A project to make the better use of those bothersome leftover foods in your fridge.
Best chefs of Korea are here to invade your fridge!
These people make you eat 4 times on every Monday.
People who make you crave for late night food! Let me introduce our 8 chefs.
Welcome back.
People who make you crave for late night food!
It has been a long time since we had all 8 seats filled up from the beginning .
So you might think we don't have a special chef for today.
But he's too big to hide.
A big size chef.
Size XXL.
Please welcome Chef Raymond Kim. Welcome.
Hello, I am Raymon Kim who came because I'm furious.
Raymon Kim visited us because he's furious about last match.
A match between Chef Kim Duk-youn and Chef Kim Hee-tae.
After I tasted Chef Sam's dish... I got furious.
I'm furious.
Make him furious too before you leave.
Show us the result.
Sam Kim won.
Kim Heung-guk texted me the next morning.
He kept sending me, "LOL"s.
And Sam also texted me the next day.
He said, "I know how good you are. It's okay."
That's so mean!
- Sam Kim.. - Wow.
Is that why you texted him?
I will tell you exactly what he said.
Let me see.
I won't add or leave anything. This is what Sam Kim said.
Good job yesterday.
It was nice to do a show together in a while.
But.. I was a little better than you.
That's so mean!
He really didn't add anything.
Oh, at the end he said,
It was just for the show. The world knows you're a good chef.
And he added "LOL."
"It's okay, cheer up! LOL"
Yeah.
Him losing to Sam caused a fight with her wife, I heard.
I heard Kim Ji-woo is as furious as if she was lost to Sam.
- I understand. - She sent me here.
She said, go try at least 3 times.
Or don't come back home.
I heard a story about Chef Lee after he lost to Chef Yeo Kyung-Rae.
Apparently his wife punished him that night.
She made him take off his shirt and stand outside with a wok in this cold weather.
She also made him spin Th wok.
To teach him a lesson to practice more.
He has lost quite a few times though.
Why this time only when you lost to Chef Yeo Kyung-Rae?
She wants me to win especially when I compete with other Chinese food chefs.
Because you are in the same field.
What about you, Chef Jeong Ho-young?
When I lost to Kim Poong last week,
my mom was like.. "what are you gonna do now?"
"You lost to Poong?"
She scolded me hard, she sad lots of painful things.
Your mother did?
Let's see if Raymon can pull a revenge or he will go back furious again.
He might get anger disorder.
Let's introduce today's fridges' owners now.
We have invited 2 lovely people who are loved by the entire nation.
Who are today's guests?
They are revealed now!
[Today's guest's fridge]
[Is shipped to the studio.]
[And another fridge]
[Is also shipped to the studio]
[Today's guests are revealed now]
They were hard to invite.
Today's guests are loved by the nation..
Today's guests are loved by the nation, please welcome Cha Tae-hyun and Son Yeon-jae!
Welcome.
Good to see you.
Welcome.
Finally we have a fairy here at TGCF's studio.
She won the gold medal from 2014 Incheon Asian Olympics.
I was the anchor for her competition.
That's my relationship with her.
And she won the 4th place as the first Asian to be ranked that high.
A rhythmic gymnast, a fairy, Son Yeon-jae, who has conquered the entire world!
Welcome.
Hello, I am a rhythmic gymnast, Son Yeon-jae.
He looks really happy from his heart.
I was very enthusiastic when I was introducing her...
I might die as I introduce her..
Wait. Chef Choi, stop glancing at her.
Is this your first time meeting her?
It's my first time meeting her.
You are less than 1m away from her.
It's good that I cook for living.
Sam Kim, you are sitting across from her.
- I really didn't know she was coming. - Really?
In the waiting room, he saw her and he was like..
"Gosh, it's really Son Yeon-jae!"
He found out today?
It never happened before.
What about me?
"Oh, well. I guess he's coming."
- No feelings at all? - Like "well, he's coming.."
And we have a middle-aged fairy.
A romantic guy who married his first love.
Now he has been upgraded to a father of 3 children.
An actor with no haters for his 21 years of career!
Please welcome Cha Tae-hyun!
Cha Tae-hyun! Cha Tae-hyun!
We have invited two people who are loved by all Koreans.
Actually, Yeon-jae is loved from people around the world.
An international magazine has chosen 5 beautiful 2016 Rio Olympic athletes.
Yeon-jae was chosen as one of them.
Did you know about this?
I did but I thought it was done among Koreans only.
Only Koreans?
I thought it was among Koreans only.
No , it's not.
It was done by an international magazine.
In 2002. our MC Ahn was voted as #1 soccer player to go on a date with
over David Beckham.
We've done a research.
- Is it trustworthy? - Of course.
We're talking about 2002, it's totally possible.
He was called Terius then.
Although he's just an old man with beer belly now.
You need to keep up even after you retire.
Oh, I have a breaking news.
The survey was done by a Korean website.
I knew it.
The sample size is pretty small.
I feel like you would feel different when you look at Yeon-jae.
Practicing in a foreign country is very hard.
I did a different sport but I feel sympathy.
You moved to Russia when you were 17, right?
Yes, when I was a in high school.
What gave you the hardest times?
I couldn't speak Russian for the first 3 years.
I could understand them but..
I have mistaken the practice time,
I had no friends,
And I only repeated eating, practicing, and sleeping every day.
The schedule was the same every day.
That must be very hard.
I was once told that the practice was in the afternoon but
no one was at the field when I got there.
It turned out that everyone had left.
You misunderstood the time?
I'm not sure if they tricked me or...
So you didn't know what AM or PM was?
No, I was...
How could you mix up AM and PM?
Gosh, unbelievable.
- That's so easy! Morning and afternoon? - No, I just said it because..
Yeon-jae said she experienced what I went through.
Did you get drunk the night before maybe?
Oh, yeah. You were still hungover when they told you the time.
I bet what Tae-hyun said is the truth.
Don't become an entertainer after you retire.
Once being a Korean fairy doesn't matter.
- You will turn out like this. - What are you saying?
She is really popular in Bulgaria.
Who is?
Son Yeon-jae is.
