Hyugui @ BBQ Hut

Hyugui BBQ Hut

Hyugui (beef tongue)

We all know all-you-can-eat buffets don’t provide the highest quality food. It is the nature of a buffet and its business model. BBQ Hut offers the regular Korean menu, but also offer a $22.95 barbecue buffet if you decide to go with it. If you decided to go with the buffet, it is mandatory that all members of your table also choose the barbecue buffet. The buffet offers a somewhat wide range of meats from beef tongue to chicken gizzards. The one great buffet item from BBQ Hut that stands out is their Hyugui or beef tongue. The restaurant gives you thin, palm-sized cuts of the beef tongue that still maintains its large cut after shrinkage from the grill. What is great about the cut is that you can have a mouthful of chewy beef tongue where as at other Korean restaurants they give you small slices. Beef tongue by itself may not be the most appealing so there is a dipping sauce made out of sesame oil, diced black sesame, and salt. The shining aspect of this particular meal at this particular restaurant is the price. An order of beef tongue at other restaurants is comparable to a single dinner order and they give you minimal slices. At BBQ Hut, you can sit there for hours delighting in several and maybe exotic meats.

The Professor Skip Gates @ Mr. Bartley

The Professor Skip Gates – $9.95

From one of the older burger establishments in the prime locale across from Harvard University, Mr. Bartley offers a variety of burgers with a variety of names featuring names of significant political individuals to references to the current popular culture. The Professor Skip Gates burger barely squeezes a marinated teriyaki patty and grilled pineapple into a sesame bun. Definitely a messy business with the accompanying fried onion rings.

Grass-Fed Half Pound Burger Daddy @ Tremont 647

Grass Fed Half Pound Burger Daddy Tremont 647

Grass-Fed Half Pound Burger Daddy – $12.50 (Bacon strips +$0.75)

A burger from cow that is only grass-fed from Pineland Farms in New Gloucester, Maine. Unable to tell the difference from other patties, but definitely reassures me that the originating cow was treated humanely in an open farm. The burger was juicy with Tremont’s somewhat sweet secret house mayonnaise. I decided to add bacon strips to personalize my burger making it little salty and cruchy. Everything with string fries on the side, of course.

Beef Tenderloin With Gravy and Chips

The menu at this particular French brasserie changes daily, but once in awhile you may catch this delicious entree. The entree consists of beef tenderloin that is very tender at medium rare that is immersed in gravy and their special house sauce. On top of the tenderloin are puffed-up potato chips. The combination of chewy beef, crispy potato chips, and foamy potato puree is fabulous.
