Scotch and Korean BBQ. Match made in heaven.

Waiken and I hit a Johnnie Walker tasting in Chicago last night. The 1.5 hour event consisted of a half hour of free Johnnie Walker drinks. Waiken started out with a Rusty Nail, I tried a Manhatten. Both sucked big time. It wasn't the scotch it was the other stuff that is in those drinks. We managed to choke down half of the drink and went back for something that was actually drinkable. The scotch and tonics we got were far better than the previous round. Next the staff let us into a room with rows of tables, at each table was a place mat with 5 flights of scotch. Two were of Johnnie Walker Black Label and the other three were of scotches that are blended to make the black label. We learned about the legs, nose, and finish of the scotch. If this sounds familiar they the same terms that wine tasters use. It was interesting tasting the flavors of the scotch separately and to learn about its distilling process. Once the presentation and tasting was over we got a little gift. It is a pin with the Johnnie Walker walking man on it.

But the best part of the evening was yet to come.

We headed over to the north side of Chicago to a Korean BBQ. Wow. The food was amazing. Waiken was correct in the fact I was totally unprepared to handle the culinary assault I was about to face. I expeted for us to grill our own meat over the grill dip it in many different tasty sauces. I was wrong. The many dishes only include two sauces and the rest are different kim chi, peppers, hell I dont know what the stuff was BUT IT WAS TASTY. You can make your own lettuce wraps with the grilled meat and throw stuff on from the various dishes. I will be back there as soon as the opportunity arises that is a fact.

I didn't eat today until pho at 730. It took 24 hours for the KBBQ love to leave my bloodstream.
