The flight was long but not hard.

This is because Made Fur Films spent money to reserve business seats.

One day, when I didn't usually spend money on such things, I rode a business for the first time in my life and learned the importance of money during the flight from Gimpo to LA.

I realized for the first time that a plane was such a comfortable place.

At 2 p.m., LA Airport was crowded and bursting.

Wherever I looked around, there was a constant line of people. I could easily find all races around the world.

Where people mix with people. That's what a day thinks of LA.

"Wow……"

You like it that much? People will think it's their first time here. Dude.

Haru, who came out of the departure hall, opened his mouth wide.

There was definitely a different smell of America from Korea.

Choi Han-seok, who floated in the air, smiled with the eyes of his immature son.

For your information, he came sitting in the first class seat. No one said anything because it was a ghost.What should I say?

"It's my second time in America. Before I debuted as a chef, I came here to study.”

How long have you been here?

"I came here with a part-time job and a collection of money from the military, so I couldn't stay long. I'll save it for about a month. But it helped me a lot. I went to a restaurant and worked without pay."

Whoa, that's like a day.

I can't believe you're paying a lot of money to come all the way to America.

If someone else hears it, you may wonder what crazy sound this is, but I think these things gathered one by one to create a person named Haru.

The will to burn one's time without caring about the money that the world considers important, and with the passion of cooking alone.

That was also the biggest advantage of the day that Choi Han-seok thought.

"I'm sure Mr. Bacon offered to pick you up."

Haru, who left the departure hall, searched for bacon through the crowd.

I said I would pick up bacon at the time of the day's arrival, but I couldn't see it even though I washed my eyes and looked for it.

Just as I was about to break into a cold sweat in the midst of the constant crowd.

"Whoa!"

"Oh, my God!"

Bacon, who appeared like a ghost, banged Haru's back and screamed.

The day took hold of my fluttering heart.

How can a ghost-watcher surprise you every day?

"It's inevitable because you're a human before a ghost!’

The same words were filled to the end of my neck, but I endured them.

I'm sorry Bacon is late. He apologized one after another.

They said they couldn't help it because of the traffic jam, but I was grateful that they came to pick me up.

"Are we going straight to the hotel?”

"Oh, that's not it. There's one more person who's supposed to pick me up here. It just so happens that the arrival time overlaps."

"Who are you?”

"Chef Tanaka. It's about time you arrived."

"If you were Chef Tanaka.”

Haru was the one who knew.

And he knows the day, too.

Two of the most powerful chefs in the Made Fur Films documentary.

Similar men, even relatively young, representing Korea and Japan.

Haru also watched Tanaka's video several times, so he clearly remembered his face or voice.

The impression was stronger than I thought.’I hate to admit it, but it was like a goblin.

It was even more scary because he was holding a long Japanese-style sashimi knife.

How should I say this? It's like a face that I don't want to meet when I bow as a senior in the kitchen.

The same was true of the interview. Tanaka was a person who cooked with only one of his troubles and pride.

Gulp.

It was an unintended rival, but Haru was not bad to think about.

But I never thought I'd see him today.

The day I waited with bacon dried my mouth.

In the meantime.

"Oh, there he is. Chef Tanaka!"

"Where are you, Chef Tanaka?”

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Bacon, who jumped to his feet, rushed to the departure hall.

Haru followed him every day, but Chef Tanaka could not be seen in the crowd.

by the way

"Oh, bacon. Thank you. You've been waiting for a long time, right?”

"It's okay. I didn't have a big schedule today anyway. How was your flight, Tanaka?"

"I rode a business for the first time in my life, and I knew why people were spending money. Thanks to you."

"Mr. Tanaka is coming. That's nothing!"

It's a pretty familiar.

It wasn't even the only strange thing to say.

"Is this Shoji Tanaka?"

One day I was genuinely surprised.

To my surprise, I was much more surprised than when I first met the much-awaited bacon.

'Even if it's not what I expected, it's so different. What is it?'

To be honest, I wondered if Bacon had deceived himself.

I'm sure he does.

Tanaka's first impression was very different from what he saw in the video.

He looked really gentle, like a nice church brother.

Besides, I didn't want to admit it somewhere, but it really looked a lot like Haru.

From impression to personality. I thought I knew it even without having a conversation.

Tanaka and I looked alike as people before the chef.

"Come on, chef Lee Haru from Korea. I told you last time, right?”

"Aha! Hello!"

