Kim Jong Un broadcasts 'Master Chef'-style cooking competition while North Korea starves

Published April 22, 2016

Cheese-chomping despot Kim Jong Un held a “Master Chef”-style competition to find North Korea’s top cooks as millions across the nation starve.

The Emmental-obsessed dictator gave the show, which was broadcast on state TV, the green light despite an estimated two-thirds of the country’s 27 million people surviving on food rations.

The Commie connoisseur developed a love of European cheeses and fine wines when he went to school in Switzerland.

But the tubby tyrant was served decidedly different fare during the contest as competitors served up terrapin stew and grey mullet fish soup.

More than 1,000 people entered the competition, with the Pyongyang Times reporting: “The festival was comprised of the exhibitions of gastrological [sic] hits, famous and local special dishes and compulsory dishes and the technical contest and demonstration of top chefs and waiters and waitresses.

Folks in Pyongyang probably are much better off than those in the countryside. It’s one big Potemkin Village, where it takes connections just to live there.