I knew Mihal would say something.
Rhythmic gymnastic is one of the famous sports in Bulgaria.
She is actually our rival.
Have you been to Bulgaria?
I go there once every year.
Once every year?
I have visited Sofia for World Cup.
You don't have to go all the way to Sofia.
In Itaewon...
Why would she go to Itaewon for her practice?
There's a Little Bulgaria.
Little Bulgaria.
As far as I know, Yeon-jae is good at Russian.
You speak Russian?
- Yes. Hello. - Nice to meet you. How are you??
Good. How are you?
You're really good at Russian.
That's enough.
It's like she's doing ventriloquism.
I can tell Chef Mihal is really talkative.
Whenever we have a female guest.
Have you seen any of Tae-hyun's drama?
Um... I am a really big fan of him.
I've also seen many of his movies.
I heard his daughter is doing rhythmic gymnastic for her hobby.
A few days ago, there was a show from my daughter's academy.
We had to miss it for our family trip.
I found out today that..
it was for Yeon-jae's gala show.
The teacher is my good friend.
- So her kids did the performance... - Why didn't she tell me that?
I wouldn't have gone on a trip if I knew!
I felt so sad after I heard that.
Do you want to raise your daughter as a rhythmic gymnast like Yeon-jae?
I don't mind at all.
If she could be this good..
For Tae-hyun who wants to be a father of a rhythmic gymnast,
can you show us how rhythmic gymnastic is like?
Give her a round of applause!
Let's see her do it first.
The simplest move is making circles like this.
You can do this...
If you connect them, then it will be like this.
It feels like the ribbon is alive.
The official TGCF dancer, Jeong Ho-young!
It's harder than people think.
You're not making noodles!
You have to stretch out your arms..
Wow, look at him.
He's good.
He is.
He's from Bulgaria, that's why.
Wow, Bulgaria.
He's the hidden ace.
Spin, spin it!
- I die if I drop this, right? - He changed his hands!
He's good.
This is why his daughter started rhythmic gymnastics.
Give Tae-hyun a round of applause!
Good work.
Kids follow their dad's talent.
Can I ask you for an autograph?
- His daughter must be very happy. - I will give you mine.
Yeon-jae offered her ribbon!
She's signing her autograph.
For Tae-hyun's second daughter.
My second and the third one will get into a fight, I'm sure.
She put a heart.
I used it for the Olympics.
It's the ribbon she used in the Olympics!
You used it in the Olympics?
So it's worn out a little at the end.
That's what makes it better.
A new one doesn't have any meaning.
It has to have footprints and stuff.
Tae-Eun has no other option but to become a rhythmic gymnast,
If Tae-Eun becomes a successful rhythmic gymnast like Yeon-jae,
she will be like,
"I think I could come this far because of the ribbon my dad got for me from TGCF."
Your daughter must be very happy.
Ready for the picture? 1, 2 3!
Looking good!
I only have to watch our for my third one.
Will she be jealous?
I'm 100% sure.
Should we give her a fishing rod instead?
- Take this. - We have one more.
They look the same.
We have to give him one more.
So that they won't know.
Kids can fight over those.
By the way, you must be very busy practicing these days.
What made you visit us today?
I've watched TGCF in Russia many times.
During the season, we have to watch for our weights.
So I can't usually eat a meal, you know.
I tend to get vicarious satisfaction by watching TGCF.
Does watching cooking shows work?
It actually makes me feel less hungry.
For me, it made me crave for food more.
It's because you've never got vicarious satisfaction.
You actually ate real food.
No, when I was a soccer player.. I craved for pizza and chicken.
They are the worst enemies.
I know how much I have to work out for eating them.
You know how painful it would be.
It must have been harder for her.
Do you get stressed out a lot from keeping your weight low?
I get stressed out as I eat.
I don't want to get stressed out today though.
What's your reaction like when you eat something good?
I tend to move a lot.
- Do you run around? - Not that but..
I keep doing this.
A lot of girls do that.
Gosh, what should we do?
And they keep asking.
"Isn't it good?" "It's really good, isn't it?"
I want them to stop asking me.
Do you get stressed out from that?
I have a really... cheap taste.
I don't know what's good and what's not.
So if I say it's not good, then they have to close down their restaurants.
It's understandable.
He really likes everything.
Good.
The fridge behind me is Yeon-jae's.
- Is it from your house? - Yes, it's from my house in Korea.
I use it with my parents.
I go to Russia with my mom and my dad's usually alone at home.
Is that how I will be like when Tae-Eun becomes a successful rhythmic gymnast?
Is that so?
He's thinking.
Then what does your father eat?
Good question.
We'll find out when we open this.
It might look similar to future Tae-hyun's fridge.
When his second daughter becomes a rhythmic gymnast..
Tae-hyun might look at it from a different angle.
Have you ever showed your fridge through a TV show
No, it's my first time.
Maybe our fairy only drinks water.
Maybe fairies will come out.
Because you said that, the PDs have to use computer graphics.
They have to put like 3 Tinker Bells.
Put like 10.
Let us introduce Yeon-jae's fridge to you!
- There's nothing. - It's empty.
Tae-hyun, will you be alright?
Me?
It's your future.
It's really empty.
Let's look at the freezer too.
This is the freezer!
Oh, no.
It's not... filled up.
But I see something filling up the fridge.
I see some fairies.
Yeah, I see many pretty fairies.
They fill up the fridge.
It's really empty. Is it because you have a small family?
It's been a month or two since I came back to Korea.
I was in Russia most of the times
so I don't have a lot in there.
But your dad's at home.
He eats outside.
I can't take it.
Your father doesn't eat at home.
I want to learn and cook for him later.
On the second shelf, there is a little box.
What is it?
Facial masks!
For her skin.
I use it with mom.
You should give dad some, too.
The first thing I see on the 3rd shelf is oriental medicine packs.
This much.
I used to not eat it but recently, I felt tired.
- How old are you? - 23 but..
You feel tired?
I am young but in the rhythmic gymnastic world, I am old.
Really?
- My stamina is not as good. - She's 23 but she's a senior.
The next Olympics is held in Tokyo.
