Second Corner Burger

Hello friends! This post has been long overdue. Since my move to South Korea, I have been on the hunt for a good burger. South Korea has such amazing food and I am a fan of all of it. But when it comes to burgers, there was something missing. They weren't giving me the fullness that I desired. That was until I was introduced to Second Corner Burger. I was in heaven the second I walked into this place. The burgers here are phenomenal. It delivers on all the levels.
The atmosphere of this restaurant is so friendly and welcoming. The owner and his staff are wonderful and always have a smile on their faces. The space has a kind of retro eclectic vibe and they always have the most amazing music playing. I have been known to sing and dance along to it on occasion. The menu is posted above the counter in English which really put me at ease when it came to ordering. I can read Hangul and understand some Korean food words, thanks to my Korean cooking escapades, but having it in English really helps. Plus they have a more detailed menu in Korean.

 



When it comes to ordering food in Korea, I can get extremely nervous because I am worried about my pronunciation. At Second Corner Burger I don't seem to have that problem. They are kind, patient and never have a problem understanding what I've ordered.

Now onto the good stuff, the food! Words can not describe how amazing this food it. For starters, the owner grinds the meat for the burgers himself. That is next level dedication. The meat in these burgers is so tender and juicy. Then the toppings are the perfect compliment of flavors. My favorites are the American Cheese and 90's Old Fashioned. The flavors in these burgers are off the charts. I love the combination of the fried egg with the coleslaw that tops the 90”s Old Fashioned. It's the perfect combination of creamy, acidic and gooey. The cheese sauce paired with the friend onion on the American Cheese is mind blowing. The crunchy, cheesy taste combined with melt in your mouth meat patty is sensational. Everything in them comes together perfectly to create an amazing taste experience. These burgers aren't small either. The burger alone is enough to fill you up. But, if you want more, they offer fries, sweet potato fries, and onion rings. All of them are delicious but my personal favorite is the sweet potato fries. I love the sweetness of the potato combined with the savory flavors in the burger. Also, be warned that these burgers can be messy to eat. You can eat them with a knife and fork to avoid this messiness. I personally love to eat them with my hands and allow the deliciousness to drip all over my fingers. Eating one of these burgers is an experience and I am here for it.

These burgers are some of the best burgers I have had and I don't just mean in Korea. I literally dream about these burgers. The quality is next level and I have never been disappointed with anything I have tried here. I highly recommend Second Corner Burger for anyone that loves a good burger or good food in general. Fortunate for me, this restaurant is located in Anseong, where I live and I eat here often. I know that people often travel to Seoul looking for good food or a taste of home but this place is better than anything I have eaten in Seoul. I would travel from Seoul just to eat one of these burgers.

Thank you for joining me for another one of my food adventures. Happy eating!

Newsboy Burger Pub

Hello! I hope you are having a great week. I have been craving burgers recently. Not like a McDonalds or fast food burgers but a really good, fresh, handmade burger. So I decided to go on an adventure to Seoul and check out Newsboy Burger Pub. I found this place through some of the people I follow on Instagram and the food looked amazing so I wanted to check it out. And let me tell you, they did not disappoint! Even just walking up to place, I was already excited. I love the whole exterior. The brick with the black paint and all of the windows, so cool. It reminds me of being in West Hollywood and going to places like The Troubadour. Very rock & roll. I chose to sit at the bar because that's how I roll. The bar area was really fun. I loved the mash up of fun pieces that they used to decorated. I especially loved that they had old playboys on display. They sure do know the way to a girls heart ;). The music and the atmosphere was great as well. It kind of gave me rockabilly vibes which I really dug.

Now onto the good stuff, food. They have so many amazing burgers to choose from. It ranges from classic burgers, to mac & cheese burgers, to Mexican burgers. Anything you want you can find on this menu. They also have an amazing looking salad and this meatball dish that looks to die for. I was tempted to get the Hell Burger which has cheese in the middle of meat but instead I chose to go with the Mexican Burger.

This burger was amazing. It was a really nice meat patty topped with salsa and a ton of cheese. The bun was soft, fresh and delicious. All of the flavors blended really well together. The salsa was more sweet than spicy and mixed with the cheese and meat made for just the most incredible taste. I loved every minute of it. The burger comes with fries, a fried egg and potatoes. The potatoes look like mashed potatoes but tasted more like potato salad. It was really interested and I think it complemented the burger nicely. I also enjoyed a nice Stella with my meal because a girl deserves a nice treat with her meal. Plus, I'm on vacation so drinks are a must. 

Overall it was a great experience. Great food, good music and a fun atmosphere. I highly recommend you check this place out if you're in Seoul. Also on a side note their bathroom is pretty awesome. That mirror is phenomenal. I need one ASAP. I hope you have an amazing weekend and I'll be back soon with some more food adventures.

XOXO,
