Well, ok, make that more like 8 doughnuts. Dunkin’ Donuts is going global by introducing 6 new donuts and 2 croquettes to their lineup: Greek yogurt filled (Greece – who’dve thunk it!), lentil curry croquette and chocolate glazed with lentils donut (India), kimchi croquette (Korea), olive oil and garlic donut and coffee roll (Spain), and [...]
The Wall Street Journal ran an interesting article on the expansion of Dunkin’ Donuts in Korea today, saying that the chain was looking to almost double the number of stores in South Korea, along with turn Koreans into morning coffee drinkers. We ask you, do Koreans really need any help with that?

Krispy Kreme has helped clear up a few things about the legend of Tangun:

City-slick Korean chicks know what media to watch for the best and brightest of what’s to be – and for years the bible to what was popular in the states was Sex and The City. Whatever it was to American women, whatever the controversy and silliness, young Korean women understood it as a benchmark of [...]
Set in the picturesque area near Hanseong University, Song’s Kitchen is an old converted hanok nestled into a hollow, making for an almost Brigadoon-like space of cute kitsch.
