Food Crawl: Chego!
Our next stop was Chego!, a Korean fusion restaurant 
located in the corner of a strip mall.
Chego! is a lively, bouncing place.  You either seat yourself or stand.  
All tables are communal.  There's a lot of wacky stuff on the wall 
shelves.
Our "ooey gooey fries": fries with various cheeses (some such as jack 
cheese that were melted; others such as cotija that were crumbled), sour 
cream, chilies, cilantro, and whole cloves of garlic.  I thought they 
were decent cheesy fries and a heart attack on a plate.

E says Chego!'s menu is filled with funky combinations that you wouldn't think go together but do.
Food Crawl: O B Bear
Our final food crawl spot: the nondescript O B Bear.
Basically, it's a Korean bar.  There also some booths to the right 
(not pictured).
E brought us here because he swears by the the Korean fried 
chicken.  These are the regular fried chicken wings.  I thought they 
were good (but not in the same league as KyoChon).  
I learned to be careful when dipping; the sweet sauce can easily cause 
the wings to be too sweet.


In the background are pickled daikon (nice but rather sweet and quickly 
got to me) , shredded lettuce with thousand island dressing, and 
chilies.
The spicy fried chicken wings were alright in my opinion but a bit too 
overwhelming stickily sauced.
