Dotchi??

We sometimes watch this Japanese food show, "Dotchi no ryouri??" meaning, "Which dish (do you want to eat)"? For every show the 2 team captains each choose a dish and try to convince the 7 guests to order their dish over the other one. At the end, each guest has to decide which dish they prefer and the majority wins. Only the winning team gets to eat their dish while the losing team just watches, so there's a lot at stake here.This week's battle was yakiniku-don (beef bowl) vs. mugitoro (mountain yam over barley rice). As we watched the show, we thought there was no way that the gooey, glue-like mountain yam had any chance of victory over the juicy, fatty-looking beef, but amazingly, the winner of the night was the mountain yam! Even so, H and I decided that our personal #1 choice was the yakiniku-don, so we decided that we needed to go have some yummy yakiniku somewhere. We tried a Korean BBQ place just down the street from us, and had enough juicy meat to satisfy all of our meat cravings for a month! They had a nice variety of veggie side dishes, too.
