“All You Can Eat.” A Sin City original that seared it’s way into the hearts and minds of food-lovers everywhere. Simultaneously tempting and challenging, only the purest moderate could resist it’s allure. And when it comes to sustenance, I’m less than saintly.
My party of 13 entered Koreatown under the cover of night. After a couple of perfectly legal u-turns, we reached our destination: Gui Rim Korean Barbeque. Gui Rim is a local hotspot with low prices and no pretense. For $20 you can eat yourself into a coma, and we were ready to indulge.
Platters of raw meat were sashayed around the restaurant for all to see. Most of them landed at our table. Short rib, rib eye, brisket, pork belly, more brisket, baby octopus: we sizzled so much protein you could barely see through the smokey swelter. I spent a majority of the night fighting back tears, tears of joy. The food was sumptuous, the beer continuous, and the conversation boisterous. To ask for anything more would be sacrilege.
After the feast began to wane, we sank low in our chairs, 13 gluttons praying for pardon. The Gui Rim waitstaff took pity on us and hastily brought the check. We waddled out of the restaurant, fat and happy, already anxious for the next “All You Can Eat” excursion.
