For something cheaper, the USO serves up a mean double bacon cheeseburger that is worht the occasional trip. Being back in Seattle now... I'm able to fulfill all my cullinary wishes that I've accumulated over the years living in Korea. And yes, that means Jack in the Box tacos at least once a week.

Grilled dark rye, extra sauerkraut, a heaping dollop of Thousand Island, and slices upon slices of corned beef piled high. Thick, crispy fries on the side. Heaven. If only it had lamb & beef gyros. Properly seasoned and dripping with grease. Cucumber yogurt sauce. Piles of sliced Roma tomatoes. Wedge, I believe the generic yellow soup is called cream of paste.

As for Koreanized western food (a la <i>yangsikdangs</i>?), I have a fondness for "ham toast" as served at select rest stops and finer sidewalk vendors. Wedge:

Definitely will check that out. If only they had a diner in the Hongdae/Shinchon area... would be a much better fit. College kids drinking all night and other random insomniacs need their cheesefries and coffee at 3am. Very interesting to hear about a possible diner in Daehangno. Definitely will check that out.

I don't exactly hate their burgers, but I was not impressed, either. In Itaewon, I still prefer Gekkos (especially at lunch, when the joint is not packed with wankers). Is Bigger Burger still in Apgujeong? That place amused me (with the avocado burgers). Oh, count me as one vote against Smokey’s. I don’t exactly hate their burgers, but I was not impressed, either.

That's cheating :) I had a great cheeseburger on Yongsan once (Dragon Hill Lodge). Nashville's always seemed good to me but I was usually blasted when I ate there. A burger on base?
