Today’s theme: Good Food & Fine Dining

(in relation to 2018 Michelin Guide)

Michelin guides are a series of guide books that are published by the French tire company, Michelin. In 1926, Michelin started sending out anonymous restaurant reviewers to try restaurants. To this day, Michelin relies on a full-time staff of anonymous restaurant reviewers whose expertise not only lies in food but in their chameleon like abilities to blend in as an ordinary consumer. The reviewers go into the restaurant and write a thorough memorandum about their experience. Then, all the reviewers come together to discuss and decide on which restaurants will be awarded the stars.

How would you define fine dining? And what is good food?

What role does the Michelin Guide play in Korea’s culinary culture?”

“You extensively reviewed places in Itaewon. For people not familiar with Itaewon area, how would you introduce its food scene?

Do you feel like there are any notable trends burgeoning in Korea’s dining scene?”
