The first gateway to becoming the best K-chef.

120 TEAMS 480 CHEFS

WHAT WILL BE THE FIRST DISH TO DETERMINE THE BEST?

WHAT IS YOUR K-FOOD?

THE TEAMS HAVE 120 MINUTES

One single dish.

For that one perfect dish.

The final eight teams to advance to the main competition.

The Table: K-Chef 2026.

THE TABLE: K-CHEF 2026 THE BEGINNING

Welcome, chefs.

You braved the preliminaries to reach the main competition.

And welcome to the judges who will accompany them on the journey.

I am your host for The Table: K-Chef 2026

and a K-food ambassador…

Captain Cook!

The preliminary rounds were more heated than ever.

Which teams would advance to the main competition,

and which teams would drop by the wayside?

The suspense never let up, and I didn't dare avert my eyes.

To the chefs who presented the beautiful dishes,

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you once again.

Many teams were unfortunately eliminated,

while eight lucky teams advanced.

Regardless, their love and passion for K-food are second to none.

Here, we have our eight remaining competitors,

and the audience's interest in them is higher than ever.

What amazing dish will they come up with

in the upcoming rounds of the main competition?

My mouth is already watering, just thinking about it.

Now,

we'll take a closer look at the eight advancing head chefs

in a short while.

Every one of them is skilled and capable,

and I can't wait to see what they'll create.

Shall we get this exciting show officially started then?

THEME & MISSION

The main competition is a completely different format

from the previous preliminary rounds.

Unlike the preliminaries,

the food will be judged by members of the general public.

The three expert judges

won't be the only ones to taste and judge your food.

Members of the public connected to the round's theme

will taste and evaluate your food.

One week before the main competition,

we will provide you with a theme.

The theme for the first main round that happens next week

will be revealed today.

You'll prepare for the round based on that theme.

From the ingredients to recipes,

we'll be looking at how creatively you interpreted the theme

and prepared for it.

On the day of the competition,

you'll receive a specific challenge based on that theme.

As announced, you may bring your own secret sauces, broths, and jang,

but the main ingredients must come from the pantry we set up behind the stage.

Also, the use of monosodium glutamate

is not allowed.

You must feel lost.

That is why

instead of being long-winded, I will announce

the theme for the first round of the main competition.

Here it is!

ROUND 1 ISLAND

THERE IS AN ISLAND BETWEEN PEOPLE I WANT TO GO TO THAT ISLAND

THERE IS AN ISLAND BETWEEN PEOPLE I WANT TO GO TO THAT ISLAND

Long time no see.

JANG OK-SEON OWNER-CHEF OF ONGOJISIM

Yeah.

Six years, is it?

You look well.

Oh, I heard you opened a new restaurant.

-I haven't had a chance to visit. -Don't worry about it.

You've got enough on your plate.

Right.

This looks bad on my part.

We used to be competitors and rivals,

but now I'm the one being judged.

I guess even this misfortune must be fate.

Ok-seon.

Well then…

see you around

Isn't that too vague a theme?

With a theme so abstract, won't it be harder to judge the chefs?

Any team that's made it this far

would have the best knowledge and skills when it comes to cooking.

I think

creativity and understanding of the Korean sentiment

matter more than technique in the main competition.

I'd like you to appreciate our intention

to test the chefs' artistic qualities.

I'm aware that Ms. Seon is an excellent producer.

But this isn't just an entertaining reality show

where ratings are all that matter.

We have to create something no one's ever seen before.

Don't forget that.

Maybe this is

the vision we've been trying to bring to life for so long.

THE KOREAN JANG

ISLAND

JOSHUA YEONG-HO PAYTON OWNER-CHEF OF HUSH

ISABEL DOMINGUEZ HEAD CHEF OF INTEGRAL

Oh, boy.

"Island"?

What else would you get from an island?

All this fish comes from the sea.

Right. I was curious, that's all.

I was wondering if there was a special ingredient from an island.

Well, nothing really comes to mind.

Unless you mean fermented skate from Heuksando.

POETS OF OUR TIME

"A symphony of light and shadows."

"The life of a human being

is a long journey that spans the whole spectrum."

"Light symbolizes freedom and hope,

and shadows are by-products of the effort that comes from withstanding that."

