nari: banchan? yeah. doesn t that just make you want to drink more soju? anthony: is that a hint or something? [ laughter ] nari: oh no, no, no, no, no. anthony: oh yeah, yeah, right. nari: i know, the formality of it all. anthony: and appetizers? yes, i remember these guys. anthony: oh, our old friend. again. nari: this looks familiar. anthony: it s bringing back memories. oh here we go. nari: so this is called maeuntang, which literally translates to spicy stew. anthony: i need it to burn. nari: and it has everything under the sun, seafood-wise. you can find crab. you can find all different kinds of fish. anthony: fishermen stews all over the world. nari: exactly. this bowl, for me, that s the perfect example of koreans in general. we love being together in a space huddled around a bubbling pot of something. anthony: what can i tell you? oh, this is good. you are failing in your duties as a younger sister. nari: i m sorry, i m sorry. gunbae? anthony:
anthony: that describes me. i m not drinking this. nari: no, you don t have to drink it. [ laughter ] anthony: my relentlessly cheerful friend and colleague, nari. she loves korea and all things korean. and wants nothing more than to make everybody love it as much as she does. that s why she brought me here, to the garak fish market. where you find the kind of casual joints i love. i will have, let me see, perhaps the fish. anthony: i want, uh, some banchan. i want some spicy stuff. well, i ll start off by drinking some soju i think. nari: yes. anthony: i m getting this, like, weird sense of déjà vu. like, haven t we been at a fish market in seoul at some point in some previous life? nari: walk down memory lane.
