In the spirit of American Thanksgiving, which celebrates with abundant tables and extended families, our 10Best editors are venturing away from Western traditions briefly and showcasing food and dining in South Korea. The delicious Asian fare, whether eaten on the street, in a restaurant, or at home, revels in zesty spices, fresh produce and seafood, and an age-old culture that honors communal dining and established protocols among people of different ages and classes.

We'll introduce you to the authentic fast foods of street vendors and then take you inside to restaurants and gatherings of friends and colleagues. Discover the dishes and practices that make South Korea a destination for all seasons.
