I like baseball and I write about it for MLB.com. Special focus on the World Baseball Classic, culture, and freaky little oddities. I also like rock n roll.
Recently I had the chance to eat at Byung-hyun Kim's award-winning German sausage restaurant, Metz Hannam. Here is his healthier take on Budae-jjigae, or Korean Army Soup.

Talked a little World Baseball Classic and my projected Team USA lineup on TV in Japan recently. I assume the translation makes me sound smarter AND look more handsome, too.
Small selection from the piece if you understand Japanese!
