When Chef Choi Kang-rok won the "Black and White Chef 2", numerous viewers are sending heartfelt congratulations.
In the Netflix original entertainment show "Black and White Chef: Cooking Class War Season 2," which was released on the afternoon of the 13th, the final match between Choi Kang-rok and "Cooking Monster" Lee Ha-sung was drawn.
On this day, the theme given to the two was "Cooking for Me," Choi Kang-rok presented soup dishes with sesame tofu, and the cooking monster presented sundae soup. Judges Ahn Sung-jae and Jongwon Baek unanimously chose the Choi Kang-rok dish.
Before the judges sampled the dish, Choi Kang-rok said, "It's a soup filled with favorite ingredients. "It may not have anything to do with the preferences of the judges," he said. "I'm a boiled person. I once won a cooking competition, and I was told that I ate a lot of braised food, so I was told that it was 'braised human', 'consecutive braised horse', and 'braised food'. In fact, I'm not good at cooking it, but I pretended to be good at it. I've tried a lot, but I have a life that I've lived to pretend. I didn't want to cook even in the dish for me," he said.

After the jury unanimously decided to win, Choi Kang-rok said, "I'm not even an exceptional food person," adding, "I'm a person who does the same job as chefs who hide and work hard across the country and people who make food."
As Choi Kang-rok's victory was broadcasted, viewers visited his SNS. Choi Kang-rok's last post was posted on June 25 last year, promoting his essay "Cooking".
Although Choi Kang-rok has not been active on social media for seven months, viewers said in the comment section of the last post, "I knew how to make it." "No, it's a serial stew." "It's a proof that it's okay not to cook stew." "I was happy when I clapped when I won," "I was impressed by the time I was most honest with myself," "I was emotional when I saw him explain 'Cooking for Me.' " "A chef who is not just good at cooking, but also knows how to touch emotions," he said, "The final, where every word was like a gem," and "Is there another winner like this?" and is delighted with his victory.
