The black and white chef's sensation... "Cooking is the main character."

[Anchor]
It is a popular entertainment show, Netflix's cooking competition program "Black and White Cook," which is being discussed wherever you go these days.

A day before the final winner's release, the production team and the cast chefs gathered in one place to reveal the secret to their popularity.

Reporter Song Jae-in went to the scene.

"Black and White Cook," a cooking competition program that has been at the top of Netflix's non-English category since its release.

The reason why famous chefs decided to appear was only because of the expectation that cooking would be the main character.

[CHOI HYUN SUK / Appearing on "Black and White Chef" : I thought he was a judge when I first got the offer. But the production team promised me that it's not a variety show character, but a program that shines when you just cook hard.]

The part that the production team focused on was no different.

[Kim Eun-ji / Producer of "Black and White Cook" : When designing missions, the biggest premise is 'confrontation by taste' and 'confrontation by taste'....]

The core of the program is that the hidden master 'Black spoon' and the famous 'white spoon' chef fought a class war, but

Unfortunately, the number of successful black and white chefs came out the same at each stage, and I was worried that the planning intention of "only considering the taste" would be blurred.

[Kim Hak-min / Producer of "Black and White Cook" : Personally, I wanted it to be mixed. I need to go 4:4, I don't mean anything like this at all....]

As a result, the 'topic scene' and the remarks that became a 'meme' are not the cast, but the food.

[Jung Ji-sun / Appearing on "Black and White Chef: You know that Bath is also used a lot as a GIF, right?] A lot of people followed along. I'm proud of myself as a Chinese chef.]

[Edward Lee / 'Black-and-white Chef' :( I'm getting cooking ideas) Fish….]

As much as its popularity, various controversies have also been raised over the production, especially when it was pointed out that it was difficult for Korean chefs to stand out, the "Kim Master" chef opened his mouth.

[Imokase No. 1 / Appearing on 'Black and White Cook' : I think (the team) has to do something in their respective positions to make one dish. To give a message as Korean food....]

The cast members said they had no regrets about the decision to appear.

I was puzzled by the flood of store reservation inquiries, and I hoped that the restaurant industry would continue to revitalize.
