In a recent episode of JTBC's popular variety show 'Knowing Brothers', Chef Farbury proudly claimed his restaurant has become the center of a hot culinary scene.
The 458th episode, aired on the 9th, featured guests including 'Black and White Chef' Jeong Ji-sun, Farbury, 'Cooking Madman' Yoon Nam-no, and 'Iron Chef' Lim Tae-hoon, who transferred to "Brother School" for the day. Host Kang Ho-dong remarked on the immense popularity of 'Black and White Chef', revealing that reservations are fully booked until next year, with many chefs' bookings extending into early 2025. Yoon Nam-no boasted that slots for one-month reservations sell out in just about 50 seconds, almost a minute, highlighting the high demand for their culinary offerings.
Lim Tae-hoon chimed in, confirming that even a month's bookings close before hitting the one-minute mark, while Jeong Ji-sun noted that reservations are fully booked until the end of December. They shared that the demand is so high that walk-in customers often have to wait outside, causing local café owners to rejoice as their businesses thrive. Farbury added with humor that the influx of customers leads to happy café owners, as patrons wait and enjoy coffee, benefiting everyone in the bustling neighborhood.
This lively exchange not only showcased the chefs' camaraderie but also illustrated how the culinary scene in Korea is thriving, thanks to their contributions. The episode continues to highlight the cultural significance of culinary art in South Korea, weaving together entertainment and gastronomy.
