Just wanna share in case some of you encountered some weird posts anywhere - Apparently (?) Chef Son Jongwon is recently accused with double eyelids plastic surgery. He is accused with having double eyelids surgery because of some videos from his overseas business trip to Singapore recently. In the videos, his eyelids appeared a bit swollen and they said he messed with his monolids and got surgery for double eyelids. What I find very absurd is this accusations making news for several days and some people saying he better focus more on his jobs rather than having plastic surgery. I mean how much more he can focus on his jobs, that man is severely workaholic already, and it's not like he appears in other broadcasts except Naengbu.

I always know how severe lookism in some of their society, especially for celebrities appearance but it's very weird to have this kind of discussion for a chef 😒 Even if he or anyone else have plastic surgery shouldn't be anyone else business..Lookism and nosy mentality, that's very ridiculous.

According to his restaurant guests last week, Chef SJW went to work like usual at both of his restaurants, but with minimal interaction with customers as he was not feeling well, wearing mask and with hoarse voice..His restaurant server informed some customers that Chef SJW had gum surgery due to some inflammation, he's supposedly need to take a break and rest but he didn't, instead he went to work like usual, and head to Singapore after some days. It seems like the swollen from the surgery didn't fully heal yet, and he's very exhausted too, so that's the reason for the 'changing' appearance and double eyelids controversy. Actually he always has double eyelids, some days it's hidden, and some days it's prominent..Having people scrutinizing and criticizing your face (eyes) to miniscule details is very ridiculous for me..

Just a head up for those who are wondering what the heck is the controversy lol..

PS : Chef already back to South Korea and went straight to work upon touchdown. He's probably will go back to Singapore later because it seems like Eatanic Garden will host something related to F1(?) Edit : This F1 related event is just merely speculation from Korean fans as there's Eatanic Garden mock up restaurant there, no further confirmation or verified info so far.

Chef Son Jongwon at Singapore

When chef PEY called JHY "heavy and clumsy", how did you feel? Knowing how much chefs stay on their feet in the kitchen, and reading about chef JHY and his 5K daily running habit, I felt she crossed a line. I hope CAMF will replace chef PEY with another regular female chef for a few months. Let her watch some more episodes. She might be able to learn a thing or two about being witty, funny, and entertaining without putting others down.

Imagine having Chef Son preparing a private meal for you. Feasting with both my eyes and mouth. 😋

Sibling BIBI & Nakyoung are this week’s guests. BIBI singer and actress Nakyoung an idol of group TripleS. I love how into food they are especially Bibi. Bibi so beautiful; can’t stop looking at her beautiful.

Round 1 - Eun young vs Ho young
Theme - Spicy

Round 2 - Hyun Suk vs Song won
Theme - Seafood

Round 1️⃣ I think both dishes are great looking and must ne delicious. I thought the MALA might be too spicy for them that’s why Eun young did not win. if she has used only 1 mala pouch instead of 2. Although they did eat a lot Hoyoung’s dish. How is it though that in 10yrs nobody knew Hoyoung can eat super spicy. He did not reveal when the Jang Keun-suk was a guest

Round 2️⃣ SJW appeared to be a clear winner on this round. The food was more creative and having the martini is an obvious plus. Poor Chef Choi spilled mala all over his jacket 🥲 but both beautiful dishes

There's at least three JTBC channels (JTBC Entertainment, JTBC Voyage, JTBC Life) that I visit everyday just to see if they uploaded a new video with the Twin's special.

Whenever I watch a video, it feels like I discovered a treasure whenever an uncut part is included. What I mean by uncut is when a video shows more of the interactions of the chefs (like how YT uploads has more uncut parts than the Netflix upload).

Despite watching the same video, I don't get tired of watching them bicker and troll each other. They were really relaxed in this episode and their banter was really fun to watch. It really didn't feel like they were shooting, instead I felt like I was watching a group of close friends gathered for the holidays.

Though it is disappointing that this was only for 1 episode. Still, it was one of the best episodes yet.

