"Grand Chef season 3 winner... Kaya Lotus."
Jo Minjoon wrote down what he remembered on his notebook. The season that opened on 2010 was the third one. Although he didn't watch all the episodes, he did watch all the important parts. Like who was the winner, what abilities did she have. And in this season, she was also the chef Jo Minjoon respected the most.
Maybe she was the most talented one on Grand Chef. Also she was the most popular winner. I think she deserved that. She was white, 18 years old, pretty looking, and british accent. And on top of that the trademark that she was from a poor family made her the perfect cinderella.
Just like what you would expect of someone from a poor family, her mouth was foul and she liked to curse, but there wasn't a single time when the judges didn't praise her dish. You wouldn't believe it if they told you that her dish was made without receiving any education. Even in Korea the name of 'Kaya Lotus' rose to the top of search engines...
"Will I be able to beat her?"
I don't need any background. Grand chef wasn't an audition that picked singers or actors. It was a chefs war where the food on the stage decided the winner. Cooking was everything that determined the winner. However.
Kaya Lotus was like a bottomless pit. Honestly it was to the point that he didn't even want her to participate on season 3. She was a monster that an amateur couldn't hope to beat.
"My weapons are knowledge and the system. Her's is talent...."
Jo Minjoon didn't know it all, but he remembered what kind of competition it was. There were some pieces of memory he couldn't remember, but he would be able to when the time came. Also in the case of tasting missions for example, you had to guess the ingredients of the crepe and Jo Minjoon had confidence in guessing all of them without getting any mistakes. It was the strength of the system.
Even if he was shown a dish and asked to make something identical, he could do it. Because he could know the recipe of the dish he tasted. Accurately speaking, he could only guess the dishes which tasting level was inferior to his cooking level.
And now Jo Minjoon's levels were like this.
[Jo Minjoon]
Cooking level: 5
Bakery level: 4
Tasting level: 7
Decoration level: 4
After reincarnating, the only thing that changed was that the tasting level went up by one. It was the results of trying to feel the tastes one by one when he tried food. But certainly,after that, whenever he tried food he felt it funnier and felt a deeper taste. The flavor of an ingredient, he could feel it more precisely with the tip of his tongue, and also seemed to get a deeper understanding on the ingredients.
"I need to raise my cooking level."
Jo Minjoon mumbled with a disappointed voice. The results of Jo Minjoon roaming around, the chefs of the restaurants that seemed okay to eat were on average from 4 to 5 points. That meant that Jo Minjoon's skills were just like that. Of course, for an amateur that was quite good, but it was insufficient.
He wanted to win. He didn't want to be another ordinary chef, but someone that could make food better than anyone else. Also Grand Chef was the first stepping stone for that.
He grew curious. What could be the level of Kaya Lotus?
Airport. In front of security check. Lee Hye Seon let out a sigh.
"Ugh. Saying that you are going to the United States."
"I'm sorry for going alone. Let's go together next time, mom."
