"I recently became privy to the phrase “Sliding Door Moment,” and now I can’t stop using it. Last week, I was looking forward to going to Sun Nong Dan in Koreatown in hopes of ordering a spicy, bubbling cauldron of galbi jjim at one of their tented outdoor tables. When I got there, I was turned away. They were closing early. That door closed, so I crossed the street and stumbled into Ham Ji Park, where another door, as they say, opened. When their famous famous pork ribs arrived at my table - piled high, sizzling on a skillet with crispy edges, a caramelized char, and a hint of spice - I knew it was meant to be. A sliding door moment, if you will. If like me, you find it hard not to order ribs when you see them on a menu, I challenge you to find a better version than these in all of LA. -Arden Shore, Senior Editor" - the infatuation los angeles crew
