Loud, sizzling, best with a crowd.
Samgyeopsal (삼겹살) is pork belly grilled at the table and eaten in lettuce wraps — and as a personality, it's the social center of every gathering, the friend who brings people around one table.
It's you if…
- You've hosted a dinner for twelve in an apartment built for two.
- You always grab the tongs, and nobody minds.
- You remember everyone's drink order.
