Restaurant Review: Eight Korean BBQ and their signature Eight Flavors of Pork Belly

My friend Kara and I were invited to Eight Korean BBQ in Buena Park. We both love Korean BBQ and we were here to try their set meal offering their signature eight different flavors of pork belly. This set meal is the "Combo A", easily the most popular item on the menu. The flavors include wine, original, black sesame, garlic, herb, curry, miso paste and red pepper paste. At the time of this writing the price for "Combo A" is $59.99, which can easily feed 3 people.

Besides the amazing eight thick cut slices of pork belly, you get a large salad, refillable side dishes, a huge seafood tofu stew and then mozzarella kimchi fried rice at the end of the meal.

As you can see I cannot get enough of the eight different flavors of pork belly! It is made for taking photos of!

Take a look at the large boiling pot of seafood tofu stew! Spicy and delicious that is perfect on any day!

One of the best parts of eating at Eight Korean BBQ is that it is full-service, meaning that you do not have to do any of the cooking. Let that sink in for a minute. You do not have to do any of the cooking! Our server cooked all of the pork belly as well as made the seafood stew and the kimchi fried rice.

Made in the same bowl that the seafood tofu stew was, our server then made the kimchi fried rice. She asked if we wanted cheese and we said yes. I know what you are thinking. Cheese on top of kimchi fried rice? The cheese melted into a gooey pile of amazing! I cannot ever remember any other Korean BBQ place making this and I would happily get this with the mozzarella each and every time!

An amazing meal that I cannot wait to go back to and eat again and again.

Food Review: 'The Simpons' Springfield U.S.A. Area Opens at Universal Studios Hollywood!

Time to check out Springfield U.S.A., brought to life at Universal Studios Hollywood! This is The Simpsons food court! Let's see how good the food is and if it's worth your visit!

The food court area is well themed with many of the restaurants all connected indoors with the vast majority of the seating upstairs in the air-conditioning! Well done and well though out Universal!

Our first stop is the famous lad with the donuts! That's right Lard Lad Donuts!

Lard Lad Donuts offers their famous massive donuts but also these larger than regular sized donuts with all sorts of various toppings! Seen here are the Cap'n Crunch, the Fruit Loops, maple bacon and the s'more donuts! They sell four donuts for less than $12! The best one was the s'mores donut!

For lunch I stopped at Krusty Burger!

This is going to be the busiest of all the major restaurants but the line moves quickly! Duff is on tap!

I got the Sideshow Bob foot long chili dog! A 100% beef hot dog topped with chili and cheese and served with fries and cole slaw! It was really good!

I washed down the hot dog with an ice cold Duff in a souvenir plastic cup! The beer is really good. This is the regular Duff and it reminded me of a Blue Moon.

My friend went to Cletus' Chicken Shack!

Check out the awesome chicken and waffle sandwich served with slaw and fries! Some maple syrup on top of the waffle and the mayo is even mixed with some maple syrup!

And yes there is a Moe's!

Barney and I were sad that we were out of beer! Oh and yes the Love Machine behind us works!

Across from Moe's is the Duff Brewery!

You can get Duff in Regular Duff, Duff Lite or Duff Dry! I have to come back to try the other two!

Next to the Brewery is Luigi's and Phineas Q. Butterfat's Ice Cream Parlor!

This is the Mr. Teeny's Banana Delight! Bananas with banana foster sauce with soft serve vanilla and whipped cream! Amazing dessert creation!

This is the Brain Freezin' D'oh-Nut Sundae! You get a split pink sprinkled donut with vanilla or chocolate soft serve and a choice of topping I went with the strawberry sauce! So good on a warm summer day!

Lots of great food options here! Hope to be back soon to try more food items!

Hope you enjoyed this look at some of the food offerings at Springfield U.S.A. at Universal Studios Hollywood!
