Share your Mongolian BBQ knowledge

I saw the words "Mongolian BBQ", and without looking I KNEW who had started this thread.

We've got several places in the Memphis/Mid-South area that do this. No dedicated Its a sideline for all of them. They are more or less traditional chinese places that offer it, often in conjunction with a buffet. None is a spectacular stand out, but all have at least 3 or 4 meat choices, 6-10 vegies, and a handful of spice options. Generally you pile it on a plate and take it to the chef who cooks it and adds from a collection of sauces as you request. You get to advise during the process and one place will let you sample then re-spice as needed. Memphis is overun with asian food. Asian is likely just behind burgers, hotwings and fried chicken in frequency here. Lots of Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Indian, and one Pakastani. We only have one Korean place that I know of, but if you like the mongolian bit you should really check out Korean BBQ were each table has its own Habachi and you order the meat and spices then cook it yourself with sides of various spicy pickled vegetables that often defy identification. The best Korean BBQ I ever had was just off the strip in Vegas in a little hole in the wall that was part of an old motel. We were the only non-asians in the place and very little english could be heard, but the food was first rate and a real bargin. Sorry I can't remember the name. Mmm, time to get out of this thread before I start to drool.

I like Mongolian BBQ, but in a very non-normal way...just noodles, lots of meat, and sauces (mostly hot sauce).

I love hot sauce. I eat it on practically everything...burgers, subs, sandwiches of all kinds, chicken and rice, mmmmmm...

The best Mongolian BBQ I've had was in Williamsburg, VA.

Goodness gracious yes. That place and the cheese fries at Paul's Deli made my tenure at William and Mary bearable.

You, sir, are the man.

My oldest son, when he was four, used to flip waitresses out all the time. When we went to a place like Chili's or Red Robin or something like that, he'd always ask for Tabasco sauce instead of ketchup for his fries.

Yep, that's how we raise 'em in the Dyal household!

 

[MrFilthyIke]

That's the way, raise them on spices. I was raised in a household where "Spice" meant salt and black pepper, and that's it. I've got years of catching up to do.

Yeah, in our house, spice means sauces like "Dave's Insanity Sauce" or "Colon Blow: A Habanero Pepper Enema" or "Kick Yo' Ass" or "Rectal Rocket" all referring to the unfortunate side effects of eating too much of it. Or my homemade chimichurri, or something like that, which actually isn't that hot, but it's made of nothing but spice, essentially. Or my home-made brisquet (and other meat) rub. My wife's got a pretty impressive (spice) rack in the kitchen too.

Good stuff. In Orlando, I used to live at Tiajuana Flats who brought us Smack My Ass And Call Me Sally...The Slap Heard around the World. Their other sauces are also good.

I've had some of that! It's devilishly hard to find up here, though... it's been a long time.
