Korean Barbeque

For dinner two nights ago, we traveled with a group to a new restaurant. In this restaurant, there are grills in the center of the tables and you order your food raw and cook it on the grill in front of you. The waitresses make sure to replace the coals and grate of the grill so you are ensured a clean grill.

We ordered food, two platters of meat: beef, chicken, squid, and one meat we couldn't name;vegetable plates, rice, and beverages. It wasn't long until our food was delivered. Tradition is that one person cooks while the others around eat and then take turns cooking so everyone has a chance to eat. you are served on small plates, no bigger than your hand, and grab a bite here and a bite there. A sauce was served on the tables used for dipping the cooked meat into that had a sweet, tangy flavor. Overall, it was a fun experience, cooking our food in front of us and sharing everything family style.