"Solitude, fear,

despair, anxiety."

"Humans take ownership of their lives by making decisions

while enduring the eternal punishment of paying the price."

"They try to form a meaningful relationship with others,

but love and understanding aren't the only things that are made."

"Communication always comes with self-denial and doubt

so we're individuals in a crowd that must accept the bad with the good."

THERE IS AN ISLAND BETWEEN PEOPLE I WANT TO GO TO THAT ISLAND

What could that island be?

Do they want us to make something with an ingredient

from a specific island?

Something strange or unique, that's hard to find?

That's exactly it.

You must create the ultimate dish with marine algae

that grows on the southernmost island of Marado, Korea.

No, no.

There's no way it's that simple of a mission.

Could it be

that they want us to plate it up in a way that evokes an island?

Correct!

You put together a plate that looks most like an island.

You are the winner!

No.

It must be something hard to imagine.

Something most people wouldn't think of.

That's what it must be.

Could it be…

At last, you've figured it out.

That's right.

The island is just a metaphor.

It's a figure of speech.

So that's what it is?

Wait.

What does "there's an island between people" mean?

Islands exist in the ocean, not between people.

Excuse me.

The VIP's main course is ready.

What?

Huh?

The VIP's main course is ready, Chef.

Okay. Good.

Shall I serve them?

No. I'll serve them myself.

THE STRONGEST HOPE IS BORN FROM THE GREATEST DESPAIR!

THE ISLANDS OF KOREA

Chris.

Were you here all night?

Why didn't you sleep at all?

I took it too lightly.

I never imagined it would be like this.

This is just the first main round. I didn't think it would be this tough.

This is tough.

WANTING TO GO TO AN ISLAND?

"Island."

Island.

"There's an island between people."

"I want to go to that island."

There's an island.

I want to go toward that island.

Why?

Chris.

When did you leave Korea? What grade were you in?

I was in third grade.

I left after finishing third grade.

You left young.

I bet it threw you off when they gave us a Korean poem as the mission.

But I don't know the poem that well either.

I'm pretty sure it was the same for the other chefs.

There must be a reason they chose that poem.

Ingredients from an island.

It can't be that easy.

It has to be a metaphor.

Let's go outside.

Let's go outside and take a stroll.

We can go to a park.

A park?

Yes.

Let's go to a big, open space and get some fresh air.

Let's slack off.

What I mean is

we can relax for a few hours and goof off.

I'll get changed.

"Slack off"?

"Goof off"?

They look nice and fresh.

Did you gather them yourself from nearby?

Yes, of course.

My husband went out

early this morning and caught them all by hand.

What do you think? Aren't the colors so pretty?

They are.

They look delicious.

Why don't you buy some then?

Just 3,000 won for a bag.

Gosh.

That's so cheap.

Or shall I boil some for you right now?

CHEF CHA

Where did you go?

I heard you took off somewhere after dinner service last night.

I just thought

maybe the sea breeze

would give me an idea.

Though of course, you wouldn't have made it that easy.

The thing is, though…

Aren't we all…

an island of sorts?

An island

doesn't have to be

floating in the middle of the sea.

What if someone wants to go to an island,

but they're unable to?

You can still help them get there, right?

Chris Krantz…

Werst…

What a tongue-twister of a name.

The bottom line is, people call him Chris K.

His dad is German-American, and his mom died when he was young.

When was he adopted then? When did he leave Korea?

His file says his American father adopted him when he was 14.

Where was he before that?

That's what I can't figure out.

There's no record of him going to school until eighth grade,

no registered addresses, and no family on file either.

What on earth does that mean?

Did he come from outer space or something?

I'll look into that too.

Even his colleagues say they know nothing about Chris K.'s past.

His American father.

We're trying to locate his American father.

His American father?

But even that's proving difficult.

There's talk that he moved from the US to Germany…

Why is it so hard to find out about one man?

Is this the best Pyeongyeon Group can do?

I apologize.

Call our German office and get them to look into the adoptive dad.

Not just about him, but his whole family.

Tell them to find out whatever they can.

Yes, ma'am.

Then again,

it doesn't matter what he used to be like in the past.

What matters is how skilled he is now.

