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 is set for a long session: a platter of marinated meats, long strips of galbi, sliced beef, a green salad, dipping sauces and the order sheet tucked at the corner.

Roger’s hashtags — AYCE, food coma, protein — say everything about the intent. This is the all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue era of San Diego eating, when a big table and a long grill session counted as dinner plans.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Long strips of galbi
  • A full AYCE spread
  • Marinated meats ready for the grill

Bottom line

Archive verdict

An all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue night built for maximum protein.
