Michi Photostory: Korean Food Reality Shows

I never been to South Korea pero feeling ko nakarating na rin ako sa dami na ng mga napanood ko na Korean drama, movie, travel reality shows and now I’m into food reality shows.

The first food reality show I watched was Youn’s Stay, and then last year I enjoyed watching Culinary Class Wars. Since then, I started exploring other Korean food reality shows. I just recently finished The Genius Paik, and currently, I am watching three ongoing series on Netflix: Chef & My Fridge, The Blank Menu for You, and K-Foodie meets J-Foodie.

1. Youn’s Stay - this was filmed during the time of COVID-19, so instead of Youn’s Kitchen, it became Youn’s Stay, where they invited foreigners to stay in their Hanok Guesthouse in South Jeolla.

2. Culinary Class Wars - this is a cooking competition where 100 elite chefs compete for a 300 million Korean Won prize. The chefs are divided into two classes: white spoons for veterans and black spoons for newcomers. The two judges were Paik Jong-Won and Anh Sung-Jae.

3. The Genius Paik - Paik Jong Won traveled to Morocco and Naples, Italy, to run a restaurant for a few days and introduced Korean cuisine.

I enjoyed watching these shows even though I am not into Korean Food and Drink. Malay mo, bumalik yung love ko sa cooking and baking because nowadays, I consider cooking a chore so I just cook the same menu every month.
