This video is definitely a gem! After scouring the world for the most exquisite beefs, from the good ol US to Canada to Argentina to Australia to Japan. I've done grass fed, grain fed, grass fed grain finished, wet-aged, dry-aged, whisky-aged, kouji-aged, fish sauce-aged, prime of the prime. I've tried at least 5 different brands of A5 wagyu in Japan and 2 brands of BMS 8+ pure blood wagyu in Australia. A highlight is that once had a BMS 12 Kobe Beef, holy that was something else. EACH great beef from each region truly has its own wonderful merits. BUT you know what is REALLY in my memories after all these years. KOREAN HANWOO beef, exactly as Kang describes, the beefiness + the gelatinous intramuscular fat. And the only place to get it is Korea. PS I enjoy USDA Choice and select nowadays. One can only do so much marbling in a lifetime LOL

BEST HANWOO HERE: Well, after living in Korea for almost a decade, I generally avoid these kind of restaurants unless it's a special occasion, plus they cost A LOT. Just go to Majang Meat Market near Wangsimni if you want Hanwoo beef, but at wholesale prices. All ranges and cuts are available: A+++ etc etc. Choose and purchase your meat on the ground floor, then just pay 5 per person to use the restaurant facilities on the second floor, which gives you access to unlimited side dishes, water, and grills. You will, of course, have to pay for other beverages. A great experience. I don't want to knock the above restaurant, but I've eaten at similar venues, and couldn't justify the price. Majang wins.

This guy in his other videos talks up Korean bbq in America and how it is so superior to stuff in Korea. Now he comes to Korea totally changes his tone. This guy knows Korean food by eating at Korean restuarants across America. How does this qualify you to have your own show about Korean food? Im happy he is spreading Korean cuisine to more people through his show. I just don't think he knows much about Korean food.

Korean style meat? That's a Korean copy of Wagyu! I've tried it and it's good but not as good as the real thing. Of course, Koreans are going to say their beef is better - they always say their things are better - but it's not in the same caliber as Japanese Wagyu. Well, I'll let you be the judge so go try both for yourself and see.

This is just speculation so don't jump down my throat. But with all this variety in beef types and therefore beef flavour ie in the UK beef is reared on pasture, cornfed in the US, Wagu in Japan and now Hanwoo in Korea. Wouldnt it make sence that the best way to eat that beef is in the style of the local people who eat it the most?

Hanwoo Beef is served in a lot of Korean BBQ restaurants in Korea, but its not very famous outside of Korea yet not like Kobe Beef, even tho IMO it has a better balance of tenderness and beef flavor. Been craving for it since I left Korea. the taste is utterly unique that u can't get from either Wagyu or American beef

I love Hanwoo. Before having Hanwoo, I liked the Argentinian beef the most. I would love to do a side by side tasting. From memory, I'm not sure which is better. To brag a little, I made Italian beef sandwich w/ Hanwoo and baguette from Napolian bakery. Yes, I'm from Chicago and the family loved it!

Chef is correct, there's no best tasting beef, there are alot of great beef. I can't eat Wagyu and Hanwoo everyday. to a certain point I can't eat dry aged beef everyday. Wagyu/Hanwoo are too fatty to be consumed everyday, and dry aged beef to a lesser extend, sometimes you just want some regular beef.

Why do you keep saying Waygu. Waygu is American grown Kobe beef. Truly the best Japanese beef is A5 Kobe. That is hands down way better than Waygu. As one person said below it is too rich to eat everyday. I have a hard time eating a whole steak because of its fatty and rich flavors. But I surly try.
