1
On April 5th, 1984 in Seoul, Korea, the first Korean KFC opened its doors.
2
Fried chicken in KFC had actually had an influence on Korea since the 50s.
3
So in America, KFC opened in the 30s, right?
4
In the 50s, there were U .S soldiers stationed here for the Korean War.
5
Fried chicken wasn't that popular yet here.
6
And the American soldiers were like, hey, I want fried chicken.
7
So all the roasted and boiling chicken shops started making fried chicken.
8
And they were like, oh, shoot, this is good.
9
But really fun fact about Korean fried chicken is
10
that there are more Korean fried chicken shops in Korea than there are KFCs in the world.
11
Today, I am eating everything from Korean KFC.
12
There it is.
13
I've been in Korea for all of 12, 13 hours.
14
It's been great.
15
It's beautiful.
16
Everyone's quiet.
17
So I'm going to try to be quiet.
18
Okay.
19
Everyone's quieter than I normally am.
20
All right.
21
So we're here in the KFC and I've already got our first order.
22
We sort of went with the sides first
23
because I want to have all my dipping sauces here throughout the rest of the meal.
24
I've got my little GoPro set up here.
25
I've got my little side camera here.
26
We've got the kernel.
27
I hope that doesn't end up being distracting.
28
A lot of things to try, but if you're at KFC, you always want to start with the biscuit.
29
Look at that.
30
Looks a little different than our biscuit.
31
The biscuit.
32
It's buttery.
33
It's a little bit sweeter than ours in the States in a delicious way.
34
I mean this is slam dunk good.
35
It almost is leaning toward dessert but then there's a good buttery finish.
36
Really tasty.
37
Also look at this cute little bag that came in.
38
Look at that little guy.
39
We've got some chicken tenders here, some mashed potatoes.
40
Biscuit was delicious.
41
We got lots of sauces but let's go with the french fries.
42
Whoa they're sweet too.
43
What?
44
Hold on.
45
It almost tastes like there's a truffle -ness on these.
46
Like a little sweet truffle, a little bit salty.
47
Not...
48
Yeah, Becky's gonna try one.
49
Celebrity guest shot.
50
Come on in.
51
Make sure you've been down here to taste it.
52
Right?
53
That is sweet and truffle -y.
54
Sweet and truffle -y and still salty.
55
I think they are truffle fries.
56
They must be truffle fries.
57
I think you ordered that.
58
Well, I want plain.
59
I don't think you ordered plain.
60
Well, we tried.
61
We translated it to English, but, you know.
62
Let's try this biscuit, too.
63
It's just, like, a little bit sweeter, but it's a good biscuit.
64
It's like the honey butter is already in it.
65
Yeah, it's a good biscuit.
66
Let's stay on the potato and carb train with this hash brown.
67
Look at her.
68
Wow.
69
It's like a thumbnail.
70
Wow.
71
No, this is a thumbnail sandwich we'll have later.
72
All right, the hash brown.
73
I don't think we have hash browns at our KFC in America, which is a bummer because these are great.
74
Just tastes exactly like a McDonald's hash brown in the States.
75
Crouchy, greasy.
76
Crunchy, greasy, yummy good.
77
Also, I found the perfect little setup in this window, so I'm just looking at this beautiful museum and people walk by.
78
It's awesome.
79
Let's do the chicken nuggets.
80
I got the four -pack.
81
They are really giving McDonald's.
82
They feel like McDonald's.
83
They look like McDonald's.
84
they're hot the chicken nugget wow
85
that is the best mcnugget i've ever had the chicken just tastes more real chickeny
86
but it has that great flavor it has
87
that same breading as a mcnugget holy moly let's put this into one of the sauces here i don't know
88
if i got it
89
but it's like fire chili sauce it translates to god sauce every time i'm translating it to english
90
and i don't know if that's what it is i don't have it right now so let's try the fiery chili
91
It smells spicy.
92
I'm not gonna go too hard because I don't know how spicy this is, but the fire chili sauce on the chicken nugget.
