Daegu, located in the heart of Gyeongsang-do. To match that, Daegu is the center of a lot of delicious food.

 

Then, today, I will introduce the delicious foods in Daegu!

Makchang gui [막창구이]

Makchang, the fourth stomach of cattle, has been a popular food since the early '1970s. Before that, makchang was used only to boil soup with a by-product of beef.

However, makchang, which happened to be grilled over briquettes, has become the best accompaniment of alcohol with its chewy texture due to the favorable response from customers.

Makchang is grilled over briquettes or charcoal fire and is dipped in specially prepared soybean paste sauce and eaten with garlic and chives. A combination of the chewy texture, subtle smell of fire and sause is so fantastic.
