You know you've been here too long when you start to forget what real food is like, and how much it costs.

I happened upon a menu on the web, and figured I'd post it, along with another favorite.

It would be interesting to compare notes and see what menus are like from other countries. And sometimes I like to show them to students or teachers. They really don't know what food is like outside Korea.

Here's an interesting one with some details about ingredients and prices.

"So, what do you eat for breakfast in America?" See:

And here's lunche:

The club sandwich sure sounds great. But I think they've got the chicken fried steak wrong. Never seen one on a bun. I mean, you're battering and frying it. Then you smoother it in white gravy. And then a bun, too? And it seems a bit small.

One of my favorites is Ryan's.

Here's the menu in pdf:

For you greasy spoon fans, here's a classic lunch diner.

Nice selection of soda.

They claim to have invented the hamburger, btw.

You can get pretty decent western food in Thailand. Great German Italian
good British Pub grub too. There's a really awesome Irish pub on Walking street in Pattaya.

I had some amazing pizza in Thailand. But I still couldn't get a good hamburger. That Mike's place in Chiang Mai is overrated.

mike's original may not be heaven on a bun, but it still kicks the shit out of what's on offer in seoul.

One of the first places I'm hitting when I go home. Southwestern eggrolls, skillet queso, and Cajun chicken pasta...this is torture.

I think this place serves mainly "American" style food. Great soups and appetizers and rolls with honey butter.

I am so ready for a trip home.