Don't you have to enter?
I will be 27 in 4 years.
I will have to think about it.
I think she should enter.
After she retire, she will become like me.
So that's why...
This is pickled abalone.
Should we all taste it?
Let's see how good her mother is at cooking.
Pickled abalone.
There are different levels of saltiness.
It's good.
It's really good.
It's soft.
I wish it was a bit more salty so that I can eat with rice.
To me, it's already too salty.
It's salty to Yeon-jae.
I try not to eat something salty.
If I eat something salty, I have to keep drinking water during practice.
Then I will stomachache.
And you have to go to the restroom.
So I try not to eat something salty or spicy during my season.
Do you like Korean food?
I do.
But I don't like salmon or anything fishy.
This is.. what is it?
Hot chocolate?
Oh, this is hot chocolate?
I like sweets.
It's good for recovering.
When I lived in a dorm In Russia,
I tend to eat those because I didn't like the food there.
Let's move on to the fresh drawer.
We have some vegetables and fruits.
This is wild rocket.
I like veges.
I like salads too.
And fruits.
Grapefruits.
These are grapefruits?
- Do you like them? - I do.
I really like fruits.
She likes salads and fruits.
And sauces...
- Isn't this balsamic? - It is.
Isn't this too?
I really like balsamic dressing so I eat it with veges and tomatoes.
There are different kinds of balsamic dressings?
Ripen balsamic dressing has deeper taste and dense texture.
Then should I buy one and leave it out for a long time?
No you have to ripen it in an oak container.
Ripen..
I see.
It's not like you become a chef for being here for a long time. It's the same.
That made me understand it very well.
Geez.
That was a good one.
Do you drink, Yeon-jae?
I have once had a lot.
When?
- Did something sad happen? - No, I was just curious.
You were curious?
It made me feel good so I understood why people like to drink.
I've never drank because I was curious.
I know.
She doesn't know how to drink. That's why.
People keep ask me if I can legally drink.
They think I am under-aged.
Because they've been seeing you since you were young.
You have to show them.
Drink a ton in front of them.
It will make everything clear.
And we have some grain powders.
I like it.
I really like milk.
- You drink it with milk? - Yes.
- Right here. - She really likes milk.
And we have some cheese.
And Omija concentrate.
I don't see lots of things that belong to her father though.
There are not that much of the father's stuff.
He buys food outside.
Let's move on to the freezer.
First of all, we have some meats.
Pork tenderloins, chicken tenders,
salted mackerel,
and some prime Korean beef.
Frozen shrimps,
Mixed seafood.
And here we have..
stir-fried Korean chili dumplings, boiled dumplings..
It's like a Chinese restaurant!
Chives dumplings..
Why are there so many?
I got them as gifts for Korean Thanksgiving.
We have more on the bottom.
Why are there so many?
- Why are there so many? - There are really a lot!
Are they all for your father?
Isn't it like Old Boy?
Maybe your mother bought what your father can eat for a year at once.
When she was gone for Russia for a year,
it is possible that her father only ate dumplings for all those times.
That's really like Old Boy.
It makes me feel sad.
I should ask if Tae-hyun still wants to raise his daughter as a rhythmic gymnast.
If she can become like Yeon-jae, then..
I will bear with it.
That's how a father feels.
A father can eat dumplings for 5 years, 10 years,
only if his daughter can be good at ribbon gymnastics..
It is okay to eat dumplings until he gets sick of them.
I feel like all parents of sport players do hard work.
Outside the fridge, we have some baguettes.
Strawberry jam.
We will wrap up here. That was it for Yeon-jae's fridge.
Show us what Yeon-jae has asked us for.
Western competition for Yeon-jae.
Dessert competition for Yeon-jae.
What a competition.
Western and desserts.
I spend more time abroad so I eat more of western food.
But I end up eating the same thing over and over again.
So I wanted to ask the chefs for something really good.
It will be good if you can make something new and fresh.
What kind of dessert do you like?
I like pastries, cakes.. I really like sweets.
I want to eat everything without getting stressed out today.
I want something that can make me happy just by looking at it.
Sweets make her happy but she can't eat them because she has to watch for weight.
But it doesn't matter today?
It doesn't matter today.
Good. Let me announce the chefs who will be competing with Yeon-jae's ingredients.
Seed #1 is Choi Hyun-seok with 25 stars.
Seed #2 is Mihal with 22 stars.
Seed #3 is Kim Poong with 21 stars.
And last, Oh Se-deuk with 12 stars.
Chef Oh Se-deuk is seed #4.
We will let Chef Choi choose first.
Western food competition.
it is possible that her father only ate dumplings for all those times.
Wherever you go, it will be tough.
I feel like desserts today.
Desserts!
I want to let her taste what I had a lot when I was young.
Mihal went for the desserts.
I will go for the desserts.
Are you avoiding Chef Choi?
I'm not avoiding.
I've tasted Mihal's desserts a lot at his restaurant.
You can't call Mihal's desserts desserts.
What? What do you mean?
That's tough.
They are not sweet.
I will show her what a dessert is. What a sweet is.
Wow.
I will make a new paradigm.
Automatically, Chef Oh will be placed in Western food competition.
Choi Hyun-seok and Oh Se-deuk.
Tom and Jerry have met.
It's a match between French and Italian.
Let us start the "Western food Competition for Yeon-jae" with Yeon-jae's ingredients.
They are official Tom and Jerry of TGCF.
It's a match between Chef Choi Hyun-seok and Chef Oh Se-deuk.
So far, they are at a tie with 2:2.
They have competed in a western food competition before.
With Park Chan-ho's fridge.
Chef Oh won that match.
He did.
Today, they have to cook similar dish for another sport star.
Do you think it's advantageous for Oh Se-deuk?
I think so.
Chef Choi is on a winning streak of 2.
He has won Infinite's Sung-kyu and GOT7's Jackson's matches.
He has proven that he can fulfill younger generation's taste.
It might be advantageous for him since he has a daughter.
Right, Yeon-jae is 23 years old. Let's see if he can do it again.
The winner of today's match can hold a dominant.
