never heard the mongolian bbq, not sure they are up here ?

thanks tina!
There is women who compete in the meets, not as many as men, but a fair number. I wouldnt worry about #'s what so ever, its really not that important, everyone is chearing for everyone. I would guess alot of girls are squatting 150, benching 100 and maybe deadlifting 175. I really have no clue though.

You should do it for sure!

[tkinsley]

Ha! I'd kick all their asses, then.... hmmmm.....

I AM a bit competitive, ya know.



Thanks, Frank!

How YOU doin?

If you ever come down, we'll go. They will ask us not to come back.

You got a huge long buffet of raw, sliced meat. Fill your bowl. Add a huge pile of raw veggies on top. Put on all sorts of sauces and toppings. Then they stir fry it for you on a HUGE flat wok/grill. Then, you take it back to the table and either eat it with rice (the inferior style of bbq, in my opinion) or stuff it into puffed sesame pockets, which are like the best tasting puffed bread thing you've ever had.

Then, since it's all you can eat, you make them regret allowing you inside the place by going back 5 or 6 times.

Oh, if you go to one without me, skip the "free soup" and appetizers that they toss down on the table while you wait. They just take up space that's better filled by the bbq. It's a trick!

Oh, and wear loose pants.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm.... how about we all go get our eats on after next year's race, or whatever that thing is that I said I was in for?

There's a pseudo-Mongolian BBQ right outside the base gates; it is in no way the same experience. There's something about piling raw flesh from so many animals on one plate and dousing it with some hot oil that just requires a larger line to truly appreciate.

Sounds like I need to scout some locations... I'm on it.

I once went to an all you can eat pizza place in the states, with 6 of my friends after we just climbed a mountain. LOL.. I thought we where going to get kicked out for eating all the food.

i haven't had a chance to go. there was one in columbus, OH when i went a few years ago to the arnold, but we didn't go. There's also one in kalamazoo, MI i think, but when i go up there for concerts, it's night time, and already closed.

Frank,
Sorry I am late to the party. The pics are much appreciated. It's great to see the man in action.

Mongolian BBQ is freaking awesome. . . . . (drool)


Nice pics Frank, thanks for sharing

There are several Mongolian BBQ places in KC. Actually, you can get pretty much any style of cuisine in buffet form... Italian, Mexican, Chinese or you can go to one of the casinos and get it all. I'm surprised I don't weigh 400lbs.

Oh yeah, good job Frank!
