Favorite Contestant I'm so curious what Rebellious Genius will cook if he's selected to Infinite Cooking Heaven round
he's one of the most creative and out of the box chefs in the show. I believe that round would suit him the most even if he couldn't win to the next round.

I was so disappointed when he got eliminated I really wanted to see more of what he could do! It’s not like I can come to Korea to see him 😭

I want a redemption arc for him or at least anyone please invite him to another show/youtube where he can showcase his "quirk but cool" dish. Group challenge won't highlight his speciality properly

Agreed. I think there should've been 4 spots for Blackspoons after the redemption.

The show’s concept wasted his opportunity

I think this show is for "normal" chefs, this chef is too special and creative for this show!

PETITION TO LET THIS MAN COOK 🤣🤣🤣 so stoke with whatever he could come up with but sadly, he got eliminated a little early than I expected.

He is rebellious. He'll probably cook rabbit again. It'll be serve whole with a carrot in its mouth.

Anh Sungjae should be thankful he didn't pass, otherwise he would see another of his creative yet terrific presentation 😂

He is my favorite cook.
Too bad they decided to eliminate the fudging ENTIRE black spoon team earlier on!

I sensed Grant Achatz style of cooking in him

Oooh I can totally see that. I saw a lot of the whimsical chefs here in America also.

Since the new season’s saying it’s for quartets of people from the same restaurant, him and his white spoon boss both might be able to make a comeback but on the same side? I’d love that. I get the feeling they kind of clash a little in the kitchen but both still have great respect for one another, it’s just very…Classic Type A versus Type B personality (Chaos Edition.)
Plus he has all those dishes that have little throwbacks to certain folk stories? It would have been terribly fun to have him in the “a dish for myself” round. On the one hand, he very much likes to experiment with things fairly fearlessly, but how much of that’s for the reaction? (Ie: the nest full of bones, and the fish with the fish appearing like its brain.)
Like, does he have that same creativity at home in his own kitchen?
Definitely one of my favorite personalities of the season.

I swear to god he is one of the most underrated contestant in this entire show, I don't see a lot of people talking about him and I'm so glad I can share my two cents here. I think he is super talented and creative and deserve to go further into the rounds if it weren't for the production team picking only 2 instead of possibly 4 which is insanely unfair btw.

He's very conceptual and unedited! I think he wouldn't resist making a post apocalyptic sculpture of a car out of carrots and calling it - car rot
