About Le Grand Chef
Le Grand Chef is based on Young-man Huh’s popular 2002 newspaper cartoon series. At a press conference, the cooking knife of the last Royal Chef of the Chosun Dynasty is presented to the public. The chef, who did not wish to cook for the Japanese imperial rulers, had cut off his hand with this knife. Moved by the chef’s actions, a Japanese bureaucrat kept it upon his return to Japan, and now his son has decided to return the knife to Korea. In order to find a deserving owner, he announces a nationwide culinary competition. Thus the destined match between the grandsons of the two apprentices of the royal chef has begun … In Korean language with English subtitles.
