Songpa Korean BBQ where a makchang skeptic got converted: Jinseong

Jinseong Hanwoo Gopchang Bangi Direct Branch is a beef offal grill restaurant in the Bangi-dong food alley in Songpa, Seoul, serving gopchang, daechang and makchang. The writer, a gopchang loyalist, tried all three cuts and fell hardest for the makchang, which was chewy and nutty without being tough, alongside a generous bowl of minari-garlic sauce and kkakdugi fried rice. The verdict: a makchang so tender it wins over people who thought they hated it.
