Unexpected Revelations from Gangnam’s Culinary Scene
Michelin-Starred Chefs Flock to Gangnam
‘French Papa’ Stands Strong for 17 Years
Chef Yoon Nam-no, star of ‘Black and White Chef,’ is making waves by spilling the beans on Gangnam’s competitive restaurant scene. The upcoming episode of MBC’s ‘Save Me! Homes,’ airing Thursday, December 12th, continues last week’s culinary journey, featuring chefs from Netflix’s hit show ‘Black and White Chef 2.’
This episode follows ‘Black and White Chef 1’ alum Yoon Nam-no, known as the ‘Culinary Maverick,’ and Park Eun-young, the ‘Chinese Cuisine Goddess,’ as they explore the ‘Black and White Chef District’ alongside Kim Sook, a renowned foodie in the entertainment world. After last week’s Yongsan excursion, the trio ventures into Gangnam, a hotbed of Michelin-starred restaurants, promising viewers an insider’s look at this culinary battleground.
Upon entering Gangnam Boulevard, Chef Yoon drops a bombshell, confessing his ‘Gangnam Allergy’ despite years of working in the area. This revelation is particularly shocking given Gangnam’s status as the epicenter for ‘Black and White Chef’ restaurants. Yoon’s candid discussion about the cutthroat competition resonates with viewers, offering a rare glimpse into the challenges faced by even successful chefs.
The group then visits ‘French Papa,’ helmed by Chef Tommy Lee, a Cheongdam-dong fixture for an impressive 17 years. The restaurant’s classic interior, largely unchanged since its opening, showcases his wife’s artistic touch. Lee reports being fully booked since his ‘Black and White Chef 2’ appearance, much to the chagrin of comedian Jang Dong-min, who humorously laments, “If it’s fully booked, how am I supposed to get a table?” eliciting laughter from the studio audience.
Chef Lee regales the audience with the tale of how he discovered his restaurant location while cycling 17 years ago. The show also offers a peek into his state-of-the-art kitchen and high-end culinary equipment. Chef Yoon marvels at the kitchen’s efficiency, learning that ‘French Papa’ meticulously designed the space to minimize movement, a process that took a month to perfect.
‘Save Me! Homes’ promises exclusive access to a yet-to-open restaurant’s additional space and kitchen, building anticipation among viewers. The episode also teases the reveal of ‘French Papa’s’ secret weapon – one potent enough to cure even Yoon’s ‘Gangnam Allergy.’
Catch the second installment of the ‘Black and White Chef District’ on MBC’s ‘Save Me! Homes’ this Thursday at 10 PM.
