A new food stand has opened in Cross Creek Mall, bringing a popular Korean street food right to the heart of Fayetteville. 

Corndogs by Mr. Cow is the latest addition to the Cross Creek food court, and opened last week to begin serving specialized Korean corn dogs. 

While they look similar to corn dogs served in America, Korean- style corndogs are cooked with a thicker, often sweet batter and can be served with a variety of toppings ranging from panko breadcrumbs, cubed potatoes, crushed ramen noodles or even sweet options.

True to the craze, Mr. Cow’s customizable menu lets customers build their own experience with  your choice of cheese filling, and your choice of flavor. Whether you’re looking for something savory through the “Spaghetti Stix” dog served with parmesan cheese and marinara toppings, or something sweet through the “Fruity Pop” dog topped with crunchy rice puff cereal, there’s plenty of options to pick from. 

The Fayetteville location was brought to the area by owner and Georgia native Donghan Lee. He shared that he was introduced to the franchise by his brother who is also involved and is excited to bring the good food and good vibes to Fayetteville. 

“In Korean style corndogs, we use rice fermented flour bases, so it’s like a bakery dough, it’s not like a regular flour dough. It’s outer crunchy, inside chewy,” shared Lee. “I’m trying to bring the vast taste of K-style dogs to the Fayetteville neighborhood. Just come to try [it] and you will love it, and you’ll love it with our special recipe.”
