helllloooooo, I'm Jung-Ah

Helloooooo all!

First of all, thanks to Song-My for creating this awesome blog. I'm very excited for this to come into fruition as well as all the recipes I'll be stealing from it!

My name is Jung-Ah, originally born in Seoul, South Korea. I moved to the States at a VERY young age (9 mos) and grew up in Charlotte, NC (yes, North Carolina on the east coast). I moved out to San Francisco a little over 2 years ago after graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill. GO TARHEELS! I currently work for Accenture consulting, based out of SF, but thus far, my client has been in Milpitas, so I've been commuting back and forth from the city Mon-Thurs.

As for food, I love MOST EVERYTHING and am willing to try anything once. Although I was not raised with a strict diet, I've learned in the 4 yrs of college that unrestricted eating/drinking makes you feel 'not so hot'. So I've definitely taken some turns to eat a much more healthy diet and exercise more, to accompany our decreasing metabolism (so sad...). However, I like to splurge and have what you may call a 'dining out tooth' (how can you help it in the city of SF?). In just the two years I've lived in the Bay Area, I have definitely expanded my palette a 1000000000x and have tried a bajillion things I've never heard or seen of in lil' ol' Charlotte, NC.

If I were to choose one type of food, I'd have to stick to my roots, any good ol' Korean food. And by that I do not mean Kalbi/BBQ, I mean the stews, kimchee, seafood, fish, all the different spices/flavors...all that good stuff.

I know this is a recipe blog, but just to throw out there, if anyone is ever looking for an AMAZING restaurant in SF, check out NOPA (and their pork chops). BEST THING I've ever had! great atmosphere, great drinks, great apps, and all shareable.

That's all! Look forward to stealing/sharing recipes with y'all!
