I used to think Korean restaurants were pretty much all the same, particularly when it comes to “All You Can Eat” options. The menus and selections tend(ed) to be standard everywhere. Even the prices were/are similar.
Marieta and I discovered Master Kims about 3 years ago, which was always excellent. It’s right off the 215 on Durango (SW LV). For $25 (lunch) we enjoyed the AYCE feature and always departed more than full and satisfied. However, much to our regret, Master Kims has recently declined in quality on our two visits this summer. The final straw was the removal of their potato salad. Now, all their side dishes are spicy leafy vegetables, which just aren’t as good. The price also increased, which is to be expected. Nonetheless, we think we can do better elsewhere. Oh, and forget about Lee’s Korean BBQ Woonamjung on Spring Mountain in Korean Plaza. That used to be great. Now, it smells and is terrible. We can do better than this–that’s the reason for this post.
How and when did standing ovations get to be compulsory?
It used to be when an audience stood up and applauded right after a show, that was a rare display of mass appreciation reserved for only the most extraordinary performances. A standing ovation was the audience’s reaction to a moment of true greatness.
Now, it’s become a participation trophy. Standing ovations are meaningless.
Making History: Last week….my recommended round-robin teasers posted here at my website and on POINTSPREDS.CA went an astounding 78 wins and 27 losses, for a net win of +55.6 units — I doubt that any football bettor — anywhere, anytime — has ever produced a +55.6 unit gain in the first full week of preseason games.
In the opening first full week of NFL preseason games, I’m going to skip sides and totals and instead focus on teasers. More specifically, I’ll focus on two-team 6-point teasers.
Here’s a ten-minute video tribute to Rich Korbin (1949-2022), a devoted husband, father, and friend.
Rich worked for PokerStars.com for many years and was instrumental in the growth of the game worldwide. He was also an avid sports fan and gambler.
Here’s a look at his life and legacy to the accompaniment of three of Rich’s favorite songwriter-performers — Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, and Joni Mitchell.
This video will be played at his tribute in Las Vegas on July 24, 2022.

Here’s the next segment of my new series of concert reviews and details of what I remember about various shows, performances, and events over the years that I’ve attended. Some of these reviews will be short, while others will be much longer and more detailed. It all depends on what I remember and what research is available on those old concert dates. I hope you enjoy reliving these musical experiences with me.
