Thanks for stopping by to read mmm-yoso!!! today. Cathy is writing while Kirk is 'researching'.
The first time I went to Prime Grill was in 2016 and it was with Kirk and Ed (from Yuma) who had this perspective of the visit. The Mister and I returned the other day and were going to order from the regular menu, but the All Day Special Menu, which was All You Can Eat for $27 per person would cost about the same. We decided it would be fun to cook our own and eat all we could.
The complimentary banchan (pickled 'sides)were brought out along with the sauces (and salad and rice we ordered from the menu). Everything is replenished when you ask.
First up-thin brisket, beef bulgogi and chicken BBQ.
You are given tongs and scissors to help cook and cut your meats. The bulgogi and BBQ sauces carmelized on the grill and gave some flavor to the brisket.
Steamed egg is always a nice side dish from any Korean restaurant. We could have ordered two, but managed to restrain ourselves.
The 'corn cheese' is an excellent side to share.
For our second round, we chose thin beef belly and thin pork belly...so we could compare.
A clean grill had been brought out, so there was no flavor imparted from the bulgogi and BBQ sauces and we instead ate the meat with the pickled sides (the kim chee is excellent) and rice on top of salad: a completely different second meal.
Tasty and fun and good time spent together.

Everything here is really good, Charles N. I'm glad the two of you enjoy it, too. The ssamjang is a little different than we have at home (a stronger salt flavor)and I do like it.
It was a really good meal, kat. We didn't have dinner that night.

KBBQ is fun for a group, Soo. In 2016, it was the last time that Kirk and Ed and I shared a meal together and I have fond memories.
