Share your Mongolian BBQ knowledge

[Torm]

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

That's me, too, except I leave out the noodles - I prefer to eat it mixed with some white rice. And I do usually kick in about 3 or 4 scallions, 4 slivers of onion, and 3 or 4 pieces of green pepper. But they aren't for eating - I consider them part of the saucing.

At home I'll sometimes throw some pizza-topping-style jarred mushrooms in, too. (Drained, of course.) They act like little, almost otherwise flavorless, sponges for the sauce, and provide little explosions of boosted flavor. I don't do this at the restaurants, though - the mushrooms they use are generally a different type, too flavorful in their own right. A flavor I find unappealing.

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

::looks for an excuse to go to Williamsburg:: Um, there's like, a lot of important historical stuff for the kids to see there, too. Right? RIGHT?

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

Well, duh.

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

Define "up here". I'm heading to MegaCon in Orlando this weekend. If you want some, email me (mrfilthyike A-T gmail D-O-T com) and tell me what you want from Tijuana Flats. I'll pick some up and we'll do an eBay style transaction.

I don't do Paypal, we'll make arangements by email.

And not to sound like a broken record, but that's what I love about this place. Start off talking D&D, end up exchanging hot sauce recipes.

 

[Desdichado]

Yeah, although I'm still considering making a quick stop by BD's this afternoon for a bowl of mongolian BBQ, since I didn't have any lunch. This place isn't always good on my wallet.

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

What year were you? My wife went to W&M, and graduated in 97.

Yeah, lots of historical stuff, and Busch Gardens amusement park too. Let me know when you're going, and we'll make a trip and meet you for dinner.

Didn't I just say this place causes me to spend more money? Crap! Now I'm tempted to drive to Williamsburg...

Moscow has an excellent Mongolian (actually more Tartar) BBQ chain. Lots of meat choices, including horse, eggs (which you can have cooked with the meat+veggies or fried on the side), lots of veggie choices, all kinds of herbs and sauces, and my favorite condiment--peanuts. I always add a bunch of those. Don't know how Mongolian it is, but I like it.

One of the few ethnic cuisines that is done very well in teh city.
