They come up on Facebook and Instagram feeds like food terrorists: those close-up images of thick slabs of pork belly crisping on a hot griddle or marinated flanks of marbled short ribs surrounded by a moat of peppery kimchi, browning onions and garlic sizzling in rendered fat and juices. It’s the requisite Korean barbecue picture that serious meat-eating fans seem to almost compulsively take in the throes of their carnivorous anticipation. It’s probably the same instinct that drove hunters to show off their spoils. But we digress.
When those flanks of meat come up our phones, the craving to re-create the image we saw doesn’t go away until we get to wrap our own sliver of hot-off-the-grill brisket into a leaf of lettuce dipped into sesame oil and bean paste. But with restaurants featuring tabletop grills in every every plaza, strip mall and food court, cannibalizing another one's business across the street, where to go?
Let Privy lead the way.
We have selected the top five best Korean barbecue restaurants in LA. So grab that food-blogger friend of yours, and let her take the pictures while you grub on the best meat in town--and some soju. One shot!
