Since you'll be up in the Columbia area, I highly recommend Hamilton Deli, which was downstairs from the b-school - I used to go there all the time & get the Lewinsky, it's addictive & cheap.

Oh & rock on Jen!! Yay!

If you'll be here with your daughter during the week - it might be nice to try out Convivio while they are running this deal...

Kimbap is one of my favs too! Although I'm horrible at rolling it...
@engmcmuffin: In Korea, they have a ton of different "flavors" or I guess fillings...I started to see the cheese rage in the early 90's where places started adding cheese to everything: kim bap, ramen, etc. Tuna has always been a staple filling, as has kimchi, etc., but (and others may disagree with me) cheese I feel was added to give it a 'western' flair and yes, it's usually of a processed variety.

Yay Anita! HELL-O- east coast ALWAYS rocks... =P Love the positive energy...

Choi is not vapid - I was friends w/her when I was younger, met her in Korea- she's intelligent, well-spoken and when I knew her very sweet with a good heart and I don't ever remember thinking she didn't eat. (I tend to eat a lot so I'm aware when others don't.)

I understand where the comments are coming from - she does come across as cold in this show, which is a shame but I also thought she wasn't allowed to give comments based upon the first show where she did eat the food with the judges but then immediately turned to the others and asked for feedback.

Just wanted to give my two cents...and disclaimer: I'm not even friends w/her now - we lost touch, I'm just saying I knew her back before and she was extremely humble and very nice...

Even though not exactly a coffee shop - the Westville coffee (from Westvill) is one of my favorites!
