Korean BBQ

Holy cow.

I've had a food first tonight. It was one of my friend's Birthdays out here and he wanted to go to a Korean Barbecue restaurant. I've heard about them before, but never actually been to one.

The concept is that in the middle of your table, there is a little stove/griddle. Most of the places are pay one price, all you can eat. So, once you're seated, you order a bunch of different kinds of meat and your waiter brings them over to you, raw. From there, you and your dinner mates slap the meats onto the grill and cook it yourself.

Let me tell you - if you have a chance to do it, DO IT.

The meat is extremely tender and excellently seasoned. Yum.

And the variety? Don't even get me started. Tonight I had, bulgogi (korean pork), rib eye, beef tongue, spicy pork, bbq chicken, rib meat, pork belly, pork neck, and probably a couple other things - different types of beef.

On top of all these, you also get rice, kimchi, salad, sprouts, some sort of potatoes, a korean pancake which is like a potato pancake, and some other stuff I wasn't even sure of what it was.

Best part about all this though? Since you're cooking your food and it's bottomless, you go at your own pace and get to talk with everyone at the table. It's relaxing and really nice to just go nice and slow, smelling your food, chatting it up with good company.

I'll definitely be doing this again. As should all of you.
