What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Chosun Galbee is a Korean barbecue restaurant on West Olympic Boulevard in Los Angeles built around tableside grilling — its name itself references galbi, the marinated short ribs that are the house specialty, a fit for the show's 'Grilled' episode (S3E1). The restaurant serves the tabletop-grill format common to LA's Koreatown-adjacent barbecue houses, with servers cooking meat directly at the table. A direct check of chosungalbee.com on September 8, 2026 found a working site with an active online ordering widget and page text referencing the current year, with no closure notice anywhere on the site. The listed phone number and Olympic Boulevard address were otherwise unchanged from earlier records, and no independent secondary source was consulted beyond the restaurant's own current website for this record.
