This is a very popular Korean dish of unseasoned pork belly meat. The thick pieces of pork (basically fatty bacon) are cooked right at your table. You cut the slices with scissors (it's completely normal to cut all types of food with scissors here) and grill your meat to your preference. You are also given about 8-12 side dishes (banchan) to enjoy with your pork. We like to eat it fajita style in a piece of lettuce with grilled onions, garlic, chili paste, salt and pepper, and of course, kimchi! This is a very inexpensive, delicious meal. We'll try to get a better picture next time.

Who does the cooking? "very inexpensive" = ????
well, usually the customer cooks but in our several experiences with the meal, the server does all the work. we think it's because we are clearly foreign. it's about $6 per person.
Sure glad you are up to the challenge of eating these different concoctions. Sometimes it must feel like you are on one of those TV challenge shows where they provide some very strange stuff to eat in order to move on to the next challenge. Not sure I would be up for it.
