Re: korean food renders all other food tasteless.
Daver,
When I was in Seoul, there was ton of sushi everywhere. They even sold it in 7/11. It was also very cheap. A 30 piece platter was like 12 USD in little Mom and Pop places.

I cant believe you let him get away with that. I would have just told him politely that he is not ordering sushi.

If you mean "Geh Goh Ghi", that is "dog meat." Dog meat is typically prepared in a dish called Boh Shin Tang. Having said that, you are going to have a very difficult time finding any place in the US serving dog meat. (I might be wrong on this, for all I know it might be found easily in CA... But anywhere else, and I guarantee you you won't find it.) If you meant Dweh Ji Goh Ghi, that just means pork. It's just like Bul Goh Ghi, except it is pork and not beef, and it is typically prepared a little spicier (where as BGG is prepared with soy sauce / sesame oil / sugar, giving it a milder sweeter flavor).

BTW, Korean BBQ's seem like a very simple restaurant to run. You dont need much in terms of utilities in the kitcheen. Most of the side dishes can be kept over night. I dont know how popular these are outside of California and NYC??? [/ QUOTE ] What you say would be 100% true if all they served was bbq, but instead what you say is like 50% true because korean bbq restaurants often serve a good number of dishes that are not bbq. So, this makes running it more similar to a regular restaurant.

Re: korean food renders all other food tasteless.
Koreans,
When you order bbq, you will sometiems get one sauce which is a type of vinegar which onions sliced in the middle, and another sauce which is yellow and has alot salt inside of it. I think this is seasame oil? There is a third sauce, which has a texture like mustard but it is brown and looks sort of like peanut butter. I am not sure how to descibe the flavor. Can you please confirm how to prepare each of these sauces?

I dont think the lack of these other dishes would really keep other people away would it? Whenever I order BBQ, we will usually order one soup to go with it. I find it impossible to eat BBQ and a dish together.
