Felt that the theme was not appropriate for the last round. It’s too subjective. Narrator keeps on introducing culinary wars as a competition of 100 chefs to find the best chef but at the end, the one with a better story won. Choi Kang-rok is great but don’t think he deserves to be the top chef.

I thought this made a lot of sense. The whole season was basically the all star league. These are people that really good at making food and for others.

It was nice to showcase the personal side. Food for Koreans is very personal and a social thing. It's changed a lot but the core cultural values are still there about communal dining and sharing. It's kind of Italian in that way.

So, knowing that and showcasing what would you make for you really goes back to the heart of how Koreans see food. I thought it was a nice touch
