The blog "Ask a Korean" recently posted about Korean food in NYC and in his comments I came to the defense of a sullungtang restaurant in K-Town. He replied by claiming the place wasn't authentic and told him that his desire for authenticity were "irrational" and "misguided." After I said that, he never replied. Until today. Not only did he reply, he did a whole post about the topic. It's an interesting topic and I, for the most part, agree with him. I'm sure some of the people who read this will find it interesting as well. It's topic worth discussing considering the rampant fetishization of authenticity (whatever that really means) that occurs in the media.
