Nau speak: Las Vegas: Lunch at Island Style and exciting new prospects

Believe it or not, there's a pretty good Korean population in the city of Las Vegas and their need for good food ripples throughout the community in an assortment of delicious restaurants. Whether you're choosing to do your shopping at Wholesale Mart off of Karen and Maryland Parkway or Greenland Supermarket off of Rainbow and Spring Mountain, there's plenty of grocery stores to get your fix of bulgogi and kimbap supplies and the list of restaurants feeding the community is endless and ever-changing. On one of our many trips to the Springs Preserve I happened to notice a small restaurant on Sahara who's sign simply advertised Chinese-Korean food... after living in Seoul for six months and the previous visit to Korea in 2014 that inspired a deep-seated love of all-things Korean that remains to this day, finding such a restaurant was a happy happy thing. Whether it's a big savory bowl of jjajangmyun waiting to mixed up and devoured with crunchy pickled radish and eye-burning raw onion, or a steaming bowl of spicy jjampong bedazzled with shellfish and tasty greens waiting to be slurped up, I love pretty much any food I've encountered in Korea. The South Korean versions of Chinese dishes are no exception, and have proliferated throughout Seoul for years and years. While working in Korea there were a couple of instances where we ordered food to be delivered, as delivery is one of the great blessings of living in the Seoul metropolitan area- damn near every food imaginable can quite literally be delivered anywhere. Want fried chicken by the sea? Done. McDonald's at the park? You got it, oppa! America still has a ways to go when it comes to catching up to the ease and low-cost of the prolific food delivery system through Seoul. Of course, our public transportation and train systems are also several decades behind, too, so what can I really expect? I guess when your country spends all it's money on engaging in endless wars overseas instead you have less money for infrastructure, right? But I digress...food porn! So much food porn!
