A Hamburger the South Korean Way
New York Times ^ | July 14, 2009 | FLORENCE FABRICANT

Posted on 07/15/2009 9:48:38 AM PDT by nickcarraway

The American hamburger continues its world tour, picking up new flavors along the route.

A bulgogi burger, using ground beef marinated for a day in Asian seasonings — garlic, brown sugar, sesame oil — is now on the menu at New York Hot Dog & Coffee in Greenwich Village. The seven-ounce patties are then grilled and topped with Napa cabbage slaw, sesame seeds and, as options, cheese, kimchi or hot sauce. Crunchy cornmeal-dusted fries can go alongside.

GLOBAL FOOD SWAP New York Hot Dog & Coffee is a chain of 200 or so cafes in South Korea, owned by Mi Kyong Choi. The New York branch, the first in the United States, is managed by Mrs. Choi’s oldest daughter, Jayne. The Chois came up with the burger after noticing the popularity here of their bulgogi hot dogs, which are topped with strips of marinated seared beef.

Next, they plan Korean tacos, served with, yes, more bulgogi.

Traditional bulgogi is delicious.

I’ve had hamburgers in S. Korea, and that ain’t them!

That’s fine and dandy, it’s always nice to see a good burger story...

But....

The Slimes is increasingly stealing material from blogs like A Hamburger Today and Slice and 1,000 others, especially for soft features stories like this one.

The Nashville Club’s meat came from the Commissary system. Trust me...

Check out Richard Blais’ take on hamburgers here in Atlanta. The Bahn Mi burger and the Po Boyger are killer.

Yes, but maybe they are better off stealing material than relying on their own material.

Lotteria? It is to laugh.

Try a Hamburger on Green Street.

Grease soaked burger on a soggy bun with wilted lettuce, a too thick slice of onion, no cheese, and soy sauce. And no pickle either!

I was last in Seoul in ‘98. It was up and running then, although I kind of preferred the Seoul Pub.
