"Bourdain said that Sizzler is "a judgment-free zone, where there are no mistakes." He goes on to say that Sizzler is "a world to explore incongruous combinations without shame or guilt." In the episode, he takes full advantage of everything Sizzler has to offer, selecting a steak with the salad bar option, where Bourdain follows Choe as he makes a meatball-stuffed taco."
"Sizzler is, first and foremost, a steakhouse. It's easily credited as one of the first places families could go for an affordable steak, even if Choe explains to Bourdain in the episode that eating there as a child was considered as a special treat. The menu is chock-full of hand-cut steaks like a 14-ounce ribeye, 12-ounce New York strip, and 8-ounce tri-tip sirloin."
Anthony Bourdain visited Sizzler, a West Coast steakhouse chain operating since 1958, during Season 1, Episode 2 of "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown" in 2013. After meeting artist David Choe in Koreatown, Los Angeles, Bourdain experienced Sizzler's offerings and praised it as a judgment-free zone where diners could explore incongruous food combinations without shame or guilt. He took advantage of the steakhouse's full menu, selecting a steak with salad bar options and observing Choe create a meatball-stuffed taco. Sizzler established itself as one of the first affordable steakhouse chains for families, offering hand-cut steaks, seafood, burgers, and ribs alongside its signature salad bar.
