    these $5 buffets are actually for taxi, bus, and truck drivers. Obviously, not only for them but the idea behind these buffet is for busy drivers to rest up and grab quick and cheap home style meal. For obvious reason, also very popular among university students with limited budget. These kind of buffet/restaurants are called "기사식당" and literal translation is "Driver Restaurant".

    Mikey. It was nice to see you do a video from the past you. I used to love your videos. My kids even got you to wish me a happy birthday. I haven’t been watching your videos as much since you have gotten into the high life stuff. I could relate to you when you ate food like us commoners. I hope this is something that you will gravitate to. I really enjoyed your videos on Thailand eating common street food. Thanks for the memories.

    Next time you go to S.K., I'd love to see you do a tasting tour of Daegu. The city itself is gorgeous, nestled in this huge bowl valley, and it has a giant research farm in the northern part of the city, so with the right timing you can get farm-to-table at its absolute freshest. And from what I've seen on RUclips, the monorail ride on the east side is nice, too.

    Traditional Korean food is not spicy at all. Korea was actually late to the party when it came to enjoying spicy chilli peppers. Now a staple spice in Korean cooking, gochugaru is a chilli powder that consists entirely of dried chilli peppers that have been deseeded. But Portuguese traders didn’t bring chilli peppers to Korea until the 19th century. And the Korean chilli pepper actually isn’t as spicy as people think - the pepper used to make gochugaru has a relatively mild rating of under 2,500 Scoville units (in comparison, the Cayenne pepper starts at 30,000 Scoville units). Korean foods like ‘fire noodles’ have become popular due to the popularity of viral challenges. Although Korean chilli isn’t the hottest on the Scoville test, Korean cooking methods such as fermentation cause the spicy flavours to diffuse more quickly, so they can seem to taste even spicier!