That's what I need to know.

What else?

His connection to Famiglia. That's extremely important.

It's hot!

Help! I need help!

"Was it in a furnace? Why is it so hot?"

-Yes! -It's hot coffee…

Are you all right?

Wait. Why does it taste wrong?

There's no aroma and it's too acidic.

Are you sure it's from Guatemala? Who brewed the coffee today?

Jeong took today off.

I'll instruct his temporary replacement.

Darn it!

-Are you okay? -I don't know!

It's still hot.

Ms. Baek.

What?

There's one thing that bothers me.

What is it?

Here.

In one of the competitions mentioned here,

a restaurant Chris K. worked at

and Cha Woo-jin's restaurant went head-to-head.

Really?

Where? Where does it say that?

Here. It was held in Belgium.

It was a competition in Belgium.

WINNING TEAM AURELIA & HEAD CHEF JULIAN HAYES

What?

Cha Woo-jin came second?

Yes.

Hold on.

You said Chris K. worked at this restaurant.

His name isn't on here.

Come on,

I explained that earlier.

Chris K. has an unusual tendency to work only as a sous-chef.

The sous-chef of the restaurant that won this competition

was Chris K.

And the winning dish was his creation.

So effectively,

he was the head chef.

What?

The one and only competition

that Cha Woo-jin failed to win.

This is it.

Things are going to get

a little more complicated than I thought.

Famiglia…

A guy like that joined Famiglia,

and he wants to take us on and beat us.

No, he's saying he can beat us.

How interesting.

This is interesting.

Sorry about that.

I must've dozed off.

Don't worry.

You were so fast asleep, I couldn't wake you up.

I'm glad you got at least some good sleep.

Did I snore?

Yes.

You snored so loud and long.

You must've been really tired.

I must've slept well.

There are way more people than before.

Yes. It's lunchtime.

Yeouido is like this.

There are lots of offices here.

The streets are usually very quiet,

but they come out in force when it's lunchtime.

They look like they're in uniforms.

Wall Street is a lot like this.

Come to think of it,

this place is an island too, isn't it?

-What? -Yeouido.

It's a district sitting in the middle of Hangang River.

It's connected by bridges to either side of the river.

It's not in the middle of an ocean,

but it's still an island floating in the river.

Everyone looks so lonely.

That poem we read, Chris.

Chris.

Chris?

Yes?

The poem. Island.

Right.

The second line says

the person wants to go to the island.

When you think about it,

wanting to go somewhere means they can't actually go.

They want to go, but can't.

Couldn't someone help them get there?

Couldn't someone offer some kind of help?

What if you were that someone, Chris?

THERE IS AN ISLAND BETWEEN PEOPLE I WANT TO GO TO THAT ISLAND

PARENT-CHILD CONVERSATION TIME

WEEKLY AVERAGE: 68 MINUTES OR LESS

CONVERSATION DURING MEALS: 5 MINUTES

According to a 2026 survey by Opinion Now,

Korean families with children over 12 years old

talk to each other for less than 68 minutes per week on average.

Of that, only five minutes

happen at the table during mealtimes.

To increase familial communication, the government recommends

that children be allowed less screen time

and given more incentive to speak with their parents.

However, that only forces surface-level talk

and experts voice their doubt on how effective those measures are.

The Table: K-Chef 2026's solution to improving communication…

is the dining table.

-What? -The dining table?

The dining table?

Cameras eight and nine, focus on Cha Woo-jin and Chris K.

Captain Cook, standby for next comment.

Ready the screen.

Graphics.

In.

SIKGU

Do you know what these characters say?

Yes. It says "sikgu."

What do these characters mean?

They literally mean "mouths that eat together."

It indicates people who gather around to eat together.

Look at the shape of the character on the right.

Doesn't it look like a square table?

It's where we sit, eat,

and gain the energy to get through the day.

We eat food that provides us with energy,

and as members of a community, we exchange a great deal.

We celebrate happy occasions,

and offer condolences in times of sorrow.

When conversation stalls, we take a break and eat good food.

When we run out of things to say,

the food itself can become the topic.

Today, we stress the importance of communication within families.

However, we're at a loss as to how to go about it.

Spend more time together and turn off your phones?

