More than 100 people came and there were 21 entries for the kimchi contest. They were from everywhere. Someone from Maryland, someone from Canada, and some drove hours and hours to come to the event. I was overwhelmed by their passion!
I went to my friend’s cottage in the Catskill mountains, located in upstate New York, about 2 hours driving from New York City. There were about 20 guests and I found all good homemade food!
