Day 67: Fish in a Barrel

Sometimes we make restaurants out of giant European cook books, and sometimes we simply take large barrels, cut a hole in them, and charge high prices for people to eat meat and chicken in them. This is an example of the latter. In Hongdae, in the back alley of a road that is not so mainstream exists this place, a cross between a pirate's den and a Martha Stewart fixer-upper. The food, when I went a while back, was quite good, and the atmosphere was a little more than strange, to say the least. The entire thing looked like a make-shift fort, but still had this air of superiority as if eating in a place with a giant barrel with a hole in it as the front door is somehow above eating in places made out of concrete or brick or adheres to the fire code.
