$130 Korean Burger, I’ll Take Two
October 10th, 2008 by Alex
Remember when we said tFS wasn’t just going to cover pot? Well, you should slowly start to see posts that involve more the culture of our lives as opposed to consistent doses of the counter.
So how does the culture part of counter-culture get expressed? I’m not totally sure, I think the best way is to post things that our editorial staff are passionate about, but still have them link back to tFS’ core topic.
I know one thing that all humans love to do. Eat. If you don’t like to eat, there’s a high chance you’re dead. If you like to eat sober, then I’m positive you love to eat stoned.
The tasty morsel(s) above is a $130, or 180,000 South Korean won if you prefer, burger from the gods. Let’s take inventory:
- Australian Wagyu beef? Check.
- Seared foie gras? Check.
- Shaved black truffles? Check.
- Lobster tail?! Check.
- Tomato? Grilled red onion? Asparagus? Wild pine mushrooms? Check.
- Watercress & shaved fennel salad? Check.
- Three different sauces? Check.
- Finally, french fries & ketchup? Check.
Get me a plane ticket ASAP. Cab driver, take me to the W Seoul Walkerhill Hotel, and step on it.
Since none of us can taste this, unless you live in South Korea and have cash to burn, let’s live vicariously through the tales of Zen Kimchi and Fat Man Seoul.
Serious amounts of food pr0n after the jump…
