Food in Tijuana

[SpeedToys]

Why'all are pretty smart around here. Something I've been wondering: How can commodities like meat or oil be cheaper in less developed countries?

Aren't commodities basically fungible? If I'm a rancher or a oil man, why would I sell what I make in Mexico for less than what I can get for it in the USA?

Is the price difference explained by transport costs? Or government subsidies?

Missing a few layers of inspection, _labor costs_. And its harder to find quality cuts as well.

All the good stuff comes from the USA, if it's cheaper, its likely domestic market.

(https://www.meatpoultry.com/articles...-tariffs-on-us#text=Mexico%20 previously%20 issued%20 a%2020,an%20 animal%20 or%20%241.5%20 billion. &text=The%20 US%20 Meat%20 Export%20 Federation%20 (USMEF)%20 lauded%20 the%20 decision.).

OIL is a straight commodity that has a global cost for the raw material, but things fed, grown, butchered and shipped locally, will be priced locally.

How the hell did you two get through 15 pounds of meat? Do you both look like Fred Flintstone? LOL.

Forum did it. .

But 15 lbs. Hmm. How much time do I have?

It's the stupid board auto formatting. The system added a space after the period in ".7 kg".

0. 7 kg is 1. 5 pounds.

The owners of the board are so hyper-focused on "proper" formatting that they have no problem letting the automatic systems screw things up. That's why some girls have "be or see cup tits" and why there's a neighborhood in Tijuana referred to as "5 why 10"

Senior members can go back and edit their posts to fix the fixes. So I can post "b or c cup tits" and "5 y 10" without it autocorrecting

You won't have the freshest breath either after copious amounts of kimchi but no Korean meal is complete without it. Very good for you too with all the natural probiotics.

Rambo,

At Korean BBQs the meats are sliced thin and you can grill as fast as you can eat. The meat tastes delicious burning hot from the grill.

The only problem is the smoke. Without good ventilation, which I never found at any Korean BBQ places, you will smell like grilled meat from head to toe. Just have your girls lick it off in bed.

People on dates avoid Korean BBQs due to the burned-fat smoke. Girls don't like it on their hair and clothes. We just like good eats and don't give a shit about odors. HK girls would never turn anyone down due to meat smoke.

I have never seen this.

The skill to make meat "grey" from "red", is not entirely difficult to manage. Or for the thicker cuts, pink in the middle, brown out the outside.

I have never seen people cooking food for you at a table before.

Most people do cook the meat themselves at Korean BBQ restaurants but I can honestly tell you I've been going to these restaurants (occasionally) for years and have never once cooked the meat myself LOL. At the several restaurants I've been to the waitress has always cooked it for me. But it's not like she's standing there the entire time cooking it. In my experience they're able to do it for multiple tables at once while performing their other table waiting duties (going to the back to get more raw meat, drinks, etc.).

The starters, soups, and meat was fantastic, and except for how they prepare (or lack thereof) the salt block, it was extremely pleasant.

I cook on a salt block at home 2-3 times a week, and you have to clean it. Not that one can be dirty. Its just baked on meat drippings, but all they seem to do is brush off the heavy stuff and that is all.

This is a clean, prepared salt block (Photo 1 with chicken).

This was theirs. The black one.

I didn't get any salt off the block thru it.

It didn't affect the meat to finish from bleu up to my temp on it. But I got no salt.

I go to Korean BBQ restaurants occasionally. I've personally never done any work in terms of grilling my own meats (I don't cook LOL). I always have let the server do it for me. I assume it's the same in Tijuana. That the server will be back and forth between tables grilling the meats for people who prefer not to do it themselves.

I find grilling meats at my table is a pain. It is work and it is slow.

So the people at the table cannot consume food as fast a rate as with pre-cooked buffet.

Since time is limited I don't like the restaurants where you need to cook your own food.

I live next to a Gen Korean BBQ House and I do not go there for the same reasons.

Hmm you must live on microwavable meals then? I didn't find it hard work and the maseros didn't try to rush me out. Tell you what Rambo I will take you there the next time I am in Tijuana and I will grill your meat for you. PM me your number.

Ate at Tabu this afternoon and I'the give the place a pass. Food was okay, but not someplace I'the return. Also the service is kind of slow, but maybe due to short staffing and due to the fact it is in the mall. I've yet to find good find in a mall. I'm enjoying my time back in MX after being in Europe for the past 2 weeks. Vaccine QR codes are a real thing and most places don't allow you to do business without it.

Yeah, was in Zona Rio last week and was pretty surprised when a coffee shop asked me for my proof of Vax. Seems to be a thing in restaurants now.

Mouzone,

Got the name now. It's a very good deal, more delish than Brazil BBQ as you grill the meats hot at the table.

A few of my wingmen can eat a whole cow, so we will have to hit it soon.
