Gyeongju, a famous grilled clam restaurant that you can only eat, is the 원조석이네조개박사

The grilled clam restaurant, “원조석이네조개박사” which became popular after appearing on the TV program “I’m Solo.” Although it became famous on the air, it has been known as a local restaurant before that. It is a grilled clam that is eaten on a gravel grill, so the gravel does not cool quickly, so you can eat it warm over time. The characteristic of this restaurant is that it cooks and cuts clams that are bigger than a fist, and puts chili peppers, green onions, kimchi, and red pepper paste sauce on top to bake them all for the owner to eat. The grilled clams, which were born with the owner’s familiar touch, are moist and chewy.
