Never a bad thing
On the heels of dinner with my college friends, I also had two nice dinner events prior to Thanksgiving.
The first was with the Firecracker and her family. They’re all huge fans of Korean and Japanese BBQ, so we all headed downtown to Gyu-Kaku in Astor Place.
Me: I’ve been here before; it used to be a Korean restaurant like 15 years ago. I guess Gyu-Kaku took over the lease and make it Japanese.
Him: Makes sense, everything’s already done.
We ended up doing the all-you-can-eat option and that worked out great as the food was excellent and my appetite remained on point.
Me: I’m gonna order more food before we run outta time.
Her: (after I ordered) You ordered FOUR plates of food? We’re all stuffed.
Me: Oh, those are just for me.
Her: You’re gonna eat four plates of food by yourself?
Me: Looks that way.
And I did.
Wanna say that she was impressed but I’m not sure that’s the appropriate adjective to describe how she felt as I ate four full plates of food on top of all the other food we ordered.
We also got a beer tower to round things out, as well as some sochu…
…and the kids – and Firecracker – got s’more for dessert.
Her: So, you’ll eat four additional plates of food but you’re gonna draw the line at s’mores?
Me:…yes? I do have some standards.
All-in-all, it probably wasn’t the best night for my waistline but good for everything else.
If nuthin else, it was more memories for the kid to have.
And that’s never a bad thing.

Mood: old
Music: Every day I’m gonna celebrate, even when it’s not that sweet (Spotify)
