As we transition to Autumn, back to school season, hopefully cooler weather soon(!) season, feel free to post about your culinary adventures. 
Here’s something to start the thread…
Kae Sung Market
A huge thanks to @foodshutterbug for the rec, Kae Sung Market is a small, unassuming place. As we walk in, we’re greeted by a nice Korean couple who are all smiles and eager to help. Kae Sung Market sells their own Handmade Kimchi in a variety of sizes:
The most appealing thing for us was that they sold not only their own Kimchi but that they had small jars of Kimchi as well. We stopped by the popular Seoul Do Soon Kimchi shop in Garden Grove that many people like and all they sell were the gigantic massive jars of Kimchi (that probably wouldn’t fit in our refrigerator) 
, so Kae Sung’s small jars were appreciated.
The taste is incredible! 
There’s a nice bit of funk that you want from good Kimchi, but it’s not the super fermented variety (that’s super pungent). Nice spiciness, but not overwhelming. A really nice balance of fermented Cabbage, Radish with Garlic, Ginger, Green Onions and they use Baby Shrimp and Salted Anchovies as part of the fermentation, to give it this alluring backnote of piquant brininess. 
Tip: Try it as a condiment on top of Burgers (we tried it with some homemade Turkey Burgers) and it was so good! It also works on top of Salads if you don’t have a dressing handy (according to our friends who’ve tried Kae Sung’s Kimchi before).
We also showed them pictures from @foodshutterbug for their other Vegetable Kimchi (the rarer ones), and older Korean woman who was running the place smiled at us, saying, “Ah! Yes, soon.” So maybe these are seasonal (or sold out) Kimchi that are coming back soon?

Chef-Owner Curtis Stone (Host of Top Chef Masters)'s steakhouse has been serving up a variety of Sandwiches for lunch for a while now. We finally made it out to try.
Pastrami Sandwich (Sauerkraut, Swiss, Russian Dressing on Rye):
This was a disappointment: Salty, average-tasting Pastrami (nowhere close to Langer’s legendary version), it was a bit chewy as well, and the Bread (from Bub and Grandma’s) was shockingly dry. The whole Sandwich felt off, and was not a good Reuben, nor good Pastrami. 
Housemade Chips:
Their Housemade Chips were OK. A few stray pieces tasted slightly stale.
Meatball Sandwich (with Pomodoro Sauce, Broccoli Rabe Pesto and Mozzarella on Ciabatta):
You would think that Housemade Meatballs from a restaurant that has its own Butcher Shop, and is a Steakhouse by night would have some incredible Meatball Sandwiches. Unfortunately the Meatball Sandwich was really salty, peppery and rather basic tasting. The Meatballs were a bit dense and dryish.
2nd Visit:
We wanted to give them another chance, so stopped by again to try their…
Gwen “Grinder” (Calabrese Salami, Ham, Mortadella, Provolone, Tomato, Pickled Onion, Spicy Aioli, Cherry Peppers & Sherry Vinaigrette on a Sesame Roll):
Gwen’s Grinder is the only Sandwich that is not using Bub and Grandma’s Bread (they said they got it from a “local bakery” but declined to say which one). Sadly that was the weakest part of this Sandwich (the Sesame Roll was dry and not very good).
However, the rest of the Grinder was tasty: We loved the combination of Calabrese Salami, Ham, Mortadella and Provolone. There were some good porcine, savory flavors combining together. This was a good Italian Sandwich despite the dry Sesame Roll, and we’d be glad to pick one up if we were in the area, much better than various Italian Sandwiches we’ve had around the city, but not as good as Gjusta’s legendary version, nor Wax Paper’s.
Meatball Sandwich (with Pomodoro Sauce, Broccoli Rabe Pesto and Mozzarella on Ciabatta):
We love a good Meatball Sandwich, so we were hoping our 1st visit might’ve been a fluke: On this 2nd try, Gwen’s Meatball Sandwich is better, less of a salt bomb than the first visit, but still on the aggressively salty and peppery side (@TheCookie). The Pomodoro Sauce is decent, tart-zesty, but not as much of a flavor infusion as one would hope.
Lastly, I don’t know why, but they char the bottom of the Meatball Sandwich to burnt (see pics), and it was soggy(!), so that was a big distraction as well. Overall it was better this time than our previous visit, but we love the fantastic Meatball Sandwich from Huckleberry much more.

I think chorizo flavored eggs taste great! But I know exactly what you are talking about, my friend said the same thing.
