Try this: Oxbone Soup
Uhm, yea. I was really not humble about this Sandy Storm. It was only today that everything was working 100%, internet, power, heat, all that…You know I thought this was another Irene ordeal and was like, yea I’m sure something bad is going to happen. Oh boy bad things did happen. And now it’s freezing and snowing and there are still people without power that I just can’t even deal with that either because I feel like I don’t want to have power either unless I know everyone has it.
Never in my life have I experienced this before, and it was worse because there was real work I needed to do and couldn’t do because everything I do either involves internet or machines. For 6 days I had no heat, light, and food all gone too because fridge was dead. Luckily I had the means to head to the spa for some R&R but I was also grateful to have a dry bed and a roof over my shoulders. Hotels were all booked, didn’t feel like putting out friends either.
Anyway, on the 2nd or 3rd day of this blackout, I had already gone mad, but thankfully some restaurants were open. This soup below is of the Korean kind, oxbone broth but with slices of tender brisket, noodles and rice and I ate it at a time when I had been freezing and hungry, so it tasted so delicious, more delicious than I remember…and it’s like a hot stew so it’s just the perfect thing to eat during winter which is why I’m suggesting it for you now in case you are looking for something new to eat. Flavor description…so if you love the flavor of bone-marrow, just imagine the bone-marrow broth version of sorts, kind of creamy this broth and super mild. What was weird was that I had posted this on my instagram days ago and 2 non koreans left comments about how they LOVED this soup and it was one of their favorites. I thought that was so weird because most non koreans go for the bbq and are like yea I just ate ‘KOREAN’ food..uh, sure pal! I just think that’s laughable obviously because korean bbq is one of the most boring korean things you can eat, but nonetheless I was happy to see that maybe this soup is more common than I think, amongst non koreans at least. Okay so enough of my rambling..try it! Address to a location here.


I love this. I remembered it being one of the first things I ate in New York. 5am in the morning.
Wow, glad to know you did OK even with the whole natural catastrophe thing and that you’re already on your feet and getting things back on track!
That does look like an awesome comfort soup, hum. I don’t think there’s such a thing as a korean restaurant over here though, so I might have to try that when travelling abroad.

Another non-Korean here that adores bone broth. There is a Cafe Duke in SoHo that used to make their short-order kimchi jjigae with a proper milky white bone broth as its base. Extra spicy and extra hot, the plastic container would be stained bright red and soft by the time I brought it back to the office. Unfortunately, they eventually replaced the bone broth with a simple beef broth, and I stopped ordering it. One of my most missed lunches!
yes, this storm was particularly bad. where i am staying, sadly, we will not have power (as we have not since Oct.28) until (if “lucky”) by the end of next (yes, you read that right, next) week. that said, let’s talk about something positive bc this has been very trying and difficult and i know we both like scotch so let’s change the topic to that. given the lack of heat, scotch is a nice way to keep toasty – another brand you might want to give a go to is gordon & macphail given the types of single malts you like. Mais, speaking of favorite korean food — mine would be oxtail soup — nothing beats the tenderness of a delicious oxtail soup! perhaps you would possibly consider a post on your rendition of that brilliant korean classic?
hope you are well and warm!
Not Korean but I also love that soup! Hope everything is OK where you are. The weather’s just gone below freezing here in Toronto and I can’t imagine how it is in NYC. Drink more soup!
Wow, you’re so whiny! You’re not the only one, if it helps. My house lost power and water too for 5 days, and i didn’t stay over at anyone’s house, but with candles and water and a roof over your head it’s not that bad. And I went to work Wed-Fri with no power…
The irony in your comment is overwhelming.
Wow – this is a blast from the past, from when I used to live in NY!! IIRC, I wing(wo)manned for my roommate and got her the number of a SUPER hot waiter at that restaurant – ha ha!!
Alas, she felt no sparks and only went out with him once. And I was pissed b/c I wasn’t single, and wanted to live vicariously thru her – lol. He was so handsome….as tasty as the soup….sigh.
Janice – no YOU are! (a whiner that is).
Did you even read her post? Where she said she felt bad that her power came back on when so many were still without???
Sounds kinda the opposite of ‘whiny’, huh?
My god, I’ve always wanted to make this! Culinary boner again.
My favorite dish for a rainyday! Lots of great places in LA Ktown.
like in the old times! looks great!
As a non-Korean, I was introduced to the wonders of oxbone soup by Korean cook and YouTuber Maangchi.
