Spring Break
Far East BBQ feast
High on the Hog

And now on to the main dish: galbi. Assuming you have never heard of galbi, allow me to give you the menu definition: "grilled short ribs marinated in special formulated sauce."
Not knowing what to expect from the very detailed explanation of galbi, my nerves sunk while waiting for the food. When our waitress rounded the corner with the tray of food, I thought that I must have gone crazy. At that point, I could see steaming-hot meat and vegetables stacked on top of each other on a cast iron skillet.
Basically, I had ordered Korean fajitas - without tortillas, though. The skillet was stacked high with small squares of steak on top of sautéed onions and cabbage. The meat was perfectly cooked and had a unique and delicious flavor.For once in my life, I wanted more vegetables than meat. I was served with onions and cabbage that were cooked to such perfection, I'm set up for disappointment next time I eat sautéed onions, no matter how good.
I recommend Koreana for a date or dinner out with the family or a small group of friends. The prices range from around $6 to $15.
Happy eating, friends.
