'Chef and Hunter' Delivers Adventure and Culinary Delights, Captivating Viewers
'Chef and Hunter' brings a unique blend of adventure and gastronomy, offering a refreshing twist to the genre. Previous celebrity travel and food shows have faced criticism for providing little benefit to viewers while only indulging the cast.

On the episode aired on Thursday, the 29th, Channel A's variety show 'Chef and Hunter' showcased intense hunting scenes in the wild and dishes crafted from freshly caught ingredients, capturing the audience's attention.

Kim Dae-ho's performance was a standout. As the 'Chef and Hunter' team focused on fishing late into the afternoon, Kim Dae-ho astonished his fellow members by catching a massive 47cm tomato grouper. He couldn't hide his excitement, exclaiming, "I'm a hero."

Edward Lee's 'fine dining' experience in the wild introduced a new world of culinary delight. Before starting the main cooking, Edward Lee expressed his desire to keep the fish types distinct, promising four different dishes. He presented fish pancakes and miso noodles as appetizers, followed by Chinese-style fried fish and grilled white snapper as main courses, showcasing his exceptional culinary skills.

The 'Chef and Hunter' members were amazed by Edward Lee's creations. After tasting the dishes, they remarked, "This is a dish like no other," and "It's a taste you can't find in restaurants." Particularly, Kyung Soo-jin was so impressed that she commented, "This is an 8 million won meal."

The show teased its next episode with a final hunt in Labuan Bajo. In episode 5, the 'Chef and Hunter' team will embark on a quest to catch the 'king of the sea.' Initially, they express concern, wondering, "How can we catch this?" However, Kyung Soo-jin surprises everyone by catching an unexpected big fish, heightening anticipation for next week's broadcast.
