Kim Dunn’s work in the food service industry has taken her from the fried chicken chain Popeye’s to Dallas-based Colter’s BBQ. That’s why you can get Cajun dishes like red beans and jambalaya along with your brisket and ribs. I was most curious about the items from her native Korea, like the galbi beef short ribs.

The truth is that I would travel a very long way for another plate of that pecan grilled galbi and some kimchee spiked jambalaya, and I’d have a hard time finding a reason to order the brisket while scraping another bowl clean of red beans and rice.
