Sometimes it feels more like a meat themed nightclub than a restaurant.
We're gonna cook everything.
We're gonna cut everything.
All you gotta do is eat, all right.
Since pectin will kick you out until almost sunrise, it's frequented by karaoke legends.
Random drunk people stand up comics and drink young.
Me who right now is all the above?

And so I read is very large to them.
And I was in Korea, like, a few months ago, and I walked into ah, Korean restaurant, and the woman working there was like, We're gonna need more beef.
Um, but then I ate a bunch of beef aside from stand up young me hosts a podcast with Brian here called Feeling Asian, where they discuss everything from Korean moms to Korean food.
And they know a thing or two about good Korean barbecue way.

It looks good.
Yeah, so this is steamed bag.
That's just cooking Korean food.
I think it's like a great drunk food because it's like meant to be very messy.
There's a lot of spoons touching a lot of shame.
It's like the messy sex of food.
Also, here's a lunchbox.
The lunchbox dish is a throwback to the old school.
Literally.
Kids would bring these metal boxes to school and reheat them over the radiator.
It's quintessential comfort food.
Oh, okay.
Get it.
Server.
Hey, E u.
Go ahead.
Okay.
It's like from my apparent era Korea, even though I never grew up with so nostalgic.
Look at it.
That was good.
You know, this looks like what is in my lunchbox after I run with my backpack.
How the hell these people out here this late on there's still sitting there through a meal.
Party doesn't stop for them.
It's almost as if we're in Korea.
Eyes out there.
It's just nonstop partying.
Thio bars close.
Korea never is.
Definitely not someplace you would bring your girlfriend to have a quiet dinner we owe.
You have to be in the mood to drink.
It's gonna be a little boisterous for some people.
You know that You're gonna be in for a party, but it's definitely fun.
This place is the spot.
This place has the best service, the best quality of meat.
And they're totally okay with us being chaotic.

I'm gonna cry on Lulu.
