## Article
The Little Cottage by the Railroad Tracks in Deokjin-gu, Jeonju is built around one dish: a garlic-marinated chicken stew that's been refined since 1998. The signature move is the two-step cooking process — the chicken is marinated in a special garlic sauce at low temperature first, then cooked again. That double-cook is what makes the meat fall-apart tender and lets the savory garlic flavor sink all the way through.

The restaurant's interior is intentionally retro and wooden, the kind of cozy space that feels like a deliberate slow-down from traveling. It's not trying to be Instagram-slick; it's trying to be a place where you actually rest. The menu rounds out with chili pepper pancakes, aged kimchi pancakes, and rice balls with dried seaweed flakes — all the kind of sides that make sense alongside the stew.

According to the Korea Tourism Organization, the restaurant is open 11:00–21:00 with a break from 15:00–17:00, and closed Mondays. Parking is available on-site.
