Flair is really, really popular at TGI Friday’s in Korea. It seems like they go the extra mile with the flair.
Up charge is the best!!
They offer essentials like burgers, Korean, desserts, ultimates, smoothies, and flings.
Ahhh… now I understand….
The meal I had was pretty tasty. I had a good old fashioned hamburger. I think I got diarrhea from it, but it was worth it.
Amazingly, Friday’s in Korea is immensely popular despite being quite expensive. Just to give you an idea, a bibimbop dinner at a full-service sit down restaurant is 5,000 won, or approximately $3.85 US. A Friday’s steak is around 35,000 won, or approximately $27.00 US. In fact, converted to US dollars (even with a weak Korean won), a steak at a Fridays in Seoul, South Korea is MORE expensive than in the US. Beef in general is very expensive in Korea.
Most meats have to be imported from New Zealand and Australia, and there just aren’t very many cattle in Korea. I’m told that the cattle grown locally here in Korea are raised with great care, even massaged by farmers. Maybe this is why Korean beef is much more expensive than imported beef.

Why would someone go to Korea to have American food anyway? Just the sound of it is crazy! Go to Korea and have the cuisine from there, right!?
