KOGI IN SHERMAN OAKS
Aug. 11th, 2009 10:52 pm
The famous Kogi BBQ Twittering Taco Truck (finally) made a stop here in Sherman Oaks, about a block from our house. Yay!Our verdict: the Korean short-rib tacos and KogiDog are well worth the hype. The flavor of the meat is off the charts, complimented by the warm corn tortillas and the snappy, fresh kimchee on top.
The Korean spicy pork burrito was very good -- to me, the cheese and flour tortilla took away some of the snappiness of the tacos, but the pork was pleasingly sweet and spicy. The Korean short-rib sliders were just okay; the soft bun and cheese made them a bit too cloyingly mushy and sweet for me -- might be better with the pork or the chicken? I'll mix it up next time.
Definitely worth the wait for the tacos and the dog, though.

GOVERNMENT IS SOOOOO INEFFECTUAL!

"This morning I woke to my alarm clock, powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the local water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to an FCC-regulated channel to see what the National Weather Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather will be, using satellites designed, built, and launched into orbit by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast, which has been inspected for safety by the US Department of Agriculture and took my medicine, which has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
"At the appropriate time, as regulated by the US Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I got into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration-certified and -approved automobile, and set out to work on the roads designed and built by the local, state, and national Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase fuel at a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, at a pump certified by the local Bureau of Weights and Measures to have dispensed what it says it did, using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve Bank. On the way out the door, I drop my mail in the outbox for the US Postal Service, which can deliver a note anywhere in the country in less than a week, and drop my kids off at the local public school.
"After work, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to a house which has not burned down in my absence because of state and local building codes and a fire marshal's inspection, and which has not been vandalized or plundered of its valuables thanks to the local police department.
I then log onto the Internet, which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and carp on freerepublic.com about how 'socialism' is bad because the government can't do anything right."
