For those seeking a Korean barbecue feast in Koreatown, there are many delicious reasons to choose K-Team. The superb follow-up restaurant to the perennially packed Park's BBQ from proprietor Jenee Kim offers a top-notch selection of pork-centric cuts, including thick slabs of collar and slivers of belly that hit the grill frozen just like in Seoul.
Regardless of which kind of meat one favors, be sure to tack on the $5 myeonglan paste (pollack roe) which is tucked under the 'extra' portion of the succinct menu. While it might seem redundant to have both the complimentary ssam jang and the add-on to pair with one's meat, the myeonglan paste's incredible depth and lick-smacking savoriness elevate every porky or beefy bite to greater heights.
By mid-day, the pastry case was down to just a few choices, but the sandwich selection hadn't been depleted yet. Spotting just a few prosciutto baguettes left, I crossed my fingers that they would still be available by the time I got to the counter.
I drove vaguely toward bakeries, before settling on Friends & Family in East Hollywood. Luckily, it seemed like I was the only one in line with prosciutto on the mind, and the sandwiches remained untouched until I got to the counter to pick up one for myself.
