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.

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.

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

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.

Bummer you have to drive so far. Looks wonderful. But try a combination of meat and vegies, ya got two types of teeth that perform different functions, don't forget the molars, cow.
