Fans at Korean Heritage Night at Dodger Stadium. Photo by Patrick Bae.
We recently came across some cool photos taken by a Granny Choe’s customer named Patrick. They appeared to document the Korean sports enthusiast’s dream come true: baseball plus all-you-can-eat kimchi. Though not sports people ourselves, we are always curious about people congregating and consuming Korean food, so we asked Patrick what the deal was. He was kind enough to enlighten us…
Korean Heritage Night was a promotion held at Dodger Stadium earlier this month, in their MyTown section. They served all you can eat kimchi (unfortunately not Granny Choe’s), beef skewers and spicy chicken, along with the standard stadium food. Anyone who bought MyTown tickets got the food, t-shirts and Korean flags. It was a fun night.
We thought it was a little weird that they would specifically choose to do a night for Koreans, but we remembered that baseball is perhaps the most popular sport in Korea, and there are a lot of Koreans living in LA… and this was actually just one night in a whole series of heritage nights for a variety of ethnic groups. Check out Patrick’s blog for more cool photos of Korean Heritage Night. Also, just for kicks, check out the Samsung Lions mascot breaking out some serious k-pop dance moves at a KBO (Korean Baseball Organization) game: U Go Girl Mascot Dance.
