A look back: Mongolian Grill
Mongolian Grill is a rather scary place. Imagine if you shoved a chinese buffet together with a place that serves excellent grilled spiced meats and made it all available for one low price. If you guess that you'd eat way too much and contemplate throwing up on the ride back, then you'd be right.
Essentially, that is the way a meal at Mongolian Grill works. We don't eat hardly anything for a while. We drive the 20 something minute drive over. We eat a giant bowl of meat, noodles and vegetables that get cooked in front of you. Then we eat a wide variety of delicious Chinese buffet items such as bacon-wrapped crab, cheese sticks and pudding. Then we quickly head home and think about throwing up the entire way.
Despite this vicious cycle that you get put in by joining a trip to Mongolian Grill, we all do it willingly each time we head out there. Gathering a bowl of meat, noodles and veggies together and handing it to some man to cook it in front of you is a quite satisfying experience. It's the modern man's equivilent of being a hunter/gatherer. Then you stare at this meat being whirled around this strange circular grill while your desire to jump the bar and kill the man so you can get the meats he is wrongly keeping from you grow. Finally, you go back and feast on your kill, devouring every little spiced and soft piece of the bowl.
It's an experience not to be missed, if only because once you finish the bowl you'll find yourself inexplicably getting up and getting more food from the bar because you just can't resist it. Bacon-wrapped crab is not a treat to be missed. Then you finish off the meal with a fortune cookie, which provides ample chance to insult one another. Mine was - "You are a straightforward and honest person." Everyone concluded my career in politics was over before it started.
EDIT: Gavin fights like a little girl and it was necessary to whip him upside the head to teach him a lesson. Just to clear the record.
DOUBLE EDIT: Justin fights like a little girl and it was necessary to fight fire with fire, so to speak.
