Today's guests! Singers with amazing voices! Gummy and Hwan-hee.
- You're very beautiful. - Thank you.
That's why one must go on a date.
On one particular website, many people searched for, 'How to Date like Gummy'
What do you do?
I try to put myself in his shoes and think about the situation again.
So that is Jeongseok(Basic principle) of dating?
2014-2015 Final Evaluation!
The final 1st place winner will receive this trophy of honor.
Will Chef Choi be able to make it into Top 3?
Currently, they're both ranked 3rd. Mihal and Choi Hyun-seok.
You have to get rid of water thoroughly.
- He's trying hard to appeal himself. - So much effort.
Which one did Gummy choose?
Chef Choi Hyun-seok! He's the 3rd place winner!
That must've been a very difficult decision.
You two are like the best singers in this country.
Among many inquiries that our audience gave us...
you both have very unique names.
How do you call each other? Do you say, 'Hey, Gummy'?
- I call him 'Yoon-seok'. - Oh, that's his real name?
- Hwang Yoon-seok. - Oh, Hwang Yoon-seok.
Then how do you call Gummy?
I also call her by her real name, Ji-yeon.
Oh, Park Ji-yeon.
Why did you choose 'Gummy(spider)' as your name? There are lots of other insects.
Because other insects can't escape from a spider once they get caught in its web.
So I wanted to captivate people with my music.
'Once they fall for your music, they can't escape'.
Back in those days, there're many female solo singers that had an 'L' in their names.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
Lyn, Lisa, Liz, Linae...there were so many.
I thought that kind of pretty names didn't really suit me.
I just liked 'Gummy'.
It has a mysterious feel to it, too.
What about you, Hwan-hee? Who came up with that name?
Mr. Lee Soo-man did when I was in SM Entertainment.
You see the word 'Hwanhee(happiness, joy)' everywhere basically.
Right, like 'fantasy'.
That's why he made that name for me. Hoping that my name will be mentioned everywhere.
At first, I didn't like it.
But there's 'Kangta', and 'Jeonjin'.
And I thought mine was better than theirs.
You thought it's better than 'Kangta' and 'Jeonjin'.
I thought my name was less weird than theirs.
So people used to say 'Kangta' + 'Hwan-hee'= Fanta.
Lots of people said stuff like that.
I see. I didn't know there was this kind of inside story.
Do you think the name 'Hwan-hee' fits him?
You've never seen him being depressed, dark, or gloomy?
I haven't but...
As you can see, he's a macho man.
And he can be very shy.
He acts like he's a cold person
but when you get to know him, he's very gentle and sweet.
- So he's like a bad guy style? - Yes.
I'm really not 'a bad guy'.
- I can be really sweet. - But you act as if you were indifferent?
It's because I get embarrassed.
- Because I'm shy. - Oh, really?
But when you talk about 'a bad guy' style... it only works if you're good looking.
- Right. - If you're ugly and bad...
then they call you 'bastard'.
Don't you agree?
If you're handsome, then you're just a bad guy.
Let's just assume that Gummy doesn't have a boyfriend right now.
Just imagine, what if Hwan-hee was your boyfriend?
I don't want that.
Because if you have a boyfriend like Hwan-hee, I would be worried all the time.
Because so many girls like him. He's so popular.
Then what about Mr. Jung-suk (Gummy's real boyfriend)?
You don't need to get worried when you're with him?
Oh...I didn't think of that part.
She made a mistake.
Dating Hwan-hee will make you worry but with Jung-suk, there's nothing to worry.
She trusts him because he is her current boyfriend.
You're not seeing anybody?
No, I'm not.
- Really? - Yes, I don't have a girlfriend.
When was the last time you were dating someone?
It's been a while. It was actually a rather painful breakup.
- So I listened to... - Apparently, he listened to my songs a lot back then.
- Really? - I still remember.
Like 'Memory Loss'?
And like 'You Are My Everything'. Yeah, I have some memories about that.
- That song is a soundtrack from a drama? - Yes.
'Descendants of the Sun', it was filmed in advance.
So the music director showed me some important scenes in advance.
So I had an idea of how I should sing the song.
You're both amazing musicians. You must have a lot in common musically.
By any chance, among each other's songs...
was there any particular song that you wanted to sing yourself?
Umm... 'Even Though My Heart Hurts'.
Can you please sing it for us right now?
Even thought it hurts I laugh like this
It's the first time my eyes have been satisfied.
Wow.
It has a different feel when she sings it.
I've never seen her being so shy while singing.
It's all guys in here right now.
She probably feels like she's in men's sauna right now.
What about you, Hwan-hee? Among Gummy's songs...
'Memory Loss'.
It will go well with his voice.
