Seoulmates: A Fusion of K-Town and East LA

?>

If you’re trying to decide between Korean and American comfort bites I highly recommend Seoulmates, a fusion concept in the Beverly Grove part of Los Angeles. 

Owner Christina Hong

Owner Christina Hong, originally from Chicago, grew up with her family running local Charley’s Philly cheesesteaks franchise locations. And now she is serving up a “Bulghoagie”, which is like a tribute to her family. This specialty sandwich has thinly sliced brisket, grilled onions, wonton strips, melted provolone cheese, pickled cucumber, slaw and a kimchi remoulade.

I also had the Kimchi fried rice and Loaded Fries, topped with Bulgogi, queso and a kimchi remoulade. Seoulmates is like a perfect blend of K-Town and East LA, so stop on by!

Julianne

Actress and Founder of Girls on Food: I was born and raised in the suburbs of Sacramento, California. I grew up a typical “McDonald’s kid”. I was very picky about what I ate and refused to try new foods. No fun, I know. My Mom started taking me on trips to Europe when I was a teenager and that’s when my palate for finer foods began to develop. Some of my most memorable favorite meals include Veal Bolognese in Rome, Gyros in Athens, Paella in Lisbon and Duck L’Orange in Paris. While this helped me grow out of a fast food phase, I still eat out quite a bit. I know I should be at home cooking, but I love dining out. I started working in restaurants in various front of the house positions at age 15. Since my start, I’ve worked in every casual restaurant setting you can think of: a teriyaki stand, brewery, sushi nightclub, trendy Mexican, family-style Italian, American diner, pizza parlor and even a BLT themed food truck. I can't help but notice that many of the LA food bloggers don't have any sort of background working in a restaurant. A lot of my perspective on food and dining out comes from my years of experience in the biz. Since starting this blog, I have shot appearances on a couple of cooking competition shows as a taster (including MasterChef Junior and another upcoming show). We have also started producing a Youtube Channel. IMDb page here: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2023647/ For this site I contribute content from all over Los Angeles (and the world) to showcase my favorite fine-dining spots, steakhouses, exclusive supper clubs, Hollywood nightlife and our very own #GOFx events, which I plan and coordinate.
