Los Angeles Cooking Competition

The qualifications were only for people orked in Los Angeles restaurants You could say that the scale was sets contestants from around the world, but in reality, it was not that way

Within the Western district of good cuisine, Los Angeles was said to have thea hot pot of culture, and Los Angeles was no exception

To exaggerate a little bit, there were no dishes you could not find in Los Angeles It had people from all over the world and had restaurants of all cuisines Which of course eles The only place that could co, which is known as the capital of taste

Thanks to that, although the Los Angeles Cooking coion, the variety of food presented did not lose out to any international competitions If you also take into consideration the fact that it was difficult for a restaurant to survive in Los Angeles due to the coh levels of culinary skills It was no surprise then, for Javier’s face to becoly very nervous”

“Don’t be nervous In fact, I’ at us We are the soldiers of Rose Island”

“Are we somehow the focus?”

“There is no need for somehow Wouldn’t it be odder if we did not draw attention?”

Jo Minjun responded in a casual manner Rose Island’s fame, Rachel’s return, and the fame that Jo Minjun and Anderson had as well If you put all of those together, it would be really odd for them not to draw attention Javier looked toward Jo Minjun as if he was in awe

“You don’t seem very nervous”

“There is no need to be We’ve practiced enough and our recipe is perfect The only thing left is to trust me and all of you”

“It is that trust that is hard to do”

Javier shrugged his shoulders as he said that Jo Minjun shtly squeezed Javier’s shoulders

“Open up your shoulders We are better chefs than we think we are Not only do I trust myself, I trust all of you even more That is why I a speech soood ords”

“Words said with honesty are even better to hear than prose”

“That saying is pretty cool too”

Javier closed his eyes and started to s that Jo Minjun had just said Anderson was listening in on the two of their conversation before he peeked toward Janet She was currently praying with her eyes closed Anderson quietly watched Janet before finally starting to speak once she opened her eyes

“This is surprising Are you nervous too?”

Janet did not respond right away Her pupils slowly turned to the edge of her eyes as she looked toward Anderson It was dark and cold as usual She slowly started to speak Compared to the amount of time Anderson had waited, her words were short

“Why?”

“Hht you would be similar to me Full of confidence al?”

“Yes You rong”

That was all Janet said She did not try to explain why she was nervous That hy it was Anderson who pushed a little more

“Why was I mistaken?”

“Why do I need to explain that to you?”

“……because we are teammates?”

Even Janet could not help but pfft and let out a laugh It eird for someone with an expression that was colder than ice to say so so cheesy that it could be found in a children’s tv show Maybe that hy Although she norhts, Janet cal I can do is be nervous If I wasn’t even nervous……I didn’t have an incomparable culinary education like you did, nor do I have an absolute taste like Minjun The things that are easy for the two of you are difficult for me Because of that ……”

“It was never easy for me either”

Anderson cut Janet off and answered Janet instantly opened her eyes widely in shock before lowering her gaze and nodding her head

“……You’re right I’m sure It wasn’t easy for you either Sorry That was ize Don’t be so serious”

Anderson answered with an ehtly odd Anderson let out a fake cough before turning to look at Jo Minjun beforeat ”

Jo Minjun started to snicker It was the type thatabout it Anderson looked away as he started to speak

“You said Kaya was coht?”

“I think so”

“Will she cheer you on? Or will she cheer on her own restaurant?”

Instead of responding, Jo Minjun looked up toward the audience on the second floor He could not tell whether Kaya was there There were too many people in the audience Someone once said that if you really love someone, they are the only one that you can see, but …… even that can only happen if you can see the person

The reason that Kaya’s restaurant was taking part in the competition but Kaya was in the audience was simple She was a head chef Kaya’s role in a restaurant was focusing on creating recipes and being the face of the restaurant to the custo As it was a restaurant proest anticipations people had when co there was to see the face of Kaya Lotus, the winner of the Grand Chef competition

Jo Minjun looked around the auditoriuathered There were notto Isaac, that started to happen once Rose Island started to win the trophy with demi chefs

Since the demi chefs are the ones to actually cook the food, the demi chefs need to be the ones to co However, since they alon the trophy with their demi chefs, it ruined the reputation of the restaurants that also sent their sous chefs and head chef

Of course, that did not mean that there were no head chef level individuals there It would not be weird for a head chef to participate if they orking on the line It was also normal if a restaurant did not have h influence to change the scope of the competition……’

Jo Minjun closed his eyes He could clearly feel his heart beating loudly inside Whether the legend remained in the last or returned was up to their hands Once he opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of fighting spirit It was at that mooing on?’

Jo Minjun hesitated for a moment as he looked at the other person It was an Asian e He was a fat man with a round face; his thick eyebrows and double eyelidsAnd then, that haseyo! Jo Minjun chef-nim”

Jo Minjun could not help but be surprised First, the voice did not match the appearance, and second, he had spoken to Minjun not in English, but in Korean Jo Minjun grabbed the htly nervous expression

“Ah, yes Anyeonghaseyo”

“I’m sorry to approach you like this out of the blue I really wanted to meet you at least once”

Jo Minjun finally realized that theas if they were stars Even the hand that was holding Jo Minjun’s hand was shaking from nervousness The man bit down on his dry lips and started to speak

“I haven’t introduced myself yet My name is Lee Tae Hoon I run a small Korean restaurant in Hanta”

“Jo Minjun But Hanta…… ah, are you talking about Koreatown[1]?”

“Yes I enjoyed the broadcast And I’ Korean cuisine a couple times on Grand Chef, I’ve had more profits since then Other people in Hanta feel the same way Everyone is thankful to Jo Minjun chef-nilad I was able to help”
