What does that mean!

+kmutbutt1996 it was a reference to a Beyoncé song where she says "becky with the good hair"

+Fahad Baig yeah..basically a turrible joke

I laughed so hard when I heard that hahah!!

What kind of Korean grill are they using? It looks different than those one sees at the store.

you mean barbecued twigs and leaves?

Twigs? you must be rich

According to North Korea Magazine

TTate yes twigs - we have our "re-education" helpers collect them and then drive back in our Lada to the re-purposed nuclear warhead cone BBQ( it didn't work so they gave it to us) which we fuel with propaganda leaflets that have been dropped on us...sometimes when we are feeling generous ( drunk on Glorious Leader Soju ) we let others eat the ashes...life is good...

some times I wish I can drink myself

hahaha ...less is more

+atistatic solares has class? Why cuz he has an english accent?

+atistatic class? I'm not denying he has class but he tries to just jam as much 'complex' vocabulary as he can in every sentence to sound sophisticated and eloquent, and it's just simply not necessary, its over the top and grating

Why doesn't he have class?

Maybe you're just illiterate and need to expand your vocabulary.

Hahaha

Korean beers, Cass Hite, etc. They are too much underrated. I have been a beer fan and tried so many beers, living in a few countries. We can't simply say Korean beers are shitty. There are culture things, There isn't really bar-bar culture in Korea, Korean people drink a lot but almost always with 안주 or meats, and 안주 is actually food which can be a meal. With a meal definitely light and refreshing beers like Korean beers are good choice. Do you want drink English ales or Belgian beers which are very heavy with a meal? English or Belgian or other countries have bar-bar culture, when they drink they drink just beers or maybe with some chips/crisps. If you are at the bar and drink Korean beers, it would be too watery, sure. Korean beers are actually fit in the Korean culture very well and it has been really popular and will stay popular.

bar and pub culture, I mean.

I love almost all the beers in the world, by the way :)

And BTW: never ever eat Korean BBQ alone in Korea that's so strange. ;)

beef quality in korea is higher, hanwoo is readily available and exported.

Korean beer is worst

I'm korean and korean beer is definitely trash

Rice beers in general just aren't as good as wheat or barley-based beers, IMO. Give me a good pale lager any day of the week.

South Korea didn't have enough much space to fed and raise livestock sufficiently, unlike US, Australia and Canada which they have such 'resources'.

dude thank you for your comment man. I think matt has a lot more to eat in terms of KBBQ in Korea

+Dong Kim who's manz?

AMEN. Korean beef 한우 is IRREPLACEABLE and INVALUABLE and just incredible in taste. It is so so different than American beef taste and texture. There is something special about it... Noobs will never know. And sadly, they're usually Korean-Americans. ㅠ

Have had all three and you definitely got it in the right order :>)

Evenstar Australian and US are cattle countries. The only country with better cattle is Japan, and they are leaps and bounds ahead of the rest

Its like he is ashamed or doesnt reconigzed the value of his own gastronomical culture

I heard from Koreans that the beef in Korea is quite expensive. So maybe you can get the same quality beef in Korea but with a much higher price I imagine. Beef in the US is cheap, if you don't know. In Los Angeles, they have all you can eat kbbq for as low as 10 dollars per person

@@leonardpatrol3805 beef is cheap in Korea, too. I pay 1.4 dollars per 100 grams for chuck. Korea does not use US beef. They import from Australia. A restaurant down the road from me has pork belly, pork neck (목살), marinated beef ribs, and chuck steaks, all you can eat, for 14 dollars. Everyone on here is ignorant and assumes the only beef in Korea is Hanwoo.

Max they do import US beef actually, but Hanwoo beef is better than most US or Australian beef which is mainly Angus

@@Emelius7 I mean if they are importing beef from another country... I'd id have to assume that drives up the price quite a bit...

so you've lived in the states your whole life yet you tell these guys to go to korea to learn?? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... asian elitism at its finest

@@CozyKG I'm an American living in Korea, and from what I've heard, Korean BBQ is more expensive in the states and shittier. A buddy spent 50 bucks a head, for Korean BBQ! The most I spent was 30 and that was after drinking myself under.

