Korean cuisine emerging as an influential global food trend: food consultants

by Honey Pig 2.0on 11 December 2015in Deals, Events, Food, Uncategorized No comment

It was predicted to become one of the food trends of 2012. And if an appearance on the menus of family-style international eateries and celebrity-backed restaurant openings are anything to go by, all indications are that Korean cuisine is poised to become as ubiquitous around the world as Thai and Vietnamese fare.

After gazing into their crystal ball last year, food consultants Baum + Whiteman predicted that the punchy, robust flavors of Korean cuisine would emerge as an influential global food trend, even going so far as calling kimchi the food ingredient of 2012.

In an effort to push Korean cuisine into the international spotlight, the South Korean tourism office likewise invited thousands of chefs from around the world to the city of Daejeon, where they’re gathered for the 35th annual World Association of Chefs Societies this week.

The promotional move is riding high on the momentum of popular Korean-American chefs who have gained cult-like followings among foodie fans, an impact that has also succeeded in penetrating the mainstream food scene.

How to Eat Korean BBQ like a Pro

by Honey Pig 2.0on 11 December 2015in Deals, Events, Food, Uncategorized No comment

Right now there is simply no better way to dine out as a group than to gather a slew of friends for Korean barbecue. And there have never been better places to do so, from Koreatown classics to modern restaurants upending tradition. Young chefs all over the country are rewriting the barbecue rules at new restaurants like NYC’s Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong to Trove in Seattle. See what we’re ordering, how we’re grilling, and what shots we’re doing.

The Grill
If the server insists on grilling for you, let him or her do it. That’s what happens at the best places. But if they don’t, then please: Keep your eye on the meat. Flip from time to time for even cooking. If a piece looks done, place it to the side so it doesn’t overcook. Or better yet, eat it.

Banchan
Banchan are complimentary small plates meant to complement the meal (but you can graze at any time.) You’ll often find two kimchis, seasoned sprouts, daikon radish, and potato salad. Feel free to ask for refills.

Meat
Order a mix of beef and pork, and marinated and unmarinated preparations. Getting kalbi (marinated short rib) and samgyeopsal (unmarinated pork belly) is never a bad move.

The Drink
One reason the meal is such fun: It’s a chance to drink a bit too much, then head to the noraebang (karaoke). Make sure your neighbor’s glass is always full (and never pour your own drink). As a matter of respect, pour using both hands. And always fill the glass to the top. Your options:

Beer: Hite and OB, the Coors of Korea.
Soju: Like a sweet, mild vodka
Makgeolli: Milky-white unfiltered rice brew

Pro tip: Koreans love drinking games. Try the Seoul Train, a line of soju shots atop beer glasses. Ask your server.
