In the 383rd episode of MBC's entertainment program 'The Manager' (hereafter referred to as 'The Manager'), the daily life of 'Barbecue Research Institute Director' Yoo Yong-wook, who gained attention for his unique smoking techniques on Netflix's 'Black and White Chef 2', will be revealed for the first time on air.
The secret to the taste of 'Yoo Yong-wook Barbecue', which is so famous that corporate leaders line up to wait, and the intense life of a research institute director will be broadcast.
Yoo Yong-wook breaks the stereotype that "chefs do not cook at home" and takes over the kitchen from the morning. He prepares a heartfelt barbecue meal for his wife and two children, showcasing his extraordinary love for family. His passion for cooking, which once led him to have a dedicated meat refrigerator at home, is expected to capture the viewers' attention.
His appearance as a 'research institute director' is even more intense. He constantly repeats tests to impart the optimal smoking flavor to all ingredients, including meat, vegetables, lemons, and even butter and bread. His obsessive and serious attitude towards barbecue surprised even the studio cast.
In particular, the highlight of this broadcast is Yoo Yong-wook's 'unprecedented employee welfare'. To celebrate the New Year, he presents gifts worth a total of 10 million won to his employees and shows his generosity by gifting expensive luxury bags to long-term employees. Additionally, the level of welfare, including staff meals generously filled with sea urchin roe, has reportedly made the cast eager to apply for jobs.
Moreover, the unexpected situation that arose when the meat was not cooked during the team competition in 'Black and White Chef 2' and the miraculous behind-the-scenes story of how it was resolved will also be revealed. Yoo Yong-wook's special daily life, which is serious about barbecue, can be seen on MBC's 'The Manager' on the 31st at 11:10 PM.
