A Texas BBQ restaurant in Korea? I have to be honest, given the failure of basic “international” foods like pizza and nachos in Korea, we were not convinced a restaurant like Manimal could produce authentic tasting barbecue. We weren’t convinced any place in all of Korea could make good Texas-style barbecue in general. It’s hard enough finding Texas BBQ outside of Texas, let alone in Seoul. Let’s not forget that not only are we food snobs, but we are food snobs from Texas. We like our barbecue a certain way – dry rubbed, smoked, and served with a bottle of peppery, tomato-based (not sugary molasses N.Carolina), sauce.
