Try Korean BBQ in Seoul

“This groundbreaking discovery in footwear paled in comparison to the restaurant etiquette I was duly educated upon with my first Korean BBQ dinner. I sat alone at my table, markedly unattended for 20 minutes during my first meal. Waiters and waitresses walked by my table as if all seats were vacated, not conceding even a cursory glance. Finally and with exasperation, I raised my hand to hail a server. Surprised but smiling, a waitress walked over and wordlessly pointed to a discrete button on the side of the table. It said, ‘Call server,’ written in plain English and bright red as if to highlight my unfamiliarity with Korean bistros. (To note: eating Korean BBQ in Korea is like toeing the asymptote next to perfection. It redefined my grasp of the term ‘BBQ,’ likely ruining all future cooked meats for me).”
