5 of the Best Street Food Finds in Seoul

There is no shortage of street food in Seoul. Every time you turn a corner in the South Korean capital, you see and smell something you just have to try. We sampled deep-fried treats like the french fry corn dog and fish cakes; soft, sweet egg bread; a breakfast sandwich served in a cup; and, of course, kimchi dumplings. So many delicious kimchi dumplings.

    That French fry corndog is a thing of beauty, hats off to Seoul for outclassing even the most outlandish fried food at the Texas state fair.

    I was at a OC Night Market in Southern California couple of months ago. Its basically a large food stall venue, with unique variety of food, very large event over 50,000 usually come during the weekend. ANYWAY, they had a stall where they had all the unique Korean corn dogs, like the french fry one, and one with cheese, and so on, and THEY WERE KILLING IT. Like a hour long line. Just saying if no one is doing it in TX, there might be a market for it.
