California cuisine is an oxymoron.

I kid. San Fran has some awesome food.

Another thing that's hard to find here would be raisin bran muffins. I could make my own, but I don't want a whole batch, and my freezer is full of Costco cheeses, tortillas, fish sticks, and Gringos burritos. Making small batches just isn't worth the trouble.

Screw it. I'm going to try aliensdayout's bran muffins. I've heard good things.

your comparison makes no sense; korean food in the US is still authentic because of the huge Korean diaspora located there. its made by korean immigrants, for korean customers in the korean neighborhood.

you honestly think a culture's cuisine cannot thrive outside of its homeland? like you can't find Indian/Chinese food in places like Singapore that's as good/better than it's place of origin?

I think soy milk is generally correct. Where I was raised, it takes a 20 plus hour drive to get to southern California, but I did go to college there. Just north of that insane asylum city known as LA, though a lot of the people I knew were from some part of that nutzo place and I spent more than enough time there. I don't recall ever eating any Korean food, but there were quite a few bomb diggity Asian restaurants that I'd eat at regularly. Here in Korea? Disappointment after disappointment. I can't stomach the filth; black noodles, all of the cold, tasteless, weedy side dishes, resting your used fork or chopsticks on the dirty table between bites instead of angling them on the dish in front of you, that manure smell emanating from those Jaws food stands you walk by, ugh, it makes me sick and obviously feeds my hypochondriacitc.. ness. I'll hit up Ho-Lee Chow for some kung pao chicken every now and then, or some Korean BBQ if it's a trusted spot, but that's as far as I go these days. The food here is funky. But, the food in California isn't the best, either. I remember getting some Carl's Jr. drive thru on my way to meet some friends in San Luis Obisbo... bit into the chicken tender... and my teeth hit cold patch of chicken ice. It took me a while before I could confidently order chicken tenders again. Glad that sweet chicken teriyaki place was always around, though.

Large shoes are oddly getting harder to find. Last time I was in Itaewon, only one place (good ol' Wangbal) had my size (American 15) but very little choice. I used to at least get to choose between a few different pairs at a few different shops. This is not good. My current crop of shoes are starting to fall apart.
