On the Menu | After Culinary Class Wars, Netflix’s Chef and My Fridge is my latest television obsession
The long-running South Korean cooking competition show that gives new life to old ingredients has received a reboot, and gained a new fan
Forget “what’s in my handbag” content – I’m all about the “what’s in my fridge” category that gives us an insight into the culinary habits of the rich and famous.
That’s the premise of the Korean cooking show Chef and My Fridge – or, as it’s charmingly known in its home country, Please Take Care of My Refrigerator – which has received a timely reboot on Netflix after going off air in 2019.
As host Kim Seong-joo declares, it’s “a makeover project for your most unhinged leftovers!”
This is a far more lighthearted show than Culinary Class Wars, with little on the line but much in the way of banter from the show hosts and fellow chefs competing.
