stanford on "Koko! Share Bar (Toronto)"

Hey has anyone been to this place? An interesting review in the Globe and Mail: <a href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/food-and-wine/restaurant-review-koko-share-bar/article1537039/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/food-and-wine/restaurant-review-koko-share-bar/article1537039/</a> First off, I love the exclaimation point in the name! You don't see it enough. <blockquote>In this establishment, there are two long tables where diners are expected to sit beside strangers. And there is some insinuation that the restaurant expects us to talk to strangers and maybe even share food with them. Now go ahead and call me a fuddy-duddy, but I am not even a little bit interested in sharing food with strangers. Eating is an intimate act. I prefer not to do it with people I don't know.</blockquote> "Fuddy-duddy?" How old is this reviewer, 109? And why send someone who obviously is not familiar with Korean food to a Korean restaurant? The review is horribly written, a real embarrassment. But the resto sounds good and like it would be a lot of fun. If anyone has been, please tell me about it.

The worst intrepretation(use this word very loosely) Korean restaurant in the world. For those who think otherwise need to experience true Korean food, or need a new palate.

I know this will please some of you: There was a fire at the Korean Grill House in Toronto on Monday. No one was hurt, but as <a>Toronto Life</a> said: <blockquote>Considering barely trained customer-chefs are manning flaming grills, the question we’re asking is not “How did this happen?” but “How does this not happen more often?” </blockquote> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimu/4267659006/">photo from Jimu</a>
