Getting back to my roots.

I have been searching for Korean restaurants in the Washington, DC area since last night. After reading some reviews about places in Annadale, I have located one or two spots I would like to try; however, if anyone out there knew of additional places within the city, I would love to hear about them. This interest in Korean food was somewhat sparked by my work with Hopkins. Everyday I am looking at transcripts from various universities in Seoul and I can't help but think about the culture and experiences I missed when I was brought to America. Although I am thankful for everything that I have done here, there's a part of me that wants to learn more about where I came from. So I am going to start where my interests lie... with food. What people eat and drink in Korean is so intertwined with its history and culture that I think by experiencing these dishes, I will gain a small understanding of my homeland. Or at least I hope.
