B3: Be Bim Bop is Korean comfort food. Rice, veggies, a little bit of beef, are combined in a bowl and a fried egg is placed on top. Mix it all up with some Soy Sauce or something more spicy if you're adventurous, and you got yourself a truly tasty treat. It may sound a little heavy, but it's not, it's stick to your ribs home cookin' from the Far East. I mention this because this afternoon I went into Ann Arbor and had dinner at Steve's Lunch - a genuine 10x20 diner, no tables, just a counter and a grill, where you would expect greasy spoon style fare but in fact you get exceptional Be Bim Bop. It's not just me - this blogger loves it too, and this guy hasn't found a substitute even in ethnic restaurant heaven, San Francisco. A certain character in Apple Pie also had a penchant for Steve's B3. The Be Bim Bop at Steve's Lunch is a little bit of Ann Arbor colloquialism that you should sample if you're in town. But get yourself hungry first.
