i've asked some of my classes why LA is famous/well-known. every class has said "L.A. galbi"

huh? is that like "Mexican Chicken"?

[cisco kid]

Same thing you find here, they just call it LA Kalbi.

I've had it before in a sundubu place and it was basically hamburger meat on a hot plate. Pretty crap and not at all like normal galbi.

my understanding of LA Galbi when served in korea, is short ribs with individual bones left in them. so you can kind of pick them up and eat em with your fingers - rather than how you usually wrap it up in a leaf with samjang.

a lot of us restaurants serve galbi that way, so ig uess thats the name they gave it in korea (LA Galbi)

yOU'RE ALL WRONG. la gALBI IS SIMPLY BEEF GALBI, NOT PORK.

[Ya-ta Boy]

I was told LA galbi is top of the line galbi, LA having more cachet than, say, Mokpo.

[eamo]

It's just an expensive kind of beef galbi.

What I'm interested in is how it got it's name?

you guys and your speculation. hamburger? i think that's called "tteok galbi."

here's a picture of what i'm pretty damn sure LA galbi is:

see the bones in the middle of most pieces? you pick it up and eat it off the bone, kinda like american ribs.

everytime i've had galbi in southern california, it's looked like this. so yes, LA = Los Angeles Galbi

LA Galbi sucks. It's on the plate and cools down. I want that s*it hot on the grill. I don't care if I have to cook it myself.

[T-dot]

The only difference is the way its cut.

LA galbi has many smaller and slimmer bones, kinda looks like a train. The galbi you see here have 1 longer bone attached to a slab of meat.
