Yes, I am late once again. Those who are simultaneously traveling and managing a blog will understand: sometimes schedules change. Hopefully my readers understand! On to the food! First things first. I know I posted this picture on Facebook, but I feel the need to plug my favorite coffee shop yet again. Homestead Coffee is a chain in Korea that you can find in many areas, but I love my Itaewon location. I am there at least once a week and always order something to drink and e

As with any trip, unexpected things can happen. Such is the life of a traveler. Due to unforeseen circumstances this Food Friday is now a Food Sunday. It's a rainy day here in Seoul, perfect for sitting at a coffee shop and spending time writing and editing photos. Last week I traveled to Sokcho, on the east coast of Korea.

Grapefruit beer and fried chicken gizzards in Hongdae. I had this at lunch with a Korean friend and he was quite surprised that I, as an American, would eat gizzards. Blame my Southern mother.

Conveyor line sushi in Sinchon (the sushi was...different...from Japanese sushi, not that great, but really fun).
