Korea in the 1970s, back when times were tough
Chef Hou De-zhu, a legend of Korean-Chinese cuisine who learned his craft the hard way
Back then, you had to spend the first 1-2 years just prepping veggies like a madman
Suddenly, a senior chef approaches in a fit of rage
An era when hands flew before words
Whoa, why the slap?
'You little sh*t, who told you you could touch my knife?'
'Oh, my bad... I didn't know...'
Even if you cut yourself with the knife,
You had to work while getting absolutely roasted by your seniors in those days
Damn, Chef Hou De-zhu really went through the wringer
And then there's Lim-jjang, who uses Chef Hou's personal knife without a care in the world lol

"The community is debating the 'sanctity' of a chef's tools, with some defending the old-school discipline while others roast the toxic 'gatekeeping' culture of the past."
