Speaking of chefs, everyone's first reaction is the pot table, stove table, dining table, chai rice oil and salt, tall white hat, and smoke-filled back kitchen. When we enjoy delicious food, we only use the "delicious" and "disc" actions to express our recognition and gratitude to the chef, and rarely continue to explore the whereabouts of these behind-the-scenes heroes. On the occasion of World Chef's Day, we approach chefs from all over the world to see how they love, magically change, and beautifully pass on the art on the tip of their tongues, subtly influencing people's habits and lives.
