Danyang market bakery garlic bread and how to store it: Danppang

Danppang Bakery is a takeout-only bakery inside Danyang Gugyeong Market in Danyang, Chungbuk, known for garlic bread made with local Danyang yukjong garlic. On a couples trip to Danyang, the writer packed Danppang Bakery's four bestsellers — cream cheese, black garlic cream cheese, sweet potato and baguette garlic bread — and bought two boxes, giving one to a friend. Keep the bread at room temperature on the day, refrigerate it after one or two days and freeze it from day three, which makes Danppang garlic bread an easy souvenir to carry home.

Spicy food pub in Jecheon: level 2 nuclear-spicy crab at Maeun Gieok

Maeun Gieok is a spicy-food pub on Dokssun-ro 11-gil near Jecheon Terminal in Chungbuk. A couple ordered the spicy marinated crab (38,000 won) at level 2 nuclear-spicy with salt gimbap (2,500 won) on the side, and while the heat matched the hottest Buldak instant noodles, the sauce was addictive enough that they could not stop. Because Maeun Gieok lets you pick your heat level, it is a solid choice on a day you want to show off your spice tolerance.
