Welcome

Food has always been a big part of my life. Being born into a rather food-obsessed family, with a mother who took the time to cook everything from scratch, I was constantly surrounded by authentic home-cooked Korean Food as a child. More about Judy

Challenger Chef Katsuji Tanabe’s @katsujitanabe bravado is as big as his desire to take down Bobby Flay’s Titans! Calling himself the “bridesmaid” of cooking competitions, he is desperate for his first big win, and it’s up to me, judge Judy Joo to decide if it’s his turn for victory.

Premiering Tuesday, September 3rd at 9pm EST – “Titans vs Katsuji Tanabe”

@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageKoreans are known to drink… a lot. And, as a result, we take our hangover cures seriously, and nothing does the trick like a warm bowl of Haejang-Guk. 

Translated as “soup to chase the hangover,” this comforting dish is crafted with dried Napa cabbage, assorted vegetables, and meat, all simmered in a warming beef broth. A common variety of this hearty stew boasts cubes of congealed ox blood (like black pudding). It is a “soup to get sober”, but it is also eaten for a normal meal.  My dad loves the version sold at Gammeeok in Fort Lee, NJ.  It has become a family ritual to stop here for this soup on our way back from NYC. @gameeok_ny_nj (I usually just get the bibimbap!)
