Both The Chef and Black Jack have a serious, stoic main character (they even look the same sans the scars) who travels around to fix problems. For the wealthy, they charge an obscene amount. It's probably safe to assume The Chef will have poor clients in later chapters who won't get charged for his fixing service. The art style is also quite similar and this can be a nice change for those who want to look at medicine rather than food and vice versa.

Wandering chefs with a bad boy exterior and warm interior? Both these manga will scratch that itch.

Yes, wandering chef that helps solve restaurants problems is a trope, and these bad bos from the 80s helped establish it.

Look, you already know how this goes. There's a wandering chef and he blows into town and fixes problems with his cooking. It's a Saturday afternoon spaghetti western with full 80s flourishes. If you enjoy one, you'll enjoy another, so sit back and read.
