Cooking Genius With God

"Haru, can't you think about it again? I can't believe I'm retiring all of a sudden.”

"I'm sorry, Chef."

"It's Haru……."

Park Chu-hyuk asked sincerely, but one day was firm.

I've already made up my mind and talked to Choi Hanseok.

One day I thought like this.

"Of course, it would be better if I stayed in the oral fairy tale. Because you're right. oral fairy tale is a famous Korean restaurant all over the world. It's a place that's been recognized for its taste so much that it maintains a Michelin three-star."

"Yes, you are. But why are you trying to leave all of a sudden? The Michelin Three Star. To be honest, that was maintained thanks to you.”

At the best restaurant, even the head chef promised a guaranteed future.

At this rate, the future as a successful chef of the day is guaranteed.

But one day I thought it couldn't satisfy me.

Chef Choi Hanseok said this. Let's start from scratch, build my own restaurant.'

The oral fairy tale is already a good restaurant. It was as clear as that.

But if it stays in the oral fairy tale, the limit of the day is to end there.

Neither Choi Han-seok nor a day wanted it.

"I want to try again. Starting with a small restaurant, we'll take the path Chef Choi Hanseok took. I want to build a restaurant named after me."

"Chef Choi Han-seok's..."…. Road……."

That's what Choi Hanseok said.

He also jumped into the kitchen penniless.

Starting with Je, he eventually created a oral fairy tale.

Haru also wanted to do so. Besides, there is Choi Han-seok next to him.

You can set up a restaurant, a chef of the land that has never existed before. The two of them believed so strongly.

Also, Park Chu-hyuk knew that.

I was able to understand Haru's mind because I was a disciple of Choi Han-seok and talked with him a lot.

"But can't you just think about it one more time? Haru. Was our oral fairy tale such a poor restaurant for you?”

That's why I wanted to hold on to it more.

It's because I know that the path I was going to take for a day is never easy, and I really wanted to make Haru a chef from his restaurant.

But Park Joo-hyuk was also implicitly realizing it.

Almost impossible to change the mind of the day.

Haru looked at Park Joo-hyuk with his usual pure smile.

"No, oral fairy tales are too much for me. So, I want to go out more. Chef. No, Park Joo Hyuk. Hold on a minute, please. I don't know how many years it will take, but let's meet at the top.”

"Yes... yes. Haru, you've already made up your mind. Don't that right?"

"I'm sorry, Chef."

"No, there's nothing you need to be sorry about. If anything, I'm sorry."

Park Joo-hyuk nodded slowly.

One day I knew it was a silent yes.

"I'll tell the other chefs. You're not in a hurry, are you? Hosung must be disappointed."

"Thank you, Chef."

"What. Go inside. There were a lot of reservations today."

"Yes, Chef!"

Like that, without permission.

Day also slowly began to prepare for a farewell.

* * *

"Good job, Haru. I'll see you up there like you said!"

"Good job, Chef Haru. I'll be rooting for you!"

'Goodbye—I'll look forward to it.'

Employees like family members of the old fairy tale waved to Haru.

His eyes and expression were filled with regret.

But it's the same for a day.

I was just grateful to the chefs who let him out without a big catch.

"Thank you. I'll be back later! Thank you for your hard work!"

Haru bowed down for the last time.

I'm turning around now, but I'll be back in a few years.I'll be the head chef of a restaurant that competes with Michelin stars.

Thinking so, I struggled with heavy steps.

"You said today was the last day, didn't you? The date of application for the World Food Festival at COEX."

Yes. It's until 6 p.m., so I think we should hurry up enough. By the way, it really starts now, Haru.

"I know……I'll do my best. Master."

Call me Chef! Anyway, I look forward to working with you too. My student.

The end is a new beginning.

It was a well-known saying now known as it is.

But there was nothing more to say than this to mean the situation of the day now.

A month that Hana handed over to Haru.

Haru and Choi seriously thought about how to spend the month.

This was the conclusion that came out after two people put their heads together all night.

"Let's do a food truck?”

Of course, I'm not suggesting we do business on a whim, but it's really helpful to try it for a few months. Because you're the boss, cooking, and welcoming guests.

"I feel like I'm starting a small restaurant myself."

Exactly! Haru, I'm glad you're like this. If you pretend, you're a car driver! And then I understood.

Food truck.

Haru and Choi Han-seok's first goal was this.

The idea is to prepare diligently for a month and start the food truck business, and then open a restaurant by saving up the money.

Due to the nature of food trucks regardless of time or place, it was too easy to deal with ghosts after midnight.

