Where to eat

Budae jjigae is the spicy stew made with Spam, sausages, ramen noodles and kimchi. It can also be called the army's stew because people first started to eat this after the Korean War, when the impoverished Koreans put this dish together using scraps from the U.S. military such as spam and sausages. Since the city contains many army camps, budae jjigae became a famous food that represents the city.
