Supplemental context
Korean barbecue is a social arrangement as well as a way of preparing meat: the table becomes a shared place of cooking, serving and conversation. Korea Foundation's Koreana article examines samgyeopsal, a pork-belly example, and describes its place in gatherings and restaurant life. That focused account is useful precisely because it does not stand for every Korean grilled dish. A future reader can compare the meal's coordinated actions with a restaurant that sends out individually plated courses. The archive should preserve the distinction between a broad dining category and particular cuts, seasonings and occasions. Our illustration imagines one contemporary table rather than documenting a historic meal.
Creator/community: Korean cooks, diners and restaurant communities Place/era: Korea; varied traditions and modern restaurant culture
Context and limits
Samgyeopsal is one example, not the definition of all Korean barbecue. The source itself treats origins as uncertain. The image includes a raw-looking plate edge and is not a safe food-handling or grill-installation guide.
