Jelbic famous chef Yarmat Zahr tours Kundrati, prepares for a competitive cooking television show for Etxean Public Radio and Television

Hradna Ves - After Jelbic individuals began to enter Kundrati to provide assistance on infrastructure development, among many other things, it seems the Jelbics have made Kundrati a sort of second home. With new Jelbic-Egelian fusion cuisine becoming popular, it seems that this has caught the attention of a famous chef from Vanuku named Yarmat Zahr. Zahr, who is famous for making unique touches of already popular Jelbic foods, has already landed in Kundrati and has begun to tour the country teaching local chefs how to actually cook Jelbic cuisine, alongside showing off true Jelbic food.

We went with Yarmat Zahr as he did a tour of restaurants in the Celanian city of Venora. Zahr rented a small restaurant with a cleaned-up kitchen and brought his staff. He was there for a week as he showed off such famous Jelbic foodstuffs as manti (dumpling soup) and laghman (pulled noodle dish). In fact, while he was preparing a manti for us to taste, a large crowd of individuals wanting to taste the best Jelb food around started to rush the restaurant. Zahr chuckled and kept cooking, and we enjoyed our meal in our car. It was, however, worth the wait as it tasted so good that you would think this was made by Jelbic hands in Jelbic lands. Perhaps that was why the crowd was so eager to try Zahr's food that day. Zahr, citing prior commitments, declined our request for a further interview; however, on HyrNet, we have published several videos on Zahr's cooking and the restaurant.

We asked several individuals who have left Zahr's restaurants about their opinion of the food they had just eaten. Many of them said that while the lines were long (we saw a line stretching five blocks on our visit), the food was absolutely worth the cost and the wait. The more popular foods they tried were food on dastarkhan, sumalak (wheat porridge), and besh barmak (a lamb dish eaten by hand). Zahr mentioned that he was delighted that so many people wanted to try his cuisine and that his food was being treated so positively by people so far from Vanuku.

Zahr plans to end his tour in Kasaema in a few weeks before preparing for a new television show. Zahr said that he plans to cook for the President of Kundrati herself and her entourage, hoping that they could be bitten by the Jelbic culinary bug that has infected the rest of Kundrati. 

-

It is no surprise, thus, that Zahr has announced, alongside Etxean Public Radio and Television (EITP), a new cooking competitive television show on Fridays at 8:00 PM starting in a couple of months. The show plans to have 48 home chefs compete for a 50,000 Kuno grant and the head chef position of a new restaurant that Zahr toured alongside chef training for a few years. The competition will be tournament style with chefs competing for each round at a studio turned into a restaurant, alongside being sent to places throughout Kundrati to cook for crowds, large or small, and in various professions, to try and ensure that the winner will be a versatile chef that doesn't lose quality no matter their kitchen location. The show will be called Lehen zenbakia (Number One), and applications have already opened to sign up for this competition.
