No wonder this place is always so dead.

So I just walked into Miga, a Korean BBQ restaurant that usually appears sad and desperate from the outside. Since the city is in a frenzy with both the flyers and phillies playing on this gorgeous saturday afternoon, and since there seems to be a line of drunks hanging out of the entrance to Good Dog (where I'd normally pop in for a pre-work "snack") I decided to give Miga a try.

Ignoring my urge to check the yelp reviews and the fact that the beer selection was pathetic (which I can let slide since there is no shortage of great beer in the area, perhaps they can make up for it in the food department...) I walked in with tremendously low expectations, daring them to prove me wrong.

Which is great for them! Except they didn't.

Strike 1- When I tried to sit at the bar I was told that there was no bartender on duty and I was directed to a table. I find that when dining alone one feels less lonely at the bar than they do at a table. Not to mention the bar looked very inviting with a flat screen TV turned on back there.

Strike 2- When I tried to order one if their salads I was told that they didn't have it, along with quite a few other menu items! I was holding a new menu that had not yet gone live. Well why do I have this nonexistent menu?

Strike 3- Avocado was not fresh. Gears ground. Nuff said.

In the spirit of baseball season I'll refrain from calling a strike 4, because that's just silly.

However I will say that I get no cell phone service in here (at all, not even texting) so I can't post this entry, I'll have to wait. That's an error. No wonder this place is always so dead.

Off to work ;)
