Re: korean food renders all other food tasteless.

Re: korean food renders all other food tasteless.
Donkey - try Hite Stout if they have it, that's the only Hite I really like.
JJN - I think KKF was kind of getting at this... I think you're referring to BBQ only places (if you just go to a Soon Doobu place, or noodle place, much cheaper). In LA, there's definitely a market for a slightly cheaper BBQ restaurant, and most are priced in the range you mentioned. In fact, some of the best ones in LA (Shik Do Rak, Sa Rit Gol) are slightly cheaper than average place (which tells me quality doesn't suffer). -Al

Why is Korean food so damned expensive? Like the place around here like $18-$25 per dinner. [/ QUOTE ] That's weird. Around here you could feed four people with two entrees, a soup, and maybe an order of Korean pancake (pah-juhn). The bill would be around $50.

Re: korean food renders all other food tasteless.
Ugh. I have a working lunch at "The Ram" today. How am I going to be satisfied with my meal knowing that I should be eating all of this Korean food we've been talking about this morning? ARRRGH.

Imagine Korean Food on some Wild Ginger type [censored], then it probably does get pricey.

Spanaway - really? That's cool. In SF, NYC, and LA (places I've lived) Korean BBQ is pretty expensive. Haemul Pajun is easily one of my favorite things to eat. -Al [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, really. Maybe its the fact that those places you've lived are generally expensive AND that the Pacific Northwest has a decent sized Korean population. There are pretty big communities in Tacoma, Federal Way, and Lynnwood. There are also a number of military bases in the region as well. Most of the Korean people I have known are here because of the military, including my family.

I've tried a couple of places downtown, but they weren't super-expensive either. But you could be right. I want to go where the Korean people eat.
