Prepare it, then eat it

Korean chains the preparing verb onto 먹다 where English would use a preposition or nothing at all: 감튀에 식초 뿌려서 먹어본적 없는 것 같아요 'I've never had vinegar on my fries', literally sprinkled it and eaten it. The chain can be any step that gets the food to you — 셀프바에서 가져와서 먹어야 되는 곳 'a place where you fetch it yourself and eat', 오늘 점심 밖에 나가서 먹을래? 'shall we go out for lunch today?'
