New Korean "fusion" restaurant neighboring Ye Olde Waffle House on Franklin (aka the end I rarely venture to), and it's called Korchipi [Korean Chicken and Pizza] - but we'll ignore that last part since it takes away from the air of authenticity.
An entire tray of food for about $9... don't mind if I do. A plus was the homemade (you can do that? what? props) soy sauce. And it does taste different; it's sweeter... meatier almost?
Bibimbap with beef. Unknown blog audience assuming you exist at all, I'm going to teach you how to eat!
Lesson one: use provided sauces at will
because why not? It's there. It's asking to be used.
Lesson two: mix well
because such care is taken to plate the veggies separately.
If you need assistance with this one, Vicky's offering her services (free if you also let her feed you) (not in a sensual way though).
Lesson three: pack your own fixings
because I do what I want.
This one takes some planning ahead of time and is dependent upon how seriously you take your meals. Start by establishing the restaurant you will be eating at. Decide what you might want to order. This can be done by pulling up an online menu, or if you're really good, you should be able to intuitively figure out what the restaurant will provide and what will be painfully missing regardless of what you order. Do not fret, once you intimately get to know yourself, your cravings, and your flavor preferences... this should become easier. Now, that you know what you must prepare, map out grocery store locations relative to the restaurant location and make a stop on the way there. If you're lucky, you'll already have the desired food item in your pantry. Artfully, pull out the food item at the moment you realize it is missing from your meal choice and continuing eating at the envy of all your company (or at the risk of embarrassment).
Need ideas? an avocado for a sandwich shop, pickled radishes for almost any Asian food, cookies for ice cream, grilled and sliced steak for entrees where it costs extra to add meat.
Except that, the reality is when I tasted the miso soup, I felt like it needed something else... seaweed.
Oh, Amelia, don't you have a large package of Costco brand roasted and salted seaweed leftover from lunch? Why yes, yes I do. Hmm, how embarrassing/abnormal would it be for me to pull it out right now? Well, can't recover from the standing impressions they have of me now. "Oh, your depressing AND offbeat friend?" And it's not like this a five star restaurant, anyways.
Paired well with the bibimbap, too (think...makeshift sushi without the raw fish). Converted Matt and Vicky to my ways. Not so weird now. [This is where Alicia rolls her eyes at me and says 'Still pretty weird.']............

Definitely needed more beef. Maybe a couple more eggs. Wish it was in a hot stone bowl with the sizzling rice at the bottom, but I didn't expect all culinary cultural details to be met at a Korean place with "Chicken and Pizza" in the name. Overall, I was delightfully pleased, and a bit upset in hindsight that I offered my leftovers to the 'rents.
P.S. can we just look at this figure that we stumbled upon after walking Vicky and Matt back to the new parking deck (no Alicia, get back here, don't go down the sketchy alley way)? What is that parking ticket? It might as well be a suitcase.
