Hey Mark, I used to go to a most excellent divy Korean restaurant up kind of northeast of the city, probably actually up in Maryland, but inside the beltway. They served a variety of very hot Korean noodle soups, and they hand-threw the noodles, so you could watch them tossing them around in the kitchen. I would go with a number of Korean co-workers and just get the normal heat level and still be sweating, wile my co-workers would be piling on the chile powder. Of course, this was before I moved to Texas and started working on my heat tolerance. The name of the place was just 'Best Chinese Restaurant' or something similar. I realize it's not much to go on, but it was most excellent. Any of you DC people have any idea where I'm talking about and can help with directions? - Bill == <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< Bill Woodward (Bill_CCHKK@yahoo.com or wpwood@pswtech.com) http://members.xoom.com/Bill_CCHKK _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
