Can I interest anyone in some FOOD?

[Berliner]

by electric griddle do you mean george foreman grill?

I have one in a box that i've had for about 5 years, and Ive never touched it.
I've thought about grilling some korean bbq short ribs I bought from trader joes on it though.

My cohorts at the www.sanfranciscoburgerblog.tumblr.com and I went for another stop the other day at a place called Flipper's. Here's the "Chili Flip," aka a Chili Cheeseburger w/ curly fries.



The review is up and ready. Because we're retarded, there's also now a Facebook page and a twitter feed - @sfburgerblog

Oh yeah, I went over to my Korean friend's parent's house and we had Korean BBQ. That's a great entry point for a dumb American eater like myself. I loved the dipping sauce with the salt poured into it.

I did pass on the Kimchi though - I don't much care for cabbage much less the pickled kind.

This was my favorite meal in Japan by far - Yakiniku:

Right now I'm making chicken meatballs with lemon zest, shallots, panko, egg, thyme, parsley and capers inside. The sauce will have fresh fava beans, mushrooms, artichokes, lemon juice, chicken stock, pinot grigio and a touch of cream. I'm going to serve it over Israeli couscous. My question is: Should I use wine OR lemon juice or is both ok?

I'd leave the lemon out as well and maybe just microplane some lemon zest over the top at the end.

So a broken George Foreman that's missing the top part...

I bought an electric griddle thing and I'm going to use it to make Korean Barbecue.

Do you make your own Bulgogi?

Korean BBQ is my fav. There's a place here and I could eat buckets of their Bulgogi and spicy grilled pork.

Is anyone else obsessed with scallion pancakes? I like them with squid in mixed in.

[Berliner]

Yes, I have been making it myself. A Korean grocery store nearby sells frozen thin cut rib eye for about 2 bucks a pound.

Edit: I don't know how it's that cheap, and I'm afraid to ask.

Hell yes. Whenever we do Dim Sum I make sure the scallion pancakes are plentiful. I've never had them with squid but it sounds awesome.

But you're missing the best part! It's not all cabbage, you know.

[nathansmart]

there's enough in there to put me off!

Another cooking tip: you can make hot pot (what Japanese refer to as shabu shabu) using a deep fryer filled with water instead of oil:

[Harry Bongers]

You can also make shabu shabu in a jacuzzi.

I enjoy imagining your avatars are having this conversation.

I mean, Kimchi encompasses more than the most well known napa cabbage variety. Kimchi is any of the many forms of pickled stuff you get at a good Korean restaurant. Some are radishes, bean sprouts, potato, all sorts of stuff. But, if you don't like pickled stuff in general than I guess you're better off leaving it be.

On another note, there used to be this really scary Korean lady who lived in my neighborhood who always wore a ratty blond wig, crazy fake nails and dressed like a hooker. My roommate and I called her Little Kimchi.

There's a vendor at the Union Squaare greenmarket that had a bunch of different "kimchi" veggies out for sampling. Beets was one. Yum.

Here are more donuts. The back one is a kruller filled with blueberry cream cheese, this other one is filled with delicious fresh strawberries.

[MrDys]

Fuck. That looks delicious.

[Elle_Vignetta]

Oh my god, that strawberry one looks divine! Where can I get one of these?!
