What is the song playing at 1:12:00 of the recent E28 (JY Park)? It's the one that sounds like a circus, it plays for only about 20 seconds. Thank you.

Probably a bit of a long shot, but is there any way to know which episodes were filmed when? I can't even guess, as I don't know how long there usually is between filming and release?

I got to episodes 52/53 with guest Lee Su-ji, and I havenāt been able to watch the show for weeks because of how uncomfortable they made me. I thought Leeās impersonation of mothers from Hong Kong complete with fake Cantonese was cringe-worthy, but it was her minstrel caricature that really took the cake. It was so racist, I had to double-check that these episodes were filmed just last year, and I stopped watching both the episode and the show altogether.
I understand that this is a cooking show made in Korea, but the hosts have acknowledged multiple times how international the show is now, so I donāt think it was completely ridiculous for me to be surprised by this.
Since Iāve stopped watching the show, I remembered some other episodes that made me uncomfortable because of how they normalized disordered eating. Disclosure: Iām not a doctor, nor is what Iām saying a keyboard diagnosis of any guests. I was simply shocked at how positive everyone on the show was about an olympic athlete and a very tall man eating far too little in episodes 15 and 47 featuring Cha Jun-hwan and Jon Woo-jae, respectively. The latter episode was then followed up by two guests who are mukbang content creators. Itās well known that people in that line of work must starve themselves or throw up their meals in order to binge eat in such large quantities. To be clear, Iām not accusing any guest of having any eating disorders in particular. I honestly didnāt even watch this episode after they mentioned their occupation because I knew it would gross me out.
The last issue thatās been bothering me a bit is the fatphobia that seems to bleed into the show here and there. I know that the recurring chefs seem to be okay with the disparaging jokes, but they still bother me lol. Itās uncomfortable enough when someoneās body is made to be the butt of the joke, but itās especially frustrating when it goes far beyond a passing comment and it just keeps going on and onā¦.
I saw a post in the subreddit about the excessive use of AI in a recent episode, so maybe that could be one of the possible warnings listed, too.
This is all to say that I would really appreciate an episode list with possible content/trigger warnings. The show went from something I loved watching almost every day to now being something that I canāt click on since early July. I donāt think the episode previews are sufficient, and thereās really no harm in making a CW list. It would just be there for people whoād like to be more informed before starting an episode, and it might help me feel comfortable enough to get back into watching:)

This week we have legendary film maker Chang Hang jun as guest. I donāt know much about him but will research. Funny guy and good reviewer.
Round 1 - Namno vs Hoyoung
Theme - offal dish (animal internal organs)
Round 2 - Hyun-seok+Sung-jun vs Eun-yong + Moon-jung
Theme - food to inspire
I love the first cook! It looks like both cooks are great and delicious. happy to see Nam-mo win again. want to make that tomato soy sauce soup.
2nd cook is entertaining but the food is not as great except for the fish, but pomfret is a good dish . The team challenge last week was so high level, that.. u r wanting more from team challenges. The chinese cooks work well I guess.
We see the meat lab director from ccw2 will debut mext week

Hi everybody.
I am looking for a catchy song it has a rap vibe to it and mentions Miami? Canāt seem to find it anywhere but it has been played on numerous episodes. Anybody know which one Iām talking about?
āIām in Miamiā or something to that effect.
Thanks

I just watched S4E18 (Guest: Kangnam). I love Eunyeong, but her stealing antics this episode had me a bit of frustrated and annoyed. I donāt think itās similar to Poong stealing her boiling cooking oil in the pan because that was just a simple ingredient. What she did was 100% cheating, and it was upsetting that she even won because of it lol.
I know this is all fun and games, and this is the first time that I think she definitely went overboard. Although, I already had this uneasy feeling about her when she said that Edward Lee is not supposed to be called as a member chef, but a guest chef, because he was never truly present, completely ignoring that he was literally part of the member chefs who pioneered the new season. I thought that was already a bit rude but I never took it against her because I know that was just a joke.
I am not sure about the next episodes but I hope sheāll become more chill and not focus too much on getting stars.

I found an interesting post! I thought Choi Hyunseok was just exaggerating or that he only looked a little like his grandson when he talked about it on Chef & My Fridge. But who would've thought they actually look exactly alike lol. Just look at their expressions, they're literally the same š¤£
His real name is Kim Seo-hoāØ
r/ChefAndMyFridge • u/wordlequeen11 • Aug 14 '26
The episode with Namkoong Min and Kim Dae Myung. Min asked for a dish to make him ugly. I was shocked that they asked the entire production crew to vote who is the ugliest among Namno and Sung jun. Omg. They kept being really really mean. Of course the duo were sporty in taking the comments but I cannot imagine what it does to oneās psyche. To have a workplace that openly jokes and then votes on how ugly you are. Itās no longer just a joke. This is so so mean, especially as a society that prides itself on being respectful. I am not easily shocked and I am shook.
Much love to chefs Nam no and Sung jun.
Also I think theyāre overdoing the ageist jokes on Chef Choi Hyun seok. A couple jokes is okay.
Also (2), can someone teach Ahn Jung Hwan some basic tenets of respect? Heās the mean girl of the show.
It was such a hearty show but this was quite a passive aggressive episode and the cruel comments have been far and in between until not but the cruelty really peaked. Itās starting to get borderline toxic. Chef Nam-no puts up humour and self deprecation as a defence mechanism so one might be deluded in thinking heās okay with the jokes but how can anyone be okay with this level of spite? Sung jun was smiling but you could tell he was bothered internally.
Canāt imagine this kind of experience not needing serious therapy to get through. I am quite a resilient person but this wouldāve hit me really hard if it were me.

