Getting reacquainted

This was so fun! Several contestants from Culinary Wars get to cook in a more casual environment. They must use ingredients found in the visiting guest’s refrigerator in a 15 min win/lose battle with only two chefs participating. All the rest become the audience where their skills are compared and mistakes are pointed out. Right when they are finishing up a host goes up to ask questions and be in the way for further entertainment. I was not expecting such animated cheering and teasing from the watching chefs. They get quite loud and then quiet as they watch with anticipation to see guest’s expression at taste and make winner choice. Whoever wins the battle gets rewarded with a pin. The first battle had Li Mi Young (School chef) and Lee Yeon Bok (Master of Chinese cooking).They had to sing for this one because of the guest. The second was a battle of the eggs with Edward Lee and Choi Hyun Seok. This one even included a face mask 🤣 For a cooking show, this was very entertaining. I greatly enjoyed seeing the chefs chat and talk about their experiences as well as show off their skills.
