The Deli has moved. Now right underneath the restaurant in a former telecom store. Still the only to get a decent corned beef sandwich in Seoul. Christian makes a damn fine Rueben as well. He can get that Christmas turkey or goose, you need to plan WAY ahead, at least a month. Realize if they don’t grow it here it has to be shipped. Some things are just not worth the cost. The restaurant catered a diner for 35 of us in December, roast turkey and all the trimmings, fabulous!!!!

I just found this place recently too! Good sausages. All the food in that place, and
Wolfhound, I crave on cold wet days. Comfort food.

I went to the food festival in Itaewon on Friday. My review: It was pretty decent. There
were a lot more Korean stalls along the street than there were at the last one. There
was a Russian hut that had smoked fish, the Aussie shop had a stall with meat pies and
fish and chips, and I found South African sausage with a bit of chutney in the middle on
a back street near Three Alleys Pub, BUTt the hot spot of the festival was definitely the
shwarma guy (who is usually set up next to the Coffee Bean, where the old Burger King
used to be near the subway). He was surrounded by a huge crowd for a large portion of
the evening. I was hoping for more Middle Eastern food. In like April of last year they
had a festival and I had THE BEST FALAFEL ever! It was late, cold, and raining like crazy,
but everyone I was with huddled together and had two or three each. It was falafel from
heaven that warmed our little souls. I couldn’t find any falafel this time around, but it
wasn’t raining. I ate till I was stuffed and then rolled myself home.

I always miss out on the festivals. Really, the weekend was booked (sound like I have a social life, huh).

Smokey’s burgers are good. A bit pricey. I have recently grown fond of the Wolfhound’s burgers for taste and value.

Tell me more about the food fair.

Thanks! I’ll definately be checking it out. Did you happen to go to the Itaewon food festival this weekend? I went with a group of guys and we were all so underwhelmed that we went to Smokey’s for the famous burgers (which, in contrast, were very impressive). To be fair we got there around 1:30 and most of it didn’t open up until 3ish.
