Mozzie in Itaewon – Mozzie! Mozzie! Mozzie! Oy! Oy! Oy!
I want to go out on a limb here and say that was my best title ever. So up on a hill full of lust and a country bar with cheap drinks, sits Mozzie, a New Zealand restaurant located inside the ITW Hotel. With lamb shanks, sausages and steaks galore, Mozzie hit the Spotzie (hahaha… […]
Gino’s Pizza in Itaewon – Still Rocking Some Good Pies New York Style
Six months ago, I visited Gino’s with a friend and came away impressed with their service and of course, their pizzas. Over the course of the summer, with their soft opening now long gone, and their appearance on a Korean food television show spiking their popularity, I headed back with the NYC ladies, Steph and Sabrina, […]

Ring the Alarms! Firebell in Gangnam is Smoking!
Hope the summer is treating you well! My family has left me by myself for a few weeks and heading back to the land of red, white and blue, so that means a little more free time to write and explore the Korea. Last week, I finally decided to go head down south of the […]
Canucks in Itaewon – Stupid Name. Mediocre Food. Big TV.
Let’s get this review out of the way. As you can probably tell by the title, Canucks in Itaewon didn’t quite meet my expectations. So let’s make this as quick and as painless as possible. What’s in a name?: So when I first walked by Canucks back in February, it was called “Maple House”. When I […]

Namu (나무) Kids Cafe in Hagye: Fun for the Younger Kids
It’s cold outside.. Like really cold. So what does that mean? Kids Cafes.. sigh.. Lots and lots of kids cafes. However, on the bright side, you can let your kids burn off some steam in a warm, cozy and safe environment. Namu (which means “tree” in Korean) is a great little kids cafe near Hagye […]
Gilbert Burger in Itaewon – Burgers, Shakes and Chili Cheese Goodness
It’s been awhile my friends. Between changing diapers, getting vomit projected onto my face and various other bodily functions that have directly (or indirectly) kept me locked in my apartment in a hermit-like state, I have finally broken free of the shackles for one night in Itaewon. So I decided to check out one of […]

He is also the creator of the very delicious (and massive) Sid Burger! Anyway, he has ventured out to start his own enterprise, Sid Burger Minis. After three months […]
The Rib Shack in Gyeongridan – Like a Poodle Versus a Rotweiler in a Dog Fight.
Well it’s 4am and my mind is racing with a thousand ideas on a thousand lists with a million words. So, I might as well blog something. I’ve seen Rib Shack on my travels to Gyeongridan a few times, but anytime I’ve been down there, it’s been closed. I decided to make my way down […]
