Comedian Kim Sook showcased a two-day, one-night gourmet journey through Daegu's famous eateries alongside the Daeguz. The video released by kimsookTV introduced local foods known as "Daegu cold medicine," ranging from famous raw meat specialty shops to dishes utilizing abalone.

Exploring Daegu's top three raw meat houses and desserts

The trip began at a famous local raw meat restaurant. Kim Sook and her companions continued their culinary exploration by mentioning the so-called "top three" raw meat restaurants in Daegu, including Wanggeomi and Geukdong. They experienced Daegu's unique culture of cost-effective food by visiting highly recognized local restaurants such as Ha Long Bay. In particular, they recommended the local food to friends while commenting on the high value for money found in Daegu's culinary scene.

Following the meal, the group went on a dessert tour. Visiting a dessert shop located in a department store, the group tasted cannelés and carrot cake characterized by dense cream. Kim Sook described the texture of the cream as being "like rice cake" and shared a specific way to eat it by making a hole to consume the cream and coffee together. The high density of the cream, which provided a chewy texture alongside a crispy exterior, drew significant attention.

'Cold medicine' tour continues with abalone dishes

The theme of the trip was "cold medicine." Seeking out local foods that people in Daegu turn to when they catch a cold, the group visited a specialty restaurant featuring abalone as the main ingredient. The establishment, which primarily caters to adults, serves dishes such as abalone gomtang (soup) and abalone porridge using sea water abalone. After tasting the abalone dishes, Kim Sook expressed satisfaction with the color and taste of the broth, calling it "cold medicine." She particularly emphasized the rich flavor of the broth made with Cheonil chili peppers and suggested a three-step tasting method: enjoying the original flavor of the broth without green onions first, and then adding chili peppers according to preference. There were also positive reactions to the freshness and generous portions of the dishes containing abalone viscera.

Non-stop eating tour from 50-year traditions to pork ribs

The group's eating tour did not stop. Visiting a long-standing restaurant boasting a 50-year tradition, they experienced the level of Daegu's food through abundant menu portions. In particular, while eating rib dishes served with sausages and jaeraegi (seasoned radish), they highlighted the charm of the local food, comparing it to a "bulgogi hamburger."

The journey, which consisted of a total of 10 meals over two days and one night, was centered on the rich food culture and cost-effectiveness of Daegu. Despite the continuous restaurant visits even with short sleep, Kim Sook jokingly reacted by saying, "Someone please report me," while not hiding her satisfaction with the food in Daegu.