I'ma just going to go out on a limb and guess that this dude has been to Korea before... He seems to have dedicated alot of his professional experience to the subject... Is it possible he never has, sure, but again, I'm going to guessss that he has Edit: He has... 🤷🏾‍♂️

@@SankofaNYC Kbbq in Korea is on another level. I go to Korea every year to visit my family. Kbbq in the U.S. is good too but u can’t compare. This title is just really misleading

@@toktok9999 oh... Ok... Sure... That's not what I was contesting though... But I believe you

only if its hanwoo tho, everything else is not as good as US beef.

they DO eat the American Beef in Korea and traditionally they don't like to because they want to enjoy higher levels of tenderness of the Beef and also more cuts:)

Joseph Neutral i know they do, my korean friend explained it. But they eat frozen defrosted shit, Doesnt matter what country it comes from, fresh beef/meat wins hands down.

thats because koreans eat deforsted shit from america lol of course hanwo taste Better since its fresh

HELL NO! As someone currently living in Korea I can safely say that Korean beef is inferior to other beef. It is 5 times the cost and 2 times tougher than imports. Koreans DO NOT age beef like the west making the flavour and texture lacking in what one would consider a "better" beef. Korea is a land of mountains and does not have much space for raising cattle. Koreans also marinade or slow cook many of their beef dishes using natural tenderizers, negating much of the aged flavour that one would get in the west. Most of the frozen beef from America is more tender and has more flavour than Haun-ooh. Trust a beef loving foodie in a country where the domestic beef is overpriced crap. Basically, you dont know what you are talking about.

lmao why u mad bruh he just said you cant get better quality meat in korea

+WheyTooManyGainzz he isn't mad? Lol

+WheyTooManyGainzz Korea has 한우. A Korean specific breed of cow. cost like hundreds of dollars for a couple hundred grams. I doubt that la is better. doesn't have the same soul and feel if you get me.

There's a reason it's way cheaper

NO way its cheaper.... Beef is a premium luxury in Korea, and its no where near cheap. Pork might be cheap, maybe just as cheap as in the United States, maybe even a little cheaper cause Koreans consume so much pork, but if you want beef at a Restaurant in Korea, you are spending into the 100s of dollars easily.

I have. It's shitty Korean BBQ compared to the US. Title doesn't need fixing.

Your statement is like comparing Apple and Oranges. What he's trying to say is that in LA we have more of an American twist compared to the traditional way that's normally served in Korea. Also on a side note, it doesn't matter where the location is, it's the quality of the produce and craftsmanship that you're looking for.

No hes comparing apples to apples--in this case kbbq to kbbq--and his reason is bc America is "cattle country" ie, the beef here is better, which its not. High end Kbbq restaurants serve Kobe-level meats that will easily run $1-200 per person--he just hasnt been to any bc if he had, he wouldnt title his video the way he did.

Actually, no one in LA says LA sushi is better than in Tokyo. Because it’s not. But the claim that LA KBBQ is better than in Korea is not far off from the truth.

Because it's an English Channel, ever think of that?

+Pizza Party Ben I've definitely thought about it. But I mean especially in LA, you can find 10 random Korean guys on the street that are definitely better at Korean than this guy. I'd imagine you can find one that can present in a video as well. Didn't even say cheers correctly...

This isn't a Korean video. This is a video meant for an American audience. The guy you see talking is a Korean American.

bro, he didn't even say cheers the right way

+dingguhlbary so fucking what? Are you racist

I currently live in Texas, used to live in LA, lived on the East Coast, and have lived/worked in Korea. I can state with confidence that Korean BBQ is better in LA than anywhere else.

pepprdgefarm Based on? If its banchan or rice or side Chigae quality then Korea is WAAAAY better. If its it beef, well then Australia, Japan and S. Korea have WAgyu/Kobe style all over the place. Finding great meat in Korea is no problem.

