Get the new show!

That's right, fools! The new show has dropped.

See, we ain't liars!

Gastro is Back...

Backlog

Look at the page, not a lot of white space. If you look closer, each dense block of words is preceded with a date, and these dates are far apart from each other. Same with the show. If you look on iTunes, the last earnest effort to crank out a show was back in December or before.

But I haven't sat idle, and I'm no liar. There is a backlog of half completed reviews and recipes I'm finishing up. Don't believe me? Here's a short list:

Joe's Seafood and Steakhouse - Las Vegas
Mesa Grill (owned by the Fabulous Asshole Bobby Flay) - Las Vegas
Commentary on Wolfgang and BK going 'animal friendly'
Providence - Hollywood (I've been sitting on this one for more than a month)

And Ch-Check it out, another vague promise of shows. Seriously. I have the set list in my hands, and barring any traffic catastrophes, we'll have a whole keg full of shows after tonight.

Corner Place Sold

The Cerritos location of Korean BBQ joint The Corner Place, known for its dongchimi guksu (cold noodle soup in radish water), has been sold to a new owner. I don't have specifics as to the new management, but I did talk briefly with the new owner who was polling me on various aspects of my lunch. It does seem like she cares a great deal to bring over the goodwill of business and make the transition as seamless as possible.

I'm holding off on any particular details, as the transition period will take place over the next month while she is learning the ropes of running this location. I usually eat there about once a week, so I'll be able to report on any quality changes in food or service.

Of course, the overriding question on my mind, which I'll ask next time I see her, is: does she have a solid supply line of the dongchimi? I've read on one one other site that the owners do not have the recipe. Rather, it is made by a reclusive lady who sells the pre-made soup to The Corner Place so that even the owners do not know what the recipe is.

Of course, The Corner Place is also famous for not allowing you to take the soup home with you, lest some reverse engineering take place. Like figuring out the correct ratio of 7-Up to water radish pickling liquid...
