Overview

This three-hour tour in Seoul follows an Anthony Bourdain-inspired route focused on Korean BBQ and pub culture. It begins at a Korean BBQ restaurant featured on Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown. Guests spend about one hour eating Mapo-style Galmegisal, a pork skirt steak grilled over charcoal with a moat of egg. A local guide explains Korean BBQ techniques and drinking customs during the meal. Afterward, the group walks to a nearby market known for savory Korean pancakes. Participants sample various pancakes and then sit at a market pub for about one hour, where they receive an introduction to traditional Korean alcoholic beverages. The tour ends at a classic Korean pub where guests share drinks with locals. An optional extension is available to visit a fried chicken pub serving crispy chicken and cold beer. The tour price includes all food and alcoholic drinks within reason. Gratuities and optional activities such as karaoke or the fried chicken pub visit are not included.