93
Mmm, a good kick, but still a lot of sweetness.
94
It's almost like a pepper jam with more heat than a pepper jam, or it's more sweet than a hot sauce.
95
It's still very good.
96
A little tingle on the back of the throat.
97
Becky, these chicken nuggets are great.
98
They taste like McDonald's, but like better.
99
McDonald's with a fair government food and drug administration, right?
100
Tess like a McNugget.
101
You don't like it more?
102
You don't like it more?
103
I like it more.
104
No. It's got a good texture, but you're missing on that.
105
I'm missing the synthetic flavor.
106
Synthetic.
107
Yeah, I get that.
108
It's too real for me.
109
Well, thank you.
110
Makeup, makeup, please.
111
So we got this chicken like dipper situation, so I could try all the sauces.
112
This is just their plain chicken tender.
113
I got a five piece to dip in all the sauces.
114
Let's try the chicken tender.
115
Good flavor, a little spicy.
116
Maybe I accidentally got the spicy, because I know there is a spicy batter.
117
It's good, it's not blowing me away like the chicken nugget was, but it's a good chicken tender.
118
It's not bad at all.
119
Let's do what I would normally always dip these in.
120
The big gravy.
121
Whoa.
122
It's almost like a Japanese curry gravy.
123
It has depth of flavor.
124
There's some other spices going on in there.
125
I don't know if it's a cumin or a cardamom.
126
Totally different gravy.
127
It tastes like ramen.
128
I think it's got like a chicken bouillon.
129
Really flavorful.
130
Yum, yum, yum, yum.
131
Okay, so I'll have the mashed potatoes in a second.
132
So let's try more of the other dips that we have.
133
We have a smoky mustard.
134
Oh, it smells like a honey mustard.
135
Let's get my chicken tenders back.
136
The smoky mustard chicken tender.
137
Tastes just like a honey mustard to me.
138
I don't think I'm getting any smoke, but I'm getting a nice sweetness, a good mustardy flavor.
139
Let's move into the spicy mayo.
140
Whoa, it's orange.
141
Almost looks like a buffalo sauce.
142
You see that?
143
You see it?
144
You see it?
145
The spicy mayo.
146
Whoa.
147
Spicy, but not a lot of flavor.
148
I want my spicy food to be super flavorful.
149
It's definitely got heat.
150
Definitely a gochujang.
151
But I'm missing, actually, the salty fattiness of a mayo.
152
It really just hitting me with that heat.
153
Not a lot of depth.
154
That's my review.
155
Oh, this is a honey mustard.
156
How is this different?
157
Oh, it definitely looks different.
158
Get a little of this on here.
159
The honey mustard and the smoky mustard are definitely different looking.
160
Let's try the honey mustard.
161
Mmm.
162
This honey mustard actually tastes like a hot Chinese mustard without heat.
163
You know, like the mustard you get in a Chinese restaurant in America?
164
Countries like that.
165
So I kind of love it.
166
Obviously, me.
167
I love that.
168
Oh, the salsa sauce.
169
I was excited for this.
170
I don't know what this is for, but I got it for the chicken.
171
This is the salsa sauce.
172
Oh, it's salsa, all right.
173
What about that?
174
Focus on it, focus on it, focus on it.
175
The salsa sauce.
176
Whoa, the guy just waved to me, but I don't think he knew me.
177
I think he was just waving because I'm in the window.
178
I don't like that salsa sauce.
179
It tastes like salsa, and it tastes like gochujang.
180
It's a very strange blend of Korean and Mexican that doesn't work, which I like Korean -Mexican fusion.
181
I've had a Korean -Mexican fried rice that was, like, out of control.
182
Oh, ha, ha, ha.
183
Okay, let's try the mashed potatoes before we try the fancy chicken tenders we've got here.
184
The mashed potatoes with gravy.
185
Wow.
186
I mean, it looks exactly like ours, but it tastes totally different.
187
Really tastes like you made gravy with a chicken ramen packet, and I'm loving that.
188
I'm not just a little hot from some of the spicy things we had.
