Pyongyang gets fried chicken delivery for the first time. AP’s Jaesoon Chang explains:
Choi Won-ho, head of a fried chicken franchiser that has about 70 restaurants across South Korea, said Friday he is opening a 50-table restaurant in Pyongyang on Nov. 15. It will also deliver chicken and draft beer to homes.
“I have wanted to be the world’s best chicken brand,” Choi told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
“But I thought it makes no sense to conquer the world without sharing food with our compatriots. That’s why I went there first,” he said. “I plan to get into the Chinese market via Pyongyang.”
