how does it feel not having a Korean GF who can cook like this

overrated: any hipster "artisanal" gastropub garbage. It's all the same "foodie" memes circulating around with a 3 year lag-time because the public only heard about this basic ingredient yesterday, all with tryhard "quirky" decor, hoping that you'll pay $30 for a 4 oz steak that was seared au jus in 10 minutes.

underrated: Korean food. I have never had a bad experience with Korean food, the dishes are always balanced, non-greasy, not too spicy, and banchan is usually pretty good. Easily the most consistent and homestyle cuisine experience you can find in the US. They're also usually cheap.

perfectly rated: homestyle Italian food. Everyone likes it, there's something in it for everyone, I can see why it's so popular while also not being something to particularly look forward to.
