Bulgogi House AYCA Korean BBQ opening in La Palma

 



Bulgogi House is set to open its third All-You-Can-Eat Korean barbecue location in La Palma this September, expanding the chain into Orange County. Owner Young Park aims to contemporize the new restaurant’s atmosphere with unique features and innovative technologies—such as an underground ventilation system—rarely seen at other Korean barbecue establishments. But even with all these new implementations, Park intends on producing the same trademark sauces, marinades, and quality meats that initially brought his company success.

The new Bulgogi House will not only feature eight HD televisions and three projection screens for easy sports viewing, but will also introduce a ventilation system rarely seen at other Korean barbecue establishments. The air ducts will be placed on the side of the grill to funnel the smoke into vents underground, as opposed to the standard method of stationing them overhead. Each table will also have its own motor to maximize suction and efficiency, unlike other restaurants that use one motor to accommodate four to six tables. This new ventilation system will help minimize the barbecue smell left on clothing from smoke emitted by the grill.

With Korean barbecue becoming one of the trendiest food genres in the country, many of La Palma’s residents are excited to have Bulgogi House in the city. Even Mayor Steve Shanahan expressed his interest in the restaurant.

Other highlights of the new restaurant are its full service bar, self-serve buffet section, and special additions exclusive to the La Palma menu—e.g. bacon-wrapped asparagus, bulgogi sliders, spicy pork tacos, and much more.

About Bulgogi House:
Bulgogi House was founded by Young Park in 1992 when he combined fresh local ingredients with his industry experience to create a quality Korean barbecue experience in Los Angeles. However, the true foundations of his restaurants are its quality meats—from the 1855 Black Angus beef company and the Compart Duroc pork company—and his grandmother’s secret sauce, which customers often ask for by the bottle. She created the recipe while living in Suwon, a South Korean city known for its barbecue, and, since then, it has been used as both a dipping sauce and marinade at Park’s restaurants. She also taught her grandson the intricate process of steeping the meat in her marinade for at least 24 hours, making the beef tender and flavorful.  Young Park brought this unique, time-tested recipe to California over two decades ago, and it’s still only available at Bulgogi House restaurants.

True Sol Nutrition Raspberry Ketone, Omega-3, Garcinia Cambogia + GIVEAWAY













Introducing great supplement by True Sol nutrition. I like their Omega-3 because it has lemon flavor and not fishy or anything. Their Raspberry Ketone isn't raspberry color, and I like the fact I don't have to take 30 minutes before a meals.

Raspberry Ketones
Raspberry Ketones Raspberry Ketone, a naturally occurring compound found in red raspberries, increases a specific hormone in your body called Adiponectin, which is responsible for regulating your body's metabolism.

Bifidus Best Advanced Probiotic Supplement




















Probiotics are helpful to us in a number of ways which have been studied and documented, especially where a microflora imbalance exists. Probiotics improve the function of the immune system, reduce populations of harmful microorganisms by competing for resources and provide numerous digestive support benefits as well. Some of the more commonly documented functions of probiotics include: alleviation of eczema, irritable bowel syndrome and food allergies, inflammation management, vitamin production and enhanced mineral absorption.

Bifidus Best Advanced Probiotic formula is made with only the highest quality ingredients and was designed to promote digestive system wellness, support the body’s internal microbial balance for digestive tract health and improve overall immune system health.
                                      
Each capsule of Bifidus Best Advanced Probiotic contains 5.06 billion CFU (colony forming units). CFU describe the number of active, live organisms instead of the number of all the bacteria – dead, inactive and alive – in a laboratory sample. Only the viable organisms are considered to be probiotics. “Viable” means that the microbes are capable of living under the proper circumstances.

Probiotics containing more than 5.06 billion CFU per serving are considered new generation, high dose products. They are more potent, more effective than the old generation of probiotics (containing less than 1 billion CFU per serving). Bifidus Best Advanced Probiotic formula also has acid-resistant strains and a new delivery technology which protects the strains in stomach acid – so the difference is noticed very quickly.

DSpeed is a delicious, natural peach- flavored, sugar free fast-melt tablet that melts in your mouth in seconds. It is formulated with only the highest quality of Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) from lanolin and helps the body replenish this nutrient to fight off possible Vitamin D deficiencies.

Organized by The International Taste & Quality Institute (iTQi) in Belgium, DSpeed was tested by a taste panel of Chefs and Sommeliers within Europe's most prestigious culinary and sommeliers associations. The judging process was conducted on a blind basis without any kind of labeling. DSpeed earned a three star Superior Taste Award by The International Taste & Quality Institute (iTQi) in Belgium.

ABOUT VITAMIN D3 (CHOLECALCIFEROL)
Vitamin D is a form of steroid that promotes normal levels of calcium and phosphorus in the body. It is commonly found in sources such as eggs, fish, cod liver oil, and whole milk and has five forms: D1, D2, D3, D4, and D5. In regard to health, the two most important forms are D2, which is called ergocalciferol, and D3, which is known as cholecalciferol. Vitamin D2 is produced in plants, while sunlight exposure causes the skin to produce vitamin D3. Both D2 and D3 are often added to nutritional supplements as it was previously thought that both forms were equally effective, but research has shown that D3 is more potent than D2 and remains active in the body longer than D2 1-3. Vitamin D3 is also converted in the body to the most biologically active form of vitamin D called calcitriol 4.
