mmm…kimchi. theres a coo read from the ny times about the rise of korean cuisine in nyc. the article looks into the emergence of korean foodage, the old-school bastion of k-town on 32nd, and of the emerging non-traditional korean restaurants that have been appearing, driven by a newer generation of korean-americans. (traditional) korean foods a big thumbs-up in my book…and i suppose ive been trained (in small part by korean friends) to stick with k-town for our korean grub, but ive always been curious about some korean restaurants that have sprung up outside of k-town. the article brings up some of the differences between the traditional and newer fare, which has as much to do with ideology as it is with cuisine.
two of the restaurants mentioned in the article are actually in my neighborhood and are one and the same…muzy and temple. i had wanted to check out muzy a few years back before walking by it one day and noticing that it had closed. and then when temple opened not too long after that, i never got around to trying it. maybe ill take a trip over soon. and im doing a double-take…the owner of temple is only 23? yikes.
> kimchi chic (via ny times)
“and im doing a double-take…the owner of temple is only 23?”

Kimchi tastes good. Bokum Bap tastes good.

Your site comes up all the time when I google “kimchi” and “chic”. The older owner, her sister, is 28, so don’t feel bad.
