Runaway Food A-Z : A is for America

Visit the introduce page for Runaway Food A-Z Project

For our first session, there was a heated conversation about what should we choose between America and Austria. Both would be the perfect choice for A, but we decided to go with America. It’s easy, familiar and fun, we thought. And there was a second heated conversation about what kind of food should we choose. After a long (not so much) discussion with a lot of options such as classic American diner, we agreed on Taco Bell. Reason why? What’s more American than a Tex-Mex fast food?


The World’s longest fast food ever

 

#Where? Taco Bell @ Itaewon, Korea. The first Taco Bell in Korea

#Why? What is more American then a Tex-Mex fast food?

#How? This video will explain..


 

#Score? Revisit-ability : 79 (out of 110)

Authenticity 19 / 20
Atmosphere 7  / 20
Taste 10 / 20
Budget friendly 15 / 20
Accessibility 18 / 20
(extra) Fun-ability 10/10
Total 69 + 10 = 79

It was a fine American food (certified by Katie, the local), but I wouldn’t come again by myself. We had world’s the longest fast food ever – but that’s because I was with a fine company and we had a lot of fun. It was too noisy, just like any other fast food restaurant, and too loud and too pop-y music was playing the whole time. It’s normal in fast food world but just wasn’t our taste.

It’s definitely easy to access and budget friendly compare to other American fast food chain. We got each meal (main course + soda + nacho) for under 5000 won (USD 5).

And, I give 10 perfect point for Fun-ability.  Because we had the world’s longest fast food ever. Taco Bell got Revisit-ability point as 79 out of 110.

 

“Go Big, or Go Home”

 

#Behind story

I guess, Austria was in our faith. We had to chance seat after seat because it was hard to take a video in some spot due to all the lights from the window. Third spot we finally settled, and there was this moment when Katie went to toilet… I looked out the window and guess what is right in front of the window? “Austria food&cafe”. Unbelievable! Yes, it was a faith, doing A today and choice between America and Austria. Sorry Austria…!
