Chongchebori Hanwoo Butcher Restaurant 총체보리 한우 정육식당

Chongchebori Hanwoo Butcher Restaurant is operated by the Jeonbuk Hanwoo Cooperative in Baeksan-myeon, Gimje. Its name refers to whole-crop barley, a feed made by harvesting not only the barley heads but also the stems and leaves. The cooperative raises and distributes Korean beef connected to this feed program, with its distribution center and restaurant occupying adjacent addresses on Okseok-gil. The meal begins at the butcher counter near the entrance. Packaged beef is displayed by cut, grade, and weight, allowing diners to select and pay for the specific package they want before taking a seat. A separate table-setting charge covers the grill and accompaniments in the dining room, where each piece is cooked directly at the table. This differs from ordering a fixed platter because the cut and quantity are chosen from the retail case first. Grilling selections include familiar Korean beef cuts such as sirloin, tenderloin, and striploin, along with mixed packages that combine multiple cuts. The pieces can be placed on the grill in small batches and removed according to the preferred doneness. The kitchen also prepares complete dishes for diners who do not want to build a meal around the butcher display. Yukhoe bibimbap mixes finely cut raw Korean beef with rice and vegetables, while seasoned yukhoe is served as a separate beef dish. Hanwoo soup and ox-bone cabbage soup provide broth-based meals, and bulgogi hot pot cooks sliced seasoned beef and broth together at the table. The cooperative distribution center is registered at 2-13 Okseok-gil, while the restaurant itself is next door at 2-11, an important distinction between the online meat business and the dining location.
