First heard of this restaurant through someone in the restaurant business, seems like fine dining Korean is gonna happen in NY this year:

Word is that they are aiming high and making significant capital investments, expecting to stick around a long time.

Why would anyone pay more than a couple of dollars for pickled cabbage? Just for the carved carrots?

[Orik]

Don't forget rotten squid. You'd pay someone to rot your squid, wouldn't you?





The pictures from the Seoul location don't look promising, seems like he was really influenced by Zuberoa and Akelare, but we'll see:

I don't know which mistranslation of jowl I prefer - Catalans calling it "face" or Koreans calling it "jaw"

[Orik]

That might be the writer's doing.
I just noticed the price though - $40. I'm sure it won't be the same here.

so danes call it jaw

look at this - reads exactly like a review of an "NBC" place - even included the veg provenance.

This is why I don't read blogs much: the writer doesn't know enough about the food, and can't spell.

However, I think the visuals are, in fact, promising. That sort of thing should go over well -- at least as well as Tamarind Tribeca -- so long as it is promoted more as high-end than Korean. Korean is not necessarily equated with cheap in Tribeca; for example, even if it has turned into more of a lounge, Kori has been around for many years now. And I can't recall the name, but I think there's another relatively expensive Korean place somewhere down here. It's not all Seh Ja Meh and Koreatown, you know.

Now open - 5 courses, $125.

Hmm. Might try it sometime Paul is away.

If I can get over my sadness that it's not Chanterelle.

[Sneakeater]

I won't lie: I think this is the fall opening I'm most excited about.

[TaliesinNYC]

I guess you're just not into neurogastronomy.

[hcbk0702]

Intrigued, but I can't help being very skeptical. It would be neat if this place turned out to be good.

[Sneakeater]

I guess you're just not into neurogastronomy.

To tell you the truth, that's the one I'm second most excited about.

(Better rush over before it closes.)
