Full slab rib plate - juicy tender ribs with really sensational seasoning and light sauce. Love the house bbq sauce our order came with. Basket of cornbread - really dense cornbread which is unusual but I like the taste and texture. THREE meats - pulled pork melts like butter in your mouth so moist. 1/4 BBQ chicken leg - nicely done Smoked sausage - a nice option. Handcut fries - I wouldn't say I'm a fan, these were too mushy for me. Large potato salad - yes go for this all the way! It was a really nice side. Lots of onions though so if you don't like that well too bad. TWO meats - Beef Brisket - falling apart so delicate and good 1/4 BBQ chicken breast - again nicely done Large Mac n Cheese - a little spice hit I enjoyed but the kids didn't like it. Orders online and it was done right on time for pickup. Noticed a few seats inside. Dark interior vibes.

Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy a good slice from time to time. I prefer to call them sticks but I suppose he does have shishkabob written on the side of his cart. Nuzzled into an entrance way just down from Willy's, the smell of their sausages and kabobs is like a sensory overload for half, large, and extra largely snapped individuals from thurs-sat. Cool part is they are super cheap and leave you with less of a fat and carb induced hangover the next day. 6 bucks for 3 sticks and a lot of protein. The cool part if you can slap them in a bun and take away the stick, or you can naw off the stick as you walk (me). They are marinated and cooked to perfection. I swear, they get me every time. I think I go out for the sole purpose of getting a stick. ALL HAIL THE MEAT MAN.

Gangnam Korean BBQ caught my eye as a place that would have something different - and more flavour - to offer. Their menu has a broad selection of options, with a couple dozen apps, as well as several each of rice and noodle dishes, soups, hot pot and of course, their namesake Korean BBQ. I was looking for something that wouldn't splatter my work clothes in some sort of sauce, so I went with the tofu bibimbap. It was a great mixture of crisp, pickled veg, a rich fried egg with crispy edges and a runny yolk, and soft, lightly fried tofu. A side of gochujang let me spice it up to my own taste. The bibimbap came with bonus sides of miso soup, kimchi and danmuji (yellow, pickled daikon). All added their own flavours and textures to the meal - the warm, savoury soup, the funky snap of the kimchi, and I really enjoyed the danmuji. In addition to its vibrant yellow, the pickling mellowed out the earthy funk of the daikon but each bite still had a great crunch and light tartness that helped cut through the richer parts of my meal. All told, it was a delicious meal and at an easy-on-the-wallet price of just $14 for a hearty, but healthy, meal. A return visit saw me coming by with my wife for a weekend lunch. She went for a couple of their many delicious-sounding apps, the fried Brussels sprouts and yakitori, while I went for the jajangmyeon (black bean pork and noodles). My wife's dishes came out first, and impressively quickly. Deep fried Brussels sprouts are this generations beet and goat cheese salad in their ubiquity, but hey, it works! With just the right level of char, the crispy cruciferous vegetable was dressed in a teriyaki sauce and sesame seeds for extra flavour. The yakitori weren't quite what I expected, as the chunks of chicken were deep fried instead of the typical grilling, but I appreciated their crisp crust that the frying imparted. A bed of spinach and drizzle of sauces felt like an unnecessary deviation that would be better served by a smoky, charcoal grilling, but they weren't bad so much as a bit superfluous. After a short wait, and a few stolen bites of my wife's food, my hefty bowl of noodles was before me. The noodles had a similar look to ramen, minus the de rigeur crinkle and weren't as supple, and came with a veritable sea of black bean sauce. The deeply rich, savoury and sweet sauce doused every noodle and then some, with tender bites of pork, cabbage and onion fleshing out the dish. Our server said this was his favourite dish on the menu, and I can see why - it's a bit of a deep cut versus the more familiar dishes to us non-Koreans, but it checked a lot of delicious boxes! My times sampling Gangnam's food have been nothing but complete successes, and while I benefit from proximity to them, they're a destination-worthy place with wonderfully executed food at more than reasonable prices.

