The latest food craze in South Korea: “sexy cooking men.”

The  latest food craze in South Korea: “sexy cooking men.”

In my 88 plus years of  experience,
many women are never quite as happy
or feel so much joy,
as when they can arrange to have
some men they like in their employ.


This age-old homily
 has now once again
been proven on South Korean TV
where  chef Jin Kyung-soo,
by cooking chopped steak with fig sauce,
has perhaps saved a marriage or two 
from acrimony or divorce.


In addition, 
what might  add to the smiles  a show like that brings
would be  if, sometime in the not too distant  future,
they'll perfect  an Internet Of Things:

Then. French chef, Jacques Pepin
could merely  raise his pan
and from the front of the console
would emerge a buttery filet of sole
graced with its host's  sauce so mild,
 as to enchant the Ghost of Julia Child.

However for me,
until that yet far off day,
for now, it's still   going to be 
a Chinese take-out, okay?

SEOUL — Chef Jin Kyung-soo stood in the kitchen, porkpie hat and trendy glasses accessorizing his white smock, putting the finishing touches on his steak with fig sauce. Then he served it up to the seven attractive men sitting at the tables in front of him.
“I never get tired of eating this,” said Cho Se-ho, a well-known comedian and one of those waiting to taste Jin’s creation. “It makes me so excited. This food turns me on.” All the other guys fell about laughing.
It’s the latest food craze in South Korea: “sexy cooking men.”
