“Koreaworld x DC / 4.26”

From a press release:

“Join chef Deuki Hong and journalist Matt Rodbard on an insider’s journey covering the exciting evolution of Korean food through stories of chefs and home cooks, as well as recipes that are shaping modern Korean cuisine, including sweet-spicy barbecue, creative rice and seafood dishes, flavor-bombed stews, and KPOP-fueled street food. In Koreatown, they explored the foods of Korean-American communities across the United States. Now with Koreaworld, they show how Korean cuisine today is nothing less than an international culinary revolution.

Koreaworld begins in the bustling metropolis of Seoul where the modern-day barbecue scene is pushing into new territory with recipes like Giant Short Ribs cooked over hay, and where the city’s third-wave coffee culture is exploding. Readers also visit Jeju Island, where seafood dishes like Whole Fried Smashed Rock Fish rule supreme, and explore the plant-based temple cuisine found in the rural province of Jeolla-do, with dishes such as Broccoli Salad with Ssamjang Mayo. The tour continues with late-night food adventures in Los Angeles and stops in the kitchens of innovative chefs from New York City to Portland who are who are revolutionizing the classic Korean food canon with dishes like Samgyetang Roast Chicken, Bottom of the Pot Butter Juk, Grilled Kimchi Wedge Salad, Kkaennip Pesto, Korean-Style Chicken Teriyaki, Pineapple Kimchi Fried Rice, and Gochugaru Caramel Corn.

Filled with recipes, stories, and conversations of Korean food’s global evolution, Koreaworld is essential reading for anyone curious about the future of food.

DC/VA is a big focus of KOREAWORLD. Danny Lee/Mandu and Angel Barreto/Anju are featured as well as photos and recipes from Siroo and Juk Story in Annandale.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
