Stray Kid’s Lee Know Followed Through On A Months Old Promise to Felix And It Was A Great Success
Stray Kids‘ Lee Know is known for being quite a talented chef. Throughout many vlogs and updates on Bubble (a social messaging app where idols can text their fans), his fans have been able to see some of his incredible creations.
One Twitter user even made a thread of some of his creations.

The thread shows off Lee Know’s range in cooking. From seafood pasta.
To stews.
Incredible-looking pasta.
Steak, which he seems to favor.
And even some beautiful-looking desserts.
Lee Know has even attended a cooking show with his member Hyunjin. The two appeared and stunned the judges on MBC‘s Crazy Recipe Adventure.
He also was the “head chef” in a short series Stray Kids uploaded to their YouTube channel, “Mysterious KITCHEN.” Each Stray Kids member wrote down their desired meal, and chefs Lee Know, Han, and I.N would replicate the meal.
The series truly showed off Lee Know’s expertise as he guided his two younger members through everything from properly washing octopus.
To using knives correctly.
And under his tutelage, the three managed to create some incredible dishes throughout the short series.
So because of Lee Know’s talent in the kitchen, it comes as no surprise that his members would often request him to cook for them. And one such instance was none other than Felix, asking Lee Know to make him beef wellington for his birthday.

Beef wellington is an incredibly difficult dish, one Lee Know has attempted in the past but been unsatisfied with. The dish is from England and is a fillet steak coated with pâté (a paste usually made of meat) and duxelles (a mixture of finely chopped mushrooms, onions, and herbs) and wrapped in a puff pastry.
In simpler terms… it’s a challenging dish.
But recently, Lee Know was able to attempt it again, to celebrate Felix’s September birthday a little late, and it was an incredible success.

Fans believed that the main difference in Lee Know’s attempt at cooking the complex dish was both the new oven he finally bought himself, which probably allowed him to control the temperature of the steak better.

As well as the larger kitchen at Stray Kids’ new dorm, which would have allowed him enough space to be comfortable.
And the vlog Lee Know uploaded showing him cooking the beef wellington, getting excited over the success, and Felix expressing his enjoyment of the meal.

And even Bang Chan got to try the dish, telling fans that after he finished filming “Chan’s Room” (his weekly VLIVE series), he went to try it himself and also gave his approval.

Lee Know’s beef wellington was such a well-made dish that even Gordon Ramsay would have to approve.
