Girts and I aren’t very familiar with Korean food, but Vanessa, our new friend from NY, was talking about it when we went to dinner last, so Girts and I decided we should give it a try.\u00a0 Of course, I researched where we should go and Gam Mee Ok seemed like it would be a good option: cheap and highly recommended.<\/p>\n
The menu didn’t have that much on it, but the oxtail soup came highly recommended, so we ordered it and a brisket dish.\u00a0 I couldn’t figure out what was so cheap about the restaurant, but what I didn’t know is that the food came with a variety of side dishes: kim chi, sauces, and three long, skinny, green peppers.\u00a0 The peppers puzzled us the most.\u00a0 Were they hot?\u00a0 Were we supposed to dip them into the sauces?\u00a0 Should we add them to our food?\u00a0 We couldn’t tell from the people seated on either side of us.\u00a0 So Girts finally just went for it and took a bite.\u00a0 The first bite wasn’t hot at all.\u00a0 So I took a bite.\u00a0 I think I ate some seeds because what I was expecting to taste like a bell pepper tasted a lot more like a jalapeno.\u00a0 I know, Rob, for you that would be nothing.\u00a0 But for me it was hot.\u00a0 After another bite Girts agreed that it was hot.\u00a0 The weird thing is that one of the three peppers really wasn’t hot and the other two were.\u00a0 We still never found out what we were supposed to do with them.\u00a0 I know, we could have asked.

\nThe oxtail soup was delicious, like comfort food.\u00a0 The brisket was ok, but the julienned scallions in sesame oil that came with the brisket were amazing!\u00a0 We also really enjoyed the Kim chi.\u00a0 In the end we had more than enough food and paid less than $30 for everything, including tax and tip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
