I find a lot of parallels between Korean fried chicken and ramen (which, I know, is like my favorite topic) in NYC.
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand, both have a lot of cultural significance to immigrant/expatriate groups. Both are also really delicious.
But they also seem to be a vehicle for foreign chains to come into a city. Meanwhile, David Chang and the food hype machines have embraced both of them.
Korean fried chicken's interesting in a different way, though, since it's the boomerang of globalization. At least according to this Times article, it evolved from fast-food places that opened in Korea after the American war.
Thanks, foundconnections.... I didn't see that Times article.
