We celebrated my birthday last weekend by going to for Korean BBQ. We live right near Flushing Main Street, where there were a ton of places (we’re not Korean, so we actually googled reviews). The top place listed was Picnic BBQ, so we waited on line to get in and eagerly awaited our food. It was delicious and brought back memories of my neighbor, Helen, teaching me how to make Korean BBQ Beef Shortribs when our oldest children were small (she’s Korean). Enjoy this Korean BBQ Short Ribs (Kalbi) + Marinade Recipe.
