🌍 Origin & History

Korean BBQ (Bulgogi) dates back to the Goguryeo era (37 BC–668 AD) where marinated beef was grilled over charcoal. Modern Korean BBQ went global as Korean immigrants opened restaurants in Los Angeles and New York in the 1970s. The traditional marinade uses pear juice and sugar, but our version swaps in allulose while keeping that signature sweet-savory-soy balance that makes Korean BBQ irresistible.

🥗 Diabetic-Friendly Pairings
