"One of the best burgers in the city is most certainly the smash burger at Nowon. It’s called, not immodestly, the Legendary Cheeseburger, and features two expertly charred patties, doctored with a top-secret umami seasoning, American cheese, a special sauce with kimchi and Kewpie mayo, and house-made pickles, on a sesame-seed bun. It’s the anchor of both locations of Nowon, a Korean American pocha, or gastropub, named after the district in Seoul where its chef and owner, Jae Lee, lived until he was eight." - Shauna Lyon
