Gopchang Story, a Korean barbecue spot in Carrollton, offers beef intestines, a popular dish in South Korea and among BTS, according to a Dallas Morning News article. They say,
“Carrollton has a new specialty Korean barbecue place to try for anyone who’s ever wanted to eat like the members of the popular and influential boy band BTS. Gopchang Story, which opened in November, specializes in the grilling of beef intestines, a beloved food that’s meant to be consumed with alcohol — a category Koreans call “anju.”
According to a 2019 Taste article, gopchang dates back to the Joseon dynasty, which began in the 1300s. Today, it’s a “cult food” in South Korea that’s beginning to gain a following in the United States, particularly among Asian diners.
Members of BTS, crowned the “Princes of Pop” by Time magazine in 2022, have championed gopchang during visits to the U.S. They said in a 2020 interview that their favorite restaurant is Ahgassi Gopchang in Los Angeles.”
Gopchang Story’s delicious menu mainly not only includes different cuts of pork and beef, but also features beef intestines which are can be complemented with side dishes:
- Beef Set Meals
- Cube Steak
- Thick Skirt
- Pork Set Meals
- Pork Belly (on the bone)
- Honeycomb Pork Belly
The restaurant features locally sourced meat and cleans its intestines twice before partially cooking and grilling them. The restaurant is at 4070 State Highway 121, Suite 328, in Carrollton.
