OZ Korean BBQ

Today is Christmas. It really didnt feel like it though. This was one Christmas that we did not set up our fake Christmas tree, so there was no lights, ornaments, or presents under the tree. We did have cookies, however. My younger sister wanted to do something today. We didnt know which businesses were open, but I knew someone who was going to OZ Korean BBQ today and we both havent been there yet, so we wanted to try it out. I looked up the location on the map and it looked pretty far, but when I drove to OZ it was actually pretty quick. I think that whenever I drive to places, it doesnt seem as far because I am the one who does the driving. When we got there we decided to have the All-You-Cant eat special, which was around $19 a person. The appetizers came by and they were sort of different than what other Korean restaurants gave me. Next, the meat came by and there was five different types. There was also tomato and onions you could put on the grill, but I was only in the mood for meat. And, I am not a fan of onions. The meat was pretty good, but we had a hard time finishing it all and there was still some meat left when were finished eating.

Cookies Drive-In

Grilled Chicken Breast Sandwich
The sandwich I shared w/my sister
BBQ Bacon Hamburger
I really like eating at Cookies. Its a local fast food drive in. My mother use to work here when I was a child. The place is owned and manage by Chinese people. There was a time period when I went there often and the owner remembered me. When I go to Cookies, I usually order the grilled chicken breast sandwich. During one of the first times that I had the sandwich I thought it was purely delicious. I like everything that they put in the sandwich. Usually I am not a fan of pickles, but I like how it goes well the sandwich. I also like their bun. It is soft and its not the same as other buns from other fast food places. Another things about chicken sandwiches is that they usually dont come with onions and neither does this sandwich. This is one the few chicken sandwich that gives me enough mayonnaise or whatever that white sauce is. And, I like that since I dont like onions on my sandwiches. I remembered that I would occasionally come here with my sister and we would share the grilled chicken breast sandwich with each other. But, once we started eating it, we both realized that we wanted the whole sandwich for ourselves.
Besides grilled chicken breast sandwich, I have ordered other items on the menu. I have ordered their BBQ Bacon Hamburger and I like it. Not just because the sandwich has bacon, but also because its good. They actually have a really interesting and reasonably priced menu. Cookies has ostrich burger, zucchini sticks, and corn dogs. There are times when I am thinking I wish this fast food joint had something different or unique and thats what Cookies has managed to provide. I havent had the nerve to try the ostrich burger yet, maybe one day. I like that you could sit inside or on one of the stools outside. When I go to Cookies, I notice that it is popular among the older crowd and not just appealing to young ones.
