New KOCE special features Aliso Viejo

A new television special by a local production company will feature residents of Aliso Viejo and a home in the Laguna Audubon neighborhood.

"A Taste of Korea" follows a woman as she prepares a surprise Korean-themed party for her husband, with a little help from a Korean chef. The show's hosts travel all over Orange County, learning about various cultural dishes and the secrets to preparing them, with the trip ultimately ending in a party scene filmed with local extras in the Aliso Viejo home.

It will debut on KOCE at 10:30 a.m., Monday, Dec 1 and continue to run throughout the week. The show was produced by Aliso Viejo-based N3 Video Productions.

"We want to educate Orange County folks about Korean food and culture," producer Walter Avillanoza said, adding he knew little about the country's culinary traditions before starting the show. "Now, I go to the Korean restaurants we featured on the show for lunch all the time."

Viewers will learn how to make bibimbap, a Korean mixed vegetable dish, and the popular galbi, or Korean ribs.

"The other word our show teaches you to say is 'masisseoyo,' which means 'delicious,'" Avillanoza joked.
