A Foodie's Quest to Try All Grilled Beef Intestines in the U.S.

Whenever I’m in a new U.S. city, I hunt for grilled beef intestines! So far: Vegas, Atlanta, Seattle, San Diego, plus self-cooked from T&T supermarket. 🔥 Ranking Criteria: Preparation · Freshness · Flavor · Value 🥇 Atlanta – Gop Chang on Fire (Doraville) ➠ Intestines are split, cleaned, and stuffed with garlic—non-greasy and perfectly chewy. My ultimate favorite! 🥈 Atlanta – Gop Chang on Fire (Duluth) ➠ Same chain, slightly less perfect but still delicious. 🥉 Las Vegas – Happy Pig BBQ ➠ Well-marinated and authentic, though pricey with average service. 4️⃣ Seattle Area – Lakewood, Makchang Drama ➠ Best near Seattle, but small intestines aren’t as fresh as Atlanta’s. 5️⃣ San Diego – Manna Heaven BBQ ➠ Great value, but only small intestines available (more of a BBQ spot). 6️⃣ Seattle – Modoo Intestine Hotpot ➠ Good seasoning, but uses frozen intestines—soft texture, not as tasty as grilled. Tied 6️⃣ Seattle – Chang Ko Restaurant ➠ Cheap intestine hotpot, great seafood pancake! A solid backup. Tied 6️⃣ T&T Supermarket Salt-Grilled Intestines ➠ Best part: beef tripe! Small intestines are okay. $16 per bag—good for cravings at home. 💡 Verdict: Atlanta wins with detail (de-greasing + garlic), Vegas excels in marinade, Seattle… still searching! #GrilledIntestineChallenge #USFoodMap #KoreanBBQ #FoodieDiary #AtlantaEats #SeattleFood #FoodReview #HomeCooking #CarnivoreHeaven
