* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Unlike his [[DeceasedParentsAreTheBest father]], Seungwoo never mentions his [[MissingMom mother]], not even once, which can either mean that he grew up with a single parent or doesn't think the best of her.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Dalsoo admires Seungwoo's looks and physique to a degree that can't be passed off as EvenTheGuysWantHim with Taeshik telling him "I respect your tastes but please remember the reason we're here", implying his sexuality. Aside from that incident, Dalsoo doesn't have any camp traits and is still determined to shut Suengwoo's restaurant down somehow.

* PowerFist: Unlike their 87 equipment brethren, a pair of shy magic gauntlets picked Nabi to be their owner instead of Seungwoo who was elated to have his very own weapon. Nabi takes great care of it with routine polishing and maintenance.
* {{Sadist}}: As a SupremeChef, he ''could'' make Tera's cuisine delicious and still keep the power-ups but where's the fun in that? Since he had to endure Tera's cuisine firsthand for ''40 years straight'' in order to recieve the [[PowerUpFood power-ups]], why should anyone else take the easy way out and plus, it gives him the excuse to watch unfortunate challengers suffer.

This is how Baek's trip in Tera was cut short by Renato's patron slicing off his head with a [[SinisterScythe scythe]].

''Bizarre Restaurant'' (''Gwesik Restaurant'' or ''괴식식당'') is a 2022 fantasy {{Manhwa}} written by Shin Hyun Beom and Mezzed K and illustrated by Jaera.
!!Contains the following tropes:
* AllThatGlitters: The gimmick to most "Bizarre Food" is that it doesn't look anything out of the ordinary to four of the five senses but once you actually eat it, it's multiple war crimes committed on your tastebuds. Seungwoo even uses his [[SupremeChef superb cooking skills]] to hide its true nature including the equally awful characteristic smell Tera's food usually has. Kwak is a prime example of the trope, looking so appetising that it makes anyone's mouth water and constantly sparkles in the light but to those who actually tried it, a death sentence seems more favorable than taking another bite.
* BaitAndSwitch: Right before the power outage in chapter 17, Seungwoo was watching a movie that seems straight out of a romance drama when it took an unexpected turn:
-->[The two leads stand in the middle of a romantic winter landscape]
-->'''Woman:''' What do I know? I...For 200 years, I waited for you!
-->'''Man:''' [Holds the woman's hand] For the past 200 years, I've searched for you. To say this to you...
-->[Suddenly the man's soft expression turns serious and grim as he brandishes a knife]
-->'''Man:''' I'll kill you. My parents' enemy.
-->'''Seungwoo:''' [Drops popcorn] WAIT, WHAT?!
* EarlyBirdCameo: Seungwoo ordered a "pudding slime" from his former party member Renato in chapter 7 and kept it inside the newly dug-out basement of his restaurant. It made its first and [[WeHardlyKnewYe only]] appearance in chapter 35, having slowly grown and producing pudding from eating leftovers.
* EpicFail: The thirty-five hunters who tried the "Bizarre Food Challenge" have bitten off more than they can chew, literally.
** They dismissed the first-level dish kwak as an easy win, especially the endurance specialist, but the pancake proved to be more of a battle than any S-rank monster could give. Unsurprisingly, none of the hunters made it more than a quarter of the way through the pancake before collapsing into a comatose-like state. Kwak 1, Hunters 0.
** They later did a second attempt the next day but this time fully prepared such as wearing winter coats stuffed with heat packs for the winter spirits and [[HotSauceDrinking chugging down hot sauce]] to numb their tastebuds. This did absolutely nothing and in fact, only made the hunters way more miserable than the last time as the kwak was physically and systematically attacking them on the inside. Kwak 2, Hunters 0.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Franchberk Baby Food may sound like the least intimidating of the Tera dishes but its effects of increasing one's vigor to quickly develop their fighting spirit are devastating. A few of these meatballs transformed the mild-mannered, FriendToAllChildren, fluffy polar bear Pero into a ferocious, instinct-driven, battle-junkie that [[BearsAreBadNews uruks]] were meant to strive as. And this was supposed to be fed to ''young children'' in Tera.
* HotSauceDrinking: One of the tactics the hunters employ for the Bizarre Food Challenge as they each chugged down a bottle in an effort to numb their tastebuds and bypass the Kwak's awful taste. Alas, all the hot sauce did was burned their stomachs which further hampered their progress of eating the kwak if they didn't drink it.
* MasochistsMeal: Basically every single dish in Tera where they value PowerUpFood over actual good food and any ingredient there is deadly in its own right. When Seungwoo opened a restaurant back on Earth, he carries over the cuisine as his specialty called "Bizarre Food" and using his skills as a SupremeChef, "improves" the dishes by making them [[AllThatGlitters look and smell heavenly]] but its taste has undergone the deepest depths of hell. What's worst is that after getting past the taste, there's the matter of the body suffering intense physical and systematic changes that may or may not kill the consumer.
