Left the busy glow of the Strip for something a little more ancestral. Thank you @jerad_king_ & the team at @vikingmikes for having me! Stepping into that alpine yurt is a total trip. Think of @vikingmikes as the Nordic answer to a tiki bar in the middle of the desert. Skål!

A few frames from @restaurant.ki 杞 located in LA’s Little Tokyo. I’m just glad the shrimp didn’t slide off the glass bubble. Thanks @_ki.kim@ryan_br for having me bother you guys for a few hours. Thanks @climbtotim@cbnomnoms for being fabulous hand models. @eater

It was a pleasure documenting the vibrant energy and delicious offerings of @burgerellekorea , a classic American burger joint in Seoul’s hip Seongdong neighborhood.
Congratulations to my friend @iknowueddie and his team on the opening of his third restaurant in Seoul. Watching your vision come to life is incredibly inspiring, and I’m honored to have been there to document the start of this new chapter.

16 coffee shops later! Wrapping up my time in Seoul after a deep dive into the city’s incredible coffee culture. The final stop is @fritzcoffeecompany in 도화동—complete with wooden beams, vintage cinema posters, and that iconic seal mascot. 🦭 #☕️

Three coffees deep at the sleek and airy @doraeknot_mangwon located in Seoul’s Mangwon District. Safe to say, I’m wide awake! Thanks to @ryan_alchemist for the super duper hospitality. #☕️

With this jet lag, I don’t know if I’m having breakfast or if it’s the middle of the night in 1975—but I made it to @fritzcoffeecompany in Seoul’s Jangchung District, it’s pretty cool. 🦭

My internal clock is wandering through time and space, but at least the jet lag feels better at the Suite at Andaz Gangnam or something.

@kaiseki.motoishi ’s Hotaru Ika bento celebrates the end of winter with tender firefly squid served over fragrant ginger rice. This seasonal box features saikyo miso grilled salmon, matsukaze-yaki, and succulent shrimp alongside dashimaki tamago, toba tofu, and earthy taro root.
Refreshing cucumber sunomono, sweet vinegar tomato, and shibazuke pickles provide a bright contrast to blanched greens and broccoli with miso vinegar dressing. A final touch of candied kumquat completes this meticulously crafted display of Japanese tradition. #🦑 #🍱
Thanks for lunch! @kaiseki.motoishi@kazushigemotoishi@sushi_kisen