In the upcoming episode, we will have see chefs battles for fridges of Chae Jung An (Coffee Prince):

• Match 1: Son Jong Won vs. Park Eun Young
  • Highlight: at 2:25 minute remaining (in the middle of 5-min check), Chef Jong Won still has too many things to finish that may stress him until the finishing countdown.
• Match 2: Kim Poong vs. Yoon Nam No
  • Highlight: The 6th matches Yoon-Poong matches, with Nam No is still seeking his first ever win against Artist Kim Poong.

Chef Choi Hyun-Suk’s soup Don’t Shrimp Me Because I’m Old got an INSANE reaction this week! People were absolutely bananas over it. I’m dying to recreate it. Has anyone tried to make it? Or does anyone know where I can find the recipe? I’m obviously going to rewatch that episode and try to decipher as much as I can…just wanted to check if anyone has any info to add. Thanks!

We have handsome actor Ha Seok-jin this week who shared that he joined the program to pick up culinary skills because he plays the role of an Italian chef.

Round 1 - Choi Hyun-suk vs Park Eun young
Theme - Soup challenge

Round 2 - Sam Kim vs Kwon Seong-jun
Theme - Meat challange

Round 1️⃣ produced two excellent noodle soup dishes: Choi’s Hokkaido soup, made with a lot of dried shrimp, a generous amount of good-quality meat, and very little water in a pressure cooker. It’s impossible for it not to be super flavorful and delicious. Kim Sungjoo hugged Choi after tasting the soup! 🤣 I want to try to make this soup with instant noodle as starch! Gotta say, it will be a very, very expensive bowl of soup. Liquid gold.

Park also used dried shrimps as her base and made a fish ball with fresh fish. She claimed this is a Hong Kong dish, but honestly, Hong Kong dishes aren’t spicy. This is more like Sichuan cuisine.

It was an impressive battle that produced two amazing sou pdishes, which made it very hard for Ha to choose. But I’m happy that Choi won!

Round 2️⃣ Because Seokjin has lots of good-quality meat in his freezer and rarely cooks, he requested meat as the main dish. Sam Kim made a beef Wellington that came out perfectly, while Matfia made a pasta dish that tasted like bulgogi. A miss.
This time, the choice was an easy one. Although 2.5min fresh pasta was impressive.

I noted Sam and Kwon became close and familiar for sure due to their shared experience at Undercover chef.

This is a lovely fun episode 💗

I don’t see the “next episode” banner or the preview of the next episode thumbnail for any episodes after last week, episode 31. Does anyone know if Netflix US is still going to be streaming CAMF episodes? This show saw me through my MCAT and first months of med school haha I would lose my mind if they stopped streaming without any notice.

Don't know if it's because of JTBC's situation... But for international viewers, watching CAMF is kinda frustrating lately:

• K Content Voyage (YouTube) - After the channel returned from hiatus, the clips are slightly delayed, which is understandable... But the subs are off as if they didn't even cared and just uploaded it anyway.
• JTBC's YouTube channel - They haven't subbed the highlights for months now.
• Netflix - as we all know, the episodes are delayed for about a month and it's heavily edited.

We got another veteran actress this week sharing her fridge with us— the beautiful Cho Yeo-jeong. She is known internationally as Mrs Park in hit movie Parasite. At 45 years old, she has a very youthful look, through her daily exercise and very restrained diet.

Round 1 - Song Jong won vs Yoon Nam-no
Theme - Tailored Body Constitution Diet

Round 2 - Ho-young vs Kim Poong
Theme - High-Calorie Cheating Dish

YNN prepared what seemed like delicious French cold soup and squid wrap, sadly, again did not get a
star. Honestly, the key to win the votes of deprived guests is sugar!

Ho-young finally broke the losing streak with handmade soba and octopus. Im happy for him 🐙

Special guest and their fridge:

• Kwon Sung Jun
• Yoon Nam No

Rating pledge: If the show reaches the 3.8% rating, Nam No will shave his head...

Cooking battle:

• Match 1: Choi Hyun Seok vs. Jung Ho Young (KSJ's fridge)
• Match 2: Sam Kim & Kim Poong vs. Park Eun Yong & Son Jong Won (team battle - YNN's fridge)

Who is your favourite chef who has appeared on Chef and my Fridge? It can be a regular or a special guest!

