*Bump* (or multiple *bumps* in light of this topic's long dormancy)
A few nights ago I attended a wedding reception with two buffet table lines. One table was labeled the "taco table"; the other table was labeled the "bibimbop table".
This was Northern Minnesota. Guess which table had the most traffic? 🙂 I boosted the bibimbap table traffic simply by recommending it to my fellow guests. It was clear that tacos were more familiar. We benefitted from the shorter line. (I don't think anyone left hungry, regardless of the buffet they'd chosen.)
The dishes in the Bibimbap line were: coconut rice, larb, vegan larb, Thai curry, kimchi, fresh radishes, fresh chopped cilantro, marinated kale, pickled jalapenos, and probably one or two things I'm forgetting. There were NO eggs involved, either fried or cooked.
I'm sorry to report that I have no photos from that night. It was all delicious. I'm happy to report that the catering company, associated with a local restaurant, was happy to provide me with recipes when I asked.
This may have been a Northwoods take on bibimbap (not a bowl to be had!) but the flavors were delicious and it was nice to see a collection of family and friends be pleasantly exposed to a new cuisine. I do wonder whether the absence of egg changed the name or serving manner. I'd appreciate an answer, particularly by PM.
I'll post information about the restaurant and a discussion of their approach to food, and bibimbap, when I get around to it.
