Sweet, thanks for the heads up...I want someone new in my takeout rotation.
Hopdoddy isn't offering this deal anymore, sadly. I called them and they said it's not available. No Happy Hour either, despite being open indoors now.

Ahh yeah... Baekjong... but not AYCE. 
Still haven't figured out why they dropped the Kang Ho Dang part of their name... I think he's a comedian who first funded the chain.

My wife got takeout from Wagyu tonight - she got the Wagyu beef plate. The overall taste of the meat was pretty good. I thought it could have used a little more teriyaki though. I was expecting it to be drenched in teriyaki sauce since a lot of the reviews said the meat was on the sweeter side. It had good flavor as is though. The meat is much better quality than a place like flame broiler.
She also picked up some of the prepackaged and marinated bulgogi. 6 pounds for $30. So we are going to cook that tomorrow for dinner.

Try the ?Grilled Prime Beef? with Japanese curry from ?The Rice? in Foothill Ranch. It?s like Yoshinoya on steroids.https://yelp.to/qTKq/6cLW6PYUz9
So I just saw pictures online. Yoshinoya Japan have the following: curry bowl, kimchi bowl, different types of beef bowls, side dishes (pickle set, kimchi set, coleslaw set) egg over the food.
Another thing that stands out is in Japan they use actual bowls and have nice looking condiment box that you see at a typical ramen place in the US. In Japan, wood tile floors, recess lighting, nice architecture features in some restaurants, nice cushion seating.
Yoshinoya is publicly traded in Japan. ;D

Yep... the Gov said 25% indoor dining is now allowed.
Until the next spike.

404 error.
I guess people prefer a longer wait for a less than $3 burger?

Some of the restaurants we have been to have been really busy and it doesn't look like there is any capacity limit. Maybe because they removed some tables it qualifies but seems like some of these booths are closer than 6 ft.
But I'm a hypocrite because I ate there anyways.
Won't matter... I think purple is going to put OC in outside dining only again... hopefully the weathers stays moderate the next 2-3 weeks.

We have a circuit of a few plebeian restaurant choices that we repeat for lunch and dinner. Since March, I think we?ve tried two places outside that circuit when craving Persian food but were not happy enough with the quality of take home/pick up experience or ordering options to add to the circuit.
I?m seriously sick and tired of Raising Canes. But it has filled the need for quick and basic when we just don?t want to cook and cleanup another lunch.
We also occasionally toss a Lucille?s in which is not a regular in the circuit. Every time I?ve picked up there it has been a ?whoa? they?re busy. A Friday/Saturday 6PM pickup honestly looked like they had more tables set up on the parking lot filled than they had pre-pandemic inside. Inside at pickup is a line of boxes waiting for pickup.

I walked by Selma's Chicago Pizza in SJC over the weekend and saw people happily eating pizza inside and people at the bar without empty barstools in between. Was surprised, didn't think that was allowed.

During the no dining inside or outside time period we saw many places still doing outdoor.... AND indoor dining.
Some places are just throwing caution to the wind.
A friend of mine told me America is like that one guy in a zombie movie who is bitten but doesn't tell anyone... and then he ends up turning and biting everybody.
That's why our numbers are where they are.
