Kim Chi Burger

We got to spend time in Korea when I was a kid. It was a lovely way to learn about other cultures and flavors at an early age. Korean flavors have been my favorite ever since. I love mixing Korean flavors into different places - a burger seemed like the perfect spot to start! I can’t wait to hear what you think!
