Question for those of you on the internet, who actually enjoys the taste of cilantro? After having Kogi last week I can assuredly proclaim that I loathe cilantro when it is added to anything that is going to end up in my mouth. Everything from the smell of it diced up on top of a spicy pork taco to it coating every last bit of my short rib burrito ruined my second Kogi experience. The vulgar amount of cilantro that they cover their food with left a lingering disinterest of food for most of the day and unpleasant smell of cilantro on my breath well into the night. The sad part about this experience is that if it wasn’t for the excessively use of cilantro I might have actually enjoyed my 2nd Kogi meal more than I did from my first experience. Fortunately the Blackjack Quesadilla did slightly make up for the failure of the other items, but I wasn’t able to finish it due to its greasiness.
What commonplace topping do you detest?

For me it’s uncooked celery.
I love cilantro.
Ah yes celery, that is up there for me as well. I’ll be complaining about that one in the future. 😉
I love a dash of cilantro on street tacos and just about everything else, but too much of it will ruin anything.
If it is just a dash (very small amount) I probably won’t taste it, but anything more it starts tasting like soap.
