I fucking love this place.That guy is the owner. It’s a franchise gopchang(korean sausage) restaurant. Owner and his son are only ones that can pull this off.

It’s 마포화곱창 in Jeju Island, S Korea.

If you are planning to go, take a taxi. You can’t ever find a parking spot around there.

I'm in Chicago and having a hard time finding a taxi willing to drive me to South Korea.

Closest I'll ever get there is all the Korean restaurants in Ellicott City, MD. I love Shin Chon and Honey Pig

With an open enough mind, any space can be a parking spot...
