Eating live octopus in Korea.

The ranks of female sommeliers have grown over the past decade, but do these very women still harbor outdated gender stereotypes?

Only a block away is Casey’s Irish Bar & Grill (Grand, just s of 6th) — just what the Doctor ordered for stir-crazy librarians. Decent burgers & sandwiches in a very casual old-boys bar atmosphere. & the beer is very...

The Paddock is bar with lots of rich dark woods and leathers in the decor. Despite the old-boy's club decor, the crowd is a yuppy late-20s, early-30s crowd and the vibe is pretty laid back. It’s a great place to chat, since...

Oh! An amazing live octopus eating scene in Park Chan-Wook’s Oldboy and an amazing fish-eating scene in Kim ki-Duk’s The Isle.

I definitely joke about that scene in Oldboy. I mean, talk about method acting! De niro has nothing on that guy! I keep wondering how many times they had to do that shot. "Oh, you know what? There was too much shadow on your...