[Chef Choi] Baguette, frozen shrimps, avocado, milk, red wine vinegar, balsamic, etc.
[Chef Oh] Paprika, avocado, yogurt, red wine vinegar, balsamic, grain powder, etc.
What are you making today, Chef Oh?
I'm making "Rhythm-vegetable."
"Rhythm-vegetable."
I like the name.
Are you using lots of veges?
She said she likes sweet.
So I prepared veges that have sweet taste when cooked.
There is a Spain sauce called Romesco sauce.
You normally eat it with fried green onions.
I will try to make it with gran powders since there are not enough nuts.
Does it already exist in this world?
In Spain, yes.
It's called Calsotada.
It seems like he's making a Spanish dish.
I will make fried food for the first time.
Fried food?
That means he's here to win.
I am worried because there are too many steps to it.
I am thinking about 16 steps.
16 steps?
The food I am making today is "Sixth Sense."
"Sixth Sense."
Then does it have a surprise taste at the end?
Maybe it will taste really bad.
Then it won't be appropriate for this match.
I am going to make 6 different tastes.
I think I've brought the most ingredients today.
Actually, there is an Italian dish called Bruschetta.
I will use everything in the fridge..
to let her taste many different flavors.
How many steps is it going to be? He said his has 16.
It will be around 20.
They are going to put lots of efforts into their dishes today.
We are starting the "Western food Competition for Yeon-jae" competition.
Chef Oh, who becomes more threatening to Chef Choi verses
Korea representative Chef Choi who is maintaining good condition since he's jobless.
That's Sixth Sense.
It's been a while since he became jobless.
Who will be chosen by Yeon-jae?
The Western food competition starts now!
15 minutes has started now.
A 15 minute competition for "Western food for Yeon-jae."
Chef Choi is cutting the baguette.
Bruschetta is basically baguettes topped with different toppings.
I've never heard of those.
Can we find them in Korea?
They usually come out as appetizers in Italian restaurants.
Is there a reason why you're putting olive oil?
To make it resistant to water.
I like Bruschetta.
I've had a lot in Russia.
It has to be better than what she had in Russia.
Or it will be another Sixth Sense.
The suspect will be Choi Hyun-seok.
[Fry onion, carrot, paprika, and green onion.]
Is he frying paprika as it is? Without cutting?
Is he supposed to do that?
Is it his first time making fried food?
This is for.. this is.
Tae-hyun has a good point.
It's Chef Oh's first time making fried food.
Maybe he hasn't done it because he doesn't know how.
He fried it and now he's using a torch.
It is to save time.
If I fry first, it will reduce the amount of time to cook paprika.
Else, he has to keep heating it.
[In separate pans, stir-fry frozen shrimps and add pepper.]
[Leave cooked shrimps on a plate.]
[Add butter, flour, and milk to make Cream Shrimps and leave them out.]
They are both very busy.
They are busy than they usually are. Their hands are busy.
[Boil down sugar,cooking wine, soy sauce with ground garlic.]
He's boiling down sugar and soy sauce. It will taste somewhat like teriyaki sauce.
The color has changed.
The color of the green onion has changed.
He's only using the inside.
It must be hot.
He's not throwing away the outside, is he?
No, he's using the outside.
Oh, he's using the outside?
It will add some sweet taste...
No, I'm using the inside.
He said he's using the inside! Raymon Kim!
I feel very doubtful about Raymon Kim.
Raymon Kim gets frustrated whenever Tae-hyun speaks.
He's putting into the sauce...The outside..
[Add red wine vinegar to olive oil and leave with cooked shrimps.]
He's adding salt and pepper.
He's using the sauce from the pickled abalone. Not the abalone though.
He's using the say sauce from pickled abalone.
[Grind avocado, mayonnaise, yogurt and sugar in a blender to make avocado sauce.]
[Mix chopped garlic and olive oil to make garlic oil.]
He's blending paprika, garlic oil, balsamic sauce, and ketchup together.
Is he making a sauce?
Are you making Romesco sauce?
Yes, I am making Romesco sauce.
Originally, it has almonds and other nuts.
But I am using grain powder instead.
I see.
He's putting in ketchup.
Wouldn't sesame seed be better?
No, it will ruin it.
Okay.
It will ruin it.
Chef Oh is making Romesco sauce.
- Was that cheese? - No, Cabbage.
Oh, a fried onion... just like that?
[Take out fried carrot and peel the outside.]
I didn't know you can peel carrots that way.
That's amazing. You can peel carrots that way.
More than a half of time has passed.
We have about 7 minutes left.
They are so busy today.
With hot water.. What is that?
Tomatoes!
[Chop peeled tomatoes and mix with olive oil and salt.]
They are very busy today.
Yeah, they have lots of steps to do.
And they are using too many ingredients.
Chef Choi started to put something on the plate.
He started to put something on top of the baguette.
He's cutting grapefruits.
Yeon-jae really likes grapefruits!
He's already putting them on a plate.
[Mix cooked beef with balsamic dressing and put on top of the baguette.]
He has topped the baguette with beef this time.
He's putting different stuff on each baguette.
I guess there are 6.
(Chef Oh looks very busy...)
(12. Dip the bulgogi beef in the soy sauce. Grill it.)
(13. Put the soy sauce on the cabbage and the onions.)
- That looks like Japanese food. - 9 minutes left.
Time goes by so fast.
5 minutes left. MC Ahn will go over there and get a closer look.
Okay, I will.
I think he's adding cheese to it.
He loos very focused. Okay, cheese and avocado.
(Chef Oh started his plating)
(14. Put the avocado sauce and romesco sauce alternatingly.)
(Very detailed as if he's working on a painting)
(16. Chop the fried carrots and green onions. Put them on the top.)
Okay, he's started decorating.
Should I check out this romesco sauce?
Alright, the romesco sauce!
How does it taste?
- It's good. - How does it taste?
(Makes him do a rhythmic gymnastics?)
(Or is he just Super Mario MC Ahn?)
- Rhythmic gymnastics? - Yes.
They both started their plating. About 2 minutes and 30 seconds left.
