Day 61: Multiple Jobs

Anyone who lives at or near the East Gate of Yonsei University, or go to school around here are probably quite familiar with this little 식당 (restaurant). This is, easily, one of the best 돈까스 (deep fried pork cutlet) in all of Korea. The menu contains many different types, from cheese to kimchi, uber spicy, and sweet potato. The outside of the place doesn't look all that appealing, but the minute you step inside it looks unlike any place you've probably eaten. The cook is not only a master deep fried pork cutlet chef but an amateur painter and photographer (he is Korean, after all). The inside has the walls covered in murals, albeit open to interpretation as to its 'quality', but it certainly doesn't fit the bill for your normal restaurant in Korea, especially in the area when the vast majority of places are pasta and way too expensive. The cook, and his wife incidentally, make friends with many of the regulars that come in, often foreigners at one of the three or four programs at Yonsei at the East Gate (KLI, GSIS, UIC, Exchange Program). This is a must go to place for anyone coming or already in Korea. Guys and Dolls, not even Martha can cook like this! And hell, she's got herself a show, magazine, and towel line at Target!
