RE: Miss. Delicious #70 : Virgil's real BBQ at Atlantis!
@sweetsssj Southern BBQ is an aquired taste and I personally think it can get overcooked if the person overseeing it doesn't know what they are doing. Looks like that we the case there? My preference is Korean BBQ, can't go wrong there! Besides the food at the restaurant, I think the view is certainly worth it. The backdrop of the hotel coupled with the picturesque weather looked adding! All that seemed to be missing was a cocktail! Although saying that I don't think the strange times of 3pm - 8pm would have accommodated much of a happy hour! Thanks for sharing an interesting perspective into American food... still trying to get my head around serving chips with the burger? What the?!?
My problem with Korean BBQ is that it isn't actually a BBQ! I actually really like the slightly burnt taste from the wood used to burn the fire. Every korean bbq i've ever been to has basically been a Teppanyaki. Of course it's delicious but it doesn't feel authentically barbecued, hope you know what I mean..
As for the chips, well I appreciated them weird as they are!
Ah I see. I know what you mean @sweetsssj, however here in Sydney all the Korean BBQ is cooked over open coals. It tastes so so good! Teppanyaki style is reserved for the Japanese restaurants (really good one in Darling Harbour, Sydney). Grace and I just went to a Japanese Degustation and it was scrumptious! I think Southern BBQ is all about the sauce. The cuts of meat are sometimes secondary from my experience. There is so much good food out there though, just have to keep travelling to taste it all! Not many American Style restaurants in Australia but I'll still search for them. Thanks for your reply :)
I love BBQ
