Le Grand Chef

Seong Chan (Kim Kang Woo), a talented chef who abandoned his culinary career after a tragic competition, now lives a quiet life as a farmer in a rural town. When a nationwide cooking competition offers him a chance to challenge his rival Bong Joo (Im Won Hee) and reclaim his honor, he assembles an unlikely team to compete for the title of heir to the last Royal Chef of the Joseon Dynasty. As top teams from across the country gather, Seong Chan must navigate intense competition and a long-buried family secret that threatens to derail his dreams. Facing numerous obstacles and intense pressure, he struggles to stay focused on winning the ultimate culinary challenge. Based on the manhwa "Sikgaek" by Huh Young Man, this is a dramatic 2007 South Korean film directed by Jeon Yun Su.
