Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

The table grill is crowded: marinated meats charring on the grate, foil packets steaming at the edge and small dishes of kimchi-style sides around the rim.

Two more posts followed within forty minutes — scored Japanese sausages with a dipping sauce, then shrimp tacos in crisp shells — so this was a full cook-it-yourself afternoon, not a quick stop. Roger hashtagged it carnivore, which feels accurate.
