'Wandering Sik' late Lim Ji-ho, today (12th) 2nd cycle... A healing meal that stars will miss

It is the second anniversary of the late Lim Ji-ho, a culinary researcher known as a 'wandering eater'.

The deceased passed away on June 12, 2021 at the age of 65. The cause of death is said to have been a heart attack.

Chef Lim Ji-ho, a so-called 'wanderer', made healthy and beautiful dishes with natural ingredients. It is known that because of the ups and downs in the growth process, he has wanderlust, so he has been wandering from place to place without settling in one place, gaining cooking skills and knowledge.

In 2004, he held a food demonstration in Stuttgart, Germany, and participated in several Korean food festivals, presenting several dishes inspired by Korean natural ingredients. As a chef at a restaurant called 'Sandang' in Yangpyeong-gun and Cheongdam-dong, he later opened a restaurant called 'Hojeong' in Ganghwa Island to welcome diners.

As he was a chef with distinct characteristics, he received many love calls from broadcasters. In 2014, he appeared on SBS 'How to eat well and live well, did you eat?' and met many guests to talk about life and food. It was popular with many stars saying that 'Chef Lim's cooking makes me feel healed'.

In February 2020, Park Hye-ryeong's documentary film 'Bapjeong', which captures her special affection for her mother and her philosophy on cooking, also appeared on the screen.

In particular, it played a pivotal role in the program by appearing in MBN's entertainment program 'Eat More', which was launched in November 2020 and ended in April 2021. Comedians Kang Ho-dong and Hwang Je-seong set up a healing table for several guests at a mountaintop house in Bukhansan Mountain.
