Starry Kitchen
Hmmm…How do I put this?  WE’VE BEEN DISCOVERED and we haz (yes HAZ) to shut DOWN! (above: pic of cutely shaped pre-crispified KIMCHI RICE PATTIES…Awwwww) WHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYY? The main culprit (and our favorite friend): YELP!  We were just getting too popular (and at the time of this post we still have a 5-STAR rating too), and we guess someone that wasn’t as excited about our “culinary movement” (if you will) expressed their displeasure and has asked that we stop.  Plus I “GUESS” having a public forum like: a blog, twitter and/or Facebook MIGHT have gotten us found somehow.. right?!?! hehe In the end this was just an experiment to try a ton of dishes we thought would be exciting, and we’ve made a lot of new friends and you guys (those of you that have stopped lurking and started EATING) have helped us shape and refine those flavors to help us graduate to our next step: SK DownTown. One door closes… and another door is KICKED OPEN! But hey, don’t cry and don’t worry.  We’re not going away.  We’re just getting started because they found us TOO LATE!  We got all 3 of you now (hey mom, don’t leave now ‘cause it’s just gettin’ good!) as our loyal followers (and new friends ^_^) so hopefully we can continue growing this together. Come tonight, and come inside through the front door this time for an “intimate dinner party” as we say “Goodbye” to the good times on the “shady” back-patio service area that once was as we shutdown our “covert culinary operation” from… yes… our apartment.  But come so we can share the memories, and talk about our expansion into Downtown (which the man can’t do ANYTHING about because that’s LEGIT… SUCKAS!!!) Stay in touch! Hey, don’t forget you can email us anytime if you want more info on what’s going on and our future as well.  The email address should be on the left.  We’d love to hear from you! DOWNTOWN SCHEDULE: We will continue updating our DownTown services here too.  I’ll update the schedule, but just in case you wanted to know here’s the current future SK DownTown LA schedule: Dinner: Thursday, Dec. 3rd (6-9p) Lunchie Munchies: Saturday, Dec. 5th (12-3p) Lunchie Munchies: Saturday, Dec. 12th (12-3p) DON’T FORGET we provide parking validation.  And at night, it’s FREE FOR TWO HOURS!  I know I write a lotta jibba jabba, but I feel bad a lot of you didn’t find it this last Saturday and coulda saved you the headache (and maybe $3-6). TUESDAY?  I thought you guys served on WEDNESDAY??? And yes, I know it’s Tuesday and that we normally serve on Wednesday… but we were ALWAYS planning on Tuesday this week because it’s Thanksgiving and most people are gone and we didn’t want to be lonely on a Wednesday. What’s for Din Din? For our dinner party (aka the unofficial SK Korean Food Festival), we’ll be having the following for your consumption pleasure: Meat: Korean Beef Short-Ribs (Kalbi) Veggie: Crispy Kimchi Rice Patties (aka “Game Changer #1”.. and I’m serious about that too!) Side: Korean Glass Noodles (Jap Chae) And for all the n00bs and our Korean friends out there, the burrito has a special surprise.  Instead of the normal medium grain sushi rice (and for the record, REAL sushi rice is indeed short grain, but trust me when I say medium grain is pretty close to it AND tastes so much better than long grain IMHO), we stuff the burrito with KIMCHI FRIED RICE.  Combined with your Kalbi, it’s a Korean EXPLOSION of flavor (ka-BOOOOOOOOOM!) NoHo, please “Never Say Goodbye!” Otherwise, we’ll still be cataloging our DownTown adventures AND our foodie adventures here through the blog.  So don’t check out yet (damnit, I lost you already didn’t I?!?!?)  So we’re not going away, and because of that we dedicate this music video montage to you… our readers and eaters! And if you do watch the video, I would say that this montage is a good representation of how SK events were like here in NoHo… kinda of ^_^: Just in case that wasn’t good enough, this might be a TAD bit better ^_^: Xoxo, TEAM SK

The LAST OFFICIAL shot from the back patio

Come tonight, and come inside through the front door this time for an “intimate dinner party” as we say “Goodbye” to the good times on the “shady” back-patio service area that once was as we shutdown our “covert culinary operation” from… yes… our apartment.  But come so we can share the memories, and talk about our expansion into Downtown (which the man can’t do ANYTHING about because that’s LEGIT… SUCKAS!!!)

Stay in touch!

Hey, don’t forget you can email us anytime if you want more info on what’s going on and our future as well.  The email address should be on the left.  We’d love to hear from you!
