Let’s start with a sort of “lead restaurant” for this edition…. Kyung Mi Jong, Pumacahua 730, Parque Chacabuco – A bit off the beaten path from the two Koreatowns. I’m not sure if it used to be called “Galbi”, as it shows up on some maps that way, or it’s changed names/owners – my guess… Read More Bite Marks #42

But my friend Ed, who also joined for the Il Molo… Read More The Great Boston Dumpling Crawl – Day Three
