Happy Thanksgiving--Korean Style

What a great Thanskgiving.  Rather than doing a traditional home-cooked meal (which was harder than expected to locate even the most basic ingredients here), we decided to go for an 'All American' meal of Burgers at this great little restaurant called the "Tool Box".  What a fantastic and memorable evening we had.  Not sure I could have asked for a better Thanksgiving!  Great group of people, that were so much fun, great food and great atmosphere.  It was a mish-mash of 5 different countries represented at the table--many of whom enjoyed their very first Thanksgiving meal (although far from traditional)...it was still a great holiday to share with new friends.  The man who runs the place topped off our evening with a complimentary shot of jagermeister mixed with some sort of energy drink.  I don't even remember the last time I had jagermeister, but it was another unique twist that added to the unusual (in the best possible way) Thanksgiving. 



This is the man who made it happen!
His nickname is "Tool Box".  Notice the
writing on his jumper, "My English Sucks!"
All part of the charm of the place.



This is the crowd I shared it with.

Part of the magic The Toolbox creates.  Every time we go there he gives us complimentary dishes.  They call it "service"--- so they set a plate at your table and say, "service"....  It's a magic word in Korea.   These chili-cheese fries are as good as they look!

My turkey burger.  It is supposed to come w/ cranberries, but they were fresh out.  Pineapple worked great!

"Service" chicken wings, courtesty of some unlucky chickens from his backyard.  There were about about 8 more of these, but they disappeared pretty fast.

All part of the charm!
