Black and White Chef 2: Hu Deok-juk's nationality? Restaurant, Chinese, age, Choi Yu-gang

Black and White Chef 2: The Hot Topic: Chef Huduk We've compiled everything from his nationality, Chinese background, age, history at Palsun and Hobin restaurants, to the controversy surrounding Chef Choi Yu-gang's revelations.

1. Why are people so curious about Hudukjuk's nationality?

When you search for Chef Hudukjuk, the first word that comes up is ' It's 'nationality'.

 

I have been active in Korea for a very long time,
He was a central figure in Korean hotel Chinese cuisine.
The question “Aren’t you Korean?” naturally arises.

 

To summarize, it is like this.

Chef Hudukjuk was born in Sogong-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul.

 

Korean-born Chinese

Nationality: Republic of China (Taiwan)

There are also frequent stories of people being from mainland China,
This is far from the truth
It would be most accurate to view him as a chef born in Korea who created the history of Korean Chinese cuisine.

2. Hudukjuk is a Chinese? What does this mean?

The word 'Chinese' is used a bit sensitively these days.

 

In the case of Chef Hudukjuk,
I come from a traditional Chinese family that has lived in Korea since before the establishment of diplomatic relations between Korea and China in 1992.

The important point is this.

Educated in Korea

Building a career within the Korean hotel system

The person who set the standard for Korean Chinese cuisine

It is difficult to simply group them as “foreign chefs”.
This person is deeply connected to the history of Korean Chinese cuisine.

3. The chef who made Palseon a legend, Hu Deok Juk

When talking about Chef Hudukjuk

You can't leave out Shilla Hotel Palseon.

Ranked as the best Chinese restaurant in Korea just three years after opening

“Chinese state guests evaluated it as more delicious than mainland China” The story
It is still talked about in the Chinese food industry to this day.

4. The meaning of the phrase "older generation than Yeo Gyeong-rae and Lee Yeon-bok"

When it comes to popular Chinese chefs,
Yeo Gyeong-rae and Lee Yeon-bok come to mind first.

But in the industry
I see Chef Hudukjuk as an adult one generation older than me.

 

Chef Yeo Kyung-rae's younger brother
Chef Yeo Kyung-ok, who led Lotte Hotel Dorim, is a disciple of Hudukjuk.

A person who naturally becomes the center when chefs gather together

It's just that I didn't appear on TV often,
It's more of a name that chefs use to respect chefs.

5. Where is the current Hudukjuk restaurant?

Currently, Chef Hudukjuk is

 

Hobin
I am currently working as an executive chef.

6. Hudukjuk's age, and the top 7 in Black and White Chef 2

 

Chef Hudukjuk is currently known to be in his mid-70s.
nevertheless In Black and White Chef Season 2 I made it to the top 3.

 

A particularly impressive scene was
It was a word from Ahn Sung-jae.

“It was so so delicious”

In that it is an evaluation that looks at the essence of taste rather than technique,
It felt more weighty.

 

7. Chef Choi Yu-gang's revelation: What is his relationship with Hudukjuk?

 

The issue that has been mentioned recently is
There is controversy surrounding Chef Choi Yu-gang's revelations.

Based on my experience working at Shilla Hotel Palseon

The Chinese-centric kitchen culture and exclusionary structure are being questioned.

 

Claims based on personal experience

The important point is,

This revelation is not directed at any specific individual (Hu Deok-juk).

A story that is close to raising structural issues

 

So when we look at this issue
We need to distinguish between personal claims and confirmed facts.
