I have some friends who are such die-hard barbeque fans that I have found myself in mid-January huddled on a back porch around the grill. As the coals become more important as a surrogate campfire than as a means for cooking the burgers, I have often wished for that magical indoor barbeque. My dreams were answered by my first experience with Korean Barbeque. Though there are number of Korean Barbeque restaurants in Philadelphia, my cohorts and I chose to journey way up North 5th Street into “ËœKorea town’ to Kim’s.Each table has a “Ëœpit’ in it where the grill will be placed over red-hot coals once the bbq is ordered. You order from a variety of meats and seafood which are brought raw to the table and then, that’s right, you cook it. There is an unlimited supply of romaine lettuce that you fill with the cooked meat and your choice combination of the 15 or so varieties of pickled accompaniments and sauces, top it off with some rice, roll it up and enjoy. There is also an unlimited supply of coals, which will be replenished in all of their glowing glory right before your eyes. For six people, the experience lasted a full two hours, and for 30 bucks a piece including beers and tip, was well worth the excursion.
