Recipes for cooking meat using fire are broadly classified into two categories: dry heat (dry heat) and wet heat (wet heat). Soup, steamed meat, etc. are wet heat recipes, and roast (roast), barbecue (barbecue), grill (grill), and broil (broil) correspond to dry heat recipes. Grill and broil are cooking methods where fire and meat are in direct contact, but the difference between the former is that the fire is on top of the meat and the latter is placed on top of the meat. Our favorite barbecue has a unique smoke flavor through the smoke (smoke) method of cooking meat with the heat and smoke from burning wood. Recently, “wood fire grills,†where ingredients are cooked using smoke and fire from charcoal made from high-quality wood, are very popular. You can experience the original taste of fire because it has the advantages of a barbecue where the smoky flavor intensifies from a charcoal grill and a grill recipe where the Mayar reaction is active. The hot and delicate scent of smoke is exquisite! Here are 5 of the best new Woodfire Grill restaurants worth visiting.
Woodfire grill restaurants include Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil SOOT (charcoal), Itaewon Gyeongridan-gil Fuego, Pangyo Charcoal Farm, Dosan Park Charcoal Farm, Sookdae Yong-wook Barbecue Research Center, Banpo-dong JW Marriott The Mago Grill, Dogok-dong Marine, Dogok-dong Doma, Hannam-dong Butto, Seocho Station Smoke Bunker, Seongsu-dong Pampfresh Factory, Itaewon Manners Smokehouse, Gwanghwamun Abbazins, Euljiro Koryoterun, Busan Gwangalli Bistro611, etc. are famous.

“Charcoal Jang,†which is well known as a charcoal-grilled restaurant in Pangyo, opened a new second restaurant near Dosan Park. Menus whose composition changes little by little with the freshest ingredients of the day, including the main food, will be announced on official social media every day. The signature menu, “Grilled Korean beef with grilled vegetables,†is a charcoal-grilled to medium rare sirloin, served on a single plate with vegetables such as broccoli, mushrooms, onions, asparagus, and mashed potatoes. You can experience a richer flavor by blending the soft scent of fire on the sirloin, which uses a dry aging technique to make use of the rich flavor of meat. The combination of soft, melt-in-your-mouth meat and grilled vegetables full of juice is fascinating.

The beef rib barbecue, which was the highlight of the day's cuisine, was really delicious with the sweet and spicy sauce and tender meat, and even the kamameshi and ramen made with broth from the leftover ribs and ramen were perfect!

▲Opening hours: 17:00 — 24:00 every day, closed on Sundays
â–²Price: Flank Steak 34,000 won, Carrot Skewere 15,000 won
â–²Testimonial (Delicious Chuseok food): I was very satisfied when I ate at the main store, but the second store has a unique feeling. The steak made with skima-salu is spicy, but it enhances the umami by holding the meat so that it doesn't feel like it. The carrot skewers are a good combination of butter flavor and nutty flavor, so I think people who don't like carrots can enjoy eating them.

“Marine†is a wood-fire restaurant specializing in seafood presented by Chef Kim Bong-su, who led the meat-oriented restaurant “Toma.†It's interesting just to look at the menu filled with unique foods such as seaweed salad, yellowtail lasagna, and cod brandade. The signature menu is “mackerel garland paste pasta,†which is a fresh green pasta topped with fragrant mackerel and ripped mackerel flesh that is easy to eat. Spaghetti noodles, which are deeply impregnated with the flavor of mugwort, combine fluffy mackerel and crispy fried rice to enhance the chewy texture. Mackerel marinated in milk for half a day and smoked with oak charcoal has only a rich aroma without a fishy flavor.

This is my first lasagna using skewers, and it's a flavor that reminds me again and again of the combination of tender skewers and rich sauce.
