“Idol sa Kusina” recently marked its 9th year on television. The show was part of the programs launched by GMA News TV in 2011. Its host, Chef Boy, is a master chef in Oriental, Mediterranean, and Western cuisine. He holds the distinction of being the first Filipino to be named as an executive chef of a 5-star hotel in the country. Despite his achievements, his down-to-earth nature has made viewers and his guests as well, easily relate to him and his cooking.
The Kapuso chef is happy that “Idol sa Kusina” continues to attract viewers.
“Ever since we started Idol sa Kusina, gusto talaga namin makapag-share ng mga recipes at practical tips sa viewers,” said Chef Boy. “Everybody loves food. And through our show, everyone can be a chef and an ‘Idol sa Kusina’ at home too. I’m happy kasi for nine years, hindi lang pagkain ang naihatid namin sa mga manonood, nakapag-serve rin kami ng saya, tawa at mga bagong matututunan sa buhay sa aming programa. I feel blessed, at nagpapasalamat ako dahil patuloy ang pagsuporta ng mga Kapuso natin sa Idol sa Kusina.”
Chynna, who joined Chef Boy in 2017, shared how grateful she is to be part of the weekly show. In an interview with GMANetwork.com, the Kapuso host-actress said she is glad to be in a program that has been helping viewers cook.
“Happy Anniversary!!! Thank you so much ISK for all the important life skills you have taught so many aspiring home cooks,” Chynna said. “May we continue to help Chef Boy spread good vibes and love for food. God bless our whole team, [I’m] always grateful that I’m part of the ISK family.”
