Anecdotal of course but interesting still.
Is Korean BBQ more like grilling?
In the USA there is that difference, BBQ and Grilling arent the same thing, though in some regions they seem to use the words interchangeably.....
BBQ can be a bit hit or miss too. The best brisket I have had was at someone house in Texas, the dude had a giant smoker he made.
The next best was at two different mom n pop type hole in the wall joints also in TX, same town.
and all the chains that serve it do not compare although they have mostly been good enough to eat.
I do not like pork much, ribs even less.. HOWEVER some touristy place in Memphis had ribs so damn good I ate a rack and loved every minute of sweating out pork for then next 2 days of my roadtrip.
The Pork ribs seemed to have got them all on onboard with American BBQ.