Instead of offering vague strategies,

we'd like to offer a different approach.

By increasing the time spent at the dining table,

we can encourage communication between generations.

That is our strategy.

Bring the family together at the dining table.

Connect the individual islands that make up a family.

That is the mission

for the first round of the main competition.

What?

What did he say?

Do what with the dining table?

Connect people?

What does that mean?

In the pantry behind you

are ingredients that Judge Kim Pil-hyeon personally gathered from coastal rocks,

as well as other ingredients you need.

Choose your ingredients and head to your assigned kitchen.

You have…

three hours!

-Go! -Hurry!

Here, take this.

Come in.

How do you think the first round is going?

Well, so far…

Bad? Not bad? Looking okay?

They have three hours to cook something that fits the mission.

I can't tell what they'll cook.

To be honest, I think it's tough.

-What is? -The mission.

Something about connecting islands.

They invited six families of four as guest judges

to taste the food and then score it.

Is that even an effective way to evaluate food?

I'm not too sure.

We invited ordinary families as guest judges

to see how they react to the food they're served,

how much it gets them talking,

and whether it piques their interest.

The objective judging and criticism will come from the three expert judges.

The two different kinds of scoring methods

should help us decide on a winner.

What?

You already knew all this?

I spoke with Ms. Seon briefly before filming began.

Why'd you ask to see me if you don't need an explanation?

I asked to see you

for something else.

I need your help, Ms. Baek.

The carrots are too thick. Slice them thinner.

Yes, Chef.

Today, we won't judge the dishes on how complete they are.

We'll judge them based on the reactions of our guest judges, the families of four.

How long do you need?

I'll be done in a minute.

Okay.

All right!

Rather than cooking technique,

please focus more on creativity and the interpretation of the mission.

Isn't this doenjang?

I suddenly feel much less enthusiastic.

I mean,

why bring doenjang to cook French and Italian cuisine?

Chris.

What exactly are you going to do with this?

What do you think?

We're going to win in style.

It's the traditional kind of doenjang.

It's too pungent.

I don't think it'll work with Western fine dining.

It's not just any traditional doenjang.

This is priceless stuff.

A bridge that will connect

the islands within a family.

Six families of four,

three main judges.

Nine plates total, with dishes from eight teams.

Each dish gets about three to four minutes.

To get people talking in that short amount of time,

the food itself must become the topic.

Conversation starts with something familiar,

something that brings back memories.

The dish must tell a story to keep them from getting bored.

A flashy drama that will keep them

on the edge of their seats.

The key to any drama is tension.

A balance between familiarity and unfamiliarity.

And the starting point is…

curiosity.

And…

a connection with the audience.

Cha Woo-jin cannot win this competition.

What?

Hold on.

Hold on. What on earth…

What are you saying?

Cha Woo-jin, who represents Pyeongyeon Group,

cannot win the competition?

Then who should?

Of course, Cha Woo-jin is a crucial part of the competition.

We need Korea's biggest celebrity chef to generate buzz.

The longer he lasts in the competition, the better the ratings will be.

Ms. Baek.

I want this competition to be Woo-jin's last as a chef.

As soon as the competition ends,

I plan to legally register him as my son.

-What? -I get it.

Woo-jin did a great deal for us as a chef, and he will continue to do so.

Of course, we've helped him a great deal too.

But he…

means a great deal to me as well.

It's possible that I've been able to last this long

because I had Woo-jin's support.

Ever since we first met,

he's stayed by my side with unwavering loyalty.

How much longer

can I keep working?

I'm tired now.

Once this competition ends in a success,

I plan to resign as CEO of Pyeongyeon F&B.

Before that, I need a succession plan in place.

As you know…

I don't have any children.

If the man I were to adopt and name as my successor

wins our latest cooking competition,

it'll immediately raise questions about the competition's fairness.

It would also be detrimental to how the public views Pyeongyeon.

Seon Jeong-won is great at her job, but she's excessively principled,

almost to a fault.

That's why I need your help.

Do you get what I'm saying?

He can't win.

Cha Woo-jin cannot win.

Because he has to become her successor.

She wants to make the competition a success

and save the company.

She boosts her public image by retiring in style,

while leaving a successor who will do exactly as she wants.

