Dinner at "Mama's"


"Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum....."

That's what "mama" quotes repeatedly as she's serving you her famous Korean dish "Bulgogi." You can get Bulgogi anywhere (chicken, pork, beef, etc), but nothing quite has the atmosphere as the little dive restaurant in nearby "A-Town" as the restaurant "Mama's." Actually, I think it's called something like "Popeye's" or something..but we don't know for sure.

She really can't speak English--besides "Yum" and "young man" I think. We took a little trip down there the other night for the sodium and garlic drenched feast. Looks kind of gross in the picture...but it's pretty good. She cooks it all in front of you just like you were in her family kitchen.

You brush your teeth about 10 times when you get home to rid yourself of the garlic taste, but it doesn't work. I guess the Koreans think that WE smell weird?? Wow.
