Shortrib Kimchi Quesadilla

April 7th, 2010

This old classic was born on a rainy day back in the first few days of Kogi. Someone had called the health dep on us to rain our parade and we had to shut down for 40 minutes while we were inspected. We passed the test, but we felt bad for the people who had stood by and waited with apprehension and anxiety of whether or not we’d serve again. So we decided to give the people something special, and thus, the Shortrib Kimchi Quesadilla was born! Now it’s back again, so get it while it’s here!

    I was there that night in Silverlake and ordered that combination because I wanted a tastier quesadilla! I didn’t know it was a special. I ALWAYS order this. So good!

    Kogi one of the few good reasons to live in HELL LA!
    Sitting in traffic 2 hours to drive 20 miles sure isn’t a good reason.

    can we just combine a kimchi+shortrib quesadilla together to get this? add shortrib to the kimchi quesadilla and put salsa naranja over it..?

    Why not a Kim Chee/Short Rib Burrito tonite in Westminster?
    They store better in the fridge, and I need a weekend’s supply

    Update ** Finally tried this AMAZING Quesadilla last night and it was amazing. I tried the Black Jack and Sweet Chili (which are awesome as well) but this one was EVERYTHING and more. Loved it.
