A widely popular chain in Korea (and the world—there are over 3,500 locations in 37 countries), BBQ stands for “Best of the Best Quality Chicken” and made its Manhattan debut in September. The supposed twist is that the chicken is cooked using “the finest extra virgin olive oil,” which makes the chicken a strikingly gorgeous golden brown. But once the beautiful crust hit the palate, things went south. Or rather, things really didn’t go far—this was some flavorless chicken. No seasoning. No spice. The meal fell flat, even with the interesting (but only on paper) mac-and-jack and pepper munchers, two fatty bar snacks that tasted of freezer burn. And the service was horrible.