She's either two-faced or has an ulterior motive.

She's the worst viper I've ever seen.

Is something wrong, Ms. Baek?

It's nothing.

All my hard work might just benefit someone else.

You're down to your last minute.

One minute to go.

Chefs, please begin wrapping up.

This is the last announcement.

You have ten seconds left.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Time is up.

Chefs, take your hands off everything and step away from the kitchen tables.

Let me introduce the staff who will serve the dishes in the order

that they were completed!

THE TABLE: K-CHEF 2026

I deliberately tried not to make it too complicated.

Satisfying both the parents and children,

that's what I focused on.

Using the same taste to bridge a 30-year generation gap

is hard.

So I made half the dish for one generation,

and the other half for the next.

My goal was to portray the feel of each generation on the plate.

-The fish… -It's not a taste I recognize.

Is it a soup?

I was born in Peru,

where they eat a lot of freshwater seafood.

I mixed various seafood with seasonings to evoke the feeling of an island.

I used South American cooking techniques,

but the roots of the dish are Korean.

My mother is Korean.

I didn't care too much about seafood.

Instead, I wondered how to get a family to talk

as they enjoyed my food.

That was my focus.

The mission was about family and communication.

Rather than flavor and aroma,

I focused more on texture.

The enjoyment you get from chewing?

Different textures

appeal to everyone.

Children are especially in tune with that.

Since it's the first round,

I first considered what the spirit of Korean cuisine was.

Not of a boring story steeped in tradition,

but the spirit of Korean cuisine…

that we need today.

Yes, the spirit of it.

The essence of Korean cuisine

is a mother's heart.

That's where everything starts.

My daughter…

PARK JE-HYEON OWNER-CHEF OF BINGSAK

…is very ill.

I love her more than anyone in the world.

Out of everything I can cook,

what could my daughter eat that would make her smile happily?

With that in mind…

With that in mind…

With that in mind, I made this dish.

ROUND 1 SCORE CARD

I am confident.

Until the final round,

I'll show you dishes that go beyond

your expectations.

The seventh dish of the day

is by Exception.

Please reveal

your dish.

It's chicken breast filled with a custard-like mixture

made with egg meringue.

The wine-braised chicken breast is tender,

and the custard will have expanded inside.

It provides a simultaneous feast for your eyes and mouth.

I actually got the idea for this

from a famous pastry that you all know.

The snack you all love and enjoy.

Yes, that's right.

I wanted to create something

that looks familiar, but tastes much better.

I slightly reshaped the chicken breast.

I'm not sure how it turned out,

but I shaped it to resemble an island off the west coast.

It's where I grew up as a child.

The custard inside the chicken breast consists of 12 ingredients.

I tried to make sure

each ingredient comes through distinctly,

so I'd like the families

to try and guess what they are.

I hope this serves as a fun experience.

This is insane.

This is unbearable to watch.

It's almost dinnertime and nothing I eat will satisfy me now.

Ms. Seon, it's our first team dinner. Be prepared to treat us well.

It's nice and light.

It's time for the last dish.

Today's final dish

is from Famiglia.

Dear judges, who tasted all the chefs' amazing dishes.

It's time for you to taste the final dish of the first round.

The dish prepared for you by Famiglia.

Please reveal the dish!

Oh, my gosh.

Doenjang and rice.

Abalone and finely chopped miyeokgwi.

Doenjang is a well-known Korean ingredient.

It's close to yet distant from our hearts.

Older generations are used to the pungent smell,

but younger generations,

despite knowing that doenjang is good for them,

don't like it much because of the smell.

It's considered good and right, but old.

It's a lot like our parents' teachings.

The doenjang I used isn't commercially produced.

It's made by an old lady in Gangjin.

She adds a little rice bran while the meju is fermenting.

That way, the doenjang retains the deep flavor

but loses a bit of the smell while intensifying the flavor.

I used this doenjang

with various vegetables to make gangdoenjang.

And I incorporated that into an Italian dish.

The doenjang helps the older generation appreciate an unfamiliar recipe,

while the curious younger generation will notice the unique taste and smell.

I hoped that would get them talking.

Because curiosity

is the first step

to getting closer.

