A NEW Truly Unique Discovery! Burning Rice 🍚 🔥 DF A NEW Truly Unique Discovery! 
Burning Rice 🍚 🔥 DFW Locations 

🌟 TAG, COMMENT and RESHARE with family and friends who love uniquely different delicious destinations because we found another one today. Unique warm crispy rice mixed with savory and flavorful Korean sauces and spices to create some unforgettable deliciousness. 

👨‍🍳 @theburningrice

📍520 Grapevine Hwy #200, Hurst, TX 76054

🖥 https://www.burningrice.com/

😋 A SERIOUS MUST VISIT! 

📝 Burning Rice is a fast-casual Korean restaurant concept centered around customizable bibimbap (traditional Korean rice bowls). Often described as a "Korean Chipotle," it combines the speed and personalization of a build-your-own assembly line or kiosk with the sizzling SKILLETS. It's a comforting experience of traditional Korean hot stone pots that come out smoking, and sizzling, with airamatics that set your foodie senses on fire. 

The Vessel: Diners choose between a standard bowl or a sizzling hot stone pot. The hot stone option keeps the meal steaming hot and creates the signature "burning," crunchy, crispy layer of rice at the bottom.

Base Choices: Select from options like steamed white rice, brown rice, veggie-stirred rice, or kimchi-stirred rice.

Proteins: Add freshly grilled Korean barbecue meats or plant-based options, including bulgogi beef, spicy pork, spicy garlic pork, BBQ chicken, short ribs (galbi), crispy chicken, or tofu.

Toppings & Sauces: Layer on fresh vegetables like carrots, zucchini, spinach, mushrooms, kimchi, and japchae (glass) noodles, finished with a fried egg and bold, house-made Korean specialty sauces.

Trey's Take: 
A truly unique concept that's family owned and operated by the original creator. The flavor profiles and airamatics that fill the air will cause your foodie senses to be on full tilt. I was impressed with the savory Korean deliciousness it was hard to stop eating.

Trey's Chow Down Travel 🛍 

Trey's Chow Down Road Trip'in the USA 🇺🇸 for history and deliciousness. We can't tell stories to the world if we don't visit. We're now on state 19 in the USA for deliciousness, history and fun..

We're so grateful for the private tour, tasting and extremely friendly staff at Tabasco and Avery Island Louisiana. Jana and I had an unforgettable time learning the history behind the Tabasco brands and the beautiful surroundings that Avery Island offers. We never understood the TRUE amount of effort and time that Edward Mcllhenny spent in 1868 to start on Avery Island, Louisiana and create the Tabasco brands. I'm not sure the MAN ever slept a wink much like my father Barney very remarkable!

He not only created Tabasco on the Island he mined salt, planted thousands of different varieties of plants and bamboo for the US government. In fact he's responsible for helping save the Snowy Egrets and other species in this world. There is so much more he and the family did for America and the world. This TOUR is a must VISIT if you love historical facts, beauty and of course deliciousness. The Tabasco restaurant was wonder too and the staff fantastic.

TABASCO® Brand products are made by McIlhenny Company, founded by Edmund McIlhenny in 1868 on Avery Island, Louisiana. It was there that he developed the recipe for TABASCO® Original Red Pepper Sauce that's been passed down from generation to generation. To this day, the company is still family-owned and -operated on that very same island.
