Eats of Stamford: Egané

Last night, the wife and I ate with friends at Egané on Bedford Street, and I only have one thing to say: WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE EATING THERE????

I had the dolsot bibimbop, spicy pork (or beef, chicken, tofu or kimchi) with vegetables and a fried egg over rice in a hot stone bowl. It was just incredible. (If you get this, make sure you mix everything together! I learned that this is how you eat it when I was already halfway done.)

My wife had yookgaejan soup, which is finely shredded beef, scallions, mushrooms and egg served in a spicy beef broth.

Our friends had the authentic Korean BBQ experience. Take a look at this sizzling pork belly and then get your butt over to Egané!

I'm a big fan of Egane and too wonder why it is empty every time I go. I've had much worse Korean food in K-town in Manhattan.
Prices are a bit high for the BBQ, but it's such a wonderful and filling meal that i'm happy to pay it.

Love, love Egane! Finally some recognition. Spread the word. FYI, the Kimchee Jigae is awesome. Especially on a chilly day like today.

Where is this place?? I've been looking for some good Korean since I moved here last year, I can't believe I've missed this.

It's on the right-hand side of Bedford Street, a few doors past Bradford's. You won't be disappointed!!
