Celebrity chefs and Hollywood stars are obsessed with this little-known Korean restaurant in NYC
Baekjeong BBQ
Despite the slew of Korean barbecue joints lined up in New York City's Koreatown, Kang Ho Dong's Baekjeong has become the hotspot for celebrity chefs, musicians, and actors alike.

One of the reasons the restaurant has become so popular is because it provides an authentic Korean experience - from communal tables to ceaseless K-Pop blaring in the background. A team of attentive servers multitasks by grilling marbled slabs of meat in front of guests, refilling various side dishes to no end, and bellowing "Welcome to Baekjeong!" in Korean every time someone walks through the door.

Each table features a built-in grilling pit for meat, though it also has special compartments for sides like steamed egg and corn cheese to cook in. Customers can order a la carte, or opt for either pork or beef, and will then be presented with a combination of three different cuts of the animal. A soybean paste or kimchi stew also accompanies each meal, as well as an array of Korean side dishes like kimchi and tofu.
The restaurant is famous for its prime cuts of meat - Bourdain loves its traditional kalbi, a soy marinated short rib, while chef David Chang prefers the hard-to-find pork jowl.

Baekjeong recently opened locations in Flushing, Queens, and Palisades Park, New Jersey. The waiting time there will be significantly shorter, though the celebrity sightings might be fewer.
