We are doing a promotion with a new website for deals on all things Korean called KTownBuzz (for Southern California residents only). You can buy a jar of our original / cabbage kimchi with shipping and handling included for only $9.75 total (this is half what you would ordinarily pay). So if you a SoCal resident who’s been thinking about trying Granny Choe’s stinky, spicy, delicious kimchi, but needs that extra push, well, here you go! Just 2 more days left…
Visit KTownBuzz for details.
There aren’t many perks that come with being in the kimchi biz, but our affiliation did grant us entrance to last week’s Los Angeles premiere of the Kimchi Chronicles. In case you haven’t heard about it yet, Kimchi Chronicles is a new PBS documentary series all about Korean culture and cuisine. It’s hosted by Marja Vongerichten, a Korean-born hapa woman who lives in Manhattan and pals around with folks like Hugh Jackman (who appears on the first episode) and is married to three-star Michelin Chef, Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
As a side note, we adore Marja’s delightfully down-to-earth personality and have great respect her fearlessness. We hate to say it, but racism is (sadly) still pretty prevalent among older Koreans… but if anyone’s going to break down some walls there, it’s going to be this gorgeous, friendly, multi-ethnic, cosmopolitan woman who makes kick-ass Korean food. We hope her show is a hit!
Check out Granny Choe’s Facebook page for more photos from the event.
