guess who i am!

ayce kbbq.

FINALLY!

ever since i moved, i was looking for an all you can eat kbbq place.

i finally found a joint that hit the spot.

oegadgib

(annandale, va)

you can't beat $15.99 for ayce kbbq.

they even have $18.99 ayce shabu shabu.

 i felt kinda weird cooking my meat on a little portable burner.

they didn't have those tabletop stoves.

good thing there was only 3 of us.

if there was a gang of us - this little burner wouldn't cut it.

 banchan galore!

 i think the next time i come to oegadgib, i'm gonna try their ayce shabu shabu. 

 

thank you. more please.
