As I mentioned before, Desiree and I have been watching a Korean cooking series called Culinary Class Wars. It’s a cooking competition where 80 local cooks (the “Black Spoon” contestants) go head-to-head with 20 renowned celebrity chefs (the “White Spoon” contestants) for a shot at culinary fame and respect.
Some
of the dishes prepared are not exactly to my taste, but the variety of ideas and
cooking methods is impressive for every challenge. I also get a kick out of the
nicknames given to some of the competing chefs. The following are a few
examples:
Culinary Monster
Witch With a Wok
Barbecue Lab Director
Three Star Killer
Iron
Arms
I
told chef Desiree we need to come up with a tag for her. I like the name
“Pancit Queen.” Desiree favors “Cooking Godzilla.” Either way, I think she
would have a serious shot at winning a cooking competition like this, and I
wouldn’t be surprised if the judges learned her name early.
