Our take: Seoul food meets Midwest heat: Crisp’s Korean-style birds will set your tongue ablaze and your soul on fire. Bring a cold one – you’re gonna need it, kid.

Wine Pairing: Korean flavors call for aromatic whites. Try a Gewürztraminer or a dry Riesling. For reds, a fruit-forward Grenache can stand up to the spice.

Beer Pairing: A crisp Japanese lager like Sapporo or Asahi pairs perfectly. For a craft option, try a tart Gose to cut through the richness.

Spirits Pairing: Soju is the authentic choice here. Bring a bottle of Jinro or Chum Churum. For a western twist, a smooth vodka like Belvedere works well.