Why Texas or Omaha? The beef in those locations are distributed nationally.

thenotorious ong Exactly. Well if its all about the beef (more importantly the price of meat) then these places have the best meat at the best price. Since it is "all about the beef" I cant see one geographic or economic connection that L.A. has to good beef?? Is there a budding A++ cattle industry?? The guys argument makes no sense.

Don't be triggered. He was giving his opinion.

Thanks!

Most meat here in the U.S. is not grass fed and full of nasty chemicals and hormones. Grass fed is the way to go. I stopped going to those places because the meat is regular beef.

In NZ we don't have to label beef as 'grass-fed', something which I found pretty strange when I went to the states. All our cattle here is grass-fed.

Fishfingers232 Awesome. I wish it was like that here.

Cristobal Hernandez 'Sashimi-grade' salmon also doesn't exist here, any raw whole fish you find in a store here is safe for raw consumption (our salmon stocks are effectively parasite-free, which is pretty rare in the world). And our oysters also perfectly safe raw as well without any treatment whatsoever. We're pretty lucky with regards to food safety and quality over here. The only dangerous thing I can think of is eating shellfish that live near raw sewage outlets which is easily avoidable.

Fishfingers232 I should just live there then.

LA Korean BBQ is pretty reasonable since there are so many competitors

a lot of Kbbq places are all you can eat. It can go from anywhere between 12 dollars for lunch to like 35-40 dollars for the high quality stuff.

I had Korean BBQ in L.A. yesterday, all you can eat beef and chicken for $12

Yes, some places in LA it is but they also serve NZ Lamb, imported Japanese beef as opposed to $20 all you can eat places!!

ChuBatJade 9,900원

He meant the country as a whole...

When was Cali a country? Lol

He meant country as in countryside.

California is the 4th largest cattle producing state. You just gotta get off the coast and you'll see. Hell take a drive up the 5 and you'll see thousands of cows

Oakland

youre both idiots. hes talking about price point + quality. obviously if you pay more you get better. so stupid lol

+kc cho No he isnt he is talking about how america is cattle country and how LA korean food is superior to korea. Get the fuck out of here you must be from LA.

he never said any of that fuck boy gtfo of here lil butt hurt bitch ass. people like you make koreans looks bad. ugly, bad attitude with a small brain.

stay salty ugly ass bitch

+kc cho Good one fuckin sissy!

It might be unique only to that restaurant. Don't see in other kbbq places.

+Two2onefive not unique; you just have to know where to go. Some places do that, others finish with other dishes.

볶음밥 is not unique to the US

Im all for more Asians on TV/entertainment platforms, but this dude is seriously misinformed or he needs a tastebud transplant. Korean BBQ is way better in Korea.

+Lou Zer I've never had Korean barbecue in the States, but I lived in Busan for a while and certainly enjoyed what I ate there, which was predominantly pork. Regardless, I just like this guy's character, and his sincerity.

+Lou Zer If you want beef though, you should head to the west coast.

Thanks Eamonn!

Obviously he doesn't know shit about how to eat Korean BBQ. You NEVER EVER start Korean BBQ with Chadolbaegi!! You usually finish with Chadolbaegi since the fat portion of the meat is larger than most of other parts of beef. And you think LA has better bbq than Korea? You gotta be shitting me. Come to Korea and try Hanwoo (the breed of cattle raised in Korea) which I personally think is one of the best kind of beef you can bbq. SMH Eater. Very disappointed with this one.

Comparable to what you'd find in LA? That is a riot. Have you had A++ grade Hanwoo at good Korean BBQ restaurants? The marbling in your video is pretty mediocre compared to the beef I've seen in Seoul.

The argument is BETTER BEEF = BETTER BBQ. But that argument assumes that the meat is the only/most important factor. Seoul has way better from my experience...and waaay cheaper.

