Le Grand Chef

Le Grand Chef
(wikipedia)



Sung-chan: "The best food in the world is equal to the number of mothers."
(or, as I would put it: There are as many favorite dishes as there are mothers in the world)

Jin-su: "It takes more than great ingredients
to make the best food!"
(or, as I would put it: Great chefs know how to cook great dishes even when the ingredients are not the best!)

Fujiwara: "
Now I understand why King Soon-jong was moved to tears.
This beef soup contains every aspect of Korea.
The long-serving cow is Korea's grass-roots democracy.
The hot pepper oil is Korea's hot and lively spirit...
The taro shoots represent a nation that does not submit to foreign power.
The bracken is the vigorous life that spreads like wild grass.
What the Royal Chef cooked for the King was not just simply beef soup.
To the King who had lost his country, he demonstrated that Korea's spirit will live on.
The king could read the Royal Chef's heart and that's why he cried...
