City Guide Restaurant Review: Nam-Chuncheon Dakgalbi (Chuncheon)
Dakgalbi is one of my favorite Korean dishes and a recurrent craving. Spicy cuts of boneless chicken, rice cake, cabbage, sweet potato and onion are stir-fried on a giant stone hotplate. Like other Korean BBQ dishes, the meat is then wrapped in ssam (쌈), such as lettuce leaves or sesame seed leaves. Though dakgalbi restaurants can be found all over the country, the mecca of the spicy chicken dish is Chuncheon, the capital of Gangwon Province.
