On the day I ate my way through Jeonju, chosen in 2012 as a Creative City for Gastronomy as part of UNESCO’s Creative Cities Network, I went past a store with teddy bears…

A teddy bear on a bench. Of course.

…the Gyeonggijeon Portrait Shrine with King Taejo’s portrait…

…which made me wonder if his headpiece is the reason behind this Korean hat trend…

Devil hat. Or turkey hat, depending on how you look at it.

…and finally, oh finally, I made it to my bowl of Jeonju bibimbap.

Why, hello there, beautiful.

Delish.
