Behold The World’s Greatest Hot Dog Mashup!
What happens when you take a hot dog, batter it in corn meal, then wrap it in crinkle cut french fries? Well, it means you are in Seoul, South Korea!
Welcome To Seoul!
Welcome to one of the most beautiful sights in the world: the cityscape of Seoul, South Korea at night…
I had the chance to travel to Seoul with an amazing team of people: Morgan Webb, Vinny Rutherford, Wade Beckett, Jen Nelson, Mike Dunn and Aaron Murray – and our terrific Seoul Producer Kathy Paik – the greatest group to work with, travel with, and even do a bit of this!
One of the great aspects of Seoul street life is the food: you can find it everywhere, and it is all delicious!
Seoul is the capital and largest city in South Korea, with a population of more than 10 million. Seoul Capital Area, which includes the surrounding Incheon metropolis and Gyeonggi province, is the world’s second largest metropolitan area with over 25.6 million people.
SEOUL STREET FOOD = BACON!
Yes, bacon has shown its face halfway around the world! These are some amazing images of my trip, including the bacon-wrapped hot dog, one of many street treats we sampled in Seoul! Click on the video to see some of these unique bacon dogs bubbling away…
As you can see, the street food was plentiful…in fact, here we are holding two of those bacon-wrapped hot dogs…not the best shot of me, but I will suffer that indignity in order to showcase the food!
Wade and I dug right into these breaded, grilled sticks of what we thought were chicken – we will never know, but they sure tasted good! And remember, you can also just order the corn dog embedded with fries:
Yes, the classic “french fry encrusted corn dog” is a wonder to behold, and my favorite website, RocketNews24, has gone on location to bite down hard on one for you!
RocketNews24 sampled a number of great hot dog mashups, but the french fry corn dog is a winner for sure! I was happy to taste a bacon-wrapped hot dog as well as the encrusted corn dog…delicious!
Tie Your Fish Up!
We also found a great Seoul street market – a fascinating place to wander…where locals shop for all sorts of unique items, like fish that has been tied up with rope, or dried and flattened in a fan shape…
Noryangjin Fish!
I loved this place – a huge, bustling fish market where they sold a number of unique items, like tied up dried fish…here is a video that shows piles of dried fish, plus tied up fresh fish as well – nicely bundled in bright yellow rope to carry home easily: click on to see these fish being sold!

I’m not sure because it was a street vendor, but appears to be a heavy batter overlaid in the fries, then quickly dunked!
