Mission Failed Behind Production

This intrigued me after "Backpacker Chef". Conquering two countries where Korean cuisine has yet been fully recognized may be harder than a catering service. But not for Paik Jongwon. (EXCEPT IT'S A LIE but we'll get there right ahead.)

I may note down my positives later on...so let us get through the negatives.

Since I have gotten spoiled to the travelling cooking show format in Backpacker Chef, seeing the same restaurant could get old.

My major criticism is the production crew's lack of research and preparation. And it sterns down on these statements I have.

Previously I misjudged Morocco for their sudden rudeness of closing it down with its statement being too r**ist, but now I know why: they're too afraid to try different cuisines without getting their safety halal policy beliefs in Muslim.

It does not stop there...

When they first open Baekbanjip at Italy on Monday, almost no one came by until several minutes later. Though believe me, it gets worse on Sunday....

Production crew behind the show should have done full research of the country before preparing a business or travel. They probably kind of ruined Paik Jongwon's name afterwards...

Do watch this one if you want, but not for long....
