Kalbi tacos are ultimate Korexican fusion

kalbi/galbee tacoIt's another late night here in the Slashfood virtual offices, and as we surf the web as we usually do in our last moments before collapsing into bed, we have come across what we think might be The Food Trend of the Year. At the beginning of this year, all the food fashion forecasters put in their guesses as to what they believe will be the "It" food for the upcoming year, whether it's exotic spices from South Asia being used more commonly in the home kitchen or specific products that will gain some traction. Maybe it will be: Korexican.

That's the fusion of Korean and Mexican, as we see in kalbi tacos from LA food blogger Eat, Drink n B Merry. Some say that "fusion" cuisine was over all the way back when leggings were in style the first time, but leggings have come back, and apparently, so has fusion. At least, it did at a semi-buzzed barbecue in southern California.

Chopped kimchee with kalbi is always delicious, but not sure how it tastes with guacamole!

It was OK, and I grew up eating Kimchee with everything. Even when my mom made spaghetti, the kimchee was on the table. But I would love to try and see. Besides the Hispanic fusion thing makes sense. In the DC area you see Hispanic laborers all the time at Korean Noodle restaurants. Quite honestly I wouldn't be surprised if that's the reason why 7-11 started carrying the spicy ramen bowls.
