Attention is focusing on why Chef Choi Kang-rok, the winner of "Black and White Chef 2," does not have a restaurant in operation.

In the final episode of Netflix's cooking competition program "Black and White Chef: Season 2 of Cooking Class Wars," which was released on the 13th, Chef Choi Kang-rok beat the cooking monster (real name Lee Ha-sung) to win the final championship.

Immediately after the broadcast, the cast's restaurant received a flood of reservation inquiries, but Choi Kang-rok does not have any restaurants in operation.

Choi Kang-rok previously operated 136-gil Yukmi in Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and reportedly closed down after running a Japanese bar "Neo" in Samjeon-dong, Songpa-gu for two years from 2022.

In this regard, Choi Kang-rok's difficulties in restaurant management, which he revealed on his YouTube channel in the past, are being re-examined. At the time, Choi Kang-rok said, "I'm actually a little sorry for customers who come with too much expectation. I think I may not be able to meet my expectations," he confessed.

In particular, he mentioned an anecdote he experienced while running a restaurant in the past, saying, "A customer who had some alcohol at night said, 'I came all the way here and I cried because I was so disappointed.' That was the best there, but I didn't know what to do," he recalled.

Choi Kang-rok then said, "Restaurants are getting harder to do. I thought I should do it after training a little more," he confessed.
