How exciting! That sounds like a very interesting and delicious lunch. Congrats on such a special event!
You are so blessed, Maangchi. That had to be one great experience.
Living in the (remote) Midwest, I crave great Korean food that I don’t cook myself! :O) (and thanks for all of the pointers, there are several dishes I could not have pulled off w/o your help). That menu looked delicious and made me hungry. It’s probably a good idea you didn’t take pictures as I hear that LCD flat panels don’t taste that good and I would have probably tried to eat the screen!
You are sooo making me want to go visit Seoul again with the family…
Somehow when I first read the title of this blog post, my brain interpreted it as “Maangchi Named First Lady of Korean Cooking” haha. Although that would also be a great idea. What a wonderful lunch with amazing and interesting people. I can’t wait to see Kimchi Chronicles with Marja when it comes out on DVD and I am always anxiously awaiting your next video/recipe. Congratulations!
Cool Maangchi! must be nice to relax and not having to cook this time! can’t wait to see you here in the Netherlands.
What a great ‘meetup’ indeed a feather in your cap!
What lovely news, Mangchi! Well done ^__^ That menu sounds delicious!!!
This is SO cool….but I bet the First Lady was just as excited and honored to meet you!!!!
Wow Maangchi, a feather in your cap! Congratulations on meeting the First Lady of Korea. I am looking forward to meeting you when you come to Malaysia. Hope I dont miss seeing the dates Saranghae
What a truly amazing experience! Maybe the restaurant makes their own doenjang?
Congratulations Maangchi!! :-)
Maangchi! WOW! Congratulations!! You’ve met the most famous people in Korean culinary industry as of yet! So jealous!! The world is noticing your passion for Korean food! Fighting! =)
Wow! Congratulations Maangchi! Keep having fun! \(^^)/
