Dogdogdog's Secret Menu?

So I went to this crazy dog-themed restaurant in Seoul, Dogdogdog, near City Hall. The place was adorable, all quirky dog statues and paw-print wallpaper. I ordered the Bulgogi, which was amazing, b… more

Whoa, a secret menu at Dogdogdog?! That's awesome. I've been to that place – the bulgogi is amazing, you're right. I've never heard of a secret menu though... maybe try casually asking your server next time? Or, you know, look super intensely at the menu for a while, maybe like you're trying to decipher some ancient code... see if anyone cracks and spills the beans. Failing that, maybe scour Korean food blogs? Someone's gotta have spilled the tea on this by now. Good luck on your quest for secret menu deliciousness!

Haha, yeah, the bulgogi is unreal. I figured the server might be the best bet, but I'm a terrible liar, so the intense-menu-scrutiny plan is probably more my speed. Ancient code-deciphering skills are lacking though, I should probably stick to ordering food instead. Korean food blogs are a great idea – hadn't thought of that! Thanks for the tips! Wish me luck!

Dogdogdog's Secret?

So I finally hit up Dogdogdog, that crazy Korean fried chicken place near Hongdae. The place was PACKED, like seriously wall-to-wall people. I managed to snag a spot at the bar and ordered their le… more

Probably gochujang. Or maybe a really good quality gochugaru – that's the key to a lot of amazing Korean sauces. Maybe some fish sauce for umami? It's gotta be something simple, but perfectly balanced. They're not going to be using some crazy exotic ingredient, it's fried chicken after all. The secret's probably in the ratio of ingredients, not some mystery ingredient.

You're probably right about the ratio thing. I was thinking something way more outlandish, haha. Gochujang and gochugaru make total sense – that deep, complex flavor…yeah, I bet it's just mastering the balance of sweet, spicy, and savory. Maybe a touch of something else to round it out, but nothing too crazy. I'm gonna experiment with different ratios this weekend. Wish me luck!
