gonna eat some bulgogi and japchae and drink bubble tea and soju and sing karaoke! a group of us is going and making a whole day of it! can't heckin wait!

Interesting. Is this like a Korean equivalent of a Chinatown/Little Italy-style local district?

Have fun!!!

It's a city/neighborhood called Duluth that's part of metro Atlanta and there's a ton of Korean restaurants there, Korean is actually the third most commonly spoken language (after English and Spanish ofc) in Georgia because of Duluth lol

thanks!!

IM SO JEALOUS FUCK U LIKE 3 OF MT FAVORITE RAPPERS ARE FROM KTOWN

ok sorry fnfkfjfj i hope u have a fun time!

oh lol ur not going to LA ktown i rescind my fuck u fnfjfbdkfbfkf

rofl marcel 😂 yeah it's def not LA k-town, would love to go there too tho

we're heading home now, our korean friend put together a whole schedule of restaurants and bars and it was fantastic, I tried chicken feet for the first time, it was..... interesting.....lol

that sounds like a gr8 time!! 4 some reason, as picky as i am, ive always wanted 2 try chicken feet lol. how r they, specifically the texture?

so I will be honest that I did not like the texture, it was soggy and spongy, I would've liked it if it was crispy, but maybe there are other ways to prepare it? but that's just me, I think it's worth trying just to say you did lol. also they were soooooo spicy!!!

oooh ya spongy and soggy does Not sound like a vibe sjdfhg. livin in the midwest i dnt often get chances 2 have korean food, but ya ive heard korean spice is on another lvl

yea it's def not for everyone (incl me lol). but there are so many other amazing korean foods to try with good textures whenever you do find yourself in a k-town

ugh yeah, i kno a lot abt korean food 4 someone who can count on one hand the number of times ive had it skldjgh. my hometown actually does have a korean restaurant but its kind of one of those Special Occasion places so ive only been there a couple times

what kinds of dishes do they serve? is there anything you can't get there that you really want to try?

its been a suuuper long time so i looked up their menu, but it looks like they sell pretty much all the standard things u think of when u think korean food (heres a link if u wanna check it out https://www.koreanaappleton.com/menu)

when i went there i wasnt rly like. knowledgeable abt korean food like i am now, and also a lot pickier, so i regret never having tried their galbi or bulgogi or stuff like tht. i rly wanna try kimchi jjigae, and also i dnt see this on their menu but samgyetang. i like soup lol

woah nice that's a good menu!! I hope you get to go back soon, it's a lot of fun after you've learned about the foods to see how the real thing compares to what you imagined lol. I've never had samgyetang before but that looks super interesting! Have you checked out maangchi's recipes? She's got some that if you can get basics like kimchi and gochujang then they're actually not too hard to make!

ugh yeah i rly wish my hometown were closer 😭 i mean... im sure theres other korean restaurants fairly close 2 me, im only like an hour from minneapolis lol, but i dnt wanna have 2 search 4 emmmm. also i have no reason 2 go there but like my hometown ill b back eventually

i dont rly ever bring it up bc i dont want ppl 2 get the wrong idea and think im some sort of koreaboo, but ive been sooo interested in korean culture 4 a long time. unfortunately w college i dnt rly have time but when i can i wanna start teaching myself the language. theres this youtuber whos an american thats lived in sk 4 like over a decade at this point and i always watch his videos like 🥺 can i be u pls

ooo ive heard of her but never actually checked out her recipes. thanks 4 the tip! maybe i can pick out a couple things tht id like 2 make and then make a trip 2 the asian market. i need 2 get more into cooking in general, just 4 like my health, but my kitchen suuuucks so its too easy 2 talk myself out of it
