Once every four years we are treated to the sights and sounds of seeing the best athletes from around the world compete for gold from some place cold. This year is no exception as the Winter Olympics get underway this weekend from Pyeongchang, South Korea. It can take a lifetime of practice to get your ticket to compete in the Olympics. Luckily, you can taste the food of South Korea right here with no practice, trials, or skates required.
Asiana Restaurant
Asiana Restaurant is the perfect place to come and share a special meal with your friends and family. A tradition of Korean dining is sharing large portions in a communal fashion. Try a seafood Pajun, a savory pancake full of shrimp, crab meat, calamari, egg, and vegetables. Divide by slicing ‘pizza style’ and topping from the selection of sides provided. Looking to stay warm? Split a JeonGol, a family style stew sure to please anyone with a taste for adventure and flavor.

Jungle Jim's International Market
Jungle Jim’s International Market has food for you to celebrate almost every country you will see competing these Olympic games. When it comes to Korean specialty items they have you covered for both your snacks and recipes you’ll want to have on hand. Their extensive selection of Korean BBQ sauce will have you wanting to warm up your grill pan. Looking for a chip alternative? Try a cuttlefish flavored cracker that tastes a little fishy, and delicious.
While Korea may be far away these worldly options are here to help you celebrate the 2018 Winter Olympics. The Olympics are a great time to watch the world come together for the love of sports, community, and of course some friendly competition. Why not have some good food to pair along with it!
