TV News Confused Restaurant P.F. Chang’s and Pyeongchang

Pyeongchang is a mountainous county 110 miles southeast of Seoul in South Korea, and the host of the 2018 Winter Olympics.

P.F. Chang’s is an Asian-inspired chain restaurant with 210 U.S. locations, including ones in Chicago, Lombard, Northbrook, Orland Park and Schaumburg.

Chang 2018.” (Read more from “TV News Confused Restaurant P.F. Chang’s and Pyeongchang” HERE)