Can you sing it for us?
'Memory Loss' sung by Hwan-hee.
I can't see. I have yet
to hold onto one of my loves
and with fumbling hands I looked for your picture
- Like that? - (Bravo)
Wow.
He's so good.
It's not even their songs but they added different feel to it.
Hwan-hee, I heard that you used to own a restaurant.
Very briefly, I was just trying out what I was interested in.
From that experience, I heard that you learned one know-how.
By only looking at chefs' faces,
Hwan-hee can tell which one is a diligent worker.
How can you tell? I think you need to explain well.
It's not like I ran the restaurant for a long time.
There were some incidents...in the restaurant.
When something goes wrong, or if there's trouble...
there was this person who just disappeared.
- Just runs away. - (Laughing especially loud)
If things don't go his way, then he'd just not come to work.
- Without telling you? - Right.
I had a real hard time with that.
Yes, as the owner, that kind of incident is....
So what do you look at when you hire chefs?
Generally, married men, who tend to dress up well...
those kind of men tend to create trouble, in my experience.
(married, over-dressed, quit his work recently)
(Unbelivable accuracy!)
I'm sure it's not Chef Choi but...
he's just saying that they have a higher possibility of doing that.
Let's end it like that.
Okay, assume that you'll be opening up a restaurant soon.
And say that these 8 chefs came to apply.
If you have to only choose one to work with...
Well, I'd choose him because he doesn't look like he's going to just run away.
I think he's very trustworthy.
He looks very dignified.
It seems like he is less likely to run away, huh?
Alright, with the skills you learned as the restaurant owner,
please give us honest and scrupulous evaluations today.
- I can be very honest. - Yes, we want that.
We'll be expecting very honest evaluations.
2014-2016 Final Evaluation.
The big match awaits us today. We'll see the final first place winner of this season.
I'm going for the 1st place.
Looking at that trophy, now I really want to win.
The final championship match! It starts now!
You cannot make any mistake today. It's the final match.
They both look so serious today.
Very serious. Things are very intense right now.
Is it going to be Chef Lee Yeon-bok or Chef Sam Kim?
Who will get his hands on this trophy?
We'll take a look at Hwan-hee's fridge now.
- Do you live with your parents? - Yes., with my mother.
You used to live with Brian, right?
Yes, since when I was 18.
We were roommates until 2005.
And then until 2014, I lived alone.
It's been about 2 years since I started living with my parents.
Oh, really?
Why did you move back in with your parents?
My mother is ill right now.
So I moved back. But I'm not of much help...
- But still... - Right. I thought I should stay close to her.
Good decision.
- He's a good son. - He is.
Your family isn't big, right?
It's just me, my mother and my father.
So I guess there isn’t that much food in the fridge.
No. We usually just...live very simple.
So there isn't much.
I wonder what we'll find in Yoon-seok's place.
Here is Hwan-hee's fridge!
- Wow. - It's true.
Here is Hwan-hee's fridge!
(Very clean)
It's very clean.
- It's so empty and bright(Hwanhada). - That's why my name is Hwan-hee.
Very empty...
And I can kinda tell that your mother cleaned the fridge recently.
Our fridge was always on the clean side.
Even though she's ill, my mom always keeps the house very clean and neat.
- Oh, it must be her habit. - Yes.
We'll take a closer look. Starting with the 1st shelf.
- We see eggs. - Eggs.
Gummy said she likes eggs, too.
I can eat eggs every meal and I'd still love them.
Really?
I guess singers like eggs.
I ate a lot of boiled eggs when I used to work out. So I don't like that much.
But I love fried or scrambled ones. I often make them on my own.
Okay, so he likes eggs.
Is this...a cereal?
It has a spoon in it.
Oh, that's for my dog.
Whenever I'm eating,
he always comes and asks for food.
He's 13 years old. So he's like older than me.
- What is his name? - It's Benji.
Benji. Big brother Benji?
Yeah, I call him 'Big brother Benji'.
The entire 1st shelf is filled with food for Benji.
Its Benji shelf.
Be careful when you take your ingredients, chefs.
Don't use stuff from the 1st shelf.
The eggs are okay. Wait, are they for Benji, too?
No, no.
I think you need to be very careful.
And the second shelf looks especially clean.
Looks like it's been cleaned very recently.
It's strangely neat and simple.
What was on this shelf? Honestly speaking?
There were probably...some expired food on that shelf.
Because some things just sat there for a long time.
The food that didn't expire on that shelf...is hot pepper paste.
- And soy paste. - Yes, that doesn't expire.
These are safe. This one's almost empty.
- Ones that didn't expire. - We usually make something simple.
And canned whelk. Things that have a long expiration date.
