ZenKimchi

ZenKimchi was started in early 2004. The Food Journal came about because Joe McPherson wrote so much about food in his diary blog that it was becoming a food blog. At the time, there was only one English language food blog in Korea, the original Fatman Seoul, but Mr. Fatman stopped posting in 2005. Joe picked up the slack by creating the ZenKimchi Korean Food Journal in October 2005. ZenKimchi is now Korea's longest running food blog. Other Korean food blogs have come along to join us, and it's a great community. ZenKimchi has been featured in The New York Times, Korean and international newspapers and magazines, all the major Korean TV stations,Lonely Planet and the Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. ZenKimchi Korean Food Journal is the only Korean food site linked on Bon Appetit's Epicurious blog. It was also voted one of the Top Ten Food Blogs of 2011 by the New York based food site Friends Eat. ZenKimchi currently holds a strong presence in social media with the highest number of Twitter followers of any Korean food Twitter account. We now have over 200 recipes, a great collection of restaurant reviews, and an encyclopedia of information on Korean food. Through this site, we have also met some awesome people.
