Ugh. I officially hate eating at restaurants now.

    Mongolian Grill is a great place/way to eat too.
    They are all essentially exactly the same: get a bowl, fill it with the raw ingredients and sauces, and then watch as they use their high-temperature mega-skillet to cook it up in a jiffy. Very exciting stuff. (That sounds sarcastic, but I actually mean it! It’s fun!) They also are pretty darn cheap for a meal out.
    Expect to find a long buffet complete with frozen meat shavings, veggies, tofu, and sauces. Just grab yourself a bowl and fill ‘er up with whatever strikes your fancy. There’s always a guide posted by the sauces for common flavours (watch out for sweetened ones like Teriyaki, etc) or just mix it up and have fun. Then leave your bowl on the counter beside the man with the giant grill and go sit down. They bring it to you after cooking. Skip rice and udon noodles as a side, of course.

    I've heard about those places, and I think there's one near me. (Yeap just Googled it, Ghengis Grill, about fifteen minutes from me). Gonna have to hit them up one of these days, the next time Bug is up here as opposed to me being at her house.

    Hope she's olfactorily forgiving/oblivious when it comes to further-fermented Sauerkraut pounding the beach in her powder room.....

    What are the best sauces to get at the Mongolian Grill type places? Typically they offer The Hibachi or Teriyaki sauces. Perhaps get one of them on the side but would be best cooked in it . Or could you just go for garlic and oil and maybe some soy?

    There's always something to eat when going out. I went to a Quinceanera (think Sweet 16 for Hispanics) and they had rice, beans, tortillas but I made myself a plate of the good stuff. Birria (goat slow cooked with chiles) and chicken chile verde with a side salad. Sure, I got some weird looks from people "What?? No tortilla?" But you just shake your head and smile.
