Love through Food
I enjoyed the first season so much that I continued to watch the 2nd batch.Actually, I am missing Dae Hwan as he is such a hard worker and not a whiner. he accepts his mistakes and does better.
At first the new two guys - Soo Geun and Kyung Hwan are slow and complained a lot but towards the end they admitted that they are passive and need to step up. Kyung Pyo as he is much younger than all of them obeys though we can see his hardships.
What they did is no joke. Serving thousands of people who served the public is such a noble thing. I believe Paik Jong Won's expression of love is through his preparation of food. I am inspired by the way he planned and mentor his teammates. As Bo Hyung has been his partner before, he already knows that he can trust him with the desserts.
I like that they have a sizable truck already as they get to even add equipment and cooking implements into their trucks aside ingredients for their service.
Food warms us, but the making of good and satisfying food warms the hearts. Thank you for giving us this kind of show. I hope Jong Won will soon be able to get his business better and be able to have some kind of show - not just to show his love of cooking but also giving joy to those who eat them. Thank you to the producers, the crew who made this show possible.

Too Many Cooks in The Scene To Care (LITERALLY)
As an individual who enjoyed The Backpacker Chef, I expect to be just as good as S1.For the pros:
- Cooking process has improved with the "Bacpacker-car and stratagems such as leaving the other members for preparation.
- Female guests were introduced to help out the catering crew.
For the cons:
- Chemistry with the new members seems underwhelming. No playful brotherhood at all. (Bohyun rarely bonds with Soogeun and Kyeong-hwan.)
- TOO MANY BULK COOKING
- Daewhan's absence highlights one of the show's flaws: its charm.
- The tone went watered down to be bland and unmemorable.
- Controversial request from Jincheon jeopardized the show's integrity.
Nitpicks:
- Kyeong-hwan the underdog frustrates me, as there were times I have slight animosity with him. (Probably I dislike his guts though.) A lot of you guys were annoyed by DinDin's complaints, but I am one who appreciate him.
- Paik Jong Won's nagging behavior comes off as a nuisance over the course of this season including The Genuis Paik; which has given me second thoughts of whether I switch teams with Yeon Beok, Sam Kim, or even Cha Seung Won. (His childish two-faced comments towards DinDin in recent episode were both disheartening and made me scream, "ACT YOUR AGE, DANG IT! YOU ARE ON TV!")
Sadly, this becomes a rant of how I become ambivalent towards South Korea's cooking magician and why I couldn't wholeheartedly enjoy Season 2.
