Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant
Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant (; lit. "New Item Released Convi-staurant") is a South Korean television program that airs on KBS2. It currently airs every Friday at 20:30 (KST). The program is also available to watch on KBS World's YouTube channel from November 5, 2019. The program is notable for popularizing the Macanese coffee beverage later known as "Dalgona coffee" by former cast member Jung Il-woo. Overview. A cooking battle between celebrities is held. Based on a theme (usually a type of food), celebrities will develop and reveal their own creative  recipes, plus cooking personally. The dishes are then judged by a judge squad, and the winning dish will be available in CU outlets around South Korea the next day after the announcement of the winning dish. In addition, the winning dishes, beginning Round 17, are also available in online markets, in the form of a meal kit. Proceeds from the sales of the winning dishes will be donated to charities. The amount of sales has totaled up to ₩302,969,867, as reported on episode 119. Judge Squad. From the show's premiere to Round 13, the celebrities' dishes were judged  by a judge squad. The judge squad consisted of chefs and Lee Won-il, singer Lee Seung-chul and Kim Jung-hoon, the MD of CU. They will judge the dishes based on these categories: Taste, Texture, Originality, and Marketability. Lee Won-il has not appeared after Round 9, possibly due to the effects of the media reports accusing his wife Kim Yoo-jin of bullying behaviour in the past. From Rounds 14 to 16, the judge squad consisted of 20 individuals (5 each from the 10s, the 20s, the 30s-40s and the 50s-60s). The 20 individuals could include idol  singers or the sons/daughters of celebrities. The judge squad also include the guest host(s) of the round and chef Lee Yeon-bok. The judging criteria remains the same. Due to this change, Lee Seung-chul and Kim Jung-hoon have no longer appeared on the show from Round 14. From Round 17, the judge squad consisted of only chefs, including Lee Yeon-bok. Cast. Fixed Judge Squad. Other than being part of the judge squad to judge the food, they will sit together with the guest host(s) and the cast lineup to watch the recorded clips of the celebrities  preparing their creative recipes. Lineups of Chefs & Special Hosts. Throughout the running of the show, many celebrities have appeared on the show as chefs or as special hosts. Competing chefs are often assigned in a rotational basis every round, making room for appearances by new celebrities and allowing them to showcase their recipe creations. This can be seen starting from Round 12, competing chefs Lee Kyung-kyu and Lee Young-ja took turns in creating new recipes for every other round. More details of the chefs and special hosts are given in detail in the "Episodes" sections. Stars' Top Recipe
