I first met Jose Sacramento two years ago at the height of the pandemic, and like most restaurateurs adapted and pivoted to food delivery to remain relevant in the uncertain times of a lingering new normal.

Since then, Jose Sacramento continuously innovated by adding even more to his samgyupsal selection like chicken to complement his beef and pork offerings (for more on CCYG, see my previous posts, Dining in the Next Normal: Enjoy a Sumptuous Korean BBQ Feast at Home with Korea's Number One BBQ, Chung Choon Yeon Ga Unlimited Korean BBQ on my very first visit from two years ago and Dining in the Next Normal: CCYG Il Terrazo Adds Chicken to Their Unlimited Pork and Beef Korean BBQ Samgyup Sets on their expanded offerings also from 2020).
