The Seoul table — what to order and where the locals point.
Korean BBQ, properly
Charcoal, pork belly, scissors and lettuce wraps — order the soju ritual too.
Gwangjang Market
Bindaetteok sizzling, mayak kimbap by the plate and knife-cut noodles among the ajummas.
Fried chicken & beer (chimaek)
The national pairing at midnight — every neighborhood has its champion.
Late-night pojangmacha
Orange-tent street bars — tteokbokki, odeng broth and confessions.
Temple food & royal table
Seoul's quiet other cuisine — book a temple-food dinner for the contrast.