189
And now let's try the coleslaw.
190
Coleslaw.
191
They don't even pretend that this is made in -house.
192
The coleslaw.
193
Standard, par for the course, American grocery store coleslaw.
194
Crunchy, mid, refreshing, ultimately fine.
195
Oh, are these my spoons?
196
Oh, are these spoons?
197
Oh, oh.
198
Oh, this is a spoon.
199
Think I'm supposed to like bend it like this?
200
Oh, cool.
201
I gotta eat with a fancy spoon.
202
I like that.
203
It's a way lower plastic spoon.
204
We love that.
205
There's something on here that is really for the next section.
206
Can I get some napkins, Becky?
207
Becky's my first PA today.
208
She's actually associate producer because she's the only other person here, but she likes to be called first PA, which is not a role.
209
I wanna keep eating the biscuit, honestly.
210
The biscuit's like friggin' awesome.
211
Biscuit in the gravy.
212
Well, a lot of flavors there with that.
213
Not spicy, but sweet, buttery, rich.
214
Mmm, well, thank you so much.
215
Is this how you brought me?
216
What?
217
Do you know me?
218
You know me, Becky.
219
My dearest friends, you are cordially invited to the Killer Dinner Reunion Special, which will be broadcast live on October 29th at 5 p .m.
220
Pacific Time, only on Second Try.
221
There, my guests will return for the first time since they played my little game, and they will spill the tea.
222
What was going through the killer's minds?
223
How did the guests feel about their false accusations?
224
And what truly led to the backstabbing of the century?
225
All this and more at the Killer Dinner Live Reunion Special.
226
I'll see you at the dinner table.
227
I'm about to eat something that's covered in like gochujang.
228
One is like covered in a dust, which I think sometimes is like a tease.
229
Got this one that's covered in all that dust.
230
This one is covered in sauce.
231
Let's get into it.
232
I wonder if this is the one that was the God sauce.
233
It's got this little holder.
234
Look at that.
235
Wow.
236
Let's try this chicken tender.
237
It might be a thigh.
238
Let's find out. So much sauce.
239
It's actually not spicy at all.
240
It's sweet.
241
It's almost like a orange chicken sauce kind of, but not orange flavored.
242
But it is as sweet as anything I've ever had.
243
But I love the chicken because it's thigh.
244
It's so like moist in there.
245
Look at all that.
246
It is all over me.
247
Let's try this guy.
248
This kind of looks like a Cheeto.
249
Look at that thing.
250
What are you?
251
Let's try it.
252
Well, this one is almost just skin.
253
Is that how it's supposed to be?
254
I mean, it's delicious.
255
It kind of is like a Cheetos cheese, but it's sweet.
256
If this one has chicken in it on this side, I don't know how to describe that.
257
It's dusty, almost like a truffle dust, but it's cheese, but it's sweet.
258
I think I've had this flavor before at a Korean fried chicken place in LA and I didn't love it
259
But I'm liking it a lot more here and maybe
260
because it's crispier and it's thinner and fried like I do like it
261
But I'm also befuddled by it
262
So much powder really sits on your lips.
263
Let's move on to the next section
264
Okay, so we have a few rices.
265
We've got this monster with all the stuff on it.
266
Oh, it's boiling hot to touch.
267
We have the garlic butter rice.
268
Very simple.
269
And we have what looks like a...
270
Maybe a kimchi rice with chicken.
271
The butter garlic rice.
272
Sounds simple enough.
273
It was hot.
274
Very hot.
275
It was, as advertised, kind of tastes buttery, kind of tastes garlicky.
276
It's a little bit bland.
277
But you know, it looks like it's supposed to be a bland offering that you have aside more flavorful things.
278
You could add chicken to it.
279
You could add sauces to it on the kiosk.
280
So I think you're supposed to add it up, but I just did it as it was.
281
Let's move to the, I don't know if it's Kenchi and just mistranslated or it's kimchi.
282
So let's find out.
283
I mean, it looks so flavorful.
