Korean BBQ feast

03.29.10

If you’re unfamiliar with the gut-busting feast that is Korean BBQ—well, now’s the time to put on some loose-fitting clothes and head over to Shik Do Rak in Irvine for some cook-it-yourself fun. Choose from a variety of meats to cook, from flank and rib-eye to the popular Angus deckle (unmarinated beef)—just toss the meat onto the sizzling tabletop grill and fish ‘em out when they’ve got that perfect kiss of char. Shik Do Rak is known for its duk bo sam style of Korean BBQ, which comes with small squares of thin glutinous rice wrappers perfect for rolling up the meat and then dunking it into the sesame oil and chili garlic dipping sauce.

Don’t forget to wash it all down with some ice-cold bottles of Hite beer, too.

Shik Do Rak has two locations in Orange County:

14775 Jeffrey Road in Irvine
949.653.7668

9691 Garden Grove Blvd in Garden Grove
714.534.7668

Burgers without the Frills

03.26.10

Everywhere you look lately, there’s some glamorous burger tricked out with fancy accoutrements and a hefty price tag to match. It’s enough to make one just crave a plain ol’ burger: just a grilled beef patty with a slice of melted cheese and two fluffy buns and a side of fries. At TK Burgers, it doesn’t get much more simple than that. The small burger chain (with locations in Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach and recently, Mission Viejo)—delivers solid burgers with perfectly chargrilled patties tucked in soft bread buns (and on paper plates no less) for a comforting, down-home rendition of the classic American staple. Oh, and it’s still just $6 for the Big Bargain Combo of a cheeseburger and fries.
