CHOI HYUN SUK 'Ansungjae, bow your head 90 degrees to me and apologize..We're in a close relationship



Chef Choi Hyun-seok explained his feud with Chef Ahn Sung-jae, who met his natural enemy on Netflix 'Black and White Cook'.

MBC 'Radio Star', which aired today (30th), is decorated with a special feature of 'Black and White Global Zwa' starring Milanona, Choi Hyun-suk, Kwon Yul, and Lim Woo-il.

MC Yoo Se-yoon told Chef Choi Hyun-suk that sales have also topped after appearing on "Black and White Cook"?When asked ", Choi Hyun-seok said "In fact, it was very difficult for the restaurant industry. There was a time when I was in the red. So how do you put up with it?I did, but the sales changed dramatically because I became interested in the black and white chef. In terms of figures, it has tripled..." he said, drawing cheers from the panel.



The first week he went on 'The Black and White Chef's reservations at the Black Chef restaurant were huge. There are usually 20 to 50 simultaneous users on the reservation site, but there are several hundred. Since then, I've been active since the second week, and our restaurant has gone up to 13,000 people. If you open the reservation, you'll just go right away. It's full until December."

In the meantime, Choi Hyun-seok said, `Other than that, what I'm grateful for is that it was difficult to find employees when the restaurant was difficult, but now when I get a job, I get 20 to 30 resumes. I felt that the impact of the 'black and white cook' was huge this time around,' he added.

In addition, Choi Hyun-seok is a dish with an intention of 'Jang Trio' food presented in 'Black and White Cook'. But some chefs tried not to see the intention, he said, referring indirectly to chef Ahn Sung-jae.

I think Kim Gu-ra is talking about Chef Ahn. Is there anything accumulated in Ahn Sung-jae?" and Choi Hyun-seok "None." We're close," he said, then waved his hands and denied it.



However, contrary to the saying "We're close", Choi Hyun-seok drew laughter by saying that when he was on the food server, he also said 'It's a Jang trio that Chef Ahn hates.

In addition, Choi Hyun-seok, who uses 'food flowers', is a chrysanthemum flower that Chef Ahn hates while serving food with flowers. However, this flower has a weak crunchy texture of herbs, so eat it.'," he said, giving another laugh.

CHOI HYUN SUK "If flowers don't taste good, why don't you like it when I say I'll add color to my dish?", and continued to diss chef Ahn Sung-jae, not diss.

He said "That friend (Ahn Sung-jae) is a three-star Michelin chef, so he pursues perfection. But we always change the menu and challenge ourselves. Chef Ahn Sung-jae said, "I do not change the menu in pursuit of perfection."

After repeatedly explaining that he is close to Ahn Sung-jae's cooking philosophy (?) Choi Hyun-seok revealed an anecdote that could prove his friendship with Ahn Sung-jae.

Choi Hyun-suk "I met chef Ahn Sung-jae at a cooking event not too long ago. As soon as he saw it, he came to me, bowed his head 90 degrees, held his hand, and said, `I'm sorry.' So I said 'There's nothing to be sorry about. We're good because you don't like my cooking. We have a close relationship," he said, explaining the rumors of Ahn Sung-jae's feud.
