Kimchi Kielbasa Sausage Is the Perfect Korean-Polish Dish - K-Town 

This place is one of the best eateries in North America. My family immigrated from Poland in the 60-70's, so I'm very familiar with Polish flavors. You wouldn't believe how great the marriage is with Korean cuisine. They're like soul mates that come together to make each other 100x better.

7 years I've worked with Korean guys in Poland and tasted a lot of Korean cosine. After about 2-3 weeks of food sharing as it is cooked traditionally in our countries we just started mix an match. Polish cottage cheese + kimchi = one of my favorite fillings for dumplings :D I remember that we were quite shocked how easily those two cosines mixes.

Kolish Porean food

Pro-tip to save a couple bucks drinking in Chicago: at every bar you go to tell them youre from out of town and youve never had malort. Instant free shot.

"How did you come up with this?" "So, I did a lot of RnD, ate a lot of Polish sausages."

Looks good. But that's American food with Korean and Polish ingredients. Judged by Korean American living in Poland for last 10 years ...

The scallion potato pancake got my mouth watering. Not even joking. A little bit of saliva came out.

I am in love with this idea, because I'm Polish and I've been getting into Korean cuisine recently because I LOVE the flavour profiles and i love spicy foods - which I wouldn't get so much in Polish cuisine. Compared to some western european countries we use more spice, but it usually comes from stuff like garlic, horseraddish or black pepper and ocassionally paprika in dishes like bigos, so it's still pretty mild. And watching this one youtube channel focused on Korean cuisine I started noticing why the Korean flavours speak to me so much! From stuff that's accessible both here and in Korea we use a lot of similar vegetables - and I'm looking specifically at cabbage here, which we use A LOT of. Nappa cabbage is really popular here, sometimes it's easier to get than plain cabbage. Lots of carrots, lots of cucumbers. Also a lot onion (we ironically call ourselves onionland a lot), garlic, chives, but most importantly? Noodles, dumplings, eggs. and MEAT. Pork belly especially, which we it a lot! We eat lots of meat, and lots of flavours I noticed Koreans enjoy can be found in polish cuisine. And vice versa, which like i mentioned draws me to Korean cuisine! I've had Korean Bao with kimchi for the first time, and it reminded me of a classic dish we eat here that's also made with steamed buns! It's steamed buns with ribs, which are sometimes paired with fermented cabbage. Doesn't it sound like a Korean dream?

Wow Polish Bigos/kimchi king of umami I make a batch every week .Sorry not vegan yet...😎

Bugolgi pierogies doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Hell I eat kimchi with everything. Even made nacho cheese kimchi with bulogi.

I love that they scored the sausage. Super smart! Condiments actually have something to hold onto.

I am a poor student which just had kimchi with sausage for dinner. Surprised to found this is an actual dish somewhere 😄 I would definitely visit, because I enjoyed my dinner

they gotta make a kimchi cabbage roll!

As a Pole i'm very proud od you and this tyle od fusion kitchen.

Probably not likely to win a James Beard award, but those dishes look great and would get destroyed by my friends with a few beers.

Had to laugh at this one. We discovered a few years ago, that kimchi goes great with grilled bratwurst.

No one in Chicago who is from Chicago drinks Malort. No one.

Kielbasa translates into Sausage so when you say Kielbasa Sausage you are basically saying Sausage Sausage. Or Kielbasa Kielbasa, you name it.

Damn an actual reason to go to Chicago and not run from it screaming

I'm a Polish Korean, and I wish this existed when I lived in Chicago.

If i lived there, I'd eat there all the time.

Dammit Matthew, just making food look so delectable. Good job!

Every K-Town episodes adds a new restaurant to my must-visit list! Thanks for featuring this awesome stop in Chicago~

Taking shots like a Mormon white girl

+1 for hipster use of the word "umami".

Combination of food perfect

I thought I was the only one that loves my polish sausage with kimchi

From the way the host paused and scrambling for ways t say nice things, I don’t think he liked the taste of the food much.

mix mustard with the right ingredients always turns out 👌🏼, especially when you go for the fusion you want, it will happen

What happened to the Meat Show?

@2:20: That guy is ignorant af : not only are *there are tons of Asians in Poland* , when Central-Eastern Europe is concerned, it's got the *2nd highest number of Asians, after the Czech Republic!* *Russia* is yet another story!

Wow! What na amazing idea to mix Polish and Korean food.

+Simon and Martina !

I literally just got done eating a kielbasa and saur kraut sandwich 5 minutes ago for lunch😂😂😂

This guy didn't even finish the whole shot.

Buraczki....byzy....... rolada... kapusta modra, kiszona... ogórki kiszone

Yummm

🇩🇪🇯🇵🇷🇺🇨🇳 : can we eat that

this isnt korean food, its korean ingredients are being high jacked by "hipsters"

Kimski is in the Bridgeport neighborhood, which is south of the loop and closer to Chinatown. K-town is north and slightly west of the loop.

Wow ! 2+2=4, looks like a really basic idea.

Sad!

Polish food only in Poland.....

Kimchi Kielbasa Sausage - I saw everything :)

Why are "trendy" chairs so uncomfortable

man korean food is like the best!

The pronouncisation of Malört pissed me off

woooow

I want my Korean food to taste like Korean food, and my Polish sausage and bee-ers to taste like like polish sausage and bee-ers

When I told my dad about this fusion, he was like what the hell

sayanglangangpagkainmgabes😆

This is why I do not like fusion, it just lands nowhere

What about bigos?
