A free Russ & Daughters Brunch Package from Serious Eats to share with my friends, of course!

It looks like those slices are in jail. What a way to go, behind bars and on fire.

Back in the early 2000's when my wife and I still lived in Chicago, we often took friends to the Cho Sun Oak (4200 North Lincoln Ave). It is a bit out of the way, a bit divey, and you may be the gaijin in the house, but I if its anything like it used to be, you are sure to have an experience.

The food is good, and the prices extremely reasonable. For meats, I would order some combination of the following: cha dol bae gi(unseasoned yet still flavorful beef), sam kyup sal (3 layer pork), and kalbi (beef ribs). The meat (except the kalbi) is grilled at your table, and when your meat is all consumed, the server will come to your table deglaze the leftover meaty goodness by frying rice and whatever is left of the banchan on your grill.

For the full experience, be sure to order copious amounts of soju.

Thank you rps... I find it completely offensive and off putting. If others don't see why, then that makes it even sadder.

Oops sorry, I got it... You may delete these comments...

Perhaps its a shameless for me to be promoting my niece's website, but she has a great recipe for Dduk Bok Ki at her site Eat Your Bap.

Kinda weird.. the whole point of using chopsticks is to avoid "stabbing" things... so this kinda defeats the whole purpose of using them in the first place.

I still think that the Motz Burger is an urban legend, or at best a phenomenon similar to Manhattanhenge where twice a year it appears only momentarily. I only say this because on the many occasions I've ever been to the Water Taxi Beach they've never actually carried the mythical Motz Burger.

Someday, someday...

Really like the photo of the tables/place settings, great depth of field, etc... just a great composition. As always all the other food photos looks great as well... sorry to hear that the food wasn't as good as it looked. It is truly amazing that even in NYC that finding well executed comfort food at reasonable prices is more the exception than the rule.

I once burned off a good portion of the skin on my forearm while heating a frozen pizza in the oven while extremely drunk after the Korean v Spain game of the 2002 World Cup. My scar which after years is thankfully almost gone still reminds me of Korea's improbable victory.

I did also, though very, very briefly dip my hand into the fryer at my first "job, job," while working as a young teenager at Wendy's (a long time ago), but the other events I witnessed in the kitchen are probably best untold. If you wanna see some unsanitary horror, go undercover at a kitchen full of disgruntled teens making minimum wage. You may never eat fast food again.

Of course I've worked in other kitchens as well, which were a still pretty gross and that wasn't fast food. Just forget I said anything and enjoy your meals ;)

Hmm... I knew there was some increasingly negative news regarding Google's treatment of its employees as of late. However I didn't know they were outright trying to kill them.
