Some Cooking Manga that i read a while ago and i kept going back at it for some reason. While this one is not exactly on par with Oishinbo or Cooking Papa, Shoku King still worth a read. Spanning over 27 Volumes, Shoku King explore the culinary world of Japan through the journey of a former executive chef from a prestigious restaurant who is basically modern incarnation of Shinsengumi Hijikata if he decided to be a chef. The protagonist travelled around Japan, helping failing restaurants to bounce back with his expertise. What makes Shoku King interesting is that the rehabilitation program that the protagonist offer to the restaurant owners are rather novel and borderline bizarre at times ranging from working in pachinko parlor to playing arcade games. However the culinary creations that the protagonist made are always worth looking forward to. So if you look for some Cooking Battle Manga but doesn't want it to be over the top like Shokugeki no Soma, i think Shoku King worth a visit.
