First Monthly 'Night of Gluttony'

[larryhead]

The first Tuesday of every month has hereby been declared the 'Night of Gluttony'!!!!!!

For those able and willing, each month we will choose a palatable new restaurant in Chicago to gorge ourselves into sweet delicious oblivion. I've spoken with a few of you guys already, so it looks like the first Night of Gluttony will be on Tuesday, September 6th, 2005 (mark it down!!!!). For our premier outing, the consensus sounded like we are doing Korean BBQ, mmmm.... Talking Sandwich will provide details here on the location. :)

Presuming this goes well, then each month a new fellow glutton will get to choose the scene where we do battle against the forces of food. If you are interested in being a part of all the tasty goodness, keep your eyes on this thread!

:groucho:

matty and I are coming to visit you guys, so we should have a sushi night of gluttony.

I just don't want to go to the sushi place in Wrigleyville (on Addison?) 'cause it SUCKS.

[slam]

we've found this excellent sushi buffet; $12 for all-you-can-eat maki! i stuffed myself last saturday.

i'm all about gluttony. korean bbq here i come!

[poofdogg]

ok call me the sushi snob...but i can't quite handle buffet stlye...not that good...i need a master chef....anywho...i did try this rotating sushi bar thing. they put the sushi they prepare up on a conveyor belt thing that circles the sushi bar. you sit and grab what you want as it comes by. not that good. i think it was the last straw in my buffet style eating experiences...

[MigueL]

Suck it Poof you wouldnt know Maguro if it slaped you in the face :D
JK buffet does suck!

[slam]

i think 'buffet' was perhaps the wrong term. there is no large snot-guard-protected counter of sushi. more like, i order some maki, they make it up, i eat it, i order more maki, they make it up, i eat it, etc, etc.

leaving raw fish out for any length of time would probably be unwise.

mea culpa.

good spot. they try to put cream cheese and/or mayo in too many of the rolls, but that's easily avoided.

Yeah, next time I'm skipping the roles w/ mayo.... those are just plain wrong. Otherwise, the place is great. There's also a $5 penalty if you leave any food on your plate (not joking). I prefer to think of it as a challenge. :thumbsup:

[shining_path]

San Soo Gap San on Western Ave. is hands down the best Korean BBQ place in town. Wish I could come, gotta work...

[poofdogg]

I like that penalty charge idea!! very very interesting. and let me say "mayo rolls"??? wtf?? that sounds craptacular!

[hotfoot]

Night of Gluttony is on, fer sure. I'm *amped* for my pick.


Andikay and Matty, et al., when you come to Chicago it's time for Sushi Mike. Talking Sandwich is the expert, but holy shit does this dude know how to make sushi.

Nice... I can't remember the place we're going... but Talking Sandwich was raving about it. Are you in Chicago?



Talking Sandwich.... what's the name of the Korean BBQ place we're going to?

[Talking Sandwich]

The name of the place is,

"Korean Restaurant" (seriously)

I've heard good things . . plus they are 24/7, and they dont speak much english.

lol.. great name, I'm sold.

Hey TS, do you think there is any money in us writing reviews of these places we're going to? If we could paid to talk about eating, I would quite my job. :)

[larryhead]

Has anyone ever had authenticate kimchi (sp?).... it's like this fermented Korean cabbage dish. Very hot. I used to hate it, but after living with Koreans in college for several years I now find it very tasty. My other favorite Korean food was called Duk-Bo-Ki, it's like rice cakes or something.

mmm.. BBQ. Can't wait.

[Diamond Vision]

mmm... kimchi is yummy!

there's this korean place in Little Korea (imagine...) that, when they serve you, opens up the table and puts in a tray of blazing hot coals and grills the tasty meats right there at your table!

It's tasty town to the extreme!

[Talking Sandwich]

Im interested in that . . I actually sampled "The Korean Restaurant" yesterday and it was damn good . .though I could imagine an even better korean place. If you know the name of that hot coal joint, Im down!

[hotfoot]

wait a minute...you already sampled the korean joint? deal's off. we gotta find a new new place.

I'd be interested in trying out this place if DV can recall it's name? :)

[Diamond Vision]

I'm pretty sure it's called Gam Mee Ok Restaurant on 33rd b/t Broadway & 6th..

quite a drive from Chicago, tho.

[andikay]

Sushi Mike, huh...sounds interesting. Is that a restaurant, or a guy you know? I'm up for trying that.

[meatball]

Sushi Mike is the name of the guy - his restaurant is Tanochii (not sure if that is how it's spelled) and it's in Andersonville on Clark. DE-LIC-IOUS!!!

He makes insane rolls - if you get his specials you tell him what you like "spicy, avacado,crunchy" etc. & he makes what he is feeling at the moment. It is pricey but worth it if you like really good maki. The thing is some people were talking about rolls with mayonnaise being gross earlier...I promise you are all WRONG! Mike uses this fantastic spicy mayo concoction in quite a few of his rolls and I promise you it is sooooo good, but there are usually like 5 other ingredients too so it's not like you realize you are eating mayo. We just kind of figured it out because it was so good we disected a few to see what was in them.

Also, what time is din-din Tuesday night? I have to work until 5pm.

Sounds great to me! I just found out my school schedule and starting Oct. 3 I have class on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 8AM to 10PM...eeeew. Hence, this will be my only night of gluttony until like friggin' Christmas, :rant: So let's make this one count!

[larryhead]

Mass email sent... countdown to total appetite oblivion: 2 hours.

:)

[Pnut]

I have been to San Soo Gap San on western and it is incredible! I won't be able to make it tonight, but if that's where you guys are going then you are in for a treat. If that isn't it, let me know how it compares.

[Talking Sandwich]

It was freaking awesome. . . how delicious. how very very delicious . . way better than my first trip . . . i want to drink some epicac so i can taste those ribs again. .

too gross?