284
Look at that.
285
Wow.
286
Oh, it's steaming too.
287
And you have it with a little bit of this little chicken tender situation.
288
Oh, I lost it.
289
The Kenchi.
290
Oh, drop some.
291
Oh, the Kenchi rice.
292
it must be kimchi i mean it tastes delicious wow
293
that is incredible creamy
294
but not like creamy creamy like salty heavy indulgent satisfying very comfort food the chicken is delicious in it
295
but honestly this rice is so flavorful and as an american it tastes korean it also kind of tastes
296
like a ramen in a way so something about this is also in
297
that gravy some sort of underlying flavor
298
that i guess it's kind of like a kfc famous bowl in a way it's delicious creamy rice with chicken I mean, that is awesome.
299
I would get that.
300
I would order that.
301
I did order that, but I would order it.
302
I would order it if it was just...
303
This has got so much mayo and sauce on it.
304
So let's get in here.
305
I think it's just on the plain rice.
306
Yeah, this is on the garlic butter rice.
307
Let's try this one.
308
That's delicious.
309
It's that same sweet sauce, but they've added mayo, so it adds more salt and fat.
310
Wow, I love it.
311
It's rich.
312
It's sweet.
313
It's hearty.
314
I think I like the kimchi one more, but this is also still super delicious.
315
It's fattening, but it's good.
316
I mean, it's covered in mayo that's fat
317
but it's good let's move on to the sandwiches
318
or as they're called everywhere else in the world burgers there is this monster
319
and let me see i've got these names i don't know
320
if this is how it's pronounced
321
but it's the chick pole map singer double it's basically their kfc double down
322
and it's massive are you seeing this look at that thing I'm gonna do a thumbnail for ya.
323
Wow, how am I supposed to eat this?
324
It's a hash brown, bacon, tomato, cheese in between two chicken thighs.
325
So America's greatest export is fast food and Hollywood movies.
326
So this is what our culture has done to the world.
327
You're welcome.
328
Not enough napkins in the world.
329
Wow, that one got all over me.
330
It's a lot.
331
It has a gochujang, so it's very spicy, but because it's chicken thighs, it's fatty and indulgent, but the chicken quality is really excellent.
332
And the bacon and cheese and tomato kind of give chicken BLT vibes.
333
And there's a hash brown in there.
334
And let me be honest with you,
335
you don't taste it because there's so much going on and the sauce is so flavorful and overwhelming and sticky.
336
I mean, it's good, but it's sort of insane.
337
I don't think people order this.
338
Since I said BLT, let's have the Zinger BLT.
339
We have those in America and it's normally they're like smaller chicken sandwich, but here it's huge.
340
And this just looks like a chicken deluxe.
341
That's how we would call this, but this has chicken, bacon, tomato, lettuce, mayo on both sides, cheese.
342
The chicken BLT.
343
That tastes like a normal chicken deluxe sandwich.
344
It doesn't taste any different to me than what we would get in America, except that it's a chicken thigh.
345
That's like the only difference that I'm getting.
346
It's a fattier chicken, which means it is better, but otherwise it tastes totally American.
347
Next up is the standard zinger.
348
So we just had the BLT zinger.
349
So this is just the zinger with just zing.
350
No tomatoes, no lettuce, no snuffing, just the zinger.
351
This was white meat.
352
What?
353
What?
354
The other one was a dark meat was thigh but this was a chicken breast.
355
They're serving all of it.
356
If I'm being totally honest there is a slight different flavor in the breading.
357
Nothing I can really pick up on but it's a little different
358
but it does taste a lot like McDonald's chicken sandwich in America.
359
Interesting.
360
Okay let's move on to the Zinger Tower.
361
The Zinger Tower is just a zinger with cheese and hash brown and lettuce.
362
So a little more potato.
363
They really like adding potato here.
364
Interesting.
365
The Zinger Tower.
366
I taste the hash brown this time and I do like what it's adding.
367
It's adding like a fried oily flavor and adds like a savoriness and a little more crunch,
368
but also makes it just way more filling with less protein, I guess.
