I've been here 5 months and missing Taco Bell. I miss Taco Bell so much, I'd consider a midnight run just to get some. Oh dear, it's good. Lunchtime isn't for 2 hours and I'm looking up Taco Bell and Olive Garden online. I'm going to McDonalds at lunchtime and ordering a big mac, chicken sandwich, and snack wrap.

Ya feel me?

Where is your favorite Western Restaurant in Korea? Any good recommendations around the Seoul area?

I heard there's a taco bell on base in Yongsan. Anyway I never really appreciated taco bell until it was gone. If you want to be rich, just open up a big taco bell in Itaewon.

There's Taco Bell at Camp Walker here in Daegu. I really need to meet some military friends.

I haven't had any Western food besides McD's since I got here. I'd kill for some Chick-fil-A.

that would be a great idea! Anyone know any soldiers who would let me into the base for taco bell? Could I just go to the gate and bribe the guard for some taco bell?

Ukon - I'm a really nice guy and I think we would make good friends. And naturally, your friends are my friends.......

I'll pay for you and your friend if I can get into taco bell.

Soldier friends aren't that hard to come by.

There's an awesome Tex Mex place that has two locations. One at Jongak station exit 3, and another one at Yeoksam station exit 2 in the b2 level of the Gangnam Finance center. You can get there straight from the subway level.

Makes taco bell seem like frozen food. This place is outstanding. They have everything. Even three kinds of Mexican beer.

Tomatillo

Jesus, dude. Just take a weekend stroll through Itaewon. There's tons of places with great western food. You can get a killer ribeye steak with caesar salad and pan fried potatoes at 3 Alley Pub for 18,500 won. You can get killer grub at Gecko's, Syd&Mel's and especially The Wolfhound. Taco Bell is pretty much diarrhea in the making.

I love these folks who're like "jeez, taco bell can't hold a candle to such-and-such place" as if us taco bell whores are unaware that it's not high quality food.

We know it's greasy, dirty, cheap food. That's why we love it. Every now and then you just want to go slummin, ok?

Taco bell still sucks though. If you have any skill in cooking, you can simply buy tortillas and make your own tex-mex food.
