| What's the deal with Jacoby Burger? Whenever I go to HBC there is a line and the other burger places are practically empty. Is it that good or is just because there is one in apgujeong and its a trendy place to go for Koreans? I refuse to wait in line to get into a burger place, so I may never find out. |

yeah it got some sort of write up and tv report in the Korean media so now its the place for Koreans to go to and be seen. Also think some of it is an "adventure" to go to a place where there are lots of foreigners now that Itaewon has been pretty much been Koreanized |

The times that I've been in there, all the Koreans seem to ordering the same mega-stack burger and then splitting it between the 3 or 4 of them. That must have been the burger featured in the Korean media, because like I said, that's the only thing I saw ordered by the Korean clientele. |

Unless you want to be associated with these buffoons avoid these events like the plague. I was in my usual VIP section of one of Seouls hottest night spots, with my smoking hot girlfriend and a few of my clients, completely away from that loserfest. |
Life is hard for a rent boy - I bet you couldn't sit down for a few days afterwards eh?  |
Haha, nearly pissed my pants. Guy is pretty full of himself, isn't he.

I believe that the next one will most likely be in May 2014. |
don't believe Harpeau, he's nothing but a shill for the people who make money off the fest, he doesn't live here in HBC and has to deal with the drunks/hassles/mess that come every six months with it. I know people awakened at 4am by drunks acting like idiots in street, at 7am when I left to run a race at 7am there were still drunks out. Don't get me on my friends who live right off the street who deal with people pissing on their front gates etc.
Now if there was a curfew and the police actually had the balls to close off the street like they do for the Itaewon fest and put up some toilets, it could work, in its present incarnation its nothing but a college frat party |
Hogwonguy 1979, I simply expressed that i had a good time.  |
