This is something I had never heard of, but I managed to overhear someone talking about it the other day so I decided to check it out. So I did what almost any person does these days when they want to learn about something, you google it. From here it takes me to wikipedia where the definition states that mongolian barbecue is a restaurant style of stir frying meats and vegetables over a large, round, solid iron griddle that is as large as 2.5 m in diameter and can cook at temperatures as high as 300 �C or 572 �F. Originally from Taiwan, it is neither Mongolian nor barbecue. So its neither Mongolian nor Barbecue? Go figure.This sounds similar to the way they prepare food at Japanese Steak Houses or a Fire and Ice type restaurant. It doesn't seem like Mongolian Barbecue is really so much the type of food as it is the way they cook it.

Nice post! Korean barbecue really is Korean and really is a barbecue, so check that out too.