Business against people in the morning, business against ghosts in the evening.

I also told the regular ghosts who visited the restaurant every day, so I didn't worry about losing customers.

In addition, it is said that COEX, a large venue in the middle of Seoul, will hold a world competition festival.

It's called 'It to Seoul'.

It was a festival for young people who had just started a food truck or who were already in business, selling various foods around the world to people inside a food truck supported by COEX.

It was a well-known event, and although it was short-term, it supported trucks, so there was no opportunity like this for a day.

"Huh? Chef. Do you want to look here? On the festival application form, there's a space like this.”

What is it? Let's see. Whoo...

The eyes of the two who were returning to their own room and filling out the application together narrowed.

We filled out basic personal information and decided on the type of food to be sold as Korean food.

It was quite difficult to participate in the World Food Festival, where various interesting and popular foods will be presented, but Choi Han-seok decided that it would be better to start the day with the most confident event.

If you proudly make the best sales with Korean food among foods around the world aimed at young people, you will not have that experience.

That was quite right, and Haru accepted that opinion.

When I filled out the application form with that mind, there was this column at the end.

[Please write down your experience as a young chef applying for the 'It to Seoul' festival]]

[Anything related to cooking, such as a food truck, another restaurant, or a food-related job, is fine]

To let me know the applicant's career.

I thought that the better I had on the surface, the more advantageous I would be to be selected.

But at the same time, I was a little worried.

I don't mean to belittle the other contestants at all.A day's career is literally overwhelming, for it was itself.

It's just a day. Isn't this like a Western school? A chef from a Michelin three-star restaurant participated in a food truck festival. It's no joke.

"Ahaha, is that so?”

Of course, dude! Come over here. Let's write it down as it is. If you get a good seat at the venue because you'll catch the attention of event officials. Isn't that a good thing?

"Well, good is good."

Of course! Of course!

Tada, Tada!

With Choi Han-seok, who felt better, the day slowly began to fill in the fields.

Just telling the truth as it is.

Two years of experience as a chef at Michelin Three Star restaurant 'The Tale of the Word'. He started as an assistant, but later went to Rotisseur, where he was responsible for the grille, and then went up to Entremetier, where he went on the main course. Meanwhile, introduced in the Michelin booklet...….]

* * *

"I've earned the honor of being introduced in the Michelin booklet. Currently, I came out of the oral fairy tale with a desire to open a new restaurant...….”

'It to Seoul', the world food festival held at COEX.

The office of 'Youth Cooperative' a few days before the festival.

The youth cooperative was a company that hosted "It to Seoul" like COEX, which was screening participants to participate in the event.

A man, the chief of the department there, burst into laughter while reading the new applications ahead of the festival's application deadline.

"What are you reading, chief? What do you mean Michelin restaurant?"

"No, it's not that. This application came in just before the deadline. He said he was a chef who worked in a oral fairy tale?

"What? Really? Hahaha, that's a funny guy. No, oral fairy tales are the best Korean restaurant in the world. The chef who worked there comes to our festival because he's not satisfied. It's

"I mean, I mean. He must have been lying because he got some information from somewhere. Anyway, it's funny. What do you mean you're the hot new chef in this Michelin booklet?”

The section chief giggled, "There are all very strange people because the event is large."

However, his subordinates, who were worried about something, could not help but laugh.

Don't tell me, just in case.

He also read the newly released Michelin Guide booklet this year.

The main character of this booklet was a young chef of oral fairy tales no matter what anyone said.

The Michelin tasters have rarely done such rave reviews.

So I vaguely remembered his name.

"Well, chief. What is the name of the applicant by any chance? He's the new chef of oral fairy tales.”

"What's your name? Oh, here it is. Haru, you have a unique name."

"One day...?! Chief. That's the name on your ID, right? Don't that right?"

To apply for the COEX Festival, you must send a copy of your resident registration card together.

So the name itself couldn't be faked.

"Yes, you are. What do you have?"

The chief nodding his head as if nothing happened.

But the look on his subordinates' faces was nothing but dismay at a rapid pace.

He spoke cautiously in a trembling voice.

"Sir, maybe, maybe? I think...… the applicant, I think it's real."

"Huh? Really...Michelin star chef?

"Yes, here. Look at this. Aren't we the same person?"

A subordinate who searches for articles and shows them.

Sure enough, the face of the day in the article and the face of the support photo were completely identical.But the atmosphere was strange.

The face of the section chief, who had been catching his breath for a while, suddenly hardened.

Soon, he spoke in an irritated voice.

"Why are you coming to our event like that punk?"
