Brooklyn Pig 브루클린피그 - Excellent Burger and Sandwich Bar in Hongdae's Yeonnamdong 홍대 연남동

I have stumbled across this place a number of times and unfortunately never actually ended up going in until quite recently. After trying the food one time I went back a few more times right after because I was impressed by it just that much. When I was heading over to Yeonnamdong on the night that I finally ended up trying the Brooklyn Pig, I was actually heading over to Cuban Sandwich restaurant that always seems to be closed every time I go. Anyways, I quite happily ended up at the Brooklyn Pig.

This place is a little bit like a bar and also a little bit like an American diner on the inside. The owner is a hilarious and very friendly Korean guy who had a lot to say to me as I was eating my sandwich. He was very funny and he had a good energy and even offered me a few free things after our discussion.

I ordered one of the burgers and along with the Brooklyn sandwich. The burger was probably one of the best burgers that I have ever had. I am not exactly sure what the ingredients in the thing were, but I highly recommend you head over to this place just to get a taste of it yourself it is absolutely amazing. The Brooklyn sandwich has some very interesting ingredients including chopped apple and other fresh veggies.

On my second visit I had the Cuban sandwich which had a ton of cheese, pickles and fried pork on the flat bread as with most Cuban sandwiches. The sandwich in this place is absolutely delicious, but it is absolutely rivaled by the sandwich they have over at Little Cuba which contains quite a bit more meat in it.

The thing that really makes the Brooklyn Pig so delicious is the extremely high quality of the ingredients used. You are paying a bit more at this restaurant than at other cheap burger places, but that is because the ingredients that the guy uses are all super fresh and high quality. In fact, it is difficult to even find ingredients as high quality as this guy uses in the supermarkets in Korea. Come give this place a try!
