The China-America King of Chefs competition is undoubtedly a very professional culinary reality show, so professional that even the semi-finals required a rehearsal in advance. Four days after Jiang Feng and the others were notified to check the competition venue and finances, the production crew notified them again to rehearse on site.
At the same time, the date of the semi-finals was also set, December 8th, a day that sounded very auspicious. The competition duration was also very long, a full twelve hours, which meant the contestants could make any dish they wanted, whether it was simmering stock or freezing the ingredients before cooking. There were no drawbacks except that the length might be too torturous for the judges and staff.