Tanaka greeted the day with a nice look on her face.

That's a bit lame in Korean.

"Korean…… You're doing it!!"

"Mr. Bacon said he'd see you someday. I saw the video. So I memorized the greeting. I apologize if my pronunciation was weird."

"Oh, no, no. No, thank you. I look forward to your kind cooperation. My name is Haru."

"This is Shoji Tanaka. Let's have a good time."

The two men joined hands.

One day, he thought he was rather shy, but strangely, Tanaka was able to get close to each other even though we first met today.

"Well, everyone's here, so let's go.”

When I left the airport, there was a nice limousine standing.

There was even a separate driver, so the two men couldn't help but be surprised at the unexpected luxury.

'Limousine as soon as I came to America by business. Is this life?'

Bacon said it was a natural treatment for the chefs, but one day he was in a bad mood and was not in a bad mood.

And so was Tanaka.

The two opened their mouths blankly, and as soon as their eyes met, they turned their heads unconsciously.

While chatting with each other that they had been curious about, a black limousine ran coolly on the road in Los Angeles.

A few hours later, I stopped in front of a big hotel.

"This is your accommodation until the end of your schedule. Our staff will show you around the room. You can also give your luggage to the front bellboy.""Thank you! By the way, what's your schedule like in the future?”

"There are a lot of chefs who haven't come yet. Until everyone gets together...…. about three days left. You can send it freely until you have an orientation."

"Do you mean free time?"

Hey, the chefs who participate said they are all restaurants or restaurants because they don't have jobs.

Perhaps Bacon's efforts to make such a big place were great.

Haru, who followed the bellboy to the 17th floor, unpacked his luggage in the hotel room. For your information, Tanaka's room was on the 16th floor.

"Wow……"

It wasn't beyond my expectation, either.

I was just wondering when the limousine came to pick me up, but as expected, the facilities in the hotel room were not luxurious and luxurious.

How much money does it take to get this much room in a hotel in central Los Angeles?

Of course it wasn't suite-class, but the hotel itself was a great place.

"Honestly, I even have this thought. I thought it was worth coming here just to get treated like this without spending any of my money...….”

Really? I'm just jealous of you for a day. d*mn it! If I were alive, I would have been treated like that!

"Chef, you could have just gone with money."

It's not wrong, but there's a thing called a person' My dream is to be treated like this when I'm young like you.

I couldn't argue one day because it wasn't wrong.

I unpacked my luggage in the hotel room and rolled around in bed for a while.

Bedding was also so soft that I could hardly sleep, so I took a sweet nap for a while.

"Yaah……"

When I woke up with my eyes closed, it was about two hours later.

The night view of Los Angeles glistening out of the high-rise window.

My stomach growling at the same time.

Then what to do has already been decided.

"Shall we go eat?"

Traveling is always fun to eat.

At first, I was planning to take a walk near my accommodation and enter a nice looking restaurant.

However, Choi Han-seok made a quite tempting offer.

Since we're here. To experience and prepare. How about going to Michelin?

"Oh, it's...It's really nice."

Los Angeles is famous for its entertainment, but it's never far behind in terms of gastronomy.

There were many Michelin restaurants in the United States that were simply incomparable to Korea, and the same was true of Los Angeles.

When I picked up my cell phone and searched a little, a list of Michelin restaurants where I could take a taxi near my accommodation came out.

Among them, Choi Han-seok chose a restaurant that Adam touched (more than 50 percent), and one day he turned the phone one by one.

"I know the odds are low, but I hope so.”

All the restaurants Haru visited were Fine Dining restaurants.

And one of the biggest features of fine dining is that it's an incredibly strict reservation system.

If you don't make a reservation and go there, you can't even eat.

Even since it's a reservation for the evening, there's a high possibility that there's no room.

Of course, I had to hear a few things that were disappointing.

-I'm sorry, sir. We are fully booked on that day.

I'm really sorry. Please use it again next time.

I'm sorry, there aren't any seats left until this month.….

I was about to see the end of the list that I thought was more than I thought.

You're so lucky, sir. There were two teams who canceled the reservation 30 minutes ago! If you come right away, do you think you can eat?"Really? Thank you. I'll be right there."

We're thankful. Well, I'll have it ready right away!

Luckily, there was a spot at a restaurant a little away from Los Angeles.

Jamie's Kitchen was a pretty plain name restaurant.

Contrary to its name, it was the place where Michelin-to-Star was launched three years after its opening.
