A Search for a Good Burger...

This morning I woke up from a great dream...I was sitting in Burgermiester in Cole Valley and had a huge platter with their onion ring bacon cheeseburger, half coleslaw and half fries in front of me. I was about to pick it up and take a big bite when I woke up to the cold reality that we live in Seoul and there are no amazing burger joints. After telling Nick about my dream and giant craving for a good burger we searched online and found that the "best burger" could be found in Itaewon at an Irish pub. We decided to check it out and see if it could satisfy our cravings.


We went to the Wolfhound and ordered their bacon cheeseburgers. The burgers were good, certainly better than any Korean attempt, but sadly were not exactly American burger status. They were very tasty, the bun was good, the garlic mayo and crispy bacon all perfect...but the patties themselves were a little more meatloaf-y than burger-y. Still not bad. Their chips were AMAZING though, big and perfectly seasoned and they had light, fluffy ranch(ish) dressing for dipping.


While munching on our food we met some interesting patrons at the pub and ended up wiling away the entire afternoon with new friends. Dinner time rolled around so we opted for the (also "award" winning online) fish and chips, which were delicious and probably the best fish and chips that we will find in Seoul. We will be returning for the fish and chips...maybe not the burgers.
