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, […]

Motor City Pizza in Itaewon – The Best Thing to Come Out of Detroit Since Slim Shady

Slim summarizes my reaction when I tried Motor City for the first time last month in this infamous gif. So overwhelmed by pizza goodness, I couldn’t speak nor comprehend my whereabouts.

Doughnut Plant NYC – Trans Fat-Free Doughtnuts in Gyeongridan. Can This Be True?

Doughnut Plant NYC has headed back to the big apple. Closed.  Yes, believe it or not, I still write. But a big thanks to Erik for his excellent contributions as DerekvsLP continues to expand. So after Holy Smoke, I decided to continue to fuck my heart by heading down to Doughnut Plant NYC for some dessert […]

Bonny’s Pub in HBC – A Great Choice for Pizza and Brews

Bonny’s was supposed to the be the first stop on a craft beer tour, but as many of my tours involving the brew, it ended prematurely and without any type of coherent documentation.

The night was finally settling in and we decided to visit a couple of more spots on Sam Hammington’s list. We were hungry after the beers from Phillies and decided to check out Casablanca Sandwicherie in HBC. There is a lot of hype around the place, so I was eager to see if it was […]

The Sam Hammington Food Tour in HBC Part 2 – The Hungry Dog and Phillies

After a nice brunch, we decided to head to Phillies first for a few beers and maybe some appetizers. Unfortunately, Phillies was still closed at 2pm, so we decided to head to The Hungry Dog instead for a couple of sliders, some milkshakes and a Coke.

Craftworks – The King of Craft Beer in Seoul and the Food’s Not that Half Bad Now Either.

Reviewing Craftworks Taphouse and Bistro is tricky because I’ve been there countless times over the course of my time here in Seoul, and like any relationship it has had its ups and downs. It was love at first bite, then we hit a rocky patch, and now, after a roller coaster ride of a relationship, […]

Battle of the Bookstores: What The Book versus Itaewon Foreign Book Store

Two stores, two very different experiences. One store feels like a small town, locally owned independent bookstore with a collection that has spanned over decades. The other store feels like a giant, soulless corporately owned MegaBox store with a vast selection of books, neatly organized into sections without a speck of dust touching their covers. […]

Happy Chuseok week! I hope everyone is enjoying their Chuseok, getting some rest and enjoying some great food! Today we decided to head down to one of our favorite parts of Seoul called Haebangchon, which is a sub neighborhood of Itaewon. This part of town has really flourished in the last couple of years to […]

M-Burger closed? Damn! Go to Jacoby’s just up the street!

It had been awhile since I was down in Noksapyeong station. I like to head down to Craftworks for a beer sometimes. I had the day off and decide to mosey on down to grab a quick burger and then to Craftworks for a quiet afternoon pint. M-Burger was one of the restaurants suggested in […]
