What is this trend
What’s your favorite cooking battle show? Is it MasterChef, Hell’s Kitchen, or even Culinary Class War?
One thing that makes those shows addictive is how we are constantly picking our side and putting our bet on who’s gonna be the top cook this time.
If you missed those thrilling feelings of cooking shows, this creator brings it for you in a nugget-sized cooking competition.
Danny Kim is a creator who focuses on the cooking niche. Since he is Korean, he often shows the Korean way of cooking and dishes. But it would be too boring, right?
So, he brings in a contender.

In this video, he brings in a French cook and ultimately turns his kitchen into a battleground.