- This is so serious. - 2 minutes and 4 seconds.
I think person who can finish earlier will be at an advantage.
(Chef Choi started to stir-fry octopuses)
-He's adding something on the baguette.
- I really wanted to see that. - Oh, really?
(14. Stir-fry octopuses. Add salt, pepper, and olive oil.)
(15. Add arugula, the stir-fried octopuses, and then the lemon peels.)
(4th bruschetta complete!)
(15. Add cream shrimp on the baked baguette.)
(5th bruschetta complete!)
(17. Add arugula and then tomatoes that have been dipped in oil.)
(All six of them complete!)
Alright, six of them.
(He's making something with a paper foil...?)
What are you making? A paper airplane?
Oh, he's trying to add the sauce.
- To decorate it. - Wow.
Oh, wow.
It's so pretty.
It's very pretty. For Yeon-jae, who likes pretty things.
- To make it all pretty. - Adding sauce on individual baguette.
Yes.
- This time, tomato sauce. - He doesn't have much time.
- Only 1 minute left. - Time's almost up.
Somebody should help him make that thing.
- (16. Add baked onions and cabbage.) - This is pretty. All those vegetables.
Rhythm-Vegetables. Specifically for Yeon-jae.
(17. Add the beef that has been soaked in soy sauce.)
It's so hectic.
(18. Mix arugula, red wine vinegar, olive oil and salt.)
- For now, Chef Choi's dish looks prettier. - Oh, it's stuck.
It's not working. Is it okay?
Because the pieces are too big. It's not coming out.
Okay, he cut the tip. He must succeed!
- He has to do it! It has to work! - It's not coming out!
- (Gives up.) - 40 seconds left now. He just threw it away.
Chef Oh needs to finish it up, too.
It got stuck. Oh, he's just going to use chopsticks.
Oh, using hands!
Chopsticks? Like Kungfu panda?
- 20 seconds left. - Chef Oh is almost done.
Looks very good.
- They're really running out of time today. - I didn't know this was possible.
10 seconds now! Ten, nine, eight, seven,
six, five!
four, three, two, one!
Okay, Chef Oh completed his dish first.
Chef Choi is done, too. Good job, both of you.
They are so amazing.
Right?
(Fried vegetables with a special sauce - healthy choice dish)
(Chef Oh's 'Rhythm-Vegetables')
The beef might be salty, so eat everything together. With the sauce and vegetables.
Should I mix the two sauces?
- Yes, mix them. It will be very soft and savory. - Looks delicious.
And you can eat them with the vegetables you want to try.
Alright.
(Trying arugula as well)
Alright, 'Rhythm-Vegetables'.
Yum.
She said, 'Yum'.
- Oh, her body is moving. - Yes.
It's really good.
She looks very happy.
- It's really good. - Is it?
It tastes somewhat familiar but it's new.
'It tastes somewhat familiar but it's new.'
Then it matches the theme of the competition.
- The sauce is really good. - Is it?
- That one? - Yes.
The romesco sauce.
You mince paprika...and I baked garlic to make it less spicy.
- Then you add olive oil and ketchup. - It's really good.
If you use various kinds of grains, it'll make it very savory.
The cabbage is really good.
- The cabbage. - I really love cabbage.
I see. He should have put some more.
- Do you think girls will like it? - Yes.I think so.
Good for young women around 20's~30's.
You should stop eating. You need to try the other one, too.
- It's so good I keep eating it. - You can't stop, huh?
Alright.
(You can choose from 6 different bruchettas)
(Chef Choi's 'The Sixth Sense')
This one is so pretty.
You can eat in order.
- From the left. - Yes.
Is this a grapefruit? Or tomato?
It's tomato. It's the most basic one.
- It's probably something you've tasted before. - (The tomato fell!)
Oh, no.
(Oh, no)
- I dropped it. - It's hard to eat it.
Gosh, it dropped. My goodness.
- You should have made the bread part bigger. - It's too small.
It's tiny.
You had lots of bread.
Yes, if you make it big, it'll be too cliche.
Yeon-jae always cares about her health and body shape.
So this bruschetta symbolizes her.
Are you forcing her to watch her weight or something?
- But the shape is very pretty. - The shape is very pretty.
Okay, she's trying the second bruschetta.
The second one is seafood.
I love seafood the most.
I see.
- It's good. - The third one!
There's a lot.
There are six of them. Hence, 'The Sixth Sense'.
- Octopuses? - No, the meat.
This one is cream cheese and avocado.
Avocado stir-fried with soy sauce.
The first three, I feel like I've tried them before.
- Oh, the first three. - But this one is really new.
Something new, huh?
- Do you like it? - Yes, it's good.
- Okay, this one's beef. - And apples on the top.
Chopped apples.
She looks very surprised.
- This one is shrimp with a bit of red wine vinegar and olive oil. - Okay.
The last one is the shrimp.
- (The grapefruit fell.) - It's really hard to eat this dish.
Won't be good if you're on a date.
It's too big for a beautiful lady like Yeon-jae.
What is it?
The grapefruit is the last one. It's like a dessert. It's a good ending taste.
That's why he put the grapefruit one last.
Shrimps and grapefruits go very well together.
This one's really delicious.
That's why it's the sixth sense.
The twist at the end.
Okay, everyone will try now.
First, Chef Oh's 'Rhythm-Vegetables'. We'll try that.
She said the sauce was really good.
- Oh. - It's true.
Very high quality. Very.
The texture of the cabbage.
The cabbage is really delicious.
This sauce, it creates a harmony among all ingredients.
I think I've tasted something like this before.
Oh, you have?
- I think it's something from a pizza place. - A pizza place?
Maybe it's the sauce?
- In Korea, there's the sweet potato pizza. - Oh, sweet potato!
- The sweet potato pizza! - Oh, I see.
You know that one. On the crust.
Yes, it kinda tastes like that.
The first cuisine I officially started is the Spanish cuisine.
Oh, really?
My first official paid job.
Out of all the romesco I've tried, this one is in top 3.
Really?
I never imagined you could make romesco sauce in just 15 minutes.
It normally takes at least 30 minutes...and more.
