If you keep up with the Korea bloggers, then you’ve no doubt heard of
Seoul Glow, the video pod casts from Photographer
Michael Hurt. The podcasts cover everything from politics to pop-culture, to food, and are a great glimpse in to the day-to-day life in the land of the Morning Calm.
In Seoul Glow’s second video podcast, former Food and Wine editor Susan Choung takes viewers to a ddokieboggie stand.
Personally these videos are almost painful for me to watch. Not because they aren’t excellently produced, edited, subtitled, or hosted. No, watching Susan munch on ddokboggie in the chilly Korean winter, tugged at my heart strings, homesick for the chilly nights Kevin would stand huddled, arm in arm, in front of the pojangmacha, slurping up spicy logs of tooth tender ddokboggie, hands cupping dixie cups of radish broth, trying to stay warm.
What does make me happy though, is the interview with fellow food blogger
Zen Kimchi in the
New York Times. Read what Joe has to say about what makes Korean fried chicken so magical here. One small step for Korean Fried Chicken, one large step for Korean Food Bloggers!

Oh–thanks for the heads-up. I watched the first one but didn’t realize there was a second. These are so great; they bring on twinges of nostalgia for me, too. But the article about 양념통닭? That nearly did me in. I’d give a right arm to eat some of that again!!!
