What the...?

I'm not sure what this is about, but it's exceedingly weird. Perfect for an April Fool post. Found in fabulous Flushing.

That is a popular restaurant on Northern Blvd. I see when heading to Bayside.

Who says Asians aren't creative.

Wonder What The sign says. It probably says "take over new york city"! Wouldn't be surprised!!

Is he holding a steak?

I was going to assume it was included in a modeling portfolio of that leggings wearing perv in the video above.

If anything, since its an ad for a restaraunt, at least the animals caricatured are pigs and cows and not dogs and cats. Or raccoons and pigeons.

This is part of the "diverse" community in Queens. In other words, "no whites allowed". Get it? Got it? Good.

I'm sure some Muslim group would be offended by this sign. Give it some time before another member of Queens' diverse community demands that it be taken down.

Probably a meat shop. Vibrant and diverse artwork.

Not a steak - it's dog meat! Welcome to glorious Flooshing!

Popular among who...those who love to eat mystery meat?

That is an insult to an American icon. Let's put up a poster of Kim Jung Un wiping himself.

My hangul is a little rusty, it's been years since I did some covert intelligence work in the Korean peninsula, but it says:

"Death to the capitalist running dogs of America!!!

The glorious Dear Leader Kim Jong-un will defeat the Queens Machine Democratic Party lackeys!!!

Death to Seth Rogen and James Franco!!

All your base are belong to us!!!"

Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong

152-12 Northern Boulevard (Murray Street)

In the cartoon mural out front, the man dressed as the Statue of Liberty, clutching a raw steak instead of a tablet, is Kang Ho-dong himself. A South Korean wrestling champion, Mr. Kang retired from the ring and reinvented himself as a comedian, variety-show host and global barbecue magnate. (His latest Baekjeong opened in Manhattan this month.) The banchan are somewhat skimpy, but in compensation there are beaten eggs and corn mixed with grated cheese that cook in long canals, basted by fat that runs from the grill. The meat is gorgeously marbled, but the standout is the pork collar in a sweet soy marinade, like kalbi made from a pig. Condiments are provided, including an intriguing proprietary sauce, but this cut doesn’t need them.

Talking about the Asians going too far. They think this country belongs to them for some obscure reason I haven't been able to discern.

Thank you! I have been so curious that I was thinking about going into the restaurant and asking about the poster. But I was not sure they would be truthful. Thanks!

Eating fatty low end cuts of meat is really smart. See you at your cardiologist. No matter how you cut it, this is a really tacky piece of artwork. And that is the second restaurant that has occupied that spot. Tommaine Tommy's was the first.

After eating here you can relax at "OB's (sic) Cavem" on Depot Road and 164St. It looks like a whore house to me...with lookouts posted outside in the warm months.

The "barber shop" right around the corner.... that was raided as a whore house"... finally closed.

Imagine a "barber shop" that has blacked out windows... that you have to ring a bell to be let in?

Ring-a-ding-ding!
Two surveillance cameras were pointed outside.

Maybe if English signage was used, prominently, it might encourage non Asians to drop in and eat.

Hmmm, the message seems clear, "We do not want your kind".

Korean restaurants come and go in east Flushing. One site has seen over seven in five years. A lot of Korean business owners do not own the real estate they have their businesses in. They rent. Then, when the lease is up, they get hosed with a 100% increase. Gotta move, then.

True. Chinese, on the other hand, usually own the spot they locate their stores or restaurants in. The Chinese also have their own business organizations. Koreans rarely do. Koreans are tied together mainly by their churches not businesses associations. It has been noted that a lot of Korean churches also run businesses on the side.

I've been to this particular Korean BBQ place dozens of times since they opened, it's awesome. If you like Korean BBQ, it happens to appeal to the younger crowd do to the modern style.

Pass by on a Friday or Saturday about 7 and see just how many people are waiting.

Culturally, I get that some groups have not exactly gravitated towards American sensibility or humor, pop culture etc., the want to promote their own. As long as they bring something to the table.

In this case, a great, clean place that caters to regular clean folks of all walks of life.

I'm a vegetarian. Go eat your meat, whatever it is.

There are as many people waiting at Mc Donald's for a place to eat. So what? Beam me up , Scotty!

Do you do food revues for the Courier, on the side?
