i'm looking for a vegetarian bbq place in seoul. it can also have meat, but someplace that has like big giant mushrooms, peppers, etc. that you can order on the menu. anyone know of a place like this?
*just a disclaimer, this is not for me, as i think vegetarianism is ridiculous. it's for a friend* |

Your username is very appropriate.
I'll make a suggestion, though. Instead of BBQ, try doing a shabu-shabu thing. There's an awesome szechuan hotpot place in Hongdae that has a lot of veggie-friendly options. Lots of mushrooms, tofu, etc. It's been a huge hit for friends I've sent their way.
It's called Bulia. They have places in Gangnam and Hyewha as well.

With shabu shabu it might depend on how strict a vegetarian your friend is, because the broth may not be vegetarian.
For BBQ never heard of such a place, but you might be able to ask a place if it's possible if your Korean is good enough. They might look at you oddly, but who knows... Unlikely, but worth asking all the same. I don't think that anywhere has that option normally. |

99.99% or greater chance that the broth is not vegetarian. All I can think of is to seek out a "temple food" place if you're not thrilled with simply ordering the already cooked BBQ choices from Loving Hut. |

| Vegetarian BBQ sounds like an oxymoron to me. |

Is it as ridiculous as buying into the current fad diet that promotes fringe nutrition conspiracies regarding cholesterol and saturated fat etc.. And promoting a high meat diet when all cancer, heart health organizations and expert nutritional panels advise against such? |

No, it's more ridiculous than that.
There are NO tribes of vegitarians in our blood line, because those people died off. Lack of B12, oops dead. There are 100% meat tribes, and lots of mixed vegi/meat tribes, but no 100% vegi tribes. They died.
That's nature saying "hey man, don't do that".  |

comparing one brand of bleach to another when shopping for what to have for dinner doesn't make either any worse. that's a pointless way to look at life.
yes, eating too much of most meats isn't good for you, but eating too much of anything at all isn't good for you.
either way, the | |
