It’s like fate, as I was talking to Newdie Mag contributor Megan Kojima while she is on vacation to South Korea I walked past Mokja Korean Restaurant. Suddenly it hit me: I should challenge that ****** **** (amazing lady) to find a better version of the same dish. Korean food in Korea vs. Korean food in New York. Come at me bro (Sis?).
