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. Chois oldest daughter, Jayne.

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

I guess it is...LOL. Place was great back in the day...I am sure it is still great.
I was introduced to “kettle” in Seoul...that is a drinking experience I will never forget and one night we were out past curfew and the MP’s literally had to rescue us...crazy times for sure.
“Welcome to the Puppy Patty...”
LOL....when were you there? I might have been one of those MPs ;-)
Damn straight.
I love Korean “BBQ”.
I was there a couple of times...that time I think it was 1986 or 87.
There was a little “kettle” shop at the top of hill (right)...just a few tables in the place and we were having fun and the MP’s were there drinking tea :)
I had no idea what kettle was...but then I found out...man that stuff throws you for a loop!
Me too. Where's the carrot and egg (or, if you were really lucky, green tomato slice)? Usually, these were consumed after midnight, after consuming large quantities of OB or Korean Bud.
Of course, times change. I was there 20 years ago...
Uuuuhh! The Puppy Patty! Dahyayyaya! dahyayayayaya!
