Koryo - Restaurant #14; Jerry Springer the Opera - Performance #5; Beer #14 Skinny Dip


On Saturday we ate at a great restaurant named Koryo in our neighborhood. Kate had bo bim bop - a sweetish chicken, vegtable, rice, and noodle dish -- and it was delicious. Susan had a yummy garlic, peppers, onions and shrimp dish. They were both fantastic. This was our first introduction to Korean food and we will definitely be returning to this establishment soon!

Afterwards, we walked over to a local playhouse and saw a really over the top send up of the Jerry Springer show (and opera). Great premises, but the plot got a bit thin and the comedy broader and broader as the show progressed. Despite that, the music and the singing were both very good. Still we left wishing that more had been done to move the story along.
We came home to try out a new beer, Skinny Dip, which is made by the same company that makes Fat Tire which was mentioned earlier in the blog quite favorably. Skinny Dip is a summer beer, lighter than the amber Fat Tire, and it has a great taste initially, but we both agreed that it's afterbite left a little something to be desired over the long haul. We'll probably stick with Fat Tire when it comes to the New Belgium brewery.
