Drank my share of Tanqueray and tonic back in the day...as far as the "taste" of vodka or lack thereof...I remember a boring day at the bar one day and some liquor salesmen were arguing over their brand of vodka so I decide to have a "blind taste test"...and poured a taste of about 4-5 different brands of vodka including their own brand into plastic cups (Stoli/Smirnoff/etc., and our well brand)...they all sipped and swished and voted...and believe it or not, our well brand came in 2nd place...that should tell you a lot about so called "vodka experts".
Had some Korean BBQ today...tried a new cut, Korean Rib Finger....its pretty fatty but awesome flavor. looks like this: http://koreanbbqonline.com.au/product/beef-rib-fingers/ takes a while to cook but the texture and taste is on point.
Thanks for all of the suggestions. I ended up going with T-bones. Got a really nice deal on some great ones and the results were outstanding. I'm definitely going to have to work my way through the list of recommendations, however. I hope my cholesterol level can handle it.
My wife hasn't even heard of it but she doesn't rule it out as a possible Korean food. New to me and I thought I'd seen it all.
