Why here
A tofu maker at the mouth of Gyeongdong Market whose smoked-duck barbecue became the reason people queue. The sign says kong (bean) and the licence says duck, which is the joke regulars make: the tofu business is still the day job. One person gets 250g of duck and a bottle of soju or beer for ₩10,000, and the seating spills onto the street in the market's open-air yajang style.
