Daily News | Soul & Busan, Jenn Kim’s Korean American pop-up restaurant, returns for run at Taco Heart
It’s a “mash-up of what I like to eat, what Korean American means to me and my tastebuds,” as she puts it.
This outing will run from Friday, Feb. 17 through Monday, Feb. 20 at Taco Heart, 1001 E. Passyunk Ave. includes Miggy’s K-fried chicken sandwich as well as a marinated and breaded tofu version of that sandwich. This is not typical KFC. “The Korean chicken sandwiches I’ve had is a fried chicken sandwich covered in some kind of Korean sauce and then put in a sandwich,” Kim said.
Rather than sauce it up, she marinates and serves it as a cutlet, much like katsu. It’s also a Mexican-Korean hybrid. “When my chicken sandwich started off, it was inspired by my husband, Miguel,” Kim said. Hence the “Miggy” in the sandwich name. “He’s originally from Oaxaca, and his favorite traditional food is a fried chicken Milanese torta. [He said] ‘wouldn’t it be cool if we did the Korean version of a torta?’” That explains the hint of lime in the marinade, an atypical Korean ingredient.Sides include korokke , fries, and Korean-spiced French fries, plus a tangy oi muchim cucumber salad.
It’s walk-in service from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday; Monday hours are noon to 8:30 p.m. Soul & Busan happens to be Kim’s passion project;In her last pop-ups, she said, she was focusing on the Korean food her mother made while she was growing up in Denver and New York. “This time, I’m just kind of switching it. This is going to be quick and easy and fun,” she said.Any plans to drop architecture for the restaurant business? “I can answer that after this pop-up,” she said.
