I now realize I haven't been paying much attention…..
To the strip mall where Spicy City is located. There appears to be a couple of new restaurants open, or opening up. The first one, called "Gorilla" has replaced Korean Hometown Restaurant, no more Bondegi soup for me I guess.
They're calling it a "Korean Fusion Restaurant"…… the menu looks like a combination of bar food, a la Min Sok Chon, crossed with modernized/westernized Korean Dishes…..Boo Dai Chigae…. along with Tonkatsu (served with French Fries!) and ramen, and cream corn even…..
I'm not quite sure what to make of it……. anybody check this place out yet?
I also noticed this restaurant in the place of Seafood Island. I'm not quite sure if they've opened yet.
All in the strip mall at 4690 Convoy.
You never know what you'll find at 99 Ranch Market:
I was picking up some lamb to make Cumin Lamb, when something grabbed my attention….. I literally did a double take.
Was it what I thought it was?
You bet…. plus it was on sale!
In case you have a problem finding this…… it located right next to the, ahem, Beef Pizzle.
One of the two things I was craving when I got back from Madison/Chicago:
Strangely, or perhaps not, I wanted a salad when I got home from Chicago and Madison. The other thing I craved was taken care of last night at Sushi Yaro.
Something that I found ironic is that Zo-san is now working at Sushi Yaro. Folks might remember that he used to own Sushi Ishikawa which was on this very spot before Sammy Sushi and Convoy Sushi.
Now if I can only talk Zo-san into making some of the Okinawan dishes they used to serve at Ishikawa!
I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