369
I like it.
370
And the cheese really stood out to me that time.
371
The cheese got drowned out in that double down situation, but it worked with the hash brown.
372
Made it kind of taste like a breakfast sandwich, which I'd love at fried chicken breakfast sandwiches.
373
So few places do it.
374
They used to do chicken biscuits everywhere.
375
Now no one does a fried chicken biscuit.
376
It's a bummer.
377
This location opens at 9 a .m.
378
So you could have any of these for breakfast.
379
Let's move on to this zinger.
380
I don't know what it is, but it's got a little sticker on it.
381
Let's see.
382
Zinger Tangdari?
383
I think this is just a zinger with cheese.
384
Oh no, it's got like a sauce.
385
These are saucy.
386
So that's a fried chicken sandwich with nacho cheese on it and I'm kind of loving it.
387
A little tiny bit of kick.
388
That is the zinger from me.
389
I do think you're getting a good American experience here.
390
It's different flavors but it's like the spirit of American fast food for sure.
391
This one has a spicy logo.
392
I think this is going to taste a lot like that first one I had.
393
Wow look at this.
394
Oh my god.
395
Okay this is another tower but this is a tower with that same spicy sauces before.
396
I probably could have gone with one less sandwich in this section
397
but I again a lot if it's in korean than i was guessing wow it's
398
so good i do have something here this um pepper sauce
399
it doesn't just taste like a go kuchang it tastes like familiar
400
when i first bite into it i'm like oh
401
i'm in a backyard barbecue where somebody has grilled chicken with barbecue sauce
402
and the grilled charcoal flavor has gotten into the sauce
403
it has a smoky charcoal flavor it's very familiar to me
404
and then it just ramps into spice just ramps into nothing but spice after that gets so spicy It's good.
405
It's like familiar, interesting, a little like elevated because of the smoke flavor.
406
Is the same sandwich as the last four that I've had with a different sauce.
407
And that's how most fast food is.
408
So like that's not on them.
409
That's on me.
410
And now it's time for a wrap.
411
Looks like a snack wrap except we got chicken coming out of both ends.
412
So two chicken tenders and a flour tortilla, lettuce, and mayo.
413
The twister.
414
I gotta say the chicken itself is great.
415
Like the fry tastes clean.
416
It doesn't taste too oily it's nice there's also there is something in the batter that has this little bit of
417
spice but that's a good snack wrap like it just lets the chicken shine i don't taste
418
that tortilla at all we have one more thing in this section
419
and that is actually a leftover from the previous section
420
which is the normal french fries french fries french fries it's time for the french fries
421
i like the other fries better these fries just are a
422
little underwhelming especially with the fun excitement like I thought the other ones were just their normal fries
423
so the sweetness and the truffle just sort of was like whoa
424
so fun finding out that those are special fries
425
and they have ordinary fries
426
and the ordinary fries are ordinary I think
427
they should just keep the fun fries they kind of taste like under salted McDonald's fries
428
and now it's time for what we've all been waiting for big old buckets of chicken okay
429
so I have bad news I know I said
430
that we were going to move on to the big buckets of chicken um
431
but this location doesn't have big buckets of chicken I didn't realize.
432
So I have the chicken we have, but I also got some other fun surprises.
433
So let's start off with the Budweiser.
434
They have it in can and on draft, which thrilling for me, the Budweiser beer.
435
I've never sat in the KFC and had beer, so this is pretty sick.
436
I kind of like it.
437
I'm looking out, I'm looking at Korea, I'm watching people walk by.
438
Also, shout out to the amount of trees in Seoul.
439
We were driving on the freeway and there's just trees everywhere.
440
Just so much plant, so much lushness.
441
I mean, it's beer.
442
And then they also have hot and cold coffee.
443
So I got an iced Americano.
444
The iced Americano.
445
Okay.
446
Well, something's got to be bad.
447
That wasn't good.
448
I didn't have high hopes, but I do have high hopes for this next thing, which is the iced chocolate.
