Author Notes

Bibimbap is a known signature dish to Koreans and devotees of Korean food. They come in hordes as one can see here in the Northern Virginia area. There are 24-hour Korean full service restaurants, not take out ones. Parking lots of these restaurants are full almost anytime of the day, except from 9:00AM to 11:00AM. It’s hard to know what time of the day there is no waiting line during lunch or dinner hours. Unfortunately, these restaurants don’t accept reservations. One has to be a dyed in the wool Korean food fanatic comme moi to be in line even though there's a lot of these restaurants in Northern Virginia (NoVA---Inn-NoVA) area, especially in Annandale, dubbed as Korean town of NoVA.
