This study aims to seek ways to industrialize Jeollanam-do's outstanding local dishes by examining the number of restaurants and the proportion and significance of Korean restaurants found in 10 main cities and counties in Jeollanam-do. Of the restaurants in these cities and counties, Korean restaurants made up 50.0% of the total. The average population to restaurant ratio was 74.6 to 1 which indicated greater competition between restaurants compared to large cities. The population to Korean restaurant ratio was 149.2:1, showing that one Korean restaurant corresponds to around 150 members of the population. Exemplary restaurants made up 3.9% of the total. Exemplary Japanese restaurants comprise 13.8% of this figure while exemplary Korean restaurants amount to 4.2%. This suggests a need to increase the proportion of exemplary Korean restaurants to the 10% range in order to achieve an overall quality enhancement for Jeollanam-do food. Improved dining venues and an enhanced food and dining culture are necessary in order to use Jeollanam-Do food to develop a value-added food industry.
