Chapter 197 - In front of the Starting Line (3) (2/2)
“Just shut up if you’re getting food for free, you lazy bastard You have a lot to say for someone who didn’t help at all Further dish that you needed to focus on Honestly speaking, this isn’t at that level”
“Why not? I like this more than that restaurant”
Kaya started to smile at Jo Minjun’s words Anderson shook his head
“……These lunatics”

Rose Island was busier than usual that day It was not only because their newly hired servers and sommeliers were present There were cameras all around the kitchen and hall, as well as ca around
They were doing a special on Rose Island The beautifully decorated main branch that lived in theBeing able to do a special on such a location was an attractive topic for the broadcast station It was also beneficial for Rose Island since fil day What probleet in the way of their cooking?
But the caht up in an unexpected situation The de every dish and asked them to taste it At first, they happily ate it, excited that they would get to eat such luxurious food for free, but this baptism of food did not stop The PD next to Jo Minjun stuck out his tongue
“You’re already working this hard even though you haven’t even opened?”
“It’s been like this for a few months already We can’t test our teamwork on custos?”
Jo Minjun avoided the PD’s eyes The PD let out a chuckle before starting to speak again
“I heard a bit about you from Martin He said you become a completely different person when you cook”
“It’s not always the case If it was, I would be crazy Oh, did Martin perhaps callJo Minjun let out a sigh, he quickly added on
“Ah, but he didn’t just say you were crazy, he said you were a lovable crazy”
“What is different about it?”
“The fact that there is some affection”
“……I’m not sure I don’t think Martin’s affection will help console the fact that he called ht You are crazy”
Janet, as heading for the fridge, casually said that as she walked by Jo Minjun looked at Janet with a devastated expression before turning back around to ed his shoulders
“Seems like a pretty official title?”
“Please edit that out”
Jo Minjun shortly answered before focusing back on his cooking The PD looked at the focused Minjun, as well as the servers practicing their serving in the kitchen and hall Both the kitchen and the hall seemed to be very well trained
‘……Did they say the es every 15 days’
The concept of Jo Minjun’s dish, putting air into mozzarella cheese to blow it up like a balloon, was quite fresh To create a new menu like that every fifteen days … … any normal person would probably feel like their head was about to blow up
‘But I guess this is Rachel Rose and Rose Island because so like that is possible’
Even the extremely prideful famous restaurant chefs could not act that way in front of Rachel Rose Is it because it is the kitchen of such person? Or is it because she picked only the best of the best? All of the demi chefs in the kitchen see that got in the way of their cooking, and nothing that made them anxious All of the dishes theythe same dishes over and over, that …… was actually harder than et co over and over Just the fact that they could maintain the sa enough as de astrono for a couple e, liquid nitrogen, and agar Was it easier to cook things that required visible precision? Although the PD was not an expert, he hadas a PD He could tell that Jo Minjun’s hand movements seemed just as natural as so that as a PD, he had to focus on Minjun’s absolute taste, but as a customer, you couldn’t help but be in awe of his abilities’
Realistically speaking, you couldn’t split the two apart The absolute taste was a part of Minjun’s abilities It made the PD recall a conversation with Martin
‘Do you knohat the inning, Minjun was not really a very talented chef’
‘But he ed to last until the final three, didn’t he? With your personality, I doubt you would have asked to push him forward for his absolute taste No, even if you did, there is no way the judges would have done as you wanted So then what happened? Was he just lucky?’
‘How could he survive on luck when there were so many co so that someone’s skill can increase that quickly?’
‘I’m sure technique improves slowly But his intuition about food increased in a scary fashi+on No, to bestyles of everyone around him If you take a closer look, there were a lot of dishes that other contestants had atte the dishes that Minjun cooked in the second half of the show That was howto say?’
As the PD could not endure the frustration and asked, this was how Martin had responded
‘He will beco on who is around hiood chef’s kitchen, he will absorb all of it tois out of this world’
And that Jo Minjun was currently in Rachel’s kitchen The kitchen of the person known to be the greatest chef in the world The PD started to think to hirowth to me, and ……’
