It was his idea of a good time
When I met my husband, he was a slim, five feet nine inches, who ran everyday and ate like a horse whenever he had the chance. It seemed like he could not possibly gain weight. Since he loved to eat, he knew where all the good all-you-can-eat places were in LA.
One of his favorite places at the time was a place called Genghis Khan. It was a Mongolian bbq place where you could grill your own meat on hibachi grills set right in the middle of the table. This was before they opened those places where you can select your meat, veggies and noodles and someone will cook it for you on a huge grill. At Genghis Khan, you selected your raw meat, buffet style, and brought it to your table to grill. They also had another buffet section of salads and other goodies. Now, it was a fun place to eat the first couple of times. But I soon grew tired of cooking for myself and would pay good money to have someone else cook it for me!! Oh, but not my husband. You see, this Mongolian place was an all-you-can-eat place. And because it was all-you-can-eat, he would do just that while I sat and watched, having finished my meal a full half hour before.
The funny thing was that it became MY favorite thing to do too. Not the all-you-eat part, but to go out and experience all kinds of cuisine. And there was no better place to do it than Los Angeles. Well, I shouldn't say that since there are other cities that have great places to eat, but hey, I used to live in San Diego and it pales in comparison to LA. You can find Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese,Filipino, Guatamalan, El Salvadoran, Mexican, Cuban, Armenian, Persian, Greek, Indian, Moroccan and Ethiopan restaurants here. If you have an adventurous tummy, then LA is the place to be.
My husband and I have been married nearly twenty years and have two great teenaged kids. And eating out is still OUR idea of a good time!
