Urban Swank: The ladies of Urban Swank checked out Nara's Korean Grill Room and have the 411 on the restaurant, especially what their favorite menu items are. During their visit they enjoyed a variety of Korean barbecue items such as the rib eye (bulgogi) and pork belly (kurobata samgyup sal). Each meat at Nara is wrapped with a sauce and rice inside a red and white lettuce leaf; they were told to let the meat be the star of the wrap and to not fill the leaf with too much rice.

She enjoyed her eggs Benedict and appreciated the thin pancakes.
