+1 most people like Korean bbq. I know one white guy who doesn't like it that much. I know.. crazy.
Korean fried chicken is also pretty yummy. I would just get take out.

It's all the same to her Americana loving fried food "white bread Midwestern inlaws".
She might as well just order Uber eats fro PF Chang and call it a night.

I have never seen her eat anything that wasn’t a French fry or a fish stick and she doesn’t eat vegetables either so I am leaning towards just making a chicken teriyaki but was hoping DCUM would have some ideas?
What type of Asian are you? And why are you letting your husband volunteer you like this?

NYT has a good Galbi recipe with rice and lettuce as a wrapper (Korean-Style Short Ribs). I can’t imagine it being a stretch for any meat-and-potatoes midwesterners.

Ok why did your DH volunteer you for this? Hope he will be your sous chef. Maybe just buy a bottle of Trader Joe’s teriyaki sauce and cook a plain chicken veg stir fry.

I wouldn't and just cook something you know they will eat.
