In a Facebook poll of 17,328 respondents, 5.5% chose “SEOUL TRAIN KOREAN BARBECUE”. How we count
Escobar Cantina grabbed the early lead, only to get swept aside by day 4 when iChill Theater Café surged 8 points clear. That didn't last either — Yard at Xavierville flipped it on day 8, then Sobremesa seized command on day 9 and held a steady 4-5 point cushion through the poll's long middle stretch, fending off Ramen Nagi and the Yard for over two weeks.
Then, with just 4 days left, Seoul Train Korean Barbecue blew past Sobremesa and never looked back, closing 6 points ahead for the win. The gap tells its own story: Seoul Train pulled women at more than 3-to-1 (732F vs 220M) and drew from a staggering 948 non-fans to just 9 fans — a genuinely broad, late-breaking favorite, not a fanbase bloc vote.
- Four lead changes · Power shifted on days 4, 8, 9, and 25 before the final winner emerged.
- Late surge wins it · Seoul Train overtook Sobremesa only 4 days before the poll closed.
- Women drove the winner · Seoul Train's voters split 732 women to 220 men.
- Grassroots, not fan-club · Seoul Train drew 948 non-fans versus just 9 fans.