- This sauce..it's quite amazing. - Thank you.
This time, we'll try Chef Choi's 'The Sixth Sense'.
On the baguette.
He put all 6 of them..all in one.
(Nodding)
It's very refreshing, like Yeon-jae said.
Yes, very.
The bread...I don't like baguettes.
(All the toppings fell)
He really sounds like Heung-guk.
I dropped the most important ingredient, the shrimp.
The shrimp, it fell on the floor because of the grapefruit.
Here...I'll make it again.
It's supposed to be the twist in the end. Why did you put it in the middle?
Am I supposed to eat it from both ends?
It's so funny to see how flustered Hyun-seok is.
Here, here...I'll make it again.
- I only eat baguette when it's used for the garlic bread. - I see.
When you're too hungry to care.
Gosh, I've never seen an epicure that picky.
He doesn't even know what he's talking about.
When you talk about bruschetta, it's usually a dry bread.
But I think the fact that he baked in olive oil is really creative.
If it hadn't been baked, I think all the taste of all these different ingredients
might have felt like they were disjointed.
When you take one bite, it's so good...it's so juicy because he used the olive oil.
At home, I guess you can make it with a normal white bread loaf.
How about like thin crust, like pizza?
- That'll be great, too. - I should try it like that.
- Alright. - (I should try in Russia, too)
It's time to choose now.
It'll be harder, I think. Because there were so many different opinions.
Number 1 is Chef Oh's 'Rhythm-Vegetables'.
Number 2 is Chef Choi's 'The Sixth Sense'.
- She pressed it. - Yes.
- Are you good now? - Yes.
I wonder whose dish Yeon-jae chose.
It's the competition between the natural enemies. Tom and Jerry.
Right now, the score between them is 2:2.
Which one did Yeon-jae choose?
Show us the result!
Who's the winner?
Show us the result!
Who's the winner?
(Chef Oh Sae-deuk - Winner)
- ('Rhythm-Vegetables' - Winner) - Chef Oh won!
(His dish captivated Yeon-jae's appetite)
It's really like The Sixth Sense.
- It is. - The twist at the end.
I always try hard to eat less carb. I do that habitually...
that's why I thought Chef Oh's dish was a bit better for me.
- I'd be less strained out when I eat it. - I see.
You said you didn't want to care about that today. You wanted to eat freely.
But you still couldn't help but kind of care about what you eat, huh? -
That's why she's a pro.
Congrats, Chef Oh. 13th victory!
Congratulations!
(Chef Oh's 'Rhythm-Vegetables' - Winner)

(Chef Oh Sae-deuk's 'Rhythm-Vegetables' Full Recipe)
This time, it will be a dessert competition for Son Yeon-jae.
('A Dessert Competition For Yeon-jae')
It's Kim Poong against Chef Mihal.
I looked at the data...and I'm very surprised!
The current score between them is 3:3.
Even score.
And if Poong wins against Chef Mihal today,
they'll have the same number of the star badges.
Wow!
What's more shocking is that...Poong has been winning consecutively! 6 times!
Only Chef Lee Yeon-bok has that record so far. 6 victories in a row.
If you look at the history, the first victim was Chef Choi.
Then Chef Sam Kim.
Chef Oh...
And then Min-jun during our special episode.
And then it was Chef Jeong.
If Chef Mihal loses...I'm sure he'll try to challenge Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
- He's going to call him out! - He's going to conquer.
Yes.
- This is like sports. - Yes.
- All the data and everything. - Yes, we do keep all the records.
Maybe later, this will become like a thing in gambling, like how sports is.
Cooking battle gambling?
Maybe not that much but we do give out presents to our audience
who guesses the correct winner through a lottery. So text us to that number.
(Kim Poong's Ingredient Choice: milk, cocoa powder, grapefruit,
cream cheese, cheddar cheese)
(Chef Mihal's Ingredient Choice: balsamic sauce, apple, nuts, strawberry jam,
strawberry yogurt,schizandra berries)
What kind of dessert will you make today, Poong?
The title is, 'Floating Meringue'.
'Floating Meringue'.
It's like Ile Flottante in French. Floating Island in English.
It's a type of warm dessert.
Anybody could do it. I'll use cheddar and cream cheese
to make this sweet cheese sauce.
On top of that, I'll add meringue. And then chocolate.
Ill Flottante is harder to make the Souffle, actually.
- Oh, wow. - If he's challenging himself to make this, he's going all in.
If he succeeds, will he finally earn your approval?
The problem is, I don’t know how it will end up...I'll wait and see.
Alright.
I'm a bit worried because I'm not sure how much Yeon-jae likes sweet food.
I do like sweet food but...when I saw...
how Mr. Kim usually cooks...I was shocked many times...
- It's very hectic. - It looked painful, by just looking at it.
Yes, it'll hurt your teeth because it's so sweet.
- But I still look forward to it. - Alright.
Today, I'm going to make
'Trust Oppa This Once'.
My mother is from Poland. I'm going to make, Pirog, which is Poland's favorite dish.
A seagull (Girugi in Korean)?
It's a dumpling dish.
Oh, dumpling? Is he going to use those dumplings from the fridge?
- Oh, those frozen ones? - Are you using those ones?
How would you make a dessert out of those?
I'm a bit worried about time because I have to make the dumpling wrap.
I guess you can't use those frozen dumplings, huh?
Why can't you? You can just get rid of what's inside. And put your stuffing in.
And just use the wrap part.
- Pirog is thicker. - I see.
- It's like bread. You usually put potatoes and cheese in it. - I see.
Yes, you can put all sorts of stuffing but since she wants a dessert,
I'm going to put some baked apples.
And also schizandra berries sauce.
This is a very important match.
A cooking battle to come up with a dessert for Yeon-jae, we'll get started now.
He who controls sugar controls the world of desserts!
Kim Poong, the sugar controller.
It's him against Chef Mihal, who always comes up with healthy
and visually appealing desserts.
He knows what women wants.
I wonder who will be able to captivate Yeon-jae's appetite!
The cooking battle starts now!
Alright, 15 minutes. You'll run out of time fast.
