Korean Food Globalizing Event to Open Tuesday

The Seoul Metropolitan Government and LG Electronics will host an event on the globalization of Korean food for two days starting Tuesday.

South Korean celebrity chef Edward Kwon and world-renowned French chef Guy Martin will take part in the event and will offer suggestions on ways to further globalize Korean cuisine.

Kwon, who is a global publicity ambassador for Seoul, will showcase a standardized Korean dinner which will include dishes such as the Korean chicken soup "samgyetang" and a seafood and chilled vegetable dish called "naengchae".

Martin is expected to present a dinner course using ingredients commonly used in Korean cooking.

The Seoul government plans to appoint Martin as a publicity ambassador for the globalization of Korean food. The government also plans to have 40 chefs from around the world that will take part in a global amateur cooking competition Wednesday become active supporters of Korean food.