449
So they have hot chocolate, which I'm used to, but they also have iced chocolate.
450
And I thought I've never had iced chocolate.
451
So let's have the iced chocolate.
452
I mean, I've had chocolate milk, which is what I assumed this would be like.
453
So the iced chocolate.
454
And it comes in a mug.
455
Bro, don't freaking need this unbelievably tame branding.
456
The iced chocolate.
457
It's watered down chocolate milk.
458
It is so watery.
459
I wonder if they'll sell me this mug.
460
I wonder how I even could ask them.
461
I feel like they don't even want me to ask them.
462
I want the mug.
463
I love this mug.
464
So we do have some chicken.
465
We have the things we haven't had before, which is the actual spicy chicken tender.
466
I don't think we've had just the normal chicken tender and I thought it was spicy, but we do have a different breading.
467
The spicy chicken tender.
468
Hmm.
469
Maybe this is the normal one.
470
Or this just kind of left in the fryer for two rounds because look at the difference in color here.
471
You would think the darker one is the spicy one.
472
This is not spicy.
473
So this is the plain.
474
And we've only had the spicy so far.
475
So they've just been default giving me the spicy, which means the spicy, I mean the spicy is better.
476
This is not as good as the other one.
477
I hope this is spicy.
478
We'll find out.
479
Mmm.
480
First of all, this is chicken white meat.
481
This is chicken dark meat.
482
This one is way better, but it's not spicy.
483
I think they gave me the wrong one, but to be fair, they are sick of me.
484
Oh, this has a little heat creeping up.
485
A little heat's creeping up.
486
The crunch is awesome.
487
The taste inside is awesome.
488
The beer just goes so perfectly with it,
489
and I do know that Korean fried chicken and beer are just like a very classic late night dinner.
490
They have hot wings, and I got the two -piece, and let me tell
491
They're so darling.
492
Look how little these guys are and it must be the same flavor as the chicken tender.
493
Let's try the hot wing.
494
Mmm, it's a good little chicken wing since this is the only bone in chicken I'm gonna have.
495
I gotta savor it.
496
Mmm.
497
I don't know how to add sauces or if I'm just supposed to dip.
498
I'm probably supposed to dip in all those sauces and everything just comes naked and you dress it up.
499
I think they're all drumettes.
500
You see how moist they are though?
501
See the glisten?
502
I'm listening.
503
Yeah, there's a little heat in the batter, the same as that's in the other one.
504
Not overwhelming.
505
I wouldn't even describe it as spicy.
506
I would describe it as mild plus, which I'm loving.
507
I'm gonna have to, though, keep an eye out during all the KFCs we visit later.
508
Well, here's a lucky thing for you.
509
If you're looking at the time of the video and there's more than two minutes or three minutes left,
510
it means I have found bone -in fried chicken.
511
So we're going to go ahead and cut to that now, and then we'll come back for the dessert.
512
Okay, we are at another KFC just down the street, and let me tell you, this one is slammed.
513
Every single table is taken up inside.
514
We are outside.
515
I did a show -show faux pas.
516
I ordered it to go because I didn't think we were gonna get a seat and then we got a seat.
517
So now I have it to go here and that's apparently not okay.
518
So I'm gonna be quick.
519
We got the original recipe and we got the extra crispy.
520
Let's dive in and be done.
521
Ooh, which one's which?
522
Okay, this is clearly the extra crispy.
523
It's hot as hell.
524
Look at that.
525
And of course, original recipe.
526
I got a three -piece.
527
We got a drum.
528
We got a wing.
529
We got a thigh.
530
Ooh, it is so hot, Becky.
531
All right, the original recipe.
