"Culinary Class Wars 2" winner Choi Kang-rok received a 300 million won prize, and behind-the-scenes stories were also revealed.
On the 23rd, YouTube channel '정지선의 칼있스마' featured Culinary Class Wars 2 final fourth-place Jung Ho-young appearing to review the Culinary Class Wars finale.
Jung Ho-young candidly said, regarding the Culinary Class Wars 2 filming, "It wasn't hard. Even if it ended at dawn, it was fine — I think because I won, it was okay. I think I'd do well if I did it again."
He also relayed the deposit news, saying, "Wow, Kang-rok said the prize money was deposited," and Jung Ji-seon asked, "So it's in now?" Then Jung Ho-young said, "I called and they said it came in today. Wow, Kang-rok, let's stay close," which drew laughter again.
When the production team said, "The prize money comes in later than expected," Jung Ho-young surprised everyone by saying, "It is after this is confirmed. Because if you spoil it, you can't receive it."
In a previous interview with OSEN, Choi Kang-rok said about the whereabouts of the 300 million won prize, "I haven't received it yet," and said, "My juniors often talk about fine dining, and when I hear that I say, 'Is your heart fine?' I think fine dining isn't about having the form but about the maker's heart being fine. If so, whether you run a noodle shop or a set-meal restaurant, they could all become fine dining. If I have the chance later, my dream is to grow old running a noodle shop," adding, "I plan to add the prize money to that."
When asked why he specifically picked a noodle shop, Choi Kang-rok said, "I like noodles. When I think about something I can do even in old age, noodles come to mind. I don't think I'll be able to run food that requires hiring many people to produce good dishes. I want a place where if I feel a bit unwell today, I can just close the door and rest. If that structure works, noodles seem like a good menu. I think I'd have to sell more than 50 bowls of noodles before I can rest," he said.