You have to get out of Seoul into the country to get some great Hanwoo gogi. Also the galmagi sal places here in Korea also have a ring of cheese that will knock your socks off! Great video and hope that you do a follow-up in Korea sometime soon.

this dude never had any hanwoo man.... maybe he doesn't like unmarinated KBBQ... or he just simply never had any good ones, but yea it's crazy what he's saying in this video.

I also find it funny since a lot of country's won't buy beef from the U.S. because of quality concerns due to U.S. animal treatment and meat processing. Better beef my ass

Please, that's what makes it so good!

Jake Lai I tried to tell them, but they think it ruins the meat.

I like it browned.. Not sure what you're talking about. Koreans like to almost overcook meat. We rarely like it rare as a culture.

Alex Lee Cool, bro. I lived in Korea for 2.5 years. I had Korean friends. We ate bbq together. They would always get freaked out if I tried to brown the meat. They flipped it like a million times and made sure it was cooked all the way through. That's cool if you like it browned, but in my experience, it's not how Koreans in Korea like to cook their bbq.

+thePowerPlant haha interesting.

While there's certainly great beef in the heartland, the coasts definitely have great beef because we get it a lot of it from the Midwest and heartland. It's all the same country!

you'd think that but it's not the case. idk wtf happens to it while it's being transported there. my uncle who has a small business here in chicago always hand picks the meat that he's going to use and sell. he said that while in california when he and my other uncle (who lives there) went to go buy meat (for a carne asada) he was met with an unholy sight! he said that the meat had a strange brown tint to it (not as in a natural tint but, as in this meat fucked sorta way) and that it smelled in a way that he didn't even know meat could smell. he said that even meat packing plants did not smell like that. when he told my other uncle about the strangeness of the meat my uncle looked at him confused as if he didn't even know what he was talking about. he was so grossed out by the quality of meat in california that he refused to eat meat at all.

I think we can safely say that in either place, if you want to get good quality meat, you can get it! Ask any chef in either city and they'd agree.

lol if you think the cows are eating grass. they're eating corn my friend

Cows are grazers, they are meant to eat grass. Feeding them grain to fatten them allows more E coli to live in the gut. I am lucky enough be related to people who raise cattle in a high valley, and only feed them grass in summer. The meat is lean and very good. Despite the lack of marbling, it is not tough at all, at least the rib-eyes I get. I only eat beef a few times a month.

Thanks!!

Love the host's enthusiasm but he does need a lesson or two on Korean BBQ.

Yeah, I would much rather have Jeju Black Pork than any beef in Seoul or LA.

Korean Barbecue is as much Korean as Fettuccine Alfredo be Italian, or Orange Chicken be Chinese. It's a great American food.

+ManhwaFan idk man.. The la galbi that i had in korea tasted alot better than the one i have had in the states.. Maybe i just went to a really good spot in korea

No. wrong.

Hey, LA kalbi refers to a certain part of beef and the way the meat is sliced, not the general way of barbecuing meat on a grill and direct fire as a whole. LA kalbi is on the same line as other parts of the meat.

There's is so much misinformation here. Either u r misinformed yourself, mid communicated, or just making stuff up. Term Korean BBQ as it is used here in the west is not BBQ in the traditional sense since smoking is not the main method of cooking. Instead it's grilling over fire. Usually and historically it is done w charcoal, which also has many levels of quality, incidentally and importantly. Regardless, cooking raw or marinated cuts of meat over fire at tableside is Korean BBQ. Obviously sauces, marinades, condiments, etc make the dish Korean. Otherwise what would be the difference from yakiniku? Stating that Korean immigrants to LA specifically introduced kbbq with no qualifiers muddles ur intention. R u saying they created it? LA created one particular cut called LA galbi, sure. How about every other cut? We can have a real conversation about food if u so desire but don't state bizarre nonsense about LA's role in KBBQ history.

Correct, because most meat places in Korea, or restaurants in general, tend to be small and cramped.

나 첨에보고 중국인이 한국 까내리려고 연기한건줄암
