Seoul’s food traditions extend back centuries, from the hearty bowls of seolleongtang (ox bone soup) found in cozy restaurants to the simple vegan fare of Buddhist temples. Long-standing restaurants — like Wooraeok with its Pyongyang naengmyeon, seasonal seafood landmark Anju Maeul, and popular drinking and noodle spot Hansung Kalguksu — continue to hold their ground….
We all know the phenomenon of the “horse girl.” There was always at least one kid in elementary school who was weirdly obsessed with horses — who wore t-shirts with horses on them, read horse books, pretended they were a horse. I know this intimately because I was (and still am?) that horse girl. I…
TGI Fridays filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection over the weekend, the Associated Press reports. The move follows the closure of around 50 locations nationwide the previous week, CNN reports, and more than 80 closures in total for 2024. “The company expects to use the time and legal protections made available through the Chapter 11…
Shrek is a movie, but it is also a lifestyle. In the 23 years since the film’s release, there have been numerous sequels, a musical, a festival (RIP, Shrekfest), and a bottomless swamp of merchandise beloved by both the chronically online and Al Pacino. Shrek is the great unifier, and today, we behold its staying…
The thing about elections is there is only so much you can do about them. You can vote, you can phone bank, you can remind everyone you know that a majority of Americans don’t want abortion bans, and that Medicare paying for home health care is a very good idea. And then, you can basically…
In the last few years, it seems, Malört has gone from a little-known liqueur to national sensation. The Chicago product was served as the unofficial drink of the 2024 Democratic National Convention; it’s been celebrated at festivals, and an entire book has even been written about it. But has this been the same Malört…
Not all workwear-inspired brands hit the mark, but Snibbs’ clogs have proven their chops among Eater staff as a comfortable shoe to wear while cooking, walking, and standing all day. I believe the exact words from Eater’s Special Projects’ Director Lesley Suter were, “I’m in love with my Snibbs,” and, well, you can’t beat that….
La Hacienda Bakery has been making its rounds — literally. The Houston bakery, located in a strip mall at 180 Uvalde Road in the Timberwood area, first went viral on TikTok in October for its seasonal concha rellenas, or stuffed conchas, which are loaded with a pumpkin-spice filling and shaped and colored orange just like…
Prices taken at time of publishing. A beloved culinary heirloom, Le Creuset makes the gold standard of Dutch ovens. I’m still using the one I borrowed from my parents’ kitchen 20 years ago, after who knows how many years of it being used to make our family’s beef stroganoff and day-long bolognese. The enameled interior…
I know the concept of “what to do with leftover Halloween candy” sounds like someone inventing a problem. Like with casserole or meat sauce or Thanksgiving turkey, becoming leftovers is Halloween candy’s raison d’être. And unlike those other delicacies, a wrapped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup will take months to go bad — meaning that a…