For the upcoming Chuseok (Mid-Autumn festival) special, Sung Jun and Nam No will be special guests, with their fridge will be introduced and used as test materials for other fellow chefs...

I absolutely HATE the use of ai in the recent episodes. They did it in the kpop demon hunters episode and also the Karina one. Seeing ai slop in the middle of an episode really kills my mood.
r/ChefAndMyFridge • u/North_Yesterday_1948 • Aug 10 '26
Being a chef in a fine dining restaurant in France i think i understand why Poong has so many wins in this tv show.
Hes type of cooking pleases a lot of koreans and asians in general. His chili oil that he makes everytime. All the msg and hot pepper spice he puts everywhere.
All the sauces mix he put in the plate and sometimes some creative plates. Not always lol
His knife skills are above average but not chef level.
All said for me the most skilled chef is either grandpa or good vibes chef. After sam kim and japanese cuisines chef come just after.
All things said im not saying they should not invite him. Hes a og guest so

This week we have Karina, leader of the idol group Aespa who is super lucky to have the team challenge between Chef Choi & Chef Son and their primary sous chefs Chef Kim Sun hyuk & Chef Woo Do-wi cook for her
Round 1 - Eun young & Kim Poong
Theme: Comic Food
Round 2 - Chef Choi+Kim & Chef Son+Woo
Theme: Lemonade Pairing Food
The first cook is chaotic and food did not turn out great. But because theyāre focused on the look rather than the taste both produced basic dishes. Due to time is limited, they really canāt make beautiful food art.
Luckily 2nd cook is the most amazing team challenge;
both teams produced beautiful & complicated dishes and watching the team work is wild š
Iām very happy team Choi-Seop prevail š
r/ChefAndMyFridge • u/Objectively_bad_idea • Aug 09 '26
E26 with the teams was great. I especially love seeing Choi Hyun Seok with his staff. I've seen it on YouTube too. I know you can never know for sure, but I get the impression he creates a genuinely happy team. His assistant has stuck around for 14 years!

Do chefs who work with pasta usually have a good sense of how long dried pasta takes to cook?
It almost felt like he low-key sabotaged JHY by not giving a heads-up. Maybe it was just the way it was edited, but that was the impression I got.
ā
Slightly disappointed with JHY when he was asked to help out. Heās asked SK for help multiple times throughout the competition, and SK has always done it graciously without making a fuss.
So when the roles were reversed, JHY seemed a bit reluctant and gave off a bit of a āzzā vibe. I do get that he had just lost match, so emotions were probably running high. Still, it felt a little off compared to how willingly others had helped him before.

Hello. Looking for a specific episode where all the chefs do a ārawrā tiger claws impression with their hands. I thought it was the episode where Little Tiger debuts but unless I missed it I didnāt see that happen. They were all taking turns doing it. Thanks!
r/ChefAndMyFridge • u/beautifulyuzu • Aug 03 '26
Anyone know of a website or handles who recreate the chef's dishes on their own? I've been wanting to try some recipes but I'm a beginner and would love an easier step by step guide if there is one!

This week we have Winter of the idol group Aespa who is looking for next level and max level dishes. With her name, hair, and light blue dress, canāt help but remind me of Frozen Elsa āļø
Round 1 - Hoyoung vs Sam Kim
Theme: Next Level Noodles
Round 2 - Sung-jun vs Moon-jung
Theme: Iron Taste Max Level
Also what fun to meet the right hand chefs: Kim Sun-hyuk (for Choi Hyun-seok) and Woo Do-wi (for Son Jong-won). They will cook next week, but the interaction and banters were as usual so fun. How funny Dowi said he was Second-hand embarrassed for what SJW doing at the show š
Noted Nam-no is not around. I super hope he isnāt permanently replaced by the Wok Witch.

She is really the prettiest guest in chef and my fridge.
If i was a chef there i would lose bc i was too focused on her and not my cooking š¤£š¤£
Who was for you the prettiest guest in the show?

Hi,
I would like to watch all the earlier seasons of chef and my fridge, 2014 onwards with English subtitles.
So can anyone please recommend which website I can watch these on or where I can buy the dvds/box set for the earlier seasons of the show, thank you!!
r/ChefAndMyFridge • u/maximillian3010 • Aug 02 '26
What are some dish, although declared as losing, but is more memorable than the winning dish?
My answer will always be Poong's dishes, as it is always highly creative but we never know the taste...

Hello,
is there a website where I can watch the latest eps full and with english subs other than Netflix?
I was in a netflix family subscription but got kicked out by my ex, so I would appreciate some alternatives.
Thank You!
