Following in Elephants’ Foodsteps
A Seoul eatery trampled by elephants that escaped from a zoo last month is back in business and aiming to capitalize on the pachyderm pandemonium.
The Korean barbecue restaurant, closed for a month for repairs, reopened with a new name: Restaurant Where Elephants Have Been.
Owner Keum Taek Hoon said she used $18,000 in insurance money to remodel her eatery. The most popular item is the “elephant set” -- seven vegetable side dishes and a hot soup. “What can I say about the elephants? Thank you for causing the trouble? Well, that just might be right,” Keum said.
