Like a Korean, which was recently named one of Wired's Best Cookbooks of 2025. In the episode, Yoo welcomes us into the traditions of Korean hospitality, from the ritual of never pouring your own drink to the three distinct stages of a proper Korean drinking session. As co-owner of Brooklyn's acclaimed Orion Bar, Irene also gives us a glimpse into the evolving world of Korean bar culture and how it translates to an American audience. The conversation explores how Korean drinking customs differ from Western habits, emphasizing community, respect, and the joy of shared experience. Tune in for a spirited and delicious journey into the heart of Korean drinking culture, both behind the bar and around the table.
