Seoul, South Korea

3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Dinner happens at the pork BBQ restaurant featured on "Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown" by the same team who took him there. Charcoal-grilled pork and aged kimchi are the whole point. Your host walks you through BBQ and drinking etiquette while you take in the atmosphere of a spot that's stayed exactly as gritty and good as it was on TV.

From there, you'll pass through a pigs' feet market and a pancake market before ending the night in a classic Korean pub, enjoying pancakes and other pub grub while getting a crash course on traditional Korean beverages.

Upgrade to the Three Stops option for a final stop at an old-school fried chicken pub, crispy chicken and cold beer to close out the night.

All food and drink (within reason) are included in the price.
