We have a place downtown that is usually pretty busy at the end of the school day (when there were school days), sharing space with a Korean fried chicken joint. Tea can sometimes upset my belly, but there are a couple of things on the menu I like.
First time I ever had it was in Korea, so that tracks for me. Also, Korean fried chicken is fucking 🔥🔥🔥. But where is it in America relative to the line?

Bonchon is a Korean fried chicken chain. There's one here in Katy, but we also have three other non-chain places as well.

I'm pretty sure if we could just pick one city to eat in for the rest of our lives, I'd sadly forgo the New Mexican cuisine and would easily pick Houston. If there's a type of food that we can't get here at a very high quality, then I don't really care if we have it or not.

There's a Bonchon in ABQ. Learned about it just before my deployment. Delicious.

NOT at all related to the Greek-ish place that used to be in the same location. The owners of the Union Pork Store across the street bestowing their seal of approval in a conversation with cerrano was enough to get me to try it.
the pita was so soft and you can tell they use high quality olive oil. this place, is indeed πολύ καλά.

We have a Bonchon downtown! It shares space with a bubble tea place that is usually pretty busy at the end of the school day (when there were school days).

Got curious and was wondering is it was the same in ABQ. Bonchon closed back in March due to COVID. Booooo.

(They also picked the way west side of town to open their restaurant too. They probably could've made it if they opened elsewhere in the city.)

Pita apathy ruins so many otherwise fine gyros.

It was called Goon.
Haven’t seen it! Will withdraw my complaint until I finally do.
So fun! And SWC was low key and un-Stiffler and completed likable.

Looked much cuter as a horny Halifaxian in Goon than as a /spoiler blond in Picard.

I intended to watch a Tarantino film but got intimidated by 2.5+ hours at 10:30pm and saw Goon and it’s tidy 90 minute running time and remembered this conversation and went for it. Would like to say it was to honor BSF’s honesty in yesterday’s SC game but I didn’t think of that until after the fact. Then I searched on “goon” and posted here (and spelled “completely” wrong).

It was just delievered.

I assume there's a name for being single-mindedly obsessive about something in the moment then completely abandoning it the next? I'm good at that.
