Double Date

 
Last night, Wayne and I went on a double date with our friends Marissa and Bob. We went to Bop N Grill in Rogers Park since it is pretty close to Wayne and Marissa.
What was pretty cool was that Marissa didn't know that this place was so close to her apartment. I like it when people find great places to eat nearby. :)

As for the food, Wayne ordered the Bbq chicken while I got the Bi Bim burger. The chicken was really good and tender, but I wasn't too impressed by the rice it came with. The rice was pretty mushy. But my Bi Bim burger was really good. It had a fried egg, cheese, gochujang (chili pepper paste), lettuce and some other ingredients. I pretty much inhaled my burger. I had been packing all day and was super hungry. What I liked a lot about the Bi Bim burger was that it had some regular bi bim bap ingredients.

We also shared some kimchi fries with Marissa and Bob. On Yelp a lot of people didn't like the kimchi fries, but I thought they were pretty good. The kimchi was caramelized and the fries were topped with nacho cheese, bits of bacon and topped with chives.  YUM bacon. Then again, if you put kimchi in front of me I'll devour it. Korean genes yo!

We thought the food was pretty good. Some people may say that it's a little pricey but I think if you get one of their signature burgers, it's worth the price. In short, we had a fun time on our double date and look forward to dining again with Marissa and Bob!
