Cue the BBQ

A bowl of bulgogi is a treat for your taste buds

- Emily Tyra

TANTALIZINGLY TANGY AND Sweet, Korean barbecue is hot off the grill-and a hot ticket item at food courts and food trucks alike. The beguilingly tender slivers of beef are typically topped with a sprinkling of scallions and served with rice. You can find it at grill-topped tables at "K-town" restaurants in cities big and small across the country and also in some less traditional preparations, such as folded into quesadillas, tucked into tacos or loaded onto cheese fries. Even beginners can make it at home with jarred marinades such as the We Love You brand of bulgogi sauces or one of the pre-marinated meal kits.
