“Thick — that's what makes it Gwangju-style tteokgalbi.”

Considered the original on Songjeong's tteokgalbi alley. Minced beef hand-formed and charcoal-grilled thick, Gwangju-style, served with a bone-broth soup (ppyeoguk). The owner: “Some places griddle it thin — Gwangju hand-packs it and grills it thick.”
