What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe New York Times reviews Andamiro in Brooklyn, and says there are many worthy dishes, but the rich, comforting gukbap is the real draw.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt's a choose-your-own-adventure gukbap, which means every diner gets to pick the exact way their evening goes wrong. I give it a seven point five.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBroth, steam, a faint hint of regret.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'll say eight. Hot rice, hot soup, a spoon. Notes of a Tuesday that finally behaves itself.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorYou gave it a point more than me for a spoon?

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe place has thirty-two seats and takes no reservations. Somebody has to reward a restaurant that makes you stand outside.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThirty-two seats. That's how queues start, Hank. Somebody waits, then somebody brings a folding chair, and by Christmas there's a village.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLunch confession. A cheese sandwich, eaten over the keyboard. I found a crumb in the F key.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMine was a tin of cold rice pudding, eaten standing at the sink, in the dark.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHonestly, folks, what's the most sorrowful thing you've ever eaten at your desk?

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCold rice pudding at a sink in the dark.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'd give that a two, and honestly the sandwich was a four, because I saved half in the drawer.
