[McKinnie (Texas, USA) = Reporter Kim Yong from Sports Chosun] What's the taste of Korean food you've eaten at a golf course in the United States?

McKinney TPC Craig Branch near Dallas, Texas, where the PGA Tour The CJ Cup Byron Nelson (hereinafter referred to as The CJ Cup) competition is being held.

Since the days of the CJ Cup, a solo competition, the signature of the competition has been 'food'. CJ is attempting to enter the world with its proud food brand 'Vivigo'. Investment in golf is also part of the way to open up the North American market.

Many parts were connected to Korean food. PGA Tour players give a thumbs up every year to 'Playerus Dining', which is mainly served in Korean food. This year again, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler said "I'm looking forward to eating Korean food like that," and even after the second round, which was suspended for six hours due to rain, "I went to the restaurant several times to eat while I was waiting." The food continued to be prepared."

Not only athletes but also galleries visiting the site can experience Korean food. CJ Group is selling food by making a Bibigo store in front of Hole 7 and 'House of CJ'.

The menu includes chicken gangjeong, spicy dumplings, bibimbap, and fried dumplings. Prices range from 10 to 12 dollars. Kai Trump, the granddaughter of U.S. President Donald Trump, also visited the venue, ate, and `It's delicious. This is really delicious." was repeated.

Many fans visited the booth to soothe their hunger. The on-site sales staff informed us that "Spicy dumplings are the most popular " As I watched from the side, spicy dumplings and bibimbap were actually sold the most.

I ordered bibimbap and fried dumplings. First, for bibimbap, half meat and half vegetables. It was delicious because there was a lot of big meat. Considering the tastes of local fans, red pepper paste and barbecue sauce have been prepared separately. It's a taste that goes well with both sauces. There was no big difference from bibimbap eaten in Korea. Dumplings were also cooked and served locally, so I could feel the crispy texture.
