How do you pronounce bibimbap?

yes its bee-beem-bop, (or bee-bim-bop). i work at a korean restaurant in nyc,, and i have heard soooo many variations of this word. BIM BIM BOP, BIP BIM BOP..... and even BOP BOP BOP. in korean, bee-bim means mixed and bop means rice, so literally bop bop bop would be rice rice rice. but i have learn to let go of the urge to teach the correct pronounciation... i had been pronouncing KNISH as NEE SH for about a year. ;p

The "tip line"

Restaurant servers- who expects tips with the service- has smaller hourly payment from the restaurant. I believe there is different minimum wage for the ones who get paid tips and for the ones who usually dont get tips....
