A priest in South Korea is serving up bowls of rich Korean stew in Seoul via a restaurant ministry as a means to fight youth hunger in the nation’s capital.

The restaurant serves “a single, affordable meal to all young people,” namely a bowl of jjigae, a traditional Korean stew. The meals are given to customers “regardless of their financial situation, with no standards attached.”
