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.

A cast-iron plate on a wooden base carries glazed, sesame-sprinkled kalbi over sliced onions, still sizzling in the photo.

Roger had posted soondubu and bulgogi from Tofu House three months earlier. Coming back for the short ribs, rather than the tofu stew the place is named for, suggests the grilled meats were worth the return.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Kalbi on a sizzling platter
  • Caramelized onions underneath
  • A return visit to Tofu House

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A repeat Convoy stop where the kalbi earned its own post.