Yes, that doesn't get expired fast.
I guess rest of them were all trashed.
That's how we assume it.
But these....they're coins.
Coins don't expire, either.
Older the more valuable.
I'm not sure why she put them in there.
I think she was trying to get rid of odor.
- Oh, like air freshener. - Is it effective?
Copper works well.
But that sucks in odor. So you have to take them out regularly and put them back in.
- You have to change the coins, too. - I see.
That's a great tip from Hwan-hee's mother.
And on the 3rd shelf, there's yellow radish.
That's for kimbop.
My mom loves kimpbop.
She always makes them for me.
I don't really like kimbop that much.
Your mother actually just told us something.
There's a reason why she makes kimbop a lot.
To make Hwan-hee eat vegetables.
I see.
She wants you to eat lots of vegetables even though you don't like them.
That's why she makes kimbop very often.
You still need to learn more. I mean, you're a good son.
But you didn't know why your mother makes kimbop all the time.
When your mother makes something, do you usually just eat it
even if it's something you don't like?
If she says, 'son, eat this', then do you eat it?
I do, I really do.
I'm not picky about food generally.
But there's one particular food I don't eat.
- What is it? - I don't eat curry.
- Curry? - But curry's so good.
I ate so much curry when I was living alone.
Like Japanese curry. And that's why I don't like kimbop either.
I try to avoid eating them now.
Curry has lots of vegetables, too. I guess that's why my mother makes them often.
- You don't like vegetables? - No, I like them
But my mom doesn't know because we've been living apart for so long.
She probably still remembers me as when I was younger. When I didn't like vegetables.
Oh, that's why, huh?
That's why she keeps giving me vegetables.
Right now, I really lie vegetables but she's giving me too much.
She doesn't know that your diet changed.
And below that...
- (Speaking of devil) - (Curry powder)
Curry!
This one's almost empty. But she always has extra one prepared.
- Yeah, she always has it ready. - I think you'll be eating more curry.
For your mother.
And we see lots of vegetables as well.
- Oh! - There are more eggs.
There are more eggs.
Wait a minute, then the top ones are really for Benji?
No, I don't feed eggs to Benji.
Why did she put them in different shelves?
Maybe because I love them so much. I eat so many eggs.
- They're from different companies. - It's different.
Oh, we just heard back from your mother again.
According to your mother,
the bottom ones are fertile eggs, specially for Yoon-seok.
The one on the top, they're just normal eggs for the father.
Their prices are different.
She hid the good ones in the bottom shelf.
- You didn't know, right? - No.
He didn't know.
(Funny but sad...)
Doesn't care about what fathers eat...
But the son has been fertile eggs all this time.
She just puts the normal eggs on an open shelf...
He might have accidentally ate Benji's food.
Eggs for the dad. Eggs for the son.
When I go home tonight, I'm gonna check the fridge.
Me, too.
- I can so relate to this. - My kids love eggs, too.
And then, the freezer!
We see some seaweed for kimbop.
So that she can make kimbop whenever she wants to.
- And this is... - Chicken breast.
- And fish. - Yes.
I prefer seafood over meat.
Wow, you guys are so similar.
Look at these abalones.
My fans gave me very good quality abalones as a gift.
Because they're good for your health.
These are all abalones.
One time, my mom made abalone porridge for me,
but it tasted so fishy. It became a trauma.
So since then, I haven't been able to eat it that well.
Today, the chefs will cook for you so wouldn't it be okay?
I want to try a dish that has abalone in it, to help me get rid of this trauma.
I hope we can achieve that today.
- That's frozen beef soup. - I see.
A bread.
Nurungi.
- Do you like nurungi? - I love them.
I usually don't eat breakfast.
But when my mom makes nurungi, I always stay to eat it.
I loved it since I was very young.
I don't think you can make nurungi with electronic rice maker.
- My mom makes it herself. - Using a traditional pot?
In his house, nurungi is superior to meat.
Nurungi is right here.
And inside there's something. I was wondering what it was.
This is beef.
But it got pushed over by this. It's like all frozen.
He loves seafood.
Okay, so we'll wrap up here.
So we got to see the inside of Hwan-hee's fridge.
We'll be using the ingredients from his fridge to do the final evaluation.
And we'll have a final 1st place winner.
Yes, today he'll become a legend.
We need to decide the match-ups.
This is the list of chefs who will be competing.
With total 28 victories, they're currently both ranked 1st.
Chef Lee Yeon-bok and Chef Sam Kim will compete for the final first place.
And Chef Oh, 7th place, and Chef Jeong Ho-young,
who's ranked 8th currently.
Let's take a look at Hwan-hee's requests for today!
'I still smile like this even though I'm eating abalone'
- Should we hear him sing? - We're too terrible.
