A community cooking experience is one that is shared and loved by cultures in all corners of the world. Whether it be Korean barbecue, a crawfish boil, or even dipping into some fondue, food unites us all, especially when we all have a part in its creation.

The Solo Stove Grill is the perfect tool for bringing people together. The days of the backyard chef being sequestered to a corner of the backyard hunched over some burgers are over. With Grill’s circular design, everyone is invited to be the grillmaster. Korean Barbecue is arguably the most popular communal grilling experience of our time. Today, Chef Stephen Yen of TAO Downtown restaurant tells us everything we need to know to get the ultimate Korean Barbecue experience on the Solo Stove Grill. Watch the video below to get the scoop on this culinary tradition:
