The ad says:

How about
BIBIMBAP
for lunch today?

Bibimbap is a dish mixed of cooked
rice with various vegetables, beef, garnishes and
fried red pepper paste. It is said that this dish came
from the customers of memorial service and rural villages.
The dish is very convenient to provide, just mixing of cooked
rice with various vegetables, namul and red pepper paste together.


From an Ad placed in the New York Times apparently.

Regular bibimbap is probably my least favorite Korean food. A soggy bowl of limp unrecognizable weeds, gluggy rice , topped off with spicy but somehow tasteless red paste. Garnished with an egg that was cooked I don't no how long ago (cold egg, sick!). There are a million other foods Koreans should be crowing about before they start promoting the abomination that is bibimbap.

I love it.

About the egg - I usually just ask them to cook the egg well. Or go for the dol sot bibimbap, which is served in the hot stone pot.

The best bibimbap I had was in Jeonju - supposedly the home of bibimbap.

I love the crap out of bibimbap.

Also this advertising is very excited! Maybe other country people know good in topic of mixed rice.

There really is good food here. jinjja! I don't understand why bibimbap gets all the attention. I loves me a good plate of mixed bulgogi (half beef, half pork). Also, the egg on my bibimbap is often raw. The rice is served hot enough to cook the egg runny.

The dolsot stone increases bbb's edibility 10fold. Dolsot bibimbap is probably something I would eat by choice. The tuna and salad one is perfectly edible as well. It's just the traditional version which is an abomination.

There are probably a dozen foods I will miss when I leave Korea. BBQ Duck and choo-o tang from my favorite restaurants are top of that list.

It's probably my second favorite pickled cabbage condiment.

Jeonju - The city was regarded as the spiritual capital of the Joseon Dynasty because the Yi royal family originated there.

So the Yi Royal family came from a "Rural Village?

It's hilarious that the Infinity Challenge guys ran this as an ad to promote Korean culture in America, but it's too bad they messed up the grammar so bad that the only thing people will remember about it is the picture or food that looks like an infected butthole and the laughably bad Engrish.