- Please sing for us. - Please do.
'I still smile like this even though I'm eating abalone'
- That's what I'm talking about. - Superb.
'A dish that will make Yoon-seok happy(Hwanhee)'
It has both Yoon-seok and Hwanhee in the phrase.
Alright, the first one.
- I kinda mentioned it already but... - Right.
I have a trauma because of that fishy taste from the porridge.
I'm very curious to see how the chefs' dishes will help me overcome this trauma.
Maybe, things might go wrong and you might never want to eat abalone again.
You might just give up.
Yes, it could be possible.
This is a very important moment for you.
And the second one, 'A dish that will make Yoon-seok happy'. Please explain to us.
I've never been to any famous restaurants owned by famous chefs.
I've been wanting to but I still haven't gone.
I'd love to try their best dishes.
Something they're best at.
So you're like, 'just bring me what you think you're most good at'.
No, it's more like...I eat everything very well so...
We'll give
Chef Sam and Chef Lee a privilege to choose first.
When the ingredients are limited, it's a bit...hard for me.
Because I want him to try various ingredients.
So I want to do 'A dish that will make Yoon-seok happy' cooking battle.
- Are you okay with this, Chef Sam? - Yes, I'm good with that.
- I really love vegetables, too. - Right. That's a good news.
So automatically, Chef Oh and Chef Jeong will be doing
the abalone dish cooking battle. Are you okay with that?
- I have no choice. - Are you okay, Chef Jeong?
Yes, since many Japanese dishes use abalones, too.
I think I'll be fine.
2014-2016 Season Take Good Care Of The Fridge Final Match.
We'll soon start cooking battles using the ingredients from Hwan-hee's fridge.
The first match is Chef Jeong vs. Chef Oh.
With 13 victories, Chef Oh is currently ranked 7th.
With 11 victories, Chef Jeong is currently ranked 8th.
Chef Jeong's ranked 8th but...
He's won 3 times in a row so he's quite confident.
Yes, he won against Chef Lee Won-il, Chef Lee Yeon-bok and Kim Poong recently.
He's soaring high these days.
And I heard that he's getting lots of love from his mother.
Heard that she now makes dinner for him.
- And also being loved by his wife, too. - Getting some kisses.
He says he's happy to go home these days.
Says he goes home very early these days.
On the other hand, Chef Oh is...
he lost twice in a row recently.
Things aren't really working out for him.
I remember. Chef Oh made this bibimbop with abalones.
When I was competing against Chef Lee Chan-oh. In 'Romantic dish for autumn' battle.
He can remember all that?
- Did you lose that time? - I did.
And last year, I competed against Chef Mihal with a similar theme.
I want to win this year.
You lost in the final match last year?
Yes. It's when we had Park Jin-hee as our guest.
Wow, he remembers all that.
I guess he doesn't let things go.
How can he remember all that stuff from last year?
He's kinda scary.
I wonder...who are the people that Chef Oh has grudge against?
Alright, here comes the death note.
Oh my.
The chefs against whom Chef Oh never won...
they all left our program.
(A shocking ending)
- They were afraid that me might revenge. - This is scary.
Chef Oh's curse?
I thought he was a good person. I didn't know he was just holding it all in.
Maybe at his home, he has all these names written in red pen.
Chef Jeong, you must be so scared. If you win this match, things will get complicated.
I think his mustache grew longer in just a few seconds.
- You didn't know about this? - No.
He holds grudges and doesn't let go.
I know.
(Chef Oh: abalone, chicken breast, nurungji, paprika, etc.)
(Chef Jeong: abalone, eggs, seaweed, shrimps, pumpkin, chives, etc.)
Chef Jeong, what are you going to make today?
Today, I'm going to make...
Every day, every night,
I miss you, abalone.
(Full of R&B feel)
It's called 'Abalone, Missing You'.
What is it supposed to sound like originally?
Every day, every night, I miss you, abalone.
That's the song. Sounds so different.
How did he sing it?
Every day, every night, I miss you, abalone.
You, you, you....
Good job, still.
It's 'Abalone, Missing You'.
I'm going to make a pasta with abalones.
A Japanese cuisine chef is going to make a pasta?
I thought about it and I realized that I won against Chef Oh multiple times
when I do western food.
- Really? - So I'm going to make western style food.
He's right. It's a higher possibility.
When Baro came out as a guest, he made that chicken tomato sauce.
- What? - He used pork and chicken.
(Goosebumps)
You're scaring me, Chef Oh.
It's either that he's a genius. Or he just puts all his energy into this show.
So you're going to make a pasta?
I'll blanch the abalones and separate the inner parts.
Then I'll mix them with wine and make a sauce.
