Chung Chun Rice Dog, also known as Chung Chun Rice Hot Dog and Chungchun Ssal,[1] is a restaurant chain with more than 300 locations internationally.[2]
The global brand Chung Chun was established in Seoul in 2017,[3] and has also been described as Canada's "first-ever Korean Hot Dog restaurant brand".[4]
Mochinut, established in 2020, has been described as a spinoff of Chung Chun. The first Mochinut location opened within a Chung Chun in Southern California.[5]
Description
The business serves hot dogs with various batters, dips, sauces and toppings such as panko breadcrumbs, Korean ramen noodles, granulated sugar, potato, and squid ink.[1][6] Its signature dish is a Korean-inspired take on a corn dog, the rice dog. The dog-on-a-stick is dipped into rice flour batter and rolled in breadcrumbs before frying, which creates a crispier crust than the traditional cornmeal-battered hot dog.[1]
History
There were 200 locations internationally, as of October 2019, in South Korea, Australia,[7] China, Japan, and elsewhere.[8]
Reception
Dylan Joffe, Maggy Lehmicke, Gabe Guarente, and Jade Yamazaki Stewart included the business in Eater Seattle's 2022 overview of Seattle's best inexpensive meals.[35]
