Kang Leo, whose controversial career history finally cleared up recently after world-famous chef Pierre Koffmann acknowledged him as a student, had previously been in hot water for dissing Choi Hyun-seok.
After that comment, he got absolutely roasted, and Kang Leo's agency head apparently apologized directly to Choi Hyun-seok. Afterward, Kang Leo gave an interview, and the part about molecular gastronomy seems to back up the reason why molecular cuisine failed on "Black and White Chef" this time—namely, that it wasn't just 'tasteless.'
In Black and White Chef 2, there was a part where one of the 'Silver Spoon' chefs' apprentices came out and was super proud that they were doing the exact same dishes they did at their own restaurant. Since anyone can follow molecular gastronomy recipes if they know them, there's nothing really to be proud of or anything, and because they get stuck there without developing it further, I think the evaluation just can't get better.
"Users are drawing parallels between Kang Leo's past beef and his current critique, while debating whether molecular gastronomy is genuinely limiting or just a flashy technique that flopped hard on reality TV (RIP perilla oil butter)."