Then I'll stir-fry the abalones with pasta noodles.
On to top, I'll put onsen egg,
then put the bread crumbs, which I'll make with soboro bread.
I’m going to fry the onsen egg and put it on the top.
If that fails, I'll just put the onsen egg only.
He even has Plan B prepared.
The title of my dish is...
'Fly To The Abalone'.
It's will be similar to Jambalaya.
Oh, Jambalaya.
When Spanish came to America,
they used tomato sauce to make this.
And when you do that, you get creole sauce.
Instead, I'll use abalone inner parts to make the sauce.
And to get rid of the fishy taste, I'll use red ginseng.
If you put just a little, you can get rid of that taste.
The ingredients are very simple.
It's going to be abalone-centered type of dish.
Your explanation sounded a bit complicated but...
it seems like you have your plan to get rid of the fishy taste of abalones.
We'll go ahead and get started now.
'In my kitchen, my dish is the best'.
It's Chef Oh the appetite hunter
against Chef Jeong,
who is determined to get his 4th consecutive victory.
Will Hwan-hee be able to overcome his abalone trauma today?
The 15 minute cooking battle starts now!
It's the abalone dish cooking battle.
There are many people who can't eat abalones because of the fishy taste.
Right. It's not only Hwan-hee. I mean it's good for your health but it has that taste.
Some people can't eat it because of its particular smell and taste.
- Oh, look. - He's trying to make onsen egg.
You can cook eggs just like that?
They don't need to be fully cooked. If you put them
in 80 Celsius degree water for about 10-15 minutes, it'll be enough.
Oh, it will be?
- Are they fertile? - Yes.
The fertile eggs reserved only for the son.
- What did you say? - The bread crumbs...
- The bread what? - Just the bottom part...
What did you say?
Please just tear the bottom part into small pieces.
Okay.
(Immediately reacting to his politeness)
Are you trying to train the chefs or something?
Say, 'please peel the shrimps for me'. I'll do it.
Please peel the shrimps for me.
Are you trying to train the chefs or something?
Well, if they need my help, they gotta be polite.
(3. Slice seaweed into thin pieces.)
(4. Chop onions, garlic, shrimps, pumpkins and chives.)
He just added boiling water directly onto abalones.
Then it'll be easy to separate the parts.
- The inner parts. - Oh, the inner parts.
It eats seaweed, so that part is the most nutritious part.
But it also tastes very fishy. So some people like it while some really hate it.
I see. So that part is the most nutritious part.
(3. Slice chicken breast. Season with salt and pepper. Grill them.)
(4. Chop onions. Grill them with chicken breast.)
- Is that nurungji? - Yes.
Oh, he's using nurungji as well?
Yes.
Since Chef Jeong is more familiar with handling abalones,
- Right. - He's very fast.
(6. Blend the abalone inner parts with wine...)
(to make the sauce.)
They're cutting abalones at the same time.
Isn't this the first time Chef Jeong is cooking pasta noodles?
Yes.
You're not supposed to put the noodles like that.
You have to stir them like this while putting them in.
Oh, Chef Jeong...
He just put them all at once.
Oh, no. He looks flustered.
Chopsticks aren't edible.
He's shaken because of what Poong said.
He looks very shaken.
(9. Stir-fry abalones, shrimps, pumpkins, onions, salt and pepper. )
(10. Add the abalone sauce and soy sauce. Keep stir-frying.)
Now that I think about it, Chef Jeong is the only one who doesn't wear an apron.
Right. Why don't you wear an apron?
Because it's too small for me.
It doesn't fit because of your belly?
Why did you have to make a comment about that?
You're so mean.
- I was just... - He had a sad reason.
I thought he had another important reason.
Now that it's a final round, everyone's slandering each other.
- I like this. - I like this kind of atmosphere.
- Division. - Internal division.
- Conflicts. - I love them.
(After stir-frying onions)
Can you tell us a quick tip about how to get rid of the fishy taste?
If you use sesame oil, it'll help very much.
Okay, sesame oil.
(8. Blend abalone inner parts, stir-fried onions
and red ginseng together. Add sesame oil.)
Alright!
I think he just ate some red ginseng.
It will reduce the fishy taste. If you put too much, it'll be too bitter.
He's using sesame oil.
(9. Microwave the mixture of hot pepper powder, garlic, and cooking oil)
(to get the hot pepper oil)
(10. Add hot pepper oil to #9.)
Wow.
Oh, it smells fantastic.
- Fantastic? - What is?
- Smells so good. - I want to try, too.
Really? Okay, we'll get a closer look now.
Seems like he got rid of the fishy taste. Let's check.
Try it.
How is it? Is it fishy?
Hwan-hee...
