Chef Fabri mentioned the difficulties he faced.
On the 7th, a press conference for JTBC's entertainment program ‘Street Food Business’ was held at the Stanford Seoul Hotel in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Attendees included Ryu Soo-young, Fabri, Hwang Kwang-hee, Shin Hyun-ji, Bae In-hyuk, CP Kim Min-seok, and PD Kim So-young. Cast member Jeon So-mi could not attend due to scheduling conflicts.
‘Street Food Business’ is a program that captures Ryu Soo-young and Fabri as they travel through Spain, the land of gastronomy, starting a street food business. They challenge themselves to introduce Korean cuisine by riding a mobile kitchen, the ‘Food Bike’, from the southernmost part of Spain, where there are no Korean restaurants.
Michelin chef Fabri is also working to promote Korean cuisine in Spain.
Fabri expressed his affection, saying, “To persuade customers, I said, ‘This is really a life experience.’ It was a life experience for me as well. This was my first time having such an experience. It was so much fun. It was tough, but rewarding. I hope you enjoy watching it. It’s really fun.”
He continued, “Every time I have to introduce Korean cuisine to someone who doesn’t know it, I try to provide a dish that mixes what they know with Korean food. It can be called fusion, and I introduced Korean cuisine alongside representative dishes from Cadiz. I don’t know if it was successful, but I tried.”
He added, “As a chef, I’m used to running a business, so there weren’t many difficulties, but that day was a bit tough. It was a day when only the two of us were working.”
In response, CP Kim said, “I was watching the movie ‘Victory’ recently, and ‘Street Food Business’ came to mind. It’s like surpassing the master there. There was a day when the young chefs and I split up to run the business, and it was neck and neck. Both did really well.”
‘Street Food Business’ will premiere on the 8th at 10:40 PM.
