Eat Like a Beast!

   I love chicken as much as the next guy and anyone living here knows that South Korea does chicken in a way that would bring a tear to Colonel Sanders' eye. You've got your fried chicken from Pelicana or Frypan. That shit's delicious! You've got your baked and glazed stuff from... well... Pelicana or any other of the many chicken joints in your neighborhood. That's nothing compared to the dining experience at this new chicken place in town.
   Have you ever seen the guy who drives the truck with the rotisserie chicken in the back? He's got a big cooker in the bed with a window so you can watch these little chickens get all nice and crispafied... So good. This new place right near Nambu Bus Terminal (Seoul Orange Line 3) has that same chicken cooker attached to the restaurant. Ah-f'n-Sah!
   Here's the deal... You go in, sit down and say "Give me chicken."... If there's any hesitation...growl and repeat. There's no side dishes. There's no confusion. In a perfect Korea, they wouldn't even give you chopsticks. You'd walk in, they'd punch you in the face and give you a viking helmet. After this, you'd eat... It'd be awesome.
   The food (chicken) was perfect. It had some rice stuffed into it along with garlic cloves and a few wood chips called Gam-Cho (Licorice Root). It doesn't taste licoricey at all. It's used, basically, as a sweetener. They serve salt, hot mustard and chili sauce for dipping.
   After one chicken was gone I knew I needed to order another. This time I got it glazed with chili sauce. Delicious! It was covered in Tteokbokki (Chewy Rice Cakes) and corn. Did you know the Korean word for "corn" is Ok-Soo-Soo? It's probably one of my favorite words. It sounds like a Native American Indian tribe. There was nothing Native or American about this chicken though. It was just delicious. The heat from the chili sauce would've knocked the feathers out of any Indian's head-dress.
   If you're in the Nambu Bus Terminal area, be sure to stop by this bad-ass-stablishment. The sign reads- "꼭꾸이 참나무 통 바베큐" . You'll recognize it by the all-wood exterior if you can't spot the text. It's right across the street from the grocery store/ electronics complex. Leave your table manners at the door and go tear apart a chicken... and, of course, eat it... Enjoy!
