Friday Find: North Koreans Try American Barbecue

From Digitalsoju TV, the same folks who brought you Korean Girls Try American Barbecue, is a nearly 20 minute video of North Koreans trying different styles of American barbecue in a South Korean joint that seemingly does a pretty good job of replicating authentic Southern barbecue.
