Bon Bi Bim Bap has 1,000 “stores” in Korea and five in SoCal. They want you now.

Korean cabbage quesadillas were a big hit.

One day at the National Restaurant Show in Chicago was enough for me and I didn’t even see one tenth of the exhibits. Instead of doing a written wrap up, I’ve posted a photo essay with comments. I will say this: Korean food is the new Latin and kimchi is the new salsa. Most talked about food item on the floor: Korean cabbage quesadillas (pictured). IJS.

Here are the pictures.

Here is the song you will be singing soon.

Great stuff Nancy!

Did you actually try the Korean cabbage quesadillas? Do you know what was in them? Kimchi? What kind of cheese – if any? Sounds really good and I’d love to make them!!!!

Sorry: cheddar cheese, Korean cabbage, and kimchi.

please forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between Korean cabbage and good ol’ American or Napa cabbage????

Sorry, Chinese cabbage and kimchi.
