Week One: Jin Ju, a Korean Adventure

In our seven years in Chicago, we've walked by Jin Ju approximately one million times.  It's on Clark Street in Andersonville, the main drag that we frequent almost every week.  It's always looked interesting, but for no particular reason we never actually made it inside to eat, making this a perfect place to start!  From the outside, the restaurant looked mildly trendy, especially for this somewhat laid back and homey area of Chicago.  On top of that, I wasn't even sure what kind of food they actually served thanks to the minimalist presentation to the street.  We walked up on a Saturday night to check it out and looked at the menu, which immediately looked interesting with some names that were obviously Korean but descriptions that gave a pretty good idea of the food.  So now we begin our little culinary adventure...
