Thanks Maangchi... you are incredible! I bet 99% of the people who come to any of your sites leave very hungry and running to the store to buy some ingredients! I'm a volunteer with the KORUS Festival, an annual culture and food festival celebrating the relationship between Korea and the United States, hosted by the Korean American Association of the Washington Metropolitan Area (KAAW). I already posted under events about our festival in the DC area 9/14 - 9/16 -all are welcome for delicious Korean food and culture! Maangchi, please come! -Beth
