two rival chefs competing to become the #1 chef in all of Korea. The movie is based off a popular Korean comic. In “Le Grand Chef” Seong-chan (Kang-woo Kim) and Bong-ju (Won-hee Lim) are finalists in a competition to ordain a national Korean chef. The two competitors are no strangers to each other and have a long history of rivalry. They both started their culinary careers at the same cooking school and they competed five years earlier to work as the head chef at a world-class hotel in Korea. During their first competition Seong-chan seemed likely to win the competition, but a blowfish plate that he made was mysteriously tainted with poison (guess who sabotaged the plate?). source: http://lunapark6.com/le-grand-chef.html
