“Taegukgi Korean BBQ House” & “The Korean Rose” now open in the old Fuddruckers spot

The popular San Diego barbecue restaurant, Taegukgi Korean BBQ House, has taken over the location that previously housed the one and only Fuddruckers in town.

It’s one of the newest spots to chow down at in Tucson, and it began its construction at 6118 E. Speedway Blvd. soon after Fuddruckers shut down in 2018.

In San Diego, Taegukgi Korean BBQ House has been an exciting addition to the culinary community, and the same goes for its Tucson location, being that Korean barbecue is few and far between in the city.

This is considered to be their soft opening, with a “grand opening” date still up in the air, so reservations are required at the moment. If you’d like to grab a bite, you’ll need to call (520) 367-4219 to save your seat.

In addition, the hours of operation haven’t been set in stone just yet.

However, that’s not all that moved into the space.

The Korean Rose, which offers boba, coffee, snacks, and “good vibes” has also set up shop, and has been serving the goods since late October. Think of it as a two-for-one combo deal when it comes to new places to grub out in Tucson.

Reservations are not required if you’re looking to purchase a cool and refreshing beverage or snack at The Korean Rose.

Taegukgi Korean BBQ House and the Korean Rose are located at 6118 E. Speedway Blvd. Ste. 152. For more information, call (520) 367-4219 or visit tggsd.com.

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
