Beef Bulgogi Kimchi Bowl

What: Beef Bulgogi platter, Kimchi Bowl Where: Jong Kak (18 W 20th St, Charles North) How Much: $8.50 each (lunch special) Synopsis: Do you love Korean food? Do you love the most amazing lunch deals ever? Then you should probably check out Jong Kak’s lunch specials on the daily. All of this delicious food you see here is only $8.50 AND it comes with a wide array of traditional Korean sides (Kimchi, fish cakes, veggie bulgogi, etc). The kimchi bowl picture came out BOILING, and contained huge amounts of egg, dough, kimchi and some root vegetables. Oh, and some pork too. Their Korean BBQ is amazing too. SO GO EAT THERE RIGHT NOW!

What: Flag Pizza (large, 16″) Where: Joe Squared (133 W North Ave., Charles North) How Much: $23 (yikes!) Synopsis: Posting anything about Joe Squared is kind of an afterthought since practically everyone knows it’s a superior place to get a ‘gourmet’ pizza. And this pizza, split into three different pizzas (standard cheese, four cheese, pesto and mozzarella) is living …er, pizza proof of that.

Each section has a distinct flavor, and the 16″ pie was large enough to split between 3 people. Which for $23 comes out to be around 8 bucks a head, which is pretty reasonable. I did note, however, that the “flag” aspect of the pizza is supposed to be Italy (right?) but the cheddar adorning the middle portion makes it yellow, which apparently is the flag for Mali. Eh, whichever continent you’re into, I guess. Thumbs up for this pizza.

A wee couple of days ago I first heard about local electro-pop-whatever-i’m-not-a-music-critic act Lazerbitch over at Ye Olde Midnight Sunne Blog and got a solid kick out of the video “Coquette” and it’s sheer sheer localness. Welp, fast forward to the other day and I find myself at Windup Space somehow observing a photo shoot for none other than Lazerbitch herself aka Libby. And wouldn’t you know it, the last set of photos shot were taken at that super-awesome, super-shady crackden No-tell Motel about a block away (also visible in the background of her music video!)

At any rate, I took some photos of some of the whole thing. Enjoy!