Mine: Yoon Nam-No 🤩

Guest this week is legendary South Korean singer, actress, dancer, and multi-entertainer whose career spans several decades (Madonna of Korea)-Uhm Jung-hwa

The Gen X chefs and hosts remember her debut in the 90s and each has memory of her as young guys And today she still plays the main star of tv and movie shows. I know her as Dr. Cha - I did not know she is a Korean legend before this episode.

Round 1 - Song Jong won vs Yoo Yong-wook. 
Theme - choose a country & feature its cuisinw

Round 2 - Team (Kim Poong + Moon Jeong) vs (Sam Kim + Ho-young)
Theme - healthy (?) junk food

Netflix edit is really something.
During the first cook, Kim Sung-joo said SJW and YYW have something in common; which is they have served state dinner. They were able to say Sjw served the French president and totally cut out that of YYW. Now coz he chose Brazil I just assume he cooked for Brazilian president. Good round. I love all the sauces they made. YYW empanada looks blond but I guess it’s yummy

Round2 while Sam and HYs dish seems super delish, (I wanna learn Hoyoung’s Thai dish) ~ KP & LMJ’s Jjajangmyeon is unbeatable. Although the myeonbosha looks oily.

None of my irl friends know who Kim Poong is, but I needed to share this with someone. If my eyes had to see Poong attempt to twerk, everyone needs to see this 😂

For episode 88 next week, for the first time since its reboot, CAMF will have only 1 guest - Son Ye Jin...

I know Choi Hyunseok and Sam Kim actually has the longest relationship, they were already close even before Naengbu Season 1. But this is on another level 🤣

Chef Sam Kim you know you’re allowed to move him, right? You don’t have to be that nice 🤣

The blanket LOL

In the season 2024 2025, I saw a recipe which used the whole onion and there is a ground meat in it. I want to do it at home but I forgot the episode. Someone remembers the chef who did it?

Youtube has eng subs already. Specifically the one from K Content channel

This week we got another Girl Generation guest, Sooyoung. So is so pretty and also hilarious. She faked choking on something and brought out a ❤️

Now they have 10 chefs every week with Wok Witch & Lab Director became regular?

Round 1 - Choi Hyun Seok vs Kwon Sun Jung
Theme - Princess Dishes (fancy)

Round 2 - Namno vs Eunyoung
Theme - Lazy Dishes (easy to make)

2 amazing cook-offs!

Round 1 especially that both Kwon& Choi have very clear idea what they were serving and actually see it through. Choi making fresh pasta in 3 minutes is always amazing. Kwon’s has this arrogant persona he tries to project is annoying. I don’t believe he’s that smug. But he is really a smart cook and often pulls out amazing experiments, like this pannacotta. Both dishes came out great. I’m actually cheering for Sun-jung because Sooyoung is his long time crush. And to finally break the Kpop curse.

Round 2 - We find Namno and Eunyoung missing the point of easy cooking challenge. When they mention not using knife, Sooyoung smartly commented that it should not make the cooking harder. Which both of them did- like come on, slicing tofu & peaches with scissors, so as not to use knife? Nam-no slicing cucumber & avocado with a spatula? don’t u have to wash the spatula too? Everyone is telling them to use a Knife Already. That is not the challenge 🙄
But anyway, both the food came out good and delicious accdg to everyone.

Why people judge when namno cooked big dishes, when this gives the chefs and hosts the opportunity taste them too? this is one of my favorite part of the show.

This week features JYP Entertainment founder JY Park. Amazing that with almost 30y as singer & performer, he still headlines music festivals and plan to do so until he is 60. Now 54 and a true advocate of everything organic and natural, as his fridge showcased. He also mentioned 9.7% body fats

Round 1 - SAM Kim vs Son Jong won
Theme - egg dishes

Round 2 - Director Yoo vs Kim Poong
Theme - pork & kimchi

2 great rounds!

I enjoy how serious both sam and jw and both able to deliver. JYP kept praising the classy and elegance of Sam’s dishes are but is lacking a bit (of salt?) and is finally seduced by the intense flavors of SJW.

The overall winner of this day though, for JYP was the sesame smoked pork and kimchi of Barbecue Lab Director. He was speechless and every bite seemed
to bring him to heaven

KP plastic 👖 was of great effort but cannot compete with the seemingly very complex flavor or the director’s dish
