Korean kimchi tacos, a most unlikely hybrid, are usually a marvel of sweet chile sauce and funky fermented cabbage. But downtown at 47 Scott, they're are all about the grill.
The first thing that hits you is that wonderful char, caked into ridges of braised pork belly and bubbling out from the flour tortillas. These are meat tacos pure and simple. All of the sauce in here comes from little shreds of tangy Brussels sprout leaves fermented into kimchi from the house sauerkraut: not exactly that fat slab of chile-glazed cabbage you might expect.

Interesting newsy bit: The tacos are a new addition to 47 Scott's happy hour menu. When Executive Chef Daniel Thomas came on from Scottsdale's J&G Steakhouse in July, he revamped the menu and added the happy hour.
