Grilled Pork Dinner!

7/5/2014

0 Comments

 
I was surprised on the ride home by Ms. Jeong and her family, who insisted I join them for dinner.  I think they were shocked and appalled to see me riding along the highway for a portion of my ride home (not many big "risk takers" here, and climbing and biking along in traffic are definitely seen as risky!).  That 1 mile highway portion is an avoidance of the 20% grade I have to climb on the alternate route! After over 2000 ft. of elevation gain over the previous 19 km., avoiding that last hill home is a relief!  I rode directly to the restaurant, declining the offer to put my bike in their trunk for a ride home.  I arrived sweaty and exhausted.  I admit to drinking some of that Coke, because I needed fluid so badly!
     The "meat restaurants" so popular here serve pork or beef, which you grill at the table, along with other veggies, and the multitudinous side dishes: kimchi, cabbage, soup, shrimp, stingray, salad, and about 5 more! Yum!  The server brings the hot coals to the table, and an exhaust on a swinging arm is kept over the roaster, so the restaurants are never smoky or smelly! You grill the meat and garlic, place a piece in a sesame leaf or lettuce, with or without rice, but with the red sauce or kimchi.  It really is so delicious!! The only time I eat meat is when I'm out with others, but I enjoy it occasionally.  This restaurant happens to be owned by the uncle of one of my students.
