LA's best food always comes from strip malls and this week K-Town host Matthew Kang joins the one and only beef aficionado Nick Solares, host of the Meat Show, at Sun Nong Dan. Together, they eat one of the most epic meals in Koreatown: a massive cauldron of spicy braised short ribs, or galbijjim

They passed on the melted cheese torched table side? I did as well. Most everyone orders it this way. I thought I was the only one. Sun Nong Dan's galbi-jjim is a little sweet for my tastes. It's amazing when it comes out hot, but when it cools down it starts to taste sweet. Almost too sweet. I ordered it spicy. It wasn't very spicy. I'm curious to see if ordering extreme would make it better. Other than that, meat was good quality and there are nice vegetables. Their rice cakes are delicious. Very good banchan. Sun Nong Dan is a tiny restaurant. It can have a pretty long wait. Even on slower nights, there are always large crowd outside. Patrons are rushed and there's no alcohol served. I don't think their galbi-jjim alone is worth the hype. I'm curious to come back and try the sullungtang (oxtail soup.

I've never seen a co-host on an Eater video handle Nick as well as Matt did. Usually, whoever Nick is paired up with gets stomped all over by Nick's constant interjections, his long ramblings about umami this or platonic dry-aged that, and general refusal to let others talk, (not to say that I don't like the guy, but he has some issues as a host that I've noticed after re-watching some of his old stuff. But, Matt seemed to really hold his own and maintain the leadership on his own show. Perhaps this is due to Nick's lack of knowledge on Korean cuisine or more likely due to Matt calling him out some of his nick-isms probably throwing him off his game.

Before the ''great consumer electronics crash of 2007 I did sales events and kept tract of my Companies merchandise to make sure places like Best Buy etc gave them the exposure they paid for. We would have training in LA every year and I used my housing allowance to stay in K Town, the food was better the rooms far cheaper than at the Hilton and I was away from everyone after hours--every one that is but the Koreans who came to observe the 4 day training sessions. They were stunned to see me in the K Town Motel they were in. Took my husband and I to dinner a couple of times each session but they wouldn't let us return the hospitality.

both the Korean Braised Short Ribs dish (with ALL the accompanying kimchis) and the Solaris Guide to St. John's Restaurant are the most delectable culinary experiences i've seen in a loooooong time. now i want to savor bubbling veal marrow lathered on crunchy toast with fresh parsley salad and gritty salt, creamy lamb sweetbreads bathed in butter, and slivers of beef heart bathed in their own juices and served with beets and horseradish creme fraiche. i've already memorized the dishes.

My dad and I were just there a couple of weeks ago, actually, and. we've had better. Not that it was terrible (it was great, but I think it's a little over-hyped, with David Chang of Momofuku instagramming the place, the high yelp ratings, etc. I agree that galbi-jjim in general does represent a higher tier of Korean food, but I don't think this restaurant represents the best in galbi-jjim. That said, I'm impressed Nick knows how to use chop-sticks, lol.

This guy dont know nothing about Korean food in Korea. Four pcs of that galbi jimm is not a100 hundred bucks in Korea. He always makes it seem that Korean food is superior in the states compared to Korea. Its not true. I wonder where he ate out in Korea? The strictly dumpling guy who is chinese american knows korean food alot more than this dude.

Visit Toronto. There are amazing Korean restaurants (and so many of them. Amongst many other places from many other cultures. If you come I can give you a seriously excellent list. And show you around. Lately Toronto has really exploded with amazing places to eat.

I had a feeling Nick wouldn't like KBBQ as much as other stuff. He's a purist and probably doesn't like the marinated KBBQ beefs as much as your regular consumer. This duo wasn't too bad but could've been better! Good testing Eater.

These two and Lucas are my favorite hosts. I'm glad they're aware of the memes but they all honestly deliver good content. I hope to see more of them crossover into each other's shows.
