Restaurants Checking out the Korean 'cue
Posted by Cliff Bostock @cliffbostock on Thu, May 15, 2008 at 9:51 PM
As I reported earlier this week, The Standard on Memorial Drive is now offering Korean barbecue on Wednesday nights. We gave it a try last night.
Honestly, I can't say it's as impressive as the Indian specials on Monday nights, but we enjoyed ourselves. About $10 buys two thick slices of tastily sauced pork placed on two rice cakes (that almost seemed like rice pudding) and a serving of kimchi. The latter did not measure up to the usual around town. I'm not sure if the restaurant is actually fermenting the stuff or buying it at one of the many Korean markets in town.
You've probably seen jars of kimchi at Publix, Kroger and Whole Foods, where it costs more than double, probably three times, the price at Buford Highway markets.
Spotted at The Standard: Tom Houck, everyone's favorite gossip.
