What's this have to do with whether Americans are used to eating big portions?

Yeah, right. . . westerners would never be as gullible as them Koreans.

It's not so much gullible. its more about a term they use called "LUXURY"!
average Korean restaurants don't over charge but a western meal is considered luxury eating. like driving a foreign car.
back home a foreign car means nothing.
here it's LUXURY
200grams of beef will cost you 15000won in a korean place.. but in an Italian Restaurant you will pay 40.000
why? ohhhhh steakeeerrrrrr
I always drunk the tap water back home. everyone I know did.
we only drunk Bottle water when we were thirsty out and about , so we drop into a 7-11 and buy a water..
I always thought bottle water was for yuppies thats all.

It means that you using the fact that we come from a country where competitive eating is a sport doesn't hold much water. The Japanese are still fairly healthy, and it's a big sport there. So what does competitive eating existing in the US have to do with anything? |

the short answer is unfortunately NO!
which is why I avoid non-Korean restaurants (especially around Itaewon)
like the plague |

Well, it seems I was wildly optimistic to expect you to be able to follow along with the thread. So have at whatever conversation you are having with yourself in your mind. |

And this has what to do with your observation that only Koreans are gullible enough to believe that more expensive = better? Are people drunk posting tonight? |

the best way to sum up foreign retaurants and food in korea would be:
ersatz
they fail to deliver in every way and I have yet to encounter one that
provided satisfaction... |

Hello All,
If any of you live in Bundang, maybe you have heard of Daily Kings Diner. It is pretty good and they serve a decent breakfast. Their menu is quite extensive and the cheeseburger is highly recommended. Here is the website.
