Mapo galbi

LA Review.

In a recent issue of Lucky Peach, chef David Chang said that Mapo Galbi in Koreatown was his favorite restaurant to eat at in the world. Chang sometimes has lapses in taste, but in general he is someone you want to pay attention to when the subject turns to food: You could spend a blissful weekend eating nowhere but his various Momofukus in New York, and he is a regular at some of the best restaurants and ramen bars in the world. Still, Mapo Galbi is not an obvious place for culinary epiphany. Its blocky hand-painted sign is untranslated. It occupies a plain storefront on a sleepy block; you will not be visiting it by accident.

Tables are commonly reserved for celebrations by Korean drama or movie crews after they successfully complete their projects. What makes this Korean galbi restaurant different is the special marinade they use. Rather than using the typical seasonings of other Korean galbi recipes, they add plums in the marinade to add a natural sweetness. One serving of marinated beef galbi is 26, won, and you can try the pork for half that price. But its simplicity is also part of its success. Even with the limited offerings, this place is a favorite among Korean bloggers. And for 12, won for each serving, you can try a lot. The heaping portions are one of the best parts of this galbi jjim restaurant in Seoul.

March 4, De Los. Food How beloved bakery Sweet Lady Jane found a new owner. It reopens this month. Perfect Fors. It is one of those dishes that is as much a worldview as it is a pleasant way to spend an evening; a mass of chicken and vegetables that can be mild enough for small children or cranked up nine-tenths of the way to pain; healthy almost in spite of itself; meager in its way yet almost infinitely expandable. You will wonder what the stubby white shapes in the pan might be: The thick round ones are the rice noodles called tteok , and the lozenges are cut from white sweet potatoes. And it is.
