Soot Bull Jeep: The Taste of Authentic Korean BBQ

 SOOT BULL JEEP   Los Angeles, CA

This no frills Korean BBQ joint with cracked linoleum tabletops and rickety metal chairs always has a line of hungry people waiting to be seated. They are not waiting for the service, as it's the eat, pay and get out kind of place. It's the charcoal grills coupled with the marinated meats that attract the masses and makes Soot Bull Jeep one of the most popular and busiest Korean bbq restaurants in the Los Angeles area.

 the fixings

Don't expect much service from the waitresses other than when they plop down the fixings and plates of meat. They will occasionally stop when they smell a sense of cooking ignorance at a table. It's a cook-it-yourself kinda place. Grill, raw meat and fixings provided. The rest is up to the customer.

You will leave feeling like you need an immediate shower, so make sure to change from your chick and fashionable attire, to your "less than suitable" lounge wear. Your clothing will absorb the smoke and you'll smell as if you just came from a campfire. The ventilation system doesn't do much justice.

The amazing taste, quality of food, feel of authenticity and the reasonably priced menu makes this restaurant a  a memorable and fun dining experience keeping their customers coming back for more. This smokey spot offers remarkable bbq with meat marinated to perfection!

Gourmet Meals on Wheels in LA

If someone asked me a few years ago to go grab a meal at a roach coach, I would have thought you were temporarily insane and replied, "GROSS, lunch from a roach coach!". For the past few years the roach coach obsession has been hitting the streets of Los Angeles and have transformed into gourmet meals on wheels. It's the new "fast food" dining experience and be prepared to wait in long lines for good food that is reasonably priced. The true aficionados are always in the know where to find the best tacos, mouth watering grilled cheese, delicious cupcakes, and korean bbq. Most of theses mobile food trucks have twitter and facebook pages to give followers their daily locations.

My personal favorite is the grilled cheese truck, recently named the number one food truck in Los Angeles. Whether this a trend that will last, only time will tell, but in the meantime, I will take another double cream brie cheese sandwich!!
