We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.
A chilling thought
Pardon me. Where the eff did the summer go?
There are some indisputable signifiers of summer: strawberries, pedicures, the scent of SPF 45 mixed with sun-baked perspiration. For me, it’s naeng-myun. Noodle soup served with a top layer of sludgy ice. That plus a side of galbi is a classic Korean combo you’d find on any menu from K-town to Seoul. Grilled meat with a tangy, chilling libation so cold, you develop frostbite from picking up the metal bowl: Koreans sure know how to do summer.
But how peeved am I to find that on the very last week of August, this bowl from the original Yuchun on Olympic Boulevard—L.A.’s undisputed place for the refreshing tonic—is my very first taste of summer. Guess I gotta start working on my tan.
