IGetFood Samgyetang is easy to make, but just takes time to stew. I love making it in winter. In Korea there it seems to be a real specialty dish where the best places draw big lineups. I will check out Toronto places for you two.

[@skatingcanuck9837]

@@IGetFood In Korea there are restaurants that specialize in Samgyetang and draw line ups. There is one the famous place that slowly roasts the chicken on wood fire churning racks (unique since it is a stew). Here in Toronto you won't find specialty samgyetang restaurants - your best bet is to go with a restaurant knowns for stews. KoSam Restaurant and bar has come up a few times in my searches - will keep searching. I often make it at home.
