Local Lens: David Chang’s guide to Koreatown, Los Angeles [Video]

Chef David Chang shows us his Koreatown: Restaurants for the best dumplings, soup, short ribs and dessert Read our interview: https://expedia.com/magazine/local-lens-david-chang-guide-koreatown/According to David Chang, there are five reasons people visit Koreatown: the spas, karaoke, parties, music concerts, and of course—the delicious Korean food. From his own Momofuku chain to Netflix’s Ugly Delicious, Chang has built a restaurant and TV empire on being an equal opportunities food obsessive. If tastes good, it is good. Naturally, we begin our Koreatown tour by sampling the food. We start at Ham Hung, a restaurant known specifically for Pyongyang naengmyeon, a chewy buckwheat noodle soup. We then head next door to Myung In Dumplings for the freshly steamed, baseball-sized buns; and finish up at MuMu Bakery for an enormous cream cheese-topped iced coffee and taiyaki—a custard-filled pastry dessert. To work up an appetite for dinner, Chang plays golf at the four-floor, netting-encased driving range, Aroma Golf. Then, time for spicy galbi-jjim, braised short ribs, at Sun Nong Dan with local friends, musician Rekstizzy and artist Dumbfoundead. We round off the day with a drink at the kitsch bar H.M.S. Bounty, which embodies some of K-Town’s old-school Hollywood glamour.

The travel app. Hopper looked at cancellations and delays from last summer. So we know what we’re up against this summer. Here are the worst airports at number three, Newark in New Jersey. 37% of its flights were disrupted to later canceled. Number two Baltimore, 39% of your flights delay canceled. And that number one the worst Chicago with 44% of flights getting disrupted. So now is the perfect time to toss out *** couple of travel tips to you first book early morning flights. They are the least likely to get delayed and canceled if you’ve already booked, check with your airline about switching some offer free changes. Obviously nonstop flights are best we know that but if you do have *** connection and it’s tight, go to the gate agent when you get off your first flight and say, hey, can you call the other gate and just let them know I’m coming. It’s not *** guarantee, but it’s worked for me and finally the FAA updates its Twitter with severe weather which may cause problems. Check that too. That’s all for today back to you. Ok.
