He's not making dinner for them, he's having them bring stuff 
With that said, I think the beef jerky is out due to the beef import restrictions.
Personally, I'd ask for a bunch of the flavor packets from ramen noodle packs. |

I thought you could bring beef jerky on a plane with you but you couldn't mail it. I'm probably wrong though. |

| My sister brought about a pound of beef jerky to Korea a few months ago. She declared it on her customs form, and they made her throw it all out upon arrival. |

Tabasco just came out with Buffalo sauce. I'd say give that a go!
Also, Reese's can be used as currency with some foreigners, here.
I load up on strong hard cheese, black, hard licorice, the toothpaste brand that I like, purple Listerine or ACT mouthwash, marmite, and vitamins whenever I visit the US or UK. |

Bourbon whiskey. It's a food, right?
If you're not one for the sauce, might I impose on your kind parents? Just a thought. |

I was thinking quality beer, that can be hard to find outside of a specialty beer bar (depending on where you live I guess). |

One of my parents is visiting soon and the only three things on my list are:
*Real* Sriracha sauce
Reese's PB Cups
Wild Pacific Smoked King Salmon
As for declaring stuff that's a rookie mistake. I was on a trip to Russia last month and brought back a bunch of salmon, salmon roe, and 6 bottles of vodka. Nothing to declare. No problems. |

You can get the following in Korea: Honey Roasted Peanuts, Nutella, Gold Fish crackers and sometimes Chips Ahoy at HomePlus.
Other things they might want to bring: Triscuits. Hamburger Helper, Tomato CupaSoup, Good Seasons Salad dressing packets, Ranch dressing packets, flavored potato chips! I'm a Poptart addict too and usually bring at least 5 boxes back with me when I go to the States! |

I brought this with me on my last trip to Korea. Sadly, I discovered there is nothing that could cover up the crappy taste of Koreanized pho. |