** Reus Steak comes from the elder red dragon, Keil Reus, who ruled over his kind for thousands of years and served as the demon king's right-hand man so he wouldn't be someone else's dinner [[DefiantToTheEnd without a fight]]. Despite being long dead and butchered, the steak started screaming bloody murder while frying which Seungwoo passed off as nothing to a concerned Baek. It becomes more foreboding as Baek found it impossible to cut through its impenetrable flesh and when he finally took a bite, an [[FireBreathingDiner uncontrollable fire spew from his mouth]] and knocked him unconscious for an entire hour. That was the power of a 3-star dish and the first course of more "Bizarre Food" yet to be served.
** Kwak, a crispy scallion pancake reminiscent of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pajeon pajeon]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6zleme gözleme]], was previously underestimated as the first level of the "Bizarre Food Challenge" but as of now, only ''two'' people (Min and Taeji) have passed. Instead of potato starch, Seungwoo uses [[{{Treants}} Ent]] starch containing enough poison to render anyone half-dead, replaces regular scallions with winter spirits which enshroud a persistent chill of sub-zero temperatures and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking is mixed with lukewarm water to give a gross, mushy texture]]. The first challenger who specializes in mental and physical endurance couldn't stomach more than one bite before passing out and the remaining thirty-four hunters were left in a similar nauseous, comatose state. This is not even at its fullest potential as Seungwoo adjusts the three-star dish to a low one-star since he wants to run a restaurant, not a funeral home.
* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Seungwoo has three god titles representing his achievements: The God of Swords (From attaining the highest level as a swordmaster), The God of Victory (From defeating the Demon Lord and never losing in battle) and The God of... Bizarre Cuisine (That one's [[LethalChef pretty self-explanatory]]).
* NonIndicativeName: Bizarre Restaurant isn't the name of Seungwoo's restaurant but it's derived from a {{Portmanteau}} of the Warrior's Restaurant (The actual name) serving up "Bizarre Food" (Tera's cuisine).
* OnlyOneWhoLikesSpam: The people of Tera are the only ones able to truly enjoy and appreciate their own cuisine despite it being declared the worst, most intolerable food in the ''entire multiverse''.
* OurGodsAreDifferent: Gods are either born as one, such as the Goddess Gaia, or humans who earned it through leveling up which Seungwoo and Renato did. Once a person reaches level 99, they gain a title and powers related to their achievements and then earn their second title at level 199. Seungwoo is an unusual case given that he has ''three'' titles at level 256 which he didn't know about until he went back to the pantheon.
* PowerLevels: The [[PowerUpFood food]] in Tera is ranked by the number of red stars in which the more stars a dish has, the higher status effects the consumer receives but it is also directly proportional to how horrible the taste is and the likelihood of ''death''. The star tiers are listed down as followed:
** 1-star: The level at which most hunters on Earth can tolerate. Such dishes include [[ComfortFood clam chowder]] (The current lowest tier since it actually tastes good) and [[AcquiredPoisonImmunity kwak]] (Adjusted from three stars for the Bizarre Food Challenge).
* ShoutOut:
** After finishing the porridge for the first time, Min slumps over his chair akin to the famous pose from ''Manga/TomorrowsJoe''.
** One of the female customers admiring Pero the polar bear Uruk wonders if he likes coca cola, referencing the soft-drink company's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coca-Cola_polar_bears animal mascots]].
* SlowAndSteadyWinsTheRace: The trick to eating Kwak is to take small but manageable bites and make full use of the thirty-minute time limit rather than swallowing it whole due to the small portion size as most would do and fail. Seungwoo hinted at the beginning of the challenge that quantity doesn't matter but only Seo Taeji figures it out as he puts it best in his analogy:
-->'''Seo Taeji:''' Instead of food, let's think of this like an attack. My defense is 3 and let's suppose the kwak's attack power is 100. Is it better to get hit at full power once and receive 97 damage right away... or is it better to split it and get hit ten times over a period?
* SoupIsMedicine: Seungwoo's porridge he whipped up for Min has the properties of a high-level HealingPotion but tastes nastier than any medicine known to mankind which is on-brand of being a Bizarre Food. Min is extremely grateful, however, as the porridge let him regain his original strength and cured him of all his aliments.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: In chapter 17, a rogue gangster with [[ShockAndAwe electricity powers]] attempts to [[EnergyAbsorption absorb a nearby power plant of its energy]] to defeat Min but didn't take into account that his body wasn't built to withstand that much electricity. As such, Min didn't need to fight him since the gangster ended up [[SelfDisposingVillain short-circuiting himself]] and cause a minor power outage in part of the city.
* TemptingFate: Those who underestimate the "Bizarre Food Challenge" or say Seungwoo's cooking doesn't look too bad will [[InstantlyProvenWrong shortly end up looking like they need the ER]].
* WeHardlyKnewYe: Seungwoo's pudding slime makes its appearance in chapter 35 after being alluded to 28 chapters prior. Unfortunately, it was assimilated in the same chapter by [[BlobMonster Formula Zero]] in a failed attempt to regain their [[PlanetEater former mass]] and becoming the new pudding slime in its place.
