The top spot, however, surprisingly went to the celebrity chef Paik Jong Won. A whopping 15% of the total participants said that he would be their first choice to go on a brunch with! The respondents who chose Paik as their first pick reasoned that he would probably make them the most delicious brunch and also would be a great person to seek career advice from.
