restaurant

I was a server at Green Pepper, a Korean bistro and lounge nestled in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh.

It was wonderful getting to learn about a new style of ethnic cuisine, I just wish the food were organic. As a personal preference, I wish there was less of an emphasis on meat. The veggie side dishes are part of the meal too, you know.

I also wish there was recycling. And compost.

I wish I could do a sustainability assessment with the help of my friends at Sustainable Pittsburgh and their Sustainable Restaurant Program. Do a complete overhaul and highlight the process as a case study. The ground is ripe with opportunity.

I wish there was more of a dedicated space to learn about Korean culture and history instead of just K-pop and random bits of news blasting at you from giant television screens while you eat. It’s entertaining and immersive, sure, but I’m more of a knowledge and experiential seeking girl. I want to be transported to a place a world away and feel what the vibe is like for everyday people there.

I have a few ideas regarding design, efficiency, placemaking, web development, etc. I’d like to share.
