A Perfect Dallas night! Play, Sushi, Martini's


It was a spur of the moment thing. One bud calls up another bud, who calls up another and the conversation went something like this:

Caller One: "Sushi?"

Caller 2:"Uh, yes, but did you know Gary Floyd is in a 2 man play at Theatre Three?"

"No, who's Gary Floyd?"

"Singer who used to play at the Library at the Melrose"

"Ok, let's go, then Sushi?"

"Yes, been to Gui?"

"Isn't that Korean?"

"Yes, but they have the single greatest Sushi chef that no one knows about in Dallas?"

"Really?

"You don't order off the menu, his name is Eddie, you simply say "I have this much to spend, amazing things happen behind that bar"

"Martinis at Gui?"

"One of Zodiac's better accounts, giant Martinis!"

"You're driving then!


So that's how one of the better nights in Dallas came down. The play, called the Big Bang, is hysterical. Located in Theatre Three in Dallas, Gary Floyd and one other guy (Help!) play the every role in a muscial version of everything from The Big Bang to Modern Day USA. It was incredible. Then literally within walking distance of theatre three is Gui. I've talked about this before because of my love for Korean food, but I've discovered "Eddie" and his imagination behind the sushi bar. He's gifted. Place was packed, which is good to see. then those Zodiac Martini's, they boys bought new glassware there, suddenly you have an small fishbowl full of the my favorite potato vodka! Decided to leave the car there and walk the 6 blocks home! Good move! GREAT night!!

Korean Food in Dallas...Can it get any better?

Kids! Can there be any better food than Korean food. American's still haven't discovered it, and I know it's just a matter of time until someone "PF CHANGS" it and make it a chain nationwide. Nothing like any other Asian food you can have, you need to find one in your city and make it a destination.

You want spicy? They can take it to degrees of delicious spice that will make you scream in pleasure as you sweat while your savoring every bite. You want it sweet, pluck yourself down at one of the Bar B Q's and ask for Kal Bi or Bul Go Gi and go at it. Trust me, you've never had beef served this way. It will make you wonder why you never went there in the first place. Noodles? Ask for Jhap Chae, made with sesame oil, the noodles slide all over the place, but it's worth the effort to get everyone into your mouth.

In Dallas, you MUST go to Gui! Located on McKinney in trendy Uptown, the owner Kevin will guide you through the "Americanized" menu, but it's still the same food. Ask for the Tofu Stew, (Chigae in Korean) and you will taste something like you never have before. they also have sushi so you can take the timid. They will have something to eat.

If you're in the SAM MOON part of Harry Hines, you're surrounded by Korean Restaurants. There are over 30 in "Korean Town" and you really can't miss. For fun, head down Royal Lane and find Komart. A korean shopping store that has a "Deli" in it that will serve you amazing portions of several menu items for $5.00. Yes, $5.00. It's ridiculous. Order the Bi Bim Bap, which is a bowl or marinated vegtables with some bul go gi on top and a perfectly cooked egg. Add some of the red spicy sauce, mix it up and then devour. I mean DEVOUR this sucker. It's $5.0o. EAT IT! Don't like it, get something else, it's $5.00! WHO CARES! On Saturdays, they have this open market, that can't possibly be legal, with little housewife's standing behind home made "Side dishes" that I have no idea what most of them are, but damn they are good! Caution: it's it's RED, it's spicy. Very!

Trust me on this one, you want to try these places. You won't be sorry