(Slowly, his smile turns into a frown)
What is it?
I guess the end taste is different.
It's fishy? In the beginning it wasn't?
I think it needs more time.
He was going to say, 'no need to worry' but then...
- I think it needs more time. - Really?
(Mincing soboro bread)
(To make bread crumbs)
(Putting onsen eggs in a bowl...)
They're not ready yet.
(11. Mix flour and water. Add onsen egg then fry them.)
- You're trying to fry the soboro? - Yes.
Oh, the bread crumbs.
Let's check how Chef Jeong's abalone sauce taste.
How is it? Is it fishy?
Does he need to be worried?
I think he should just give up on eating abalones in this life.
Both chefs haven't been successful yet.
No, they must make it successful.
I could taste it slightly at the end.
Then people with abalone trauma won't be able to over come that trauma.
I hope they can make it work.
(12. Add the sauce and abalones to the stir-fried nurungi.)
- Are you trying to make udon noodles? - What are you doing?
- I think it's done. - Are they good to go?
He was just hungry.
You kinda look like a toad today, Chef Jeong.
When you just ate that past noodle, you looked like a toad.
It's different from udon noodles.
Then should I try this udon style pasta noodles?
He made them like udon noodles?
(12. Stir-fry the pasta noodles together with other ingredients.)
He looks very busy.
(Takes out a suspicious looking ingredient)
(Could it be...?)
This is the legendary MSG!
So he's going to get rid of the fishy taste with this?
With MSG?
I'm sure of it.
He's putting more!
He's putting so much MSG!
He'll be able to get rid of fishy taste with this.
You can have the star badge, my gosh.
(Tasting the pasta after adding the magic powder)
- Is it good? - (It's delicious)
Of course. If you put this in, it'll be delicious.
(13. Put the abalone jambalaya on a plate.)
(14. Chop the white part of green onion. Wash with cold water.)
I think it's getting burnt.
- What is? - The soboro bread.
45 seconds left.
But I did all that to help.
You don't have time.
- The onsen egg. - What is he going to do?
You have to go save the soboro.
- No, just give up on soboro. - Save the onsen egg at least.
The one you were working on.
20 seconds left now.
Chef Oh, you need to wrap up as well.
20 seconds left now. Chef Oh, you need to wrap up as well.
(16. Put the onsen egg on top to finish it)
Oh, he started his plating.
Six, five, four, three...
- He's done. - He's done.
Chef Oh finished as well.
It's raw egg...It's raw...
Oh my goodness.
Maybe the topic I gave them was too difficult.
This looks like Poong's cooking.
(Stir-fried abalone pasta)
(Chef Jeong's 'Abalone, Missing You')
So I have to eat abalone twice?
I understand why he's worried. He as a trauma about that.
The egg is slightly raw. So the egg might taste more fishy.
For now, don't mix them together yet.
Tell us honestly.
Try the pasta first. And then if you think it needs more flavor, eat it with the egg.
- I'll try it. - Okay.
Pasta only this time.
He looks very serious.
He's like, I like this...but in reality, you look...
- He's like flinching. - I'm going to try some more.
Okay, he's mixing them.
The noodles, they're very tangy.
- Are they fully cooked? - Yes.
As he mentioned, I do taste a bit of abalone...at the end.
- You could taste it already? - No...
- Your hands are shaking. - My hands usually do that.
He hasn't even tried the abalone yet though.
- I'll try the abalone. - Alright, he's going to try!
Finally! With onsen egg!
We're very nervous.
With abalone and pasta.
He must be very nervous. He has a trauma about that.
- Oh, it's good. - Alright!
(Relieved)
I don't think it has that fishy taste.
I think these chives kinda covered that fishy taste.
- The chives. - I guess...
that was the important factor.
(Korean style jambalaya made with abalone sauce + nurungji)
(Chef Oh's 'Fly To The Abalone')
It smells like mapo tofu.
Oh, that's what it smells like? Do you see abalones?
I think it's like camouflaging. I can't distinguish it from chicken.
I'll try all at once.
Okay. He can't tell if it's chicken or abalone.
He's trying Chef Oh's dish now. 'Fly To The Abalone'.
- His face looks serious. - I know.
It could be very sensitive. He must be very nervous.
Because of the trauma.
- I can't tell if its chicken or abalone. - Really?
They're all mixed together.
And I love nurungji.
I love how crispy it is.
Oh, he made it so you can't taste the abalone.
Oh, it's there? Okay, he's trying it with the abalone.
He has a bad memory about the fishy taste of abalones.
- Is it okay? - I can't taste it at all.
- You can't even tell if it's there? - It feels like I'm eating chicken.
Tastes like chicken that's very chewy.
