And how much I spent in a week of daily Americanos and nightly restaurant meals.
, a Venezuelan restaurant. I also get the a lo pobre with strips of wagyu on top of a fried egg. We split the chazuta , made from macambo and passionfruit, for dessert. My portion of the bill comes out to $116.35 after tax and tip., a brewery based out of Reston, Virginia, that has recently opened an outpost a few blocks from my home. I show up just in time for closing, and get handed a beer to finish. While I would normally rally for the next spot, I am exhausted and head to bed.
The star of the show is the whole rib kalbi , which serves the beef sliced off the bone and comes with umami rice, ssamjang, and red-leaf lettuce. I grew up eating ssäm at home, but this is the tastiest Korean barbecue lettuce wrap that I’ve encountered. I must’ve stopped engaging in conversation, because my boyfriend tells me “you just entered a different world” after my third wrap.