Please take a closer look at the dish.

The ravioli is connected by barely visible threads.

They represent my wish.

We may forget in our busy everyday lives,

but each one of us

is connected by an invisible thread.

A thread called longing.

I wanted to remind you of the importance of it.

Chefs tend to use Japanese white miso in Western cuisine.

But the flavor and aroma of our traditional doenjang

is deeper and richer than anything comparable.

If its distinct smell makes it incompatible with Western cuisine,

then it's up to chefs like me

to help the two communicate.

Isn't that another way to connect

isolated islands

that want to get closer?

Do you know how much deeper and richer

our traditional doenjang is compared to white miso?

Saying the strong smell

makes it incompatible with Western cuisine is an excuse.

What chefs like us must do

is help them communicate.

I will now announce the result of the first round.

The first chef to be eliminated is…

What a shame.

It's Isabel Dominguez.

Isabel.

You took a half-and-half approach and served us a dish

where you thought the older generation would like half

and the younger generation would like the other half.

We agreed that though the food was delicious,

it didn't adhere to the mission that was about communication.

It was just a way to satisfy two different generations.

The food was delicious, and it was well-prepared.

The dish itself lacked nothing.

However, I wasn't exactly sure if I would consider it K-food.

Good job.

You did well too.

The aim of The Table: K-Chef 2026

is to crown the best K-chef.

What we want to see

isn't just K-food that's all about technique.

We want to see K-food as a work of art.

It's with a heavy heart that I announce Isabel must leave the competition.

It's a great shame.

However, we believe this experience

will help you become an even better chef.

Isabel.

Is there anything you'd like to say before you leave the stage?

Hola.

I hated my mom when I was young.

She was the typical strict Korean mom.

I hated that, so we fought a lot.

I wanted to hang out with my friends,

listen to music, and dance.

Then one day, I ran away from home.

I left my countryside home and went to Lima, the big city.

I found work easily

and I…

I got into city life without much of a struggle.

But the good times didn't last.

I was conned out of all my savings…

and those I trusted betrayed me.

I lost my job and got evicted too.

I spent months like a beggar with no work or home.

One day, I was sitting on the curb, too hungry and weak to stand.

I must've looked like an actual beggar.

Someone handed me a bill.

It was enough to buy a hot meal.

That's when I noticed the sign of a Korean restaurant.

I went in without hesitation and ordered a kimchi jjigae.

I ate a spoonful as soon as I got the food.

Tears started to flow.

I felt my mom in the food.

The kimchi jjigae that my mom used to make for me.

To me, that was my mom

and my country Korea.

I'm a massive BTS fan.

I heard they'd open a restaurant in Seoul for the winner.

I really wanted BTS to try my food.

The winner of the first main round

is Famiglia!

Oh my gosh!

Well done.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Yeah!

Where's the appetizer for Table Five?

It's almost done, Chef! One more minute!

Okay. What about the salad?

It's almost done, Chef.

-Let's pick up the pace a bit. -Yes, Chef.

Is the mushroom risotto for Table Six ready yet?

It's done. I just need to slice the button mushrooms.

Okay.

Wait.

Okay. Go.

Thank you for waiting.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

-You're welcome. -Excuse me?

We ordered two sodas and we're still waiting.

-We've been waiting for ten minutes too. -Okay.

Oh, my goodness.

-Can you get us a dry cloth? -Oh dear.

-Are you okay? Oh no. -Yes.

Are you okay?

-Can you get us more napkins? -Yes.

Just a moment, please.

Excuse me.

-We ordered a steak ages ago. -Hello?

When can we get a menu to look at?

We sat down over 20 minutes ago.

-Can we get more pickles? -Yes.

-I need another spoon. -Okay.

When can we get our wine?

-Yes, just a moment. -How much longer must we wait?

We need more water.

-I'm sorry. -We've been waiting forever.

Do you know

what you've done?

Get it.

Get it, at whatever cost.

Do whatever it takes to get it.

Or else…

I won't let you get away with this.

Yes, Chef.

I'll go and get it.

I'll get it somehow.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

Because in the end, you'll lose to me again anyway.

Just like you did seven years ago.

Chris K.

The kitchen's all cleaned up.

Gosh…
