I went out to a Korean BBQ restaurant with my sister and brother-in-law last night, and knew I was going to have a problem the minute I sat down. The chairs had arms that dug into my thighs something fierce. Nobody else in the restaurant had an issue. But then, I was by far the fattest person there.
So I asked the server if they had a chair without arms. It took a few minutes, but eventually she and another server managed to find one and bring it over. They were super nice about the whole thing. I would have endured the pain of bruised thighs for the sake of delicious food, wouldn’t be the first time, but I’m so glad I didn’t have to.
Oh, and the food was AMAZING.
It was a true feast with four meats, at least a dozen banchan (little side dishes), a savory vegetable pancake, salad, and kimchi stew. Best Christmas gift ever!