Slightly embarrassed to say I missed the inaugural festival in 2015. Not this year. I marked the 2016 festival in my calendar early. I checked it out on the slow day, Friday, but you can tell from the flotilla tables that they are expecting huge crowds for the next two days. I went last year's favorite, The Silver Bullet. The festival had only been open a few hours by the time I got there and the line ups were already to grow. Judging by the size of the line up Silver Bullet was going to be popular too this year. There were two die hard rib fans behind me in the line. I chatted with them while I was getting tantalized by the eye candy of all that delicious looking meat on the grill. They had gone to the festival in 2015 and had come prepared this year. Both brought coolers (see photos) to take ribs home with them! One of the fans was getting ribs from each of the booths! I got the half rack and a side of cornbread. I couldn't wait to dig into the ribs. They were easily the most meaty, moist and flavourful ribs I ever had. The sauce was the right balance of sweet and tangy. Buttery and slightly crumbly even the conrbread was worth coming downtown for. Halifax needs more food festivals like this!

I got the Bibimbap ($11.99) and got my husband the Dakgalbi Combo ($14.99). The Bibimbap was tasty, but the meat was a wet and saucy ground meat mixture, and not the drier ground meat or beef bulgogi slices that I'm used to with Bibimbap. The vegetables were green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, onions, and spring mix lettuce. There was also a fried egg on top. No mushrooms or zucchini. And definitely no gosari. The rice was white rice and it was nicely cooked though. Overall it was an enjoyable meal, even though it was lacking some ingredients that I really like in bibimbap. Also the amount of meat was fairly minimal. My husband's Dakgalbi Combo said it was supposed to come with 2 Gimmari dumplings, but it only came with one :( It was good, but where's my other one? It's basically glass noodles, wrapped in seaweed, battered, then deep-fried. I wish we had gotten 2, as per the menu. The chicken was good, but a bit on the dry side. It had a fiery kick to it. It also had some fried rice cake slices in it. No vegetables though, other than onions. The cashier was really friendly and great. I advised her of my sesame seed allergy and she checked with the kitchen and advised me of recommended substitutions. She even checked my food before giving it to me (the kitchen actually had to remake my food, as it did contain sesame seeds first time around. The cashier caught it and asked them to remake it). Five stars to her! The food I'd say is 3.5 stars. So overall, I'm saying 4 stars. There's some seating inside the restaurant and one lonely table for 2 in front of the restaurant, which is where we ate. I kind of liked only having the two of us out there, lol, but if you're set on eating outside, you'll have to try your luck, as the table could be taken.

Stopping in around 4pm on a Tuesday, it was pretty quiet in the small shop, other than the stream of music videos playing on the TV. I'm not even sure what the source was given that MuchMusic and MTV barely play any music these days. Ordering at the main counter, I went with the sweet and spicy chicken combo ($8.50) which comes with rice, salad and miso soup, and I tacked on a bottle of water as well. Sitting down at the small counter running along the window, I took in some Adele and other pop music mixed with the sizzle of the deep fryer in the back and notes of spice in the air. It wasn't long before I had my container of grub and was on my way elsewhere to dig in. Upon opening the container, the first thing you're going to see is the respectably-sized pile of deeply red hunks of chicken. I'm pretty far from being a Korean food expert, but I assume that their ubiquitous fermented chili paste, gojuchang, plays a leading role in this chicken. The hint of fermented tang to it would suggest that as well. That, combined with the spice and slight crispness to the chicken made for a tasty entree. I'm not entirely confident that the pieces of chicken didn't come out of a bag: they weren't that mushy texture that frozen chicken can be, or overly dry, just not particularly moist and way too uniform. A pleasant surprise was a couple fried dumplings, which were crispy on the outside, and juicy and pork-tastic inside. The steamed rice was cooked perfectly and was easy to eat with chop sticks. My salad seemed to be run of the mill, creamy coleslaw. It was a bit disappointing in that it would have been nice to try a Korean salad, but it actually helped balance out the heat of the spicy chicken. The cup of miso soup was nice as well, with a mild broth that still had a nice umami flavour, with bits of konbu and ultra-tender cubes of tofu. All in all, it was a very well rounded meal, and at a very good price. They're a unique business in the city, so I hope they can carve out the niche they deserve and I'll be back in the near future so that I can try out their battered chicken.
