"Grilling meat and seafood over fire is the earliest cooking method and enjoyed around the world, so barbecue is a great introduction to Korean cuisine. Different cuts of thinly sliced meats including beef and chicken are available plain or marinated and then cooked on grills built into the tables. The barbecue is served with several dipping sauces and bowls of banchan, Korean side dishes of seasoned, steamed, and pickled vegetables. Beginners can’t go wrong with galbi (marinated beef short ribs), bulgogi (thin-sliced ribeye), or lightly-marinated chicken gui. Designed for sharing, Korean barbecue is a both an activity and a meal, which makes it great for group dinners." - John Reyes
