Martina: It's time for- Both: FOOD ADVENTURE PROGRAM FOR AWESOME PEOPLE!
The Kogi Barbecue Truck edition.
So here's what we're doing: back when we were in Korea,
we announced that we were going to go to LA. We got a tweet from the Kogi barbecue truck,
telling us that we should go eat their food. Martina: That sounds like a challenge!
So we just drove for, like, 30 minutes. So now we're going to eat at Kogi barbecue truck.
I'm excited! We are so ready for this!
And the good thing is, it's fusion Korean/Mexican food. I don't know what that's going to be like...
Yeah. ...I'm kind of worried, kind of excited. I wanna
taste some Korean flavors in here, something real. Let's go!
[Both hum musical sting]
[FAPFAP theme plays]
[FAPFAP music continues] Simon: Perfect, thank you.
Martina: So I heard you come here a lot. Yes.
Martina: Do you have a favorite? Er, the short rib tacos.
The quesadillas, probably the best ones. Simon: One bite or two bites?
[He laughs] Two bites.
Martina: And you dragged your friends here?
What are you guys gonna get then? Probably what he says. He's the boss.
Martina: Short rib tacos? Short rib tacos? Cop #2: Yeah, I guess. Short rib tacos.
[Fast forwarding sounds] Alright, so we've got four things here today.
We've got the kimchi quesadillas, we've got one spicy pork taco, we've got one galbi taco.
And then we got some Blue Moon Some-word-that-I-don't know.
Martina: We don't know what that is. Simon: Blue Moon macaroon, whatever it is.
Martina: Martariza? And you know what, we're sitting here on the kerb,
This glamorous lifestyle, right by our Renault car.
You know what? We're going to eat like royalty today! Martina: That's right!
Simon: So we're doing the Blue Moon Moly-bolies.
Martina: 'The Blue Moon Boly-molies', and I quote.
Oh yeah! That is delicious is what that is.
What is this? I fail to see what is Korean in here.
[Dinosaur roars] ...and sesame seeds, that's for sure.
it's tart, it almost tastes like a rice wine vinegar.
You know what it reminds me of? The stuff that you put...
in. When we have dak kalbi, it's made with...
sesame oil, a little bit of vinegar...
Oh man. I don't know what this is, but it's great. Mm-hmm.
I've never had anything like this before in my life. No.
It's a brand-new culinary experience.
[roaring] (with mouth full) I beat you!
[Martina hums in victory] Ain't no race.
One is galbi, one is spicy pork.
There's a citrus flavor. There's definitely
a sesame oil flavor that's going through all of these. Right, yeah.
Even though there's this freshness, like a cilantro.
If there is a- Oh my god, I almost forgot! Don't eat the whole thing!
[dramatic music] Holy s**t, how much did you eat!
I didn't! I did not eat the whole thing! Put it back in the tray!
I left you tons of stuff! You're such a rude dude!
I left you so much! No, I didn't!
This totally tastes Korean. You know when you were teaching
and you'd have rice, and then you'd have pork.
That's been stewed in. Like:
[roaring] It's made with like a gochu jang sauce,
that's what it tastes like, they put it into a taco format.
It definitely tastes Korean. Mixed with Mexican, totally.
[water-y sounds] Martina: Really well done.
With the short rib galbi one, it just tastes like meat that's been braised well.
I win! You know why I won? Because Martina left me nothing to eat for the other one.
Martina: So, the kimchi quesadillas- Simon: I see the seeds on it already.
Oh! What a bizarre experience.
And there's cheese! It's the old kimchi they use for bbeokum bap
That's my favorite kind of kimchi.
That is nice! Old kimchi has a stronger,
more vinegary, spicier kind of flavor to it.
It's not light and crispy with like a ginger-y feel. This is more like, intense.
This is our first experience of kimchi in LA.
I was really worried the kimchi here was gonna suck.
Look at us finally talking about kimchi in a video. Guys, we really like kimchi,
so it's difficult to bring it up in every video
Hence the name: Eat Your Kimchi
[animal growling] I never, ever would have paired cheese and kimchi
in this situation. It tastes amazing.
You know what it tastes like? Mac 'n' cheese with ketchup.
Those kind of combinations where- Hold on, hold on.
Mac 'n' cheese and ketchup is like the sacred bond, it's like peanut butter and jam.
You can't say kimchi and cheese go together like peanut butter and jam.
I'm gonna need you to get one of the napkins out of my pocket.
Your hand's disgusting, both of your hands are disgusting.
You eat like a barbarian. There's something really special
about this meal right here. Not just the taste of it, but the fact that it's such good food.
And we're sitting here on the kerb in a parking lot at a Ralph's
eating this right now. If this was in Korea, a higher end Mexican fusion restaurant
would cost you so freaking much money.
Mmm. Oh yeah.
Oh! Oh yeah!
[sexy laid-back music plays]
Oh!
Oh man.
Are you still eating? Oh, I'm finished.
Winner! And, you know what? The price wasn't that unreasonable.
Both of us got pretty stuffed, for under $20.
I'm full. I'm absolutely full. I couldn't eat anymore.
That's a really good deal. Hell, you spent, like, $50
at Roscoe's Chicken and waffles. Mmm!
Macaroni cheese there, you go: 'That was great!'
If I had to pick a clear winner out of the three, I'd definitely have to go for the kimchi quesadillas.
I'm not sure if everyone else is going to like it, but DAMN that is a great combination.
If you're not necessarily the biggest fan of kimchi, I'd definitely think any one of the tacos are great
Galbi taco, my favorite of the two that we had.
OK, I gotta say the kimchi quesadillas were also my favorite as well.
That flavor was just like a punch to the throat, it was really, really, really, good,
not like a bad punch to the throat. I think that might have come out as weird
I also love the tacos as well. They could do a kimchi inside of one of the tacos,
wouldn't that have been even better? But maybe too weird for some people, I don't know.
It was awesome guys, you have to come to the Kogi trucks.
