Gogi 9dan Chimsan Direct Branch (고기9단 침산직영점) is a beef and pork grill restaurant on Chimsannam-ro in Buk-gu, Daegu.

With a wide spread of side dishes, a ₩17,000 9dan Set and a self-serve dessert bar, Gogi 9dan Chimsan Direct Branch is a satisfying choice for family and group meals.

Dugeundugeun Sutbulgalbi (두근두근숯불갈비) is a charcoal-grill restaurant specializing in marinated pork galbi (pork ribs) on Nobyeon-ro in Siji, Suseong, Daegu. The blogger grilled 3 servings of pork galbi topped with plenty of garlic, built a different lettuce wrap each time with onion pickles, pickled radish, myeongi (pickled wild garlic leaves) and geotjeori (fresh kimchi), then finished with Dugeundugeun Sutbulgalbi's best-selling kimchi-malli guksu (noodles in cold kimchi broth). For anyone who likes mixing up side dish combinations with pork galbi, Dugeundugeun Sutbulgalbi is a Siji galbi spot worth coming back to.

Gyeongju Bomun Korean restaurant, weekend Tabling waitlist: Hyoeunok

Hyoeunok Gyeongju Branch is a Korean restaurant specializing in minari (water dropwort) beef rib hot pot, located in Bukgun-dong near the entrance to Bomun Tourist Complex in Gyeongju. Weekends have a wait, so the blogger joined the queue remotely through the Tabling app, and a party of four feasted on the Gyeongju minari beef rib hot pot 5-course set plus a yukhoe (Korean raw beef) bibimbap. The 5-course set, eaten in order from bone-in rib meat to beef, kalguksu noodles and gondre porridge, together with the sweet soy-seasoned yukhoe bibimbap, is the heart of Hyoeunok.

Gyeongju café with open 2nd-floor windows and Hallabong cake: Yard

Yard is a brunch café with floor-to-ceiling windows on the main road by Gyeongju World in the Bomun Tourist Complex, Gyeongju, with a cosmos field of about 1,000 pyeong across the street. On an autumn day the writer sat on Yard's second floor with the big windows thrown open, had the last slice of Hallabong (Jeju citrus) black tea cake with an iced vanilla bean latte and an iced americano, then walked over to the cosmos field. Yard is a quiet Bomun café for unwinding and taking photos.

Daegu hair salon men's side-part perm, down perm and cut: 26do Hair

26do Hair Suseong Branch is a hair salon on the 2nd floor of the Suseong Lotte Castle apartment shopping arcade in Suseong-gu, Daegu. The writer got a men's side-part perm, a down perm and a cut in one visit after a long break; the perm took about 1 hour 30 minutes, and the curl came out natural rather than overdone. For a men's side-part perm that doesn't look obviously permed day to day, 26do Hair Suseong Branch was a satisfying choice.

Daegu ramen shop: Shin Ramyun-level Kara and juicy gyoza at Ryusenso

Ryusenso Dongseong-ro is a Fukuoka Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen restaurant on Gongpyeong-ro in Dongseong-ro, Daegu. On an in-between hour, with no break time to worry about, the writer ordered the basic Ryusenso Ramen, the Ryusenso Kara at Shin Ramyun-level spiciness and yakigyoza (pan-fried dumplings); the thin noodles, the not-too-salty broth and the juicy gyoza stood out. For an authentic tonkotsu ramen meal in Dongseong-ro without worrying about break time, Ryusenso Dongseong-ro is a good fit.

Gyeongsan pork BBQ weekend lunch with extra meat: Kkotdwaeji Sikdang

Kkotdwaeji Sikdang Gyeongsan Branch is a pork BBQ restaurant on Seongam-ro in Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk, where staff grill the meat for you. On a weekend afternoon the writer ordered the Gourmet Set of special pork belly, pork neck and pork jowl, added another round of meat because it tasted so good, and finished with fried rice and doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew). The 7 seasoning options, including salt, soybean powder, curry powder and wasabi, plus the large lot behind the building, made Kkotdwaeji Sikdang an easy Gyeongsan recommendation.

Gyeongju walnut pastry shop with in-store tasting samples: Buja Hodu

Buja Hodu is a walnut pastry shop on Hwangnidan-gil in Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk, making whole-walnut pastries from 100% rice dough. After trying the free samples in store, the writer mixed low-sugar red bean, pea cream cheese and matcha into a boxed 24-piece set, as almond praline had sold out by late afternoon. Each pastry is individually wrapped, so Buja Hodu's box freezes well and reheats in an air fryer, making it a solid Chuseok gift set.

Late dinner at a Beomeo-dong Daegu Korean restaurant: Banwoldang

Banwoldang Buja Sikdang Suseong Branch is a fire-grilled Korean restaurant on Beomeocheon-ro in Suseong, Daegu, in the Beomeo covered-road food alley. A late-evening visit brought squid and pork stir-fry for two, served on a stone plate that stayed hot to the last bite, plus a free countryside cheonggukjang doenjang stew that comes with any menu order. Between the smoky char, the fresh radish salad and the self-serve lettuce wraps, Banwoldang Buja Sikdang Suseong Branch is a solid pick for a family or group dinner.
