Book introduction
Heo Young-man, Korea’s representative gourmet!
To commemorate the 200th episode of <Gourmet Heo Young-man's Baekban Travels> aired
Among the 900 restaurants we tried over the past 4 years, we selected the ‘best 500’ and included them in one book.
The best-seller in the gastronomic travel category, 《Gourmet Heo Young-man's Baekban Travels》 series.
For 2023, we have selected and compiled the best 500 restaurants out of over 900 restaurants introduced over the past four years. This book, which consists of a total of 6 regions (Seoul, Incheon/Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Daejeon/Chungcheong, Busan/Daegu/Gyeongsang, Gwangju/Jeolla/Jeju), provides detailed information on visits to each restaurant, including main menus and business hours. At the bottom of the page, there is space to write down the date of visit, rating, and review so you can record your memories. We also included a QR code so you don't miss out on the latest information.
For existing readers who show great love every time a new series is published, people who love mukbang or gourmet food, and all travelers who enjoy exploring domestic restaurants, “Gourmet Heo Young-man's Best 500 Travels” will be the perfect gift.
