Description
Make like the K-Pop stars shown savoring this Korean chain’s glorious, gaudy corn dogs in photos on the wall, and get yourself one of these rice-battered beasts, studded with cubes of fried potato or coated in squiggles of crunchy ramen noodles. A careful fry job lifts dogs above gimmick status to a reasonable culinary composition that’s fun as hell. The counter-service shop in Chinatown–International District will gladly shake sugar on top of any order…and it’s actually a good idea. If you opt for the squid ink hot dog, do it for the ’Gram…but also the secret interior layer of mozzarella cheese.