It has so many procedures.
(1. Separate egg white. Add sugar to it.)
(2. Boil milk in a pot.)
(Swirling)
Are you whipping it?
Okay, he's trying to make meringue. It has to create bubbles.
Oh, is he trying to do rhythmic gymnastics?
(In reality, he just looks like a crazy man...)
- Alright, spinning a ribbon! - Looks relaxed.
- He looks quite relaxed. - Yes. He's trying to make meringue.
He failed the first time.
- He ended up with nothing. - All the chefs had to rotate and help him out.
But he's been improving very much. He's looking to get his 6th victory today.
- He stopped it and.... - He's adding lemon juice.
If you add lemon, that will harden the mixture.
I see.
- Chef Mihal is very quick. - He's slicing apples.
(1. Slice apples.)
- Adding apples. - Yes.
He's adding apples, nuts, butter and sugar. And the balsamic sauce as well.
- Oh, the one in the pan? - Yes.
- He added strawberry jam, too. - Strawberry jam?
It's going to be very sweet.
(Swirling)
(Trying his very best...)
- It looks good? - No, not yet.
No, he needs to do more. When you put it upside down, it shouldn't drip.
- Yes, you have to go like this and check. - Yes. Like he's playing with a ribbon.
Just like Yeon-jae.
- He must be tired. - I understand.
He's all sweaty.
- His arm is shaking. - It's shaking a lot.
(Aftermath of vigorous whipping)
(Had to switch his arm)
Is he using his left arm?
- Yes. - Oh, no...
- It is very difficult. - Yes, yes.
- (4. Mix egg white and lemon juice. Whip the mixture.) - He put too much.
- Good. - Good?
Is it going to drip? Let's see!
It worked. He succeeded.
(Chef Mihal started to make the dough)
Chef Mihal is working on the dough.
- It's almost done. - Yes, he's flattening it out.
So he's going to put something inside that, right?
He is working on the dumpling.
Oh, using fork...
I see. You can decorate it with a fork.
I see.
I guess the sauce will be sweet, huh?
(6. Boil the apple dumplings.)
He's going to boil them?
For pirog, you have to boil them.
It looks exactly like a dumpling.
- It's a water dumpling. - Right.
I wonder if that can win against a very sweet dessert.
He's melting cheese in milk.
Is that sugar?
Is he going to use everything?
Looks like he's going to use the whole bag, really.
- What are you putting in? - Cocoa powder.
Cocoa and sugar...that will be crazy.
It's going to be so sweet.
Okay, he's putting the meringue.
As it floats, the air will go in and it will get hardened.
I see. Alright, he's doing it now!
- You have to flip it. - Time it very well...
- It has to stay together. - He's going for it!
- Alright! - (Success!)
He succeeded.
- And then he's going to take out the whole thing? - Yes, after that,
it's going to look like a floating island.
I see. It's going to float.
About 5 minutes left now.
- I'll go over there and get a closer look. - Alright.
'Trust Oppa This Once' and 'Floating Meringue'.
Is it going to float? It has to float.
It just looks like egg white...will it float?
It has to float! Will it?
Is it going to? Oh?
It's floating!
Yes, it's floating!
I'll try shaking it a little.
It's definitely floating.
'Floating Meringue'.
I'll try the sauce on the bottom.
- The milk? - Yes.
I wonder how sweet it is.
How is it? Will it hurt your teeth?
It's too sweet...it's too much.
- It's hurting your teeth, huh? - It's like baby formula.
It's tastes like baby formula that's too dense.
I think you need to make it less sweet.
- Should I try this one? - Yes, Chef Mihal's.
This is the apple stuffing.
I'll try this.
How sweet is it?
It's actually sweeter than I thought.
- It is? - Yes.
It sweet and sour.
While this one's just really sweet.
- It's just sweet? - Yes.
The dumpling isn't fully cooked yet.
Chef Mihal is boiling the schizandra berries.
- He'll use it for the sauce. - The color looks very pretty.
(10. Add chocolate on the top.)
(Sweet chocolate on top of meringue)
Oh, the grapefruit.
He took out the grapefruit. Yeon-jae liked the grapefruit.
- She liked how Chef Choi used. - But will it go well with that dessert?
- He's adding the grapefruit on top. - I really can't decorate.
Okay, the grapefruit.
(8. Put the schizandra berry sauce on the bottom.)
Chef Mihal is taking out the dumpling.
- It has to...oh, it dropped. - It has to stay together.
(Getting rid of water)
I guess he's done.
He's putting them on a plate.
(10. Sprinkle almond powder.)
(Takes out yogurt and adds it to the schizandra berry sauce)
Chef Mihal is almost done. 10 seconds left now.
Will he win 6 times in a row?
Seven, six, five, four, three...
Kim Poong is done.
1 second. Okay Chef Mihal completed, too.
- It's a heart. - It's so pretty.
- Oh, yogurt. - He added those hearts in the last minute.
The dessert battle has been finished.
(Meringue island floating on the cheese sauce)
(Kim Poong's 'Floating Meringue)
I wonder how sweet it will be.
It's a mixture of cream cheese, cheddar cheese and sugar.
Okay, she's tasting a small portion.
- It's good. - Is it?
- It can't be bad. - Do you like it?
It's good. I can't believe it.
- It's good. I can't believe it. - (Happy)
It's good. She can't believe it.
I thought it was too sweet.
I need to eat this, right?
I wonder how meringue will taste. With the meringue now.
Okay, she's trying it!
- What is this? - 'What is this?'
- She doesn't know what it is. - Is it weird?
The milk part was good though.
- It's a bit sour. - Sour?
- Because of the grapefruit. - Why did you put the grapefruit?
- Why did he do that? - Why the grapefruit?
Because it was too sweet so I wanted to balance it out.
And chocolate goes well with citrus usually so...
Okay.
- This sauce is really good. - I see.
- That's Poong's strength. - Yes?
He first lowers everyone's expectation with a bad visual.
- Right. - Because of the grapefruit, it's a bit...
You don't like the grapefruit? He shouldn't have put it in?
When you make one for us, can you take out the grapefruit?
