While Thai and Vietnamese cuisine boomed in the early 2000s, Korean<\/a> food simmered quietly away like a tantalising hotpot, never quite cracking the global scene. But all that\u2019s beginning to change. Sizzling BBQ over hot coals, fermented kimchi with a kick of chilli and vinegar, fried chicken that gives the Deep South a run for its money, not to mention the Willy Wonka-style cavalcade of little sauces, condiments, sides, pickles, salads and unidentifiable crispy things that come with every meal, allowing the creative eater to experiment with zany flavour combinations that make your tastebuds crackle and pop. People on the ROK sure know how to put on a good spread.<\/p>\n

We thought this region was ripe for a food tour, so we built one: our South Korea Real Food Adventure<\/a>. It\u2019s brand new and very delicious, and we recently sent a journalist, Ben Groundwater, and a photographer, Ben McNamara, along to give it a taste test. Here\u2019s what they came back with. Bon appetite.<\/em><\/p>\n