532
well this one definitely tastes fattier it's a very thin breading
533
I think it's even less than we have in America
534
I'm getting a lot of heavy flavor from the actual chicken leg I'll say
535
that is the least seasoned chicken piece that I've had all day it's good
536
but it needs more flavor so I think I'm gonna get
537
that from the extra crispy which is so funny
538
because extra crispy in the states has less flavor original recipe has all the 11 secret herbs
539
and spices right but this just tastes like
540
standard fried chicken but this batter here is so good
541
so I'm excited for the extra crispy oh my gosh
542
it's a half breast I thought
543
it was a thigh just selling half chicken pieces here whoa scandal
544
you know what I'm gonna say it these are the least good chicken pieces I've had
545
so I think the reason
546
that other place doesn't do it is the bone -in here isn't as good I'm shocked
547
because I'm such a bone -in boy but look there's like seasoning in
548
that batter oh yeah I don't know that's supposed to be there because that is a very gochujang bite.
549
I like that they put that marinade in, but I'm not getting actual spice or flavor.
550
I'm just sort of getting a whisper of gochujang flavor.
551
No spice really.
552
I think they both could use more salt.
553
Probably my main critique.
554
This thigh is so funny and cute though.
555
Look at him. So widdle.
556
Alright, back to Keith in the restaurant.
557
I think this is dessert.
558
It's the only thing that resembles dessert on there and it's a little egg custard tart.
559
I saw one of these at a just a different pastry shop this morning, so I think these are very typical.
560
Typical little...
561
Oh, what happened here?
562
Well, I lost the beat cam.
563
Or now it's back.
564
And now last but not least.
565
Oh, everyone's moving their chairs.
566
A party of 10 has arrived.
567
Last but not least.
568
The egg tart.
569
Lava hot custard.
570
Whoa.
571
Mmm.
572
The pastry on this is incredible.
573
It's so light and flaky.
574
Hold on.
575
Such a delicate flake on this thing.
576
I don't know if you can even see.
577
It's such a flaky little treat.
578
Mmm.
579
It's so light.
580
Sweet not too eggy, but flavorful and rich and yummy.
581
That was good.
582
I'm just so impressed with how delicate that pastry was.
583
It was like very fair puff pastry, very thin, very fair.
584
Well, and now it's time for the best and the least best.
585
Let's start with our least best because there were very few.
586
I think that the plain rice was a little boring
587
and I do think that the iced Americano and the iced chocolate are sadly among the least best.
588
However, the mug is amazing.
589
What a freaking mug.
590
Of the least best, I think that perhaps the Double Down was too much.
591
But just like the Double Down in America, I think it's meant to bring you in and then you order something different.
592
I think it's just a flashy thing to put on a sign and people go, no way, who gets that?
593
And then you were about to order and you're like, maybe I'll get something more realistic.
594
Do I actually want that?
595
But let's move on to the best.
596
I might be calling it right now is this.
597
This is the only thing I've kept around.
598
Throw another stuff away and this I've kept around because it's so good.
599
The other rice was also good, but perhaps a little too gooey for most.
600
I love the gravy.
601
The gravy's phenomenal.
602
I love that biscuit and the hash brown.
603
All those things in the first section were so good.
604
Other bests.
605
I like the little wings.
606
Those are good.
607
The sandwiches were actually just pretty good.
608
There maybe was one sandwich I really liked.
609
The one with the nacho cheese.
610
That one I liked.
611
The rest are all going to be what you like better.
612
If you like a club sandwich, get the BLT.
613
If you like a straightforward, just get the straightforward zinger.
614
This has been fun.
615
Also, the vibe here is great.
616
It's not too busy.
617
I'm upstairs looking out the window.
618
I'm loving my time here.
619
And did we have a bucket of chicken?
620
Did we have original recipe?
621
I don't know.
622
You know.
623
And if we did, I'll have a mini least and best.
624
Now, is there a best and least best?
625
I know we're volleying back to here now.
626
I don't know.
627
These are least best, I think.
628
They're just fine.
629
Well, it's getting very loud here, so I think it's time for me to go.
630
As always, thanks for watching
631
Eat the Menu.
632
Get yourself a not -too -hot sauce, and stay tuned because we have more Korean Eat the Menus coming up in the next couple weeks.
633
I'm out here eating my way through Korea having a great time.
634
And as always, thanks for being here, and I love you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
