Yeah, an LA eats thread would be good. I was mostly there by myself or with employees that didn't need an expensive dinner. Have an extensive list for budget dinning in LA.
I'd PM Cigarzman. He lives in Tampa Bay area, and could give you a good reco. Wife and I went to Yoder's in Sarasota after seeing it on TV. Meh...T
My favorite in LA is Mel's drive in on sunset. The food is classic American diner food and is pretty good. What makes it my favorite is location. Its central to all the shopping happenings, etc. They have great parking. Outside seating. You get good eye candy, women and cars. I usually drive to LA from here. Its only 20 hrs. I pick up the 101 from San Fran down, great scenery, fun twisty turns. The I-5 is a little boring. Basically just gas stations from Redding to Sacramento. Hungry on one drive and not in McDonalds mood. I stopped at the Rolling Hills Casino in Corning CA. Best buffet ever. Prime rib was amazingly good. I ever took my Dad there to prove how good it was!
I'll have to think about it now. Its been a couple of years. We had people who checked our product in stores. You can't rely on brokers, they tend to focus on established brands and you can't depend on store managers. They run out of product and its not a established brand, you lose that space. These people also handed out free samples in the stores. Since I didn't have an office in California. Had to meet them at restaurants. I didn't want a big bill, so met them at normal places.
Cho Sun Galbi is a popular favorite. It also caters to both American and Korean clientele. Good quality. More Koreanized, is Park's BBQ or Kang Ho do Baek Jang. There are tons more.... Sent from my 16M
I'm surprised we don't have more Korean BBQ in Vancouver. We do have a large number of Japanese restaurants run by Koreans. They'll have a few Korean items on the menu, but we don't seem to have just Korean here. At least not that I know of. Tonight was sashimi tomorrow I'm on a mission to find Korean BBQ
Koreans are notorious for buying established places here and cheapening them out to turn a profit. Sadly, Ive seen it happen to a couple of my old favorite haunts that have since died slow deaths.
Last night was grilled rib eye cap steak, waved broccoli, homemade mashed taters, and another quite good Kirkland wine from Costco. T
The big thing here is they'll go to an all you can eat sushi menu. The competition here is huge. My town and surrounding area, is 150k people and we have 22 Japanese restaurant's at last count. The buffet style all you can eat is always horrible. A couple of the made to order places are ok. Most go under and then another pops up.
Looked on Yelp for Korean joints. Most of the highly rated ones are in Richmond. Didn't feel like a 45minute drive. Plus everyone I know has other plans. Made pork chops and some linguine. A few of our Asian restaurants go through name changes and new owners frequently. Like one place was a Chinese all you can eat buffet. Then it became a Japanese restaurant and then an all you can eat sushi buffet. Its now an all you can eat Chinese buffet. My cousin went during all the incarnations and said some of the waitresses worked at all the different versions. We had an investor visa, I think if a foreigner invested $800k, they could come to Canada on the visa. We think they used the restaurant to get their relatives and friends visas.
+1 Good meat & a tomahawk chop makes for a great show on the way from the grill to the dinner table! T
mmm Korean BBQ... Tonight had to whip up a last minute birthday dinner for the wife, and since like every other living female she loves jumbo scallops I googled "scallop risotto" in the supermarket and followed the recipe below almost exactly. Paired it with a nice Californian chard. Forgot to take pics but it turned out great. The brown butter really makes it. Now sipping a limoncello and smoking a cigar outside while she watches one of her idol or bachelor shows.. desert to follow Brown Butter Scallops with Parmesan Risotto - Pinch of Yum
MMMmmm, scallops. Tomorrow is the Vancouver boat show. I skipped the stadium displays and mostly stroll the marina docks. A few restaurant choices around Granville Island. Think we'll do Joe Fortes, means I'll have their Prawn & Scallop Linguine.
yeah there's nothing to brown butter, just can't walk away for the ~4 minutes or so it's bubbling away otherwise it'll go to far. But that isn't a problem since you're already chained to the stove stirring the risotto. A lot of cookware get dirtied for that recipe (one pot for heating the stock, but I saved one by dishing the finished risotto onto warmed plates, gave that non-stick pan a quick wash and sauteed up the OO, garlic and spinach in the same pan), but it's so worth it. The house does smell incredible. My only beef with the linked recipe is that she says to shake the pan of scallops around "so they won't tear". I got the All-Clad frier nice and hot, sprayed in some Pam hi-temp grilling spray (canola and rapeseed oil) and then gave them one turn after about 2 minutes. Awesome browning, no tearing, and perfect cook (med rare) after resting for a few minutes while sauteing the spinach. If you wanna make the wife happy, make this dish
Last Tomawak I ate it in Vigo. Meat Galicia is one of the best in the world. It is similar to the Angus beef. Its price also. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
More details please!! I've never seen/heard of that stuff. Looks awesome. I found this interesting cooking technique online when I googled. Do yo know what they yellow stuff is? Fat? Tumeric? T
Is fat ! Galician beef is grass fed on mountain pastures. The meat is very rich in fat on the inside, it is important to cook it slowly so that fat penetrates the meat. This is what gives it its smoothness. However, it is also possible to cook so she stays red in the middle. This is what I prefer. Cooking on you to show your photo Tapalalk is a slow cooking that is suitable pheasant, deer and other game. But it looks to be very good! Please read this : Great Steak: Spain's Temple Of Beef I have eat "chuleton de buey" in Casa Julian. Is in Tolosa near San Sebastian in the north of spain and the owner has a very bad temper. If your head does not like, you denied access to his restaurant. I live half the time in Madrid and the other half in Bordeaux. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
