Mongolian Barbeque

Most of what people are going to know about Mongolian Barbeque come in the form of chain restaurants like BD's Mongolian BBQ and the such. However there is more to it than that.

The first time I had Mongolian Barbeque was at a little restaurant in Norfolk, VA, and the food was some of the best I'd ever eaten. Since this was my first trip to the bbq, the chef helped me get my plate which started with noodles, not meat like at BD's. Then came the meat and veggies. What surprised me most is that the chef put one ladle of each sauce that was on the sauce bar on the plate and he said that that was the right way to cook it, and it gave the food a unique flavor. Each ladle was a different size and when the dish was all said and done, it was excellent. The main thing though is that it was a noodle dish and the restaurant more of a noodle bar than barbeque.

Still, you can't find those kind of restaurants near here, so BD's will have to do. Actually, I'm headed to the BD's in Flint tomorrow at 6:15 to hang with the old buds.
