I see no evidence that Joe copied anyone's ideas from those links you provided and you are actually coming across as being jealous of his success.

Um… "dude", there is no conspiracy, it is just me. I hope you are not an English teacher, because that is just basic vocabulary.

And I don’t need to "be there" (where you are talking about is a mystery), because I was talking about "your" article, not a place. Again ??? seriously WTF? I stand by my comment, that you mostly self promoting, and what little you do say, others (people who have real jobs in the industry) have said it before you, which I supported by giving many examples.

I have read your blog, and I have no issue with it or you, based on your blog. However now you have wrote for real news magazines, you should not be surprised that not everyone is your lapdog, like the dog pound you have brought here attacking me.

Your comments about Japanese cuisine was very telling. I think you are a panderer who will be the foreign dancing monkey, as long as a little bit of won is dangled in front of your nose. I think you do a great disservice to Korean hansik in this regard.

The thing is, you may not know the truth, but since I was there, and it was me, I do know the truth. So I guess we can pretty much write off any wingnut conspiracy you spew from here on out.

Chalk one up for conspiracy nuts.

Was that what I think it was?? I thought I just heard a dog fart. No really…that's exactly what it sounded like.

Link didn't show up too well in the previous post, but here's a little on last year's festival.

Well, worth pointing out they do have a Hamburger Festival, and you'll find spots in Korea—like that festival site and other places in Gangwon-do—that consider themselves "famous" for their beef. I haven't had the time to read through ZenKimchi's remarks yet, but something I do recall reading from a few amateurs last year during the Mad Cow fiasco was that Korea ought to brand its beef as a delicacy in order to get some attention abroad, rather than just being a cheap . . . well, in this case an expensive substitute.

Perhaps it's just a numbers game, who knows, and there isn't enough cows to feed all those hungry mouths, but I think you'd definitely gain some popularity by exposing the world to Korea's grilling culture. Sure, you'd have to change it up to suit local tastes, and even though some in the media have railed against doing that, the latest articles in the papers all talk about the need to customize to suit the tastes of non-Koreans.

Anyway, I'm rambling, and even though Korea sucks at hamburgers, it otherwise grills meat pretty well.
