COLONIE, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Seoul Korean BBQ Restaurant is soon opening in Colonie's Village Square at 1770 Central Avenue. The restaurant is 100% women-owned and minority-owned.

Seoul Korean BBQ Restaurant is owned by MiJung Kim, who also owns Seoul Korean Restaurant in Latham. The new restaurant will have traditional, authentic Korean barbecue with grills on each table. The staff will then cook the food at the table in front of the guests.

Kim wanted to open Seoul Korean BBQ Restaurant to honor her husband, Steve Yun, who was active military and died from cancer toward the end of last year. The menu will have 30 to 35 grilled items, as well as other Korean food staples. The restaurant will also serve wine and beer.

The restaurant is opening in the former Namu Korean BBQ Restaurant space, which closed on January 1 after 11 years. Seoul Korean BBQ Restaurant is set to be open Wednesday through Monday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Seoul Korean BBQ Restaurant was supposed to open earlier this January, but they ran into some issues with the gas. A new opening date has not yet been announced.

The draft is three weeks away now. GM Ryan Poles and head coach Ben Johnson have pieced together an off-season that is earning widespread praise across the league. The question is whether they can stick the landing with their 1st round pick in the draft. Current projections have the top three picks likely being a mix of Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, and Abdul Carter. After that, it gets tricky. People in Chicago want to know where running back Ashton Jeanty will end once the dust settles.

Widespread belief has been that the Las Vegas Raiders are the heavy favorites to take him at 6th overall, with New Orleans at #9 also being a possibility. It makes sense. Las Vegas’ best option right now is a 33-year-old Raheem Mostert. New Orleans knows Alvin Kamara turns 30 in July. Both teams need to think about the future at that position. Both have head coaches who like to run the ball. One thing is clear. A source told SM that those around the league believe one thing is certain.

“He likely won’t get passed Chicago if he falls that far.”

Ashton Jeanty is a strong probability for the Bears.

Whispers from Halas Hall indicate they love the Boise State star. It isn’t hard to see why. He nearly broke Barry Sanders’ single-season rushing record in 2024, nearly winning the Heisman in the process. The guy carried his team to the college football playoffs. He’s built like a brick house with power, speed, contact balance, and vision. There aren’t any truly glaring weaknesses in his game. He’s earned comparisons to the likes of LaDainian Tomlinson and Marshawn Lynch. The Bears haven’t had a back of that caliber since Matt Forte.

Try to imagine what this offense could look like with Ashton Jeanty, Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, and Cole Kmet all as options for quarterback Caleb Williams. Throw all of it into Johnson’s offense, and you can understand why some people around the league aren’t wild about the idea. They are quietly hoping Jeanty goes somewhere else. One thing is certain. If he gets past the Raiders, the noise will get loud in a hurry. It would mark the first time in 20 years the Bears have taken a running back in the 1st round.
