Yoo Yong-wook, the head of the Barbecue Research Institute, will appear on MBC's entertainment program "The Manager." In episode 383, airing on the 31st, Yoo Yong-wook's daily life will be revealed for the first time. He gained attention for showcasing a unique smoking technique on "Black & White Chef 2." Yoo Yong-wook's barbecue is renowned for its exceptional taste, attracting visits from top executives of major corporations, and this broadcast will provide a detailed introduction to his barbecue secrets.

Contrary to the saying that "chefs don't cook at home," Yoo Yong-wook starts his day early in the kitchen preparing meals for his family. He sets up a "barbecue feast" considering the preferences of his wife and two children. His passion is extraordinary, having once kept a meat refrigerator at home to continue his research, and the house is said to be filled with the scent of smoke from morning.

Afterward, he heads to his restaurant to begin serious research. As the "head of the research institute," Yoo Yong-wook continuously tests smoking techniques not only on meat but also on various ingredients such as vegetables, lemons, butter, and bread. This process demonstrates his passion for barbecue to the extent that even the program's commentators are amazed.

Yoo Yong-wook's employee welfare is also noteworthy. To celebrate the New Year, he gave gifts worth a total of 10 million won to his staff and presented luxury brand bags to long-term employees. Yoo Yong-wook holds the philosophy of "never disappointing with food" and shows employee care comparable to large corporations, generously providing sea urchin roe, among other things. This attitude made the commentators express a desire to join his team.

The broadcast will also reveal behind-the-scenes stories from "Black & White Chef 2," including a moment when Yoo Yong-wook was flustered because the meat didn't cook properly during the final ace round of the team competition and how he overcame it. Yoo Yong-wook's special day, filled with his passion for barbecue and love for his family and employees, will air on Saturday the 31st at 11:10 PM.

Meanwhile, Chef Lim Sung-geun, one of the top 7 contestants on "Black & White Chef 2," had his episode discarded after a past drunk driving incident was revealed. This broadcast will introduce viewers to Yoo Yong-wook's daily life and his unique barbecue world.
