Korean Taco Recently I taped the Kimchi chronicles on PBS, which oddly enough features Jean George Vongerichten and his wife Marja. Well actually it’s not that odd because it turns out his wife is Korean and hence the TV show. Watching them put together some Korean food got me excited to cook up some at [...]

Barrio gets the benefit of the doubt from me on many fronts.
