I returned to California last week and Casey was at the San Jose airport to meet me and my 80 lbs of luggage. He brought me to a romantic little spot in Santa Clara called 99 Chicken. It is a Korean restaurant that specializes in, well, chicken. The restaurant was patronized mostly by Koreans and the waiter (Casey says he is the owner, but I'm not sure how he knows) spoke English quite quickly and confidently, although I couldn't really understand him. We told him that we wanted some beer and he told us that we wanted this:
1.5 L of OB (Oriental Brewery)! Here is Casey enjoying his first delicious glass. We also ordered the assortment platter of fried chicken, which included regular fried chicken, fried chicken with sauce (kind of a sweet and sour), spicy sauce fried chicken, and fried chicken with honey on it. This really was some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. All the varieties were delicious (well, "sauce" was kind of boring). Here's another picture Casey took of me with a huge plate of fried chicken in front of me to add to the collection:
From these pictures you can also see the interesting choice of wall decorations. They seem to be movie posters from Korea and pictures of people eating fried chicken.
We had a very good time and the food was delicious!

Yay! It's great to have your precious moments in action again. Glad to see you're carrying on the fried chicken theme. Nice choice.
I miss beer, that looks very delicious!
Welcome back Emily! We'll have to get together soon.
Looks like good chicken. OB is probably #3 on my list of east Asian light beers, after Kirin and Tsing Tao.
Glad to see the blog back up and running. Sometimes I get panicky when I think I've run out of things on the internet to read.
Well framed photos you two. Im intrigued by the decor, sounds like pop art meets Col. Sanders.
Does Casey really know the owner? Have you gotten involved in some crazy korean cock fighting underworld Casey.
