It may not be what you think. 토스트 (which is the korean spelling of the word "toast") can come in a couple of different varieties: a sweet dessert or a savory sandwich. I'm not a fan of the sweet kind, as it's usually a hunk of white wonder bread 3-4" thick with ice cream or other cream/chocolate syrup on top. No thanks.
My personal favorite toast place is called "Isaac Toast", only they pronounce it "ee-sack". Go figure. You'll see little tiny storefronts all over Seoul, where there's only some fridges/freezers for food, a couple of grills, and an ahjumma (middle-aged woman) cooking the toast. There's a bunch of different fillings, from anything like ham, cheese and egg, to a marinated chicken patty, to potato. The one I always get is called "Ham Special", where you get a slice of ham, an egg, cheese, some vegetables (I think cabbage?), pickles, and this special sauce. What other wizardry they use, I'm not sure, but I know it includes cooking it in butter on the grill. Butter = magic.

Reading these posts makes me feel real hunger!! (couldn't be cause I've not had breakfast yet). I want a "ham special" for breakfast!!
The food does look really good! You just might have to make all these things for us when you get back!
