👋 Ryan here. I ordered one of my favorite simple dishes recently and wanted to share.
🍲 The intrigue: The grilled veggies ($12) at Soju in Garfield are a meal unto themselves, even though they're just a side on the Korean restaurant's menu.
🍠 Dig in: Massive disks of sweet potato, beets and zucchini are fork-tender with an exquisite char.
It adds just enough bitterness to the succulent vegetables.
😊 The vibe: I ordered takeout, but have visited Soju many times. It's the perfect atmosphere between upscale and casual.
