  • I visited KFC in Seoul, South Korea and was blown away by the menu items that aren't available in the US.
  • In South Korea, you can order beer, the infamous Double Down, and chicken gizzards at KFC.
  • I kept finding myself returning to KFC while I was visiting Seoul, drawn by the cheap beer and seemingly endless array of menu items you can't get back in America.

SEOUL, South Korea - KFC in South Korea has what KFC in the US wishes it had.

Sure, Kentucky Fried Chicken might have the United States (or at least one state) at its core. But, South Korean locations of the chicken chain are filled with forbidden fruit that only appears on the American menu in my fast-food filled dreams.

Over my last 10 days in Seoul, I have visited KFC three times. I'm not proud of this, but, as a fast-food fan, I also refused to be ashamed for returning to a restaurant that continues to churn out delightful things I cannot find in the US.

Here is what it is like to visit KFC in South Korea.
