I'm just imagining Will Smith in my head, looking up from the table with his trademark sardonic smirk, delivering that very line. As we hear the chorus go "Na, na, na, na, na-na!" "Gettin' jjigae with it." Love it. Oh, I’m not groaning at all!

I’m just imagining Will Smith in my head, looking up from the table with his trademark sardonic smirk, delivering that very line.

As we hear the chorus go “Na, na, na, na, na-na!”

“Gettin’ jjigae with it.”

Love it.

The title came from an incredibly bad joke learned from some LA denizens: Will Smith and a friend go to a Korean restaurant and sit down. The friend has to get up to go take a phone call, and asks Smith to order some bibimbap for him. When he gets back, the table is filled with banchan, and there's a delicious looking bowl of bibimbap in front of his seat. But, when he looks across at Smith's side of the table, the only thing there is a small bowl of plain rice. The friend asks Smith why he's only eating rice, to which Smith replies, "Oh, don't worry. I'm gettin' jjigae wit' it." Ah, we can hear the groans now! Karl – thanks for pointing that out, it’s been corrected both here and on http://www.fatmanseoul.com

I finally have a term which combines my man-love for Will Smith and my food-love for Jjigae. A million thanks good sir. Sorry, but I’m stealing “Getting Jjigae with it”.