- Is it good? - It's really good.
- Really? It's also delicious? - It has a different charm.
How would you describe it? It kinda looks salty.
No, not at all.
It's not too salty?
He's eating so well.
It's slightly spicy.
Oh, spicy.
I really like spicy stir-fried rice.
Kinda tastes like Sichuan style stir-fried rice.
The chicken and abalone are so chewy and savory.
'I smile like this even though I'm eating abalones...'
Do you think you can smile while eating this?
Yes, if it's these two dishes, I think I can.
Alright, that's good.
I think they were able to help him overcome his abalone trauma.
Everyone will try now.
First, Chef Jeong's 'Abalone, Missing You'.
'Every day, every night. Abalone, Missing You'.
With pasta noodles.
- It has a very unique taste. - Right?
Gummy, you said you don't eat really eat noodles other than glass noodles.
- How did you like it? - It's very good.
In fact, it tastes less fishy when you eat the abalone by itself.
Oh, when you try only the abalone.
I think the taste kinda soaked into the pasta.
Very savory. It's really delicious.
It does taste slightly fishy at the end.
Some might say that it's too fishy.
But generally speaking, I think he was successful in getting rid of the fishy taste.
This time, we'll try Chef Oh's dish.
'Fly To The Abalone'.
The sesame oil smells so good.
You also used abalone inner parts, right?
Yes, I minced them to make the sauce.
I feel like I taste it...
but it's not that usual fishy smell.
He used lots of hot pepper oil and pepper to cover the fishy taste.
Because those taste so strong.
And that strong taste completely hides the fishy taste.
The chefs were supposed to come up with abalone dishes that will make Hwan-hee smile.
Which one made you smile more?
Number 1 is Chef Jeong's dish. Number 2 is Chef Oh's dish.
Thankfully, he overcame his trauma today.
- Did you press it? - Yes.
Okay, he pressed it.
He can't look them in the eye.
Which one tasted better?
'I Smile Like This Even Though I'm Eating Abalones' cooking battle!
Which dish made you smile more?
'I Smile Like This Even Though I'm Eating Abalones' cooking battle!
Which dish made you smile more?
Who is the winner?
Chef Oh Sae-deuk!
('Fly To The Abalone' - Winner)
Chef Oh is the winner!
Stir-fried rice defeated pasta.
The pasta was really good, too.
But I feel like I'd eat that in restaurants.
And this one, it's a simple dish that you can make at home.
So I thought it was better for me. And I also really love nurungji.
- Right, right. - They were both so delicious though.
Chef Oh, you lost in the final match in 2015.
But in 2016 final match, you won.
I'm very happy that I won.
I'm glad that I was able to escape from Chef Oh's Death Note.
You escaped from him. If he writes your name in that notebook, you might disappear.
With this match, he's got total 14 victories this year. Congratulations!
(Chef Jeong - 8th, Chef Oh - 7th)
('Fly To The Abalone' Full Recipe)
We all have been waiting for this moment.
2014-2016 season final evaluation.
We'll find out the final 1st place winner today.
He is the guardian of vegetables with his naturalistic method of cooking.
Of Course, Chef Sam is...
He's going to make vegetable broth and use that.
- But he has a secret weapon. - He's putting MSG in.
It's Kim Hee-tae!
Kim Hee-tae!
Are you going to make a naturalistic dish?
I am going to.
(During the last match against Chef Lee)
The winner is Sam Kim!
Well I'm glad I won with a vegetable dish.
With his vast knowledge and experience...Let me introduce Chef Lee Yeon-bok!
43 years of experience in Chinese cuisine!
Oh, he's using the back of the blade.
It's very overwhelming.
Lee Yeon-bok!
It's a battle between Chef Lee Yeon-bok and Chef Sam Kim.
We'll have the final champion today.
They both have total 28 victories. They're both ranked 1st currently.
The winner of this match will be able to take this trophy home tonight.
Chef Choi keeps staring at it like this.
- I feel so bad. - Maybe we should make one more of this.
Take a closer look at it. You are like staring at it so intensely.
Wouldn't it be nice if you can put it somewhere in your restaurant?
If you look at the scores when they competed against each other,
Chef Lee won 4 times. And Chef Sam won three times.
So it's 4:3. Very close.
Tell us honestly, are you determined to win today?
Just the fact that I'm here doing a final match with Chef Lee...
That itself is a great honor to me.
Right, right.
Until now, I didn't really care about winning.
But now that I see that trophy, I think I must win today.
It's a beautiful trophy.
Until now, he's never said something like that.
Hwan-hee must feel very burdened right now. More than anyone.
It's a special moment of this season.
I feel very pressured because I have to decide the result of this match.
It's the final match in 2016.
