Frenzy over South Korea eatery table used by Nvidia’s Jensen Huang prompts time limit
The fried chicken restaurant now limits the use of Huang’s table to one hour as diners flock to the spot even before opening hours
“The table occupied by Jensen Huang can be used for only an hour,” said a notice posted in front of the store near Samseong station in southern Seoul.
Since Huang’s visit last Thursday, crowds have lined up in front of the store even before opening hours, hoping to enjoy fried chicken at the same table once used by Huang and the South Korean business leaders. The restaurant, however, does not accept reservations for the table.
Their 70-minute gathering generated massive public buzz, as it is rare to see global business leaders make an appearance at such a casual dining restaurant in such a busy part of Seoul.
