ULTIMATE Korean Costco FOOD TOUR! BEST Costco Food in The WORLD?!

[@jackbutler3432]

Depression means that I often don't want to eat, this show is one of the ways I force myself to eat; Mikey looks like he's having so much fun eating that it makes me want to eat. Today it was roasted rabbit over British winter veg with all the trimmings. Thanks Mike.

Sounds indeed like a great meal and I'm happy that you were able to eat it
