Samgyetang

I've gushed about it before, but it's badass.  It's a whole mini-chicken stuffed with rice, ginger, jujube, garlic, and other bits n bobs, drowning in soupy goodness. Winter food.  The sidedishes are grown and fermented in the backyard, and to get to the bathroom you walk past the living room.  The old lady that runs the joint is the bomb.  She scolded me once for putting in salt: "Taste it first!  I know you like more salt, so I already put some more in yours!", she said in Korean.  Ok granny.  Plus she gives us free Insamju, which is ginseng liquor.  Tastes like shit, but it warms the throat.  Free chicken feet are also available on demand, but really, who the hell wants that shit?
