As
promised, here’s my take on Dong Juan’s
Kimchi Burger. Mr. Barney of Dong Juan had invited me weeks ago to try it
and our friend Paul has been convincing me as well. So, as soon as my last day
of classes for the year ended, trying that feisty burger was first on my to-do
list.
Kimchi
on a burger patty; I thought it was unique but not odd at all. I imagined it to
be just like the typical match of kimchi and samgyupsal. My foodie buddy Luis thought otherwise though and I wanted
to prove him wrong. Hehe.
It
was a sweet surprise to find that Mr. Barney and his wife Aubrey awaited us for
lunch together at the pilot branch where it (burger affair) all began for me. The original branch is now spruced up, refurbished with new tables and chairs and the signature details of the franchise design. However, despite the polished, vibrant atmosphere, I found that they managed to retain its sentimental element.
