Today’s lunch reunion with an old friend in
Cham-soot 참숯 (hardwood charcoal) is arguably the best for premium cuts of meat, giving off a more natural smokiness while locking in precious juices. In
One notch below cham-soot is the more common coal briquettes called yeontan 연탄, equally effective at achieving desired smokiness but at a fraction of the cost. One of my favorite old-school BBQ establishments is Gyeongsangdo Jip 경상도집 where they meticulously grill their famous pork ribs over yeontan in order to get the perfect crust and smokiness. It was so good that I finished a two-serving plate without any issues. Likewise, this local hotspot Gamcho Sikdang 감초식당 (almost a copycat in some ways) follows the same formula
In conclusion, make sure your next Korean BBQ outing includes some type of charcoal, not gas, for the ultimate BBQ experience. And if you don’t want to smell like BBQ after your meal, visit the aforementioned places that’ll save you the hassle of cooking and won’t break the bank.

Hello Mr. Lee!
Wow, it’s great to hear from you and thanks for commenting.
I have missed LG for the past three weeks, but, I don’t know if you heard from coworkers that I will return this week.
I will work part-time for the next six months to be exact.
We can talk about Korean food in person! See you soon.
