Foil-free stone-plate brisket at a Jongno 3-ga Korean BBQ: Chowon
Chowon Restaurant (초원식당) is a Korean BBQ restaurant with outdoor tent seating in an alley toward Tapgol Park, near Exit 5 of Jongno 3-ga Station in Seoul, known for frozen pork belly and beef brisket. At 6pm on a weekday the writer waited 20 minutes for an outdoor table, then grilled 2 servings of kkosun beef brisket (₩20,000 per 150g) and 1 serving of flash-frozen pork belly (₩18,000 per 180g) directly on a stone plate with no foil, which was plenty for two. Eating by the stone-wall lane at Chowon Restaurant was satisfying for both the atmosphere and the meat.
