The longer that we are away from Korea, the more that we notice the influence of Korean culture in the places that we go.  For instance, it seems that no matter where we go, we seem to find at least one Korean restaurant in town.  Even in my hometown of Kansas City, there are a number of Korean restaurants (and restaurants claiming they are Korean), one of which was quite authentic.  In fact, I can now casually mention BiBimBap to many people and they'll nod in recognition instead of looking at me with a confused look. 

So, with that in mind, when you go to your local Korean restaurant here are some of our Korean favorites that you should try.  Better yet, if you are in Korea, then you definitely have to try all of these.

Luckily, Kyle's a programming pro, so we avoided (knock on wood!) any major problems, and the transition has gone great! I dabble with design & site management, so the two of us together, we managed a nifty redesign.

Why Redesign?
The design we had for 3 years had gone out of style. It was boxy, too content dense, and a bit clumsy. So our priorities were:
