The LA eating trip...and the korean bbq...mmmmmm

Posted about 1 year ago
I am told by my korean friends up here in the bay area that in order to get korean bbq, you need to go to LA. So the wife and I headed down to Manna BBQ on a recommendation. All you can eat for $16.99. We didn't even get past the initial plate of meat. I was so stuffed at the end of the meal that I got Itis. Definition of Itis:1. the Itis: The general feeling of lethargy and well-being experienced after eating a satisfying meal. This phenomena is particularly triggered by foods high in carbohydrates and meats containing the amino acid tryptophan."_I got the itis so bad after the Thanksgiving meal I just chilled on the couch and watched some movies._"So here is what was on the menu that initiated Itis:-Thinly sliced beef brisket-Beef short ribs-BBQ marinated pork-BBQ marinated beef-BBQ marinated chicken-Pork belly (bacon)And you can't forget about all the little dishes of "pan chan". These include kim chee, potato salad, jap chae (noodles)...the list goes on. I was in heaven!I am still working this meal off and it has been a couple of days. I used to be able to pack away the meat back when I was in high school and into college. My 31 year old body is now telling me the veggies are the way to go. Fiber is my friend.

  1. gympumpkin says Yum! I haven't had Korean BBQ for a long time, and now I have a taste for it. I can't think of the itis without thinking of the episode of The Boondocks where grandad starts a restaurant.

  6. Dale says Methinks it's a good thing I've not experienced Korean BBQ, or I'd be drooling all over my laptop.

  8. asrati says The smell of fat burning over an open flame is a smell to cherish. walkingthecow: Keep the meat faith, bro. Just start drinking Psyllium husks (generic Metamucil) every other day.
