The first food reality show I watched was Youn’s Stay, and then last year I enjoyed watching Culinary Class Wars. Since then, I started exploring other Korean food reality shows. I just recently finished The Genius Paik and currently, I am watching three ongoing series on Netflix; Chef & My Fridge, The Blank Menu for You, and K-Foodie meets J-Foodie.
1. Youn’s Stay - this was filmed in time of COVID-19 so instead of Youn’s Kitchen it became Youn’s Stay where they invited foreigners to stay in their Hanok Guesthouse in South Jeolla.
2. Culinary Class Wars - this is a cooking competition where 100 elite chefs compete for a 300 million Korean Won prize. The chefs are divided into two classes, white spoons for veterans and black spoons for newcomers. The two judges were Paik Jong-Won and Anh Sung-Jae.
3. The Genius Paik - Paik Jong Won traveled to Morocco and Naples, Italy to run a restaurant for a few days and introduced Korean cuisine.

I enjoyed watching these shows even though I am not into Korean Food and Drink. Malay mo, bumalik yung love ko sa cooking and baking because nowadays, I consider cooking a chore so I just cook the same menu every month.
