The Backpacker Chef
“With These Backpacks, We Can Cook Anywhere!”
Extreme cooking in extreme places! Open the backpacks and it's our kitchen! The location and the guests are strictly confidential?! The only thing you can trust in the chaos is the backpacks. What's the special business trip dish that starts with four different bags? Starting with the irreplaceable "K-food industry's big hand" Baek Jong-won. Oh Dae-hwan, who transformed from Chungmuro scene stealer to 'National Cook Stealer'. Ahn Bo-hyun, the "Visual Main Store" that occupies not only the screen but also the kitchen. "A spoon of fun powder, please~" "Human MSG" DinDin, too!
