Our friends Tad and Teal took us to a Korean restaurant, this was quite an experience! First off, we had to take our shoes off upon entering, which is Korean custom. We then got to sit on the floor, very interesting considering we had a little guy who thought he could run all over the place! As soon as we sat down, dishes of food were placed all around us, the grills were turned on, and we had to start grilling our Kalbi. Kalbi is short ribs that have been marinated in sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar and garlic. While the meat was cooking, we ate soup. We were given two bowls, we were to all share. Koreans eat behind one another, no big deal I guess! The other dishes at our table were garlic, rice, kimch'i (cabbage, radishes or other vegetables pickled with garlic, chili pepper and ginger, then fermented in huge jars buried in the ground), noodles of some sort, chili paste, marinated beets, and many other things..............can't remember them all!
After the meat is grilled, you pick it up with chopsticks (Greg and Jannah are good at this) and top it with any of the toppings. I chose rice and a chili paste, it was very good:) Jannah likes the wraps as I call them, and Jordan really likes rice. Greg says he must have some Korean in him, because he could live off of rice alone.
This is the finished product! The Korean way is to put the whole thing in your mouth!

I am not a picky eater, but I must say that Korean food is not my favorite cuisine. Looks like you had fun!
