Are you familiar with any Korean franchise brands? Chicken brands? Tteokbokki brands?
Interestingly, Daegu is the origin of many Korean franchise brands. Today, I will tell you some of the popular franchise brands among Korean locals and how they got famous across the country.
Let's take a look!
Korean Fried Chicken
Kyochon Chicken Main Branch
- Address: 경북 구미시 송원동로 41 우방타운
- Hours: 12:00-24:00
Readers might have already tried Kyochon Chicken! Kyochon Chicken is one of the most famous chicken franchise brands in Korea, but did you know that the brand was created in Gumi which is near Daegu?
You can find the modern-looking building in Daegu, which is the main branch of Kyochon Chicken. Have you ever seen a chicken restaurant this classy and modernized?
Hosigi Dumari Chicken
Hosigi Dumari Chicken is also a popular franchise chicken brand that started the business in Daegu.
The brand is well-known for giving two whole chickens for the price of one whole chicken. 
If you ever get to try Hosigi Fried Chicken, try the soy chicken, which is the signature menu.
Mexican Chicken
Mexican Chicken is considered an original fried chicken brand since it started its business in 1986.
Due to the age and originality of the brand, a lot of Koreans enjoy the fried chicken with sauce.
The deep spicy sauce is crispy and has its own texture.
Cheogajip Seasoned Chicken
Cheogajib Seasoned Chicken is my favourite Korean chicken brand. This brand first opened its business in Daegu as well!
If you ever get a chance to try Korean fried chicken in Korea, I recommend trying Cheogajib Seasoned Chicken's 'Supreme seasoned chicken'.
The unique seasoned chicken with honey oligosaccharide vegetable spice and sweet white sauce over crispy fried chicken is the taste of heaven. 
Tteokbokki
Tteokbokki is a popular and beloved street food among Korean. The popularity of tteokbokki is all over the world these days, and it is pretty easy to find Korean restaurants selling tteokbokki.
Sinjeon Tteokbokki
- Address: 대구 북구 칠성로17길 13
- Hours: 10:00-22:30
- Tteokbokki ￦3,000
- Deep-Fried Fishcake: ￦1,000
- Blood Sausage: ￦3,500
Sinjeon Tteokbokki is a well-known tteokbokki franchise brand across the country. Surprisingly, Sinjeon Tteokbokki started its business in Daegu, and spread the business to other regions successfully.
Since I visited Daegu, my friend and I decided to visit the main branch of Sinjeon Tteokbokki.
We have ordered cheese tteokbokki, fried fish cake and blood sausages.
The combination of three dishes will make your tummy full for two people indeed.
I personally love the cheese on tteokbokki! If you are a big fan of cheese, you must add cheese on top of your tteokbokki.
Don't forget to dip your deep-fried fish cake in the tteokbokki sauce!
Sinjeon Museum
- Address: 대구 북구 관음로 43
- Hours:
Wed-Sun 12:00-17:30
Mon, Tue Closed - Admission: ₩10,000
As I have mentioned earlier, Sinjeon Tteokbokki opened its business in Daegu; maybe because of that reason, Sinjeon opened a 'Sinjeon Museum'.
From this museum, you can try Sinjeon Tteokbokki's food, decorate an instant tteokbokki cup and get a package of instant tteokbokki that you can eat later at home! 
Baked Goods
Geundaegolmok Danpatbbang Main Branch
- Address: 대구 중구 남성로 60
- Hours:
09:00-20:00 - Danpatbbang With Fresh Cream: ₩3,000
Geundaegolmok Danpatbbang is considered one of the three best bakeries in the city, and many Koreans who are in love with baked goods visit Daegu for this!
The generous amount of cream will definitely satisfy your taste. It's a must-try!
Fusion Cuisine
MIES CONTAINER
- Address: 대구 수성구 수성못6길 10 2층
- Hours:
12:00-22:00
MIES CONTAINER is a Korean-Italian fusion cuisine restaurant, started its journey from Daegu. The modern interior and high ceiling were very eye-catching!
I have ordered 'Hi-Five' Pan Cheese Pizza, which is the signature menu from MIES CONTAINER. This pan pizza has four different flavours that you will have to scoop out from the pan!
The biggest perk of this 'Hi-Five' Pan Cheese Pizza is that you can try all four flavours including the sweet potato mousse, gorgonzola cheese, bacon and marinated beef.
The four flavour pan pizza was more interesting and tasty than I expected!
My favourite was the sweet potato mousse part. If you are not familiar with pizza with sweet potato, this the perfect chance to try.
There are multiple locations of MIES CONTAINER in Korea. If you are curious about Korean-Italian fusion cuisine, visit here and please share your review with us!
There are lots of Korean franchise restaurants that started their business in Daegu.
