Episode 22: Korean Pizza (Food)

Korean. American. Podcast

This week Jun and Daniel explore the world of chain restaurants. Listen as Daniel recounts his first experience eating a Korean pizza, and the various toppings that he found shocking, while Jun applauds the effort to experiment and localize. What American chains have been successful in Korea, and which haven’t? How do they differ? Have any Korean chains been successful in America? Did Red Mango and Pinkberry start in America, or Korea? What global drink brand did Korea take over? What Korean chain did Daniel’s co-worker take great offense to? What key signature item do Korean 7-11’s not have? What chain in Korea has a Gone With The Wind flavor? What American thing are Korean convenience stores most similar to? What Canadian franchise is coming to Korea? What US franchise does Daniel think would do well in Korea, and vice-versa for Jun? What food trends are already dying down?

Does Psy have his own burger, and who is Papa Jones?

If you're interested in any of these questions, tune in to hear Daniel and Jun discuss all this and more! Also in this episode, Daniel cringingly attempts a French accent, Jun gets flustered by having to customize his order, and both our hosts share their favorite ice cream flavors.