- He shouldn't have put it in. - Okay..
It's sweet and then it turns sour. And one part is a bit salty.
Here and here...they taste different. And it also tastes different right here.
- One dish but it tastes different every part! - So I keep eating it.
Oh, I see. It adds to it, huh?
One dish but different tastes.
I guess he really is lucky.
(East European-style dumpling dessert with schizandra berry sauce)
(Chef Mihal's 'Trust Oppa This Once')
- It's so pretty. - Yes, three hearts.
- She clapped for the first time. - Mihal's decoration for Yeon-jae.
First, try the pirog only. And then try with the sauce.
Yum.
She's like jumping.
- Is it good? - She's jumping with joy?
She started to move her body finally.
- Poong must be upset. - It's good, huh?
It really doesn't look like a dessert.
But I really wanted to eat a dessert.
But when I actually put it in my mouth, I go 'it is a dessert'.
The apple is really good.
Oh, the apple inside.
- Apple has that sweet taste. - Yes, it does.
It's very fresh and when I eat it, it's so juicy.
- It's very soft. I think it's very juicy. - I see.
You can boil the wrap. Or if you can bake it in oven, it'll be better.
I wanted to bake it.
Yes. Every time Yeon-jae says something, Chef Mihal is adding his explanation.
- The sauce is really tasty. - Is it?
- It's not too sour? - It's not. I like it like this.
You said you like sour taste.
- It has that distinct taste of schizandra berries. - I see.
But I thought there weren't any schizandra berries in Poland.
There's chokeberry.
Oh, but she didn't have it so you used schizandra berries.
That's why I used the grapefruit. Because there were no chokeberries.
Alright.
Okay, everyone will try now.
First, we'll try Kim Poong's 'Floating Meringue'.
It got upgraded.
- Without the grapefruit. - Yes, he took it out.
I took it out and he says it's been upgraded...
It's really like a baby formula.
It's good.
Is it different from the one you tasted before?
(This one is better..!)
- So this is how meringue tastes like. - Yes.
- It's very moist. - Like marshmallow.
Yes, right.
This really isn't my style.
I don't like chocolate.
He's so picky.
But I liked the sauce.
He used very ordinary ingredients but it tastes very special.
He's complimenting the sauce.
I think we should give him credit for the fact
that he was able to make meringue in 15 minutes.
We shouldn’t really talk about the taste. It's not something that anyone can do.
A dessert you can't make in 15 minutes, huh?
Some people might only finish the meringue part.
Professionals think that it's a very difficult desert to make in 15 minutes.
Alright. This time, we'll try Chef Mihal's 'Trust Oppa This Once'.
The sauce is very unique.
The sauce...
Once you eat it, it really tastes like a dessert.
I think it kinda tastes like boiled Korean honey cinnamon pancake.
You're right.
May I just say...Tae-hyun will probably criticize it vigorously...
- I don't think it's his style of food. - (Nodding)
And it's not even his fridge But he's being so picky.
- It's not his fridge. - It's someone else's.
- Yeah, it's not his ingredients. - He's one picky epicure.
I'm so excited about next week.
These chefs will be cooking for Tae-hyun next week. Get ready.
I've never tried these ingredients...boiled.
So it was very unique.
And I think this will be a great menu for preschool teachers maybe...
something that they can try making with children.
It's time to choose.
Looks she she's having a hard time.
Number 1 is Kim Poong's 'Floating Meringue'.
Number 2 is Chef Mihal's 'Trust Oppa This Once'.
When she was trying this one, she was almost jumping.
- Did you press it? - Yes.
If Poong wins, he'll have a higher score than Chef Mihal.
Also, he'll have '6 victories in a row' record, like Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
But this dish...isn't it too...you know to earn that kind of ranking and record?
I mean if this was sports, I'd be very...
- He's more harsh than Heung-guk. - I know.
He's very quiet but he says everything he wants to.
Will Chef Mihal be Poong's victim? Show us whose dish Yeon-jae chose!
Will Poong achieve his 6th victory in a row?
Or will Chef Mihal protect his reputation as a chef?
Please show us whom Yeon-jae chose!
Who's the winner?
Please show us whom Yeon-jae chose!
Who's the winner?
(Chef Mihal - Winner)
(Trust Oppa This Once - Winner)
(His consecutive victories stopped!)
Chef Mihal won.
It ends here....he couldn't get his 6th consecutive victory.
Yeon-jae chose Chef Mihal's dish.
When I choose desserts, I always find myself caught between
something fresh and something sweet.
But this one was sweet and refreshing at the same time. I really liked the sauce.
- I see. Chef Mihal's sauce. - Yes.
How do you feel right now, Chef Mihal?
- Thank you. - (Thank you very much)
If you want to eat it, you should go to Poland. It's a beautiful country.
They have lots of delicious food there.
- You want us to go to Poland just to eat this? - Yes.
It's too expensive.
I should ask, you must be so disappointed, Poong?
I know exactly why I lost today.
What is it?
I had 2 minutes left.
If I didn't have that leftover time, I wouldn't have used the grapefruit.
I see.
Because I had some time left, I wondered what I should do with it.
- So it wasn't originally in your head. - No.
- Because you had some leftover time. - Yes, it was because of that.
I think that was the biggest reason.
- So don't try to copy. - Yeah, don't.
- Just do what you usually do. - Go by your feel.
Chef Mihal's 23rd victory!
Congratulations.
(Chef Mihal's 'Trust Oppa This Once' - Winner)
Here is Tae-hyun's fridge!
I think my wife made that.
- This picked seafood? - She made it.
- She made this, too? - Yes.
She made it herself? Wow, it's amazing.
- Hey, honey. - Great news! They're going crazy over here.
(Letting his wife know that she is a great cook)
Raymon Kim, he came back to revenge to Chef Sam Kim.
I have to win today.
If you lose again, you'll now go by your real name.
Cheer up, Chef Duk-yoon!
(The real match begins now!)
Looks very fierce!
(Silent yet strong, Chef Sam Kim)
They both look so serious.
Will he be able to redeem his reputation?
What are you doing?
I want to take some home.
