  1. Korean Grill House: A Zoo On Your Plate

    I’m in a food coma at the moment. After that photo, are you surprised?

    On really short (2 hours?) notice I rounded up some people to join me at Korean Grill House (Queen Street location) and we ate our weight in meat. We grilled everything ourselves — everything being at least eight different sorts of animals/fish. It’s one of those self-grill places with a burner in the middle, and if it looks familiar that’s because I’ve taken photos here before, but it’s been years since the last time.

    And there are more I’m sure, that’s just what I was able to find from posts I’ve tagged properly.

    We ordered two huge rounds of meat plates and Korean appetizer dishes between four of us, with a grill replacement in between. I had no idea they even switched out the grills — that was Austin’s idea. How many times have I been here and I never even thought of asking!

    Ordinarily I don’t order all-you-can-eat anything (Indian is the occasional exception) because it makes it too easy to overeat and waste food, but I nearly always get all-you-can-eat barbecue at Korean Grill House. However, I have to be in the mood for eating that much meat, and I have to be with people who really enjoy eating meat — and a lot of it! Quantity puts off most women, and the vegetarians wouldn’t make it past the door. This means an outing to Korean Grill House is optimal if accompanied by a bunch of hungry meat-loving guys. (Eating with women who are really self-conscious when they eat in public drives me bananas. Are you going to eat or what?)

    I told the guys to bring their appetites. The all-you-can-eat barbecue menu items include: pork, beef, chicken, beef ribs, ox tongue, ox liver, salmon, squid, fish fillet, and we upgraded to include lamb and shrimp.

    Three hours later, we all rolled away from the table. I don’t think we’ll need to eat for another 24 hours!

  2. Bravo Alberto! Viva Mexico!

    BRAVO ALBERTO!

    Last night I brought my Mexican houseguests and Sergio, freshly deplaned from Miami, to Korean Grill House to celebrate the fact that Alberto flew from Cancun to do the Toronto Half Marathon and ended up completing the FULL MARATHON yesterday morning!

    BRAVO!!! Frankly, I’m surprised he could even walk to the car. I’d be asking for a wheelchair by now.

    Alberto told us that the second largest group of runners in the Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon (a total of about 14,000 people!), after Canadians, are from Mexico. He learned about the race from a flyer down in Cancun.

    [Note to self: I should've had him turn to his left a bit (I had no room to move over), because you can easily tell by the shadow under this right eye that the light source is above and to his left.]

    Marco

    While Alberto did the full marathon, Marco finished the 5k, giving him hours of sightseeing time before Alberto crossed the finish line. I think he went shopping!

    Sergio

    This processing makes Sergio, who also happens to be Mexican, look really scruffy even though he wasn’t. He and I were musing last night in wonderment that we’ve known each other for nearly 10 years. What?!? Where has the time gone???

    Have you ever eaten at a Korean grill-your-own barbecue? It seems to be a lot of work, grilling your own meat, but I really like it! And after grilling, I can put it on people’s plates with a flourish as if I barbecued it at home, except the best part is I don’t have to clean a grotty grill afterwards.
