Celebrating the 200th episode of "Gourmet Heo Young-man's Baekban Travels," Korea's best eating show recognized by everyone.
The 500 best restaurants, carefully selected by our experts, have been published!

The 'real taste expression' of the picky Heo Young-man is different.
The best of the best, as comfortable as home-cooked meals, reasonably priced, and even more delicious!

There is an abundance of restaurant information on TV, YouTube, blogs, etc.
We are drowning in a deluge of information, making it even more difficult to choose a good restaurant.
For those who have experienced disappointment once or twice after being deceived by information, viewers were given a refreshing shock by the authentic taste of the food from the first episode of “Gourmet Heo Young-man’s Baekban Travels” on May 14, 2019.
While covering the comic book "Sikgaek," the taste of the sikgaek, who experienced seasonal ingredients, the freshness of local food, and regional seasoning sauces, was on a whole other level.
Even a set meal armed with many side dishes was not easy to pass up for the picky palates of diners.
In addition, the criteria for selecting a good restaurant are also different.


First, ‘Baekban like home-cooked meals.’
When I take my first sip, I think of the home-cooked meal my mother prepared for me.

Second, ‘amazing value for money’.
Is this one possible for this price?
Third, ‘It tastes amazing nonetheless.’
It is only right that a good restaurant be evaluated based on its taste.


This demanding evaluation is fully captured in the wit and personality of cartoonist Heo Young-man through his unique illustrations and comments, allowing readers to get a glimpse into the taste of the food prepared with care and the owner's life story.


The best 500 selected from over 900 restaurants I've personally tasted from Seoul to Jeju over the past four years.
“With this one book, you can stop worrying about food wherever you go in the country!”

From hearty meals reminiscent of mother's cooking to modern-day favorites enjoyed by people of all ages, Korea's greatest gourmet, Heo Young-man, has drawn his own map of delicious restaurants.
From convenient downtown restaurants to restaurants in mountain valleys where you might not even know the Korean War broke out, to restaurants on lakes where you have to wear life jackets and take a boat to get there, to Baekdudaegan restaurants that you have to climb 820 meters above sea level to enjoy.
We meticulously discovered not only famous restaurants that are popular across the country, but also hidden gems that only locals know about.
Among them, he selected memorable tastes and tastes he wanted to share with others and introduced them in the book 『Sikgaek Heo Young-man's Baekban Travels』 every year.
It's already been 4 years, and to celebrate the 200th anniversary of 『Sikgaek Heo Young-man's Baekban Travelogue 4』, out of the 700 or so places featured, 500 'Best of the Best' places were selected and compiled into one volume.


This book, which consists of 6 regions (Seoul, Incheon/Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Daejeon/Chungcheong, Busan/Daegu/Gyeongsang, Gwangju/Jeolla/Jeju), introduces the main menu, visiting information, and menu tips for each restaurant. At the bottom of each page where the restaurant is introduced, there is a space to write the date of visit, my rating, and a review of the visit.
By leaving brief notes after visiting a restaurant, this book will become more than just a simple restaurant guide, but will become your own personal restaurant record filled with memories, and its value will shine even brighter.
Seriously, 'With this one book, you won't have to worry about food anywhere in the country.'
