American Food? I Think Not! (and Other Culinary Adventures)

After eating a lot of Korean food without interruption for several weeks straight, it was time to venture out once more and attempt to find some more familiar, home-like fare.  When we came across the "American Grill" in Tanbang, we thought we had hit a home run.  However, after the Pizza Hut fiasco, I was prepared to proceed with caution.  As I entered the dining room, there were good signs:  labels over the buffet boasted "Spaghetti," "Soup and Salad," and "Casseroles."  I dared allow myself a shred of hope!

Alas, it was not to be.  As I surveyed the bar, my eyes took in the authentically American "Country Style Bibimbap," "Seafood Pasta," "Crab Fried Rice," and "Honey Covered Garlic Bread."  Oh yes, and four types of Kimchi for your dining pleasure.  *Sigh

I've learned not to expect much in the way of comfort food around here, so instead I try to focus on the delectable local culinary offerings, such as:

Yummy Yellow Radish

Delicious Dukbokki

Juicy Jajangmyeon

Pleasantly-Presented Pizza

and the closest thing to American food yet:

Scrumptious Sandwiches
