So here's the lowdown...I finally had a Thursday afternoon without home improvement, work or dental appointments to worry about. I've heard about how good the food is from the Kogi food trucks in LA. I haven't been to the OC in a quite a while, so I made an afternoon and evening of it. In the end, my taste buds were blown away by a symphony of taste!
$2-$3 tacos, $5 burritos and quesadillas. All with a combination of Korean spices and flavors wrapped in tortillas. Short-rib tacos: Man, the sweetness, sourness, crunch of the kim-chi and the umami of the short ribs and soy sauce combined to explode in a ball of flavor fire in my mouth. I was still thinking about how good it tasted a week later! The chef's special, the sweet chili chicken quesadilla with naranja sauce was a great blend of sweet heat, sesame, onion and chicken (I'm sure it was flatiron grilled). I was a little disappointed by the blackjack quesadilla but the Kogi Dog was outrageous!. A large sausage covered with kim-chi and sesame seeds in a traditional bun and (man I wish I could remember the other ingredients)my taste buds were off to the massage parlor again. The dog had a great snap and once again the umami of the flavors with the spiciness and slight sourness of the fermented cabbaged was rockin'!
Kogi, I'm looking forward to tracking down one of your trucks again, soon!
