This Just In: There are Burgers in Korea that aren't made of Dog...More at Eleven



(Top Right) Nashvilles is the happiest place in Seoul, featuring 3 dartboards, 14 tables, a full-service bar, and a Korean staff that will pretend to know what you're saying while they pleasantly smile and nod their heads. (Middle Right) Jason Jang enjoying the sweet burger. Immediately following this picture, was him enjoying himself a little too much. (Bottom Right) This burger could have easily been served at Cornerstone but not Bentleys, because Bentleys burgers suck.

After 1 month of being in Korea, Life isn't too bad. I've replaced Wawa subs with Fish cakes that are sold outside my apartment and I still have Chinese food delivery, although I have to return the bowls that I eat out of by leaving them outside my door for them to collect.

However, a certain void has appeared in my life. When I think American food, all I can think of is Burgers. They should start serving burgers wrapped in Stars and Stripes with fireworks to compliment each bite. But in Korea, hamburger meat is like eating the sole of my shoe. In fact, I would gladly eat the sole of my shoe if it meant that I would never have to see a Korean style hamburger again.

Luckily, Angelo knew of a place in Itewon (known as the foreign region of Seoul) that sold burgers that actually resembled burgers. Jason and I went along with Angelo to chase this elusive burger, in hopes that I would have to never eat shoe again. A thick burger patty, a generous helping of cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion, and draft beer to wash it down...Heaven has a name and its name is Nashvilles.

The food coma lasted about an hour but the memory will last me a lifetime (or at least until next week, when I go again). And with that, there's not much to miss...except all of you guys at home of course.

So being in Korea and finding a decent burger, life isn't too bad...

just don't order the wings.
