If pop-ups and guest shifts are like a fleeting romance you'll never quite forget, GRLA is a fling well flung. I'd seen and heard enough to know I was in for a special evening, and it turned out to be everything I'd imagined, and then some.

It's a tough ask to pick just a handful of things off a menu that's begging to be tried in its entirety, but every single one of these choices was a winner:

🧊 District 3
Vietnamese coffee, Bacardi Ocho, St. Germain, Fernet, maraschino

🥢 Fried tripe with pha lau sauce 

🥢 Doenjang madeleine (fresh out of the oven!)

🧊 O-Mericano
Omija, Campari, bianco vermouth, perilla leaf, soda

🥢 Short rib ssam, fermented hairtail sauce

🧊 Ssook Sour
Ssook (Korean mugwort), toasted sesame, ginger, Bombay Sapphire gin, lemon, egg white

@x0ny and @super_100g – you're wonderful hosts, and absolute stars in my book. Thank you for sharing your immense talent and culinary influences, your generosity, and an evening I'll remember for a long, long time to come.
