It's like all those sushi places where all the chefs are white dudes.

>Mongolian barbecue was created by the Taiwanese comedian and restaurateur Wu Zhaonan. A native of Beijing, Wu fled to Taiwan because of the Chinese Civil War, and opened a street food stall in Yingqiao [zh], Taipei in 1951.[1][2] He originally wanted to call the dish "Beijing barbecue", but because of political sensitivity with the city, which had just recently been designated as the capital of Communist China, he settled with "Mongolian barbecue" instead, even though it had no direct connection to Mongolia.[5]

Would you rather just not have sushi?
The west isn’t flooded with Japanese like it is with Chinese, so we gotta substitute some sushi-assemblers.

And we damn sure aren’t going to have Mongolians at the bajillion Mongolian bbq places that have sprung up over the years.
I mean fuck, *all* of Mongolia is like a bit over 3mil people.
If we wanted them making all the bbq here, we’d literally have to invade Mongolia, enslave the entire population, ship them over here, and assign them to restaurants while keeping a portion reserved for a breeding program so we could maintain inventory when the restaurants need new ones.

Yes, fuck that meme food for retards

Ah ok, well carry on then, angsty zoomer-kun.

This.

People rave about it but it is relatively bland and texturally boring. I honestly wonder if they are faking it or I am missing out on something because I just don't understand the appeal let alone how people rave about it like it is more than raw fish and rice.

Mongo like food

>Don’t be disrespectful of muh ancient traditions, partner, or I’ll gut ya and leave your innards for the buzzards.
> This is authentic Mongolian chow.

>>17331084
Dude, they steal everything
I bet they will create "New Yorker Yingqiao" or "californian Zhaonan", disgusting amerilards

>>17331197
A lot of people like fish.
>I honestly wonder if they are faking
I honestly wonder how someone can genuinely think “They don’t actually like <thing> they’re just pretending to like <thing>”.

It's just a stir-fry buffet, I don't really care who cooks it.

One thing I've noticed about my favorite Mongolian Barbecue place is that there are always a lot of large men eating alone on their lunch break. This includes me. We all seem to have identified this a place where we can eat a ridiculous amount of food but it's still relatively healthy. I love Mongolian Barbecue.

To be fair, EUropeons already stole plenty of cool stuff before burgers got on the scene.

Because people raving about a scrap of fish on rice seems like an excessive and contrived response.

I love food, enjoy trying new things and appreciate fine ingredients and simplicity. But I don’t understand the response that sushi generates from some people. It is similar to oysters: swallowing a slimy lump of meat without chewing and insisting it is AMAZING. I also forage wild mushrooms and while I think they are okay the way people react to them is absurd, even the more flavorful species are rather insipid. It’s not like we’re talking about foods that pack a big punch here which is why I feel like people are exaggerating.

I though the same until I had it fresh in japan

>appreciates fine food
>doesn’t appreciate seafood or wild mushrooms

>>17331525
I had it in Japan too and I still didn’t get the appeal.

>>17331546
I really like seafood, I catch my own crab and prawns and fish a lot. But I don’t spontaneously ejaculate at the thought of eating a piece of raw prawn or fish.

I obviously appreciate wild mushrooms because I forage for them but to hear others talk about them you’d think they were bursting with strong flavors (they aren’t). You can imagine people’s reactions to eating an orange, pineapple, chocolate, vanilla, truffles, black pepper and so one for the first time. It would be an amazing and memorable experience. But eating a chanterelle or lion’s mane or porcini or even a matsutake is hardly an earth shattering experience. Yet some people insist it is which I can’t fathom.

This was my favorite place to eat at the mall
