scallion!
having been thwarted the last 4 or 5 times i’ve tried to eat there, i would have put the chances somewhere around 1 or 2% that it would actually be open, even to the extent of trying to decide what i was going to order at our backup option. perhaps it was steve’s proximity, or maybe just the decade’s last effort to throw us a bone, but the scallion was open for lunch! given that it wasn’t exactly busy (and closes at 2:00), we probably ate the last meal they will serve this decade: a double order of bulgogi and a stone-bowl bibimbop, served with the usual dose of love. made my day.
