June 19th 2026: Jinjee, Boston

 Today, while in Boston,

YMCA of Greater Boston

we started out with breakfast at the Northeastern University

location of Pavement Coffeehouse, 

getting the Blueberry Muffin, Brownie,

Watermelon Limeade,

and the Turkey Avo (sliced turkey, swiss, avocado, lettuce, red onion, garlic aioli) on Rosemary Salt bagel with Swiss Cheese.

 Nothing special in my opinion.

Later for lunch, we decided to check out the new high end Korean BBQ place in town at 161 Brighton Avenue in Allston, Jinjee. Really nice inside to begin with.

We got the Wagyu Jeon (egg battered wagyu slices, pan-seared until golden),

the Mul Makguksu (chilled buckwheat noodles in refreshing beef broth),

the Bibim Makguksu (spicy gochujang-dressed buckwheat noodles),

the Bansang (American Heritage Duroc (Prok Jowl, Mainated Pork shoulder, pork belly, Pork shoulder),

which came with side dishes

and dessert,

along with an attentive waiter to boot who cooked our meat to perfection for us.

Best Korean BBQ experience ever, even better than Hyun in NYC, which we checked out three years ago. Expensive of course, and the little one didn't take to the cold noodles much.
