Obama Takes President Lee Out for Korean BBQ

Ahead of their official state visit Thursday, President Obama is having dinner tonight with President Lee of South Korea.

Obama, perhaps trying to show Lee how it’s done in the U.S., is dining with Lee at Woo Lae Oak, a Korean restaurant in Tyson’s Corner, Va. Members of the U.S. and Korean delegations are also with them.

While the previously unannounced outing takes the leaders to a restaurant known for Korean barbeque, the menu includes other Korean fare as well.   The two leaders have a full day of events planned for Thursday, including an arrival ceremony, a joint press conference and, of course, an official state dinner.
