The Game of Life

Chapter 826 - 826 825

?Chapter 826: 825 Chapter 826: 825 The China-America King of Chefs competition is undoubtedly a very professional culinary reality show, so professional that even the semi-finals required a rehearsal in advance. Four days after Jiang Feng and the others were notified to check the competition venue and finances, the production crew notified them again to rehearse on site.

At the same time, the date of the semi-finals was also set, December 8th, a day that sounded very auspicious. The competition duration was also very long, a full twelve hours, which meant the contestants could make any dish they wanted, whether it was simmering stock or freezing the ingredients before cooking. There were no drawbacks except that the length might be too torturous for the judges and staff.

It’s worth mentioning that unlike other variety shows, the semi-finals and finals didn’t have an audience, since a cooking competition doesn’t require audience votes or feedback and applause. Too many people and too much noise on site might affect the chefs’ state of mind during the competition, as some chefs need a relatively quiet environment to calm down and create their dishes.

All the contestants and judges would attend the rehearsal before the competition, which was the last chance for everyone to get to know and familiarize themselves with their opponents before the race. Before that, Jiang Feng had spent three hours boning up on information about his opponents, only to realize that there were, in fact, connections between the four restaurants that had advanced to the semi-finals.

The relationship between Taifeng Building and Top Floor Restaurant goes without saying; to describe them as lifelong enemies would be no exaggeration. If Beiping chefs were asked which two restaurant owners were most likely to come to blows, their first reaction would definitely be Top Floor Restaurant and Taifeng Building, and then Top Floor Restaurant and Eight-treasure House.

The two restaurants that advanced from the American competition region were Peng Changping’s own restaurant, Chinese Food Restaurant, that is, a Chinese restaurant. The contestants were Peng Changping’s penultimate apprentice, Zhou Shi’s senior, Peng Changping’s son-in-law, and two of his apprentices. In a sense, they were all familiar faces to Jiang Feng, even though they had never met.

As for New York Light, there’s no need to say more. It was Chef Arno’s former employer, which had not made any personnel changes after Chef Arno’s departure. The four competing chefs were all former underlings of Chef Arno, having served in that position for many years. They were the kind of loyal underlings who would shake if Chef Arno sneezed and might accidentally use the wrong seasoning if Chef Arno said “shit.”

The lineup of judges was also quite impressive, Xu Cheng, Peng Changping, and two well-known American food critics.
