    If you're nursing a hangover, the L.A. Weekly's Jonathan Gold recommends heading to Koreatown for porridge. Bon Juk offers abalone porridge, or jeonbokjuk, that includes rice, water and abalone. Mountain is another option for porridge. It has a homier feel than Bon Juk and the wall menu is quite entertaining, Jonathan says.

    review and see pictures at the L.A. Weekly website.

    Bon Juk

    3551 Wilshire Blvd., L.A.

    (213) 380-2248

    All of Jonathan Gold's restaurant suggestions are on the Good Food Restaurant Map.
