In the world of Korean cuisine, he was once a maverick genius, famous for his unconstrained creativity and avant-garde cooking techniques. However, a bizarre car accident completely changed the fate of top chef Choi Hyun Suk.
When he woke up from a coma, he found himself in the Joseon Dynasty hundreds of years ago. In this ancient world without modern tools and abundant ingredients, the cuisine he was once proud of lost its usefulness. In order to survive, he integrated modern "standardization" and "efficiency" concepts into ancient cooking. Starting from a street vendor, he used an unprecedented "fast food" model to set off a gastronomic storm in the ancient world, and gradually built a huge fast food empire.
During this absurd and challenging journey, he re-examined the essence of cooking and understood the cooking philosophy of "Tao to Simplicity". When he finally found a way to return to modern times, he found that three years had passed and everything had changed.
Faced with his life and career being wiped out, Choi Hyun Suk was not discouraged. He integrates the wisdom of his travels to North Korea into modern cuisine and uses the most advanced tools to interpret the purest taste. This time, he is no longer the chef who only pursues creativity. Instead, he declares to the world with stunning feasts that the king has returned.
