So I got an email from Dong yesterday about all-you-can-eat rib night at Tony Romas.... I love ribs..... But a double whammy for me.... I can't eat pork and I can't eat all-I-can anymore.....
One of my favorite stories about Hoon and I and eating(I have many) happened after a wedding. I forgot who's wedding it was. But we stuffed our selves cause it was one of those Korean weddings that was catered by Bi-Won. Mmmmmm.... All you can eat Korean wedding foods. YES! But what we forgot was that later, we were invited to our friends home for Ribs....
Da Fevah : Man I am full....
Hoon : Me too.....
Da Fevah : I think we have Rib night at Jenna's...
Hoon : Oh yeah.....
Da Fevah : Man can you eat again?
Hoon : We need to be inspired.... Chant with me...
Da Fevah : huh?
Hoon : R.... I..... B..... (Prounoucing each letters) R.. I.. B...
Together : R. I. B.... R I B... R I B... R I B... R I B...
We Chanted faster and faster.... And we killed it that night. It was a moment of triumph. It was gonna be the ribs or our reputation....
Needless to say..... Hoon and I won! and even we had dessert.
After the dinner, was like a movie momment. Hoon and I walking back to the car with our pants unbuckled, guts hangin' out, with a smirk of pride on our faces. Hoon with a tooth pick in his mouth and me with a cig.... I can hear the "Chariots of Fire" theme song on the back ground, all shot in slow motion......
Man I love ribs.... But gotta stay strong. Can't go to Buffets.... Oh how I miss those days. I had many buffet pals. Mel, Hoon, Al, and I were all heavyweight champions of Buffets. Todai, HomeTown, Marrie Callendar brunch, El Torrito sat. brunch, Joe's Sushi, Maedas, Garden, Brazillian, and etc.... Not to forget all the Korean go-gi(meat) buffets. Sometimes we even went healthy, you know... Souplatations. You name it. We've been there. There were times that we would walk out of buffets and just laugh for hours.....
Thanks for the invitation Dong...
But gone are those days of eating....
and I am half the man that I used to be.....