You have to decide who will be the legendary winner of Take Good Care Of The Fridge.
Looks like he's getting old.
Yes, sudden aging.
(Chef Sam Kim's Ingredient Choice)
(Chef Lee Yeon-bok's Ingredient Choice)
Chef Sam, what are you going to make today?
I'm going to make...
'First place Gajami(Flatfish)'
I can tell that he's really determined to win today.
It says in the title of his dish.
I saw that he has some flatfish in his fridge.
I'm going to make a very unique dish using flatfish.
And I'll be also using potatoes and pumpkins.
I'll make round shaped ratatouille.
And cook it in the oven. And I'll use garlic, butter and fish to make a special sauce.
The first dish I made on this program was
'Wonso Jjamppong'
'Wonso Jjamppong', right.
So today, to wrap up 2016 season...I'm going to make 'Wonso Tofu'.
I'm going to make 'Wonso Tofu'.
'Wonso Tofu'. Is it a tofu dish?
Yes, I'm going to mince shrimp and whelk and use that as stuffing.
I'll make some wontons with those and steam them. And I'll make mapo tofu style sauce.
Since he doesn't have any Chinese sauces,
I'll use hot pepper, green onions, garlic and beef to make a similar one.
And I saw he has some nurungji. I'll put fry it
and put them on the side and he can eat it with the sauce.
Alright. Should we get started then?
We'll start the battle now.
Master of Chinese cuisine.
He sure is the expert of our program. Chef Lee Yeon-bok.
And we have Chef Sam Kim, the master of pasta.
Who will be the final champion of 2014-2016 season?
We'll start the final championship match right now!
(To the kitchen!)
Who will be able to take this trophy home tonight?
It's the final match. You must not make any mistake.
(Chef Lee starts to prepare vegetables first)
(1. Chop green onion, garlic, pumpkin, onions and tofu.)
(This time, chopping beef)
Oh, we see double blades.
Double blades. Very swift.
Do you hear that sound?
(Amazed)
One thing I'm worried about...
he said he was going to use Chinese style shrimp wontons.
They usually use black tiger shrimps. They're very sturdy and tangy.
But Korean shrimps are softer and they break apart very easily.
But for wontons, you need sturdy and tangy ones.
I think making that similar texture will be very important.
And he also said he was going to use nurungji.
When it's made with glutinous rice, it swells up when you dry it.
But if you just use normal rice, it just becomes stiff.
I don't think it'll have the similar texture.
So there are some disadvantages.
I don't like the fact that Poong is...
adding onto my explanations and commentaries in this final match of the year.
Because of lack of ingredients, he's at an disadvantage.
But when Chef Lee makes wontons, he never lose.
'Wonso jjamppong', 'Blessed Wontons',
'Swallow Wontons', 'Soft Pepper Wontons'...
Every time he made wontons, he won.
(Chef Sam starts to prepare vegetables first)
(1. Boil onions, carrots, garlic, green onions and pepper to make broth.)
It's his signature food. He's making vegetable broth.
Of course, he's making that today as well.
- He just added the beef soup. - Oh, that broth?
- Yes. - The one his mother made?
He's the master of vegetables.
He says he's going to make something similar to ratatouille.
(3. Grill pumpkins. Add salt and pepper.)
(4. Stir-fry garlic, vinegar, beef broth, butter and pumpkin together.)
In 11 minutes, we'll find out who the champion will be.
- They both look so serious today. - No laughing or smiling.
You should try to provoke them.
Yes, I'll try to bother them.
- Chef Sam. - Yes?
You just said my name for no reason, right? Okay.
- He doesn't seem shaken. - His mentality got stronger.
I know. This is not the first time.
(Chef Lee started to make the wontons)
(3. Mince shrimps, butter, egg, starch and ginseng juice.)
- Oh. - He's mincing something.
He added starch in there.
If you add flour or starch like that, it will hold the mixture together very well.
- He's an expert. - Of course.
Poong doesn't have anything to add to this one.
Poong, anything you want to add?
Thank you, I learned a lot.
(4. Add salt to the mince shrimp.)
(This time, he's chopping whelk...)
What is he chopping right now?
- It's whelk. - Oh, whelk! Oh, into tiny pieces.
So he's going to mix that with shrimps to make wontons?
His hands are so fast.
- Oh, he's making wontons. - Wontons, he's working on wontons!
He's using his hands to make them.
So it has whelk and shrimp in it.
This is the final match.
What is Chef Sam doing?
He just punched a hole in the potato.
- I have to make it the same size. - Oh, as the pumpkin?
(5. Grill the potatoes. Add salt and pepper.)
(6. Stir-fry together with garlic, beef broth and vinegar.)
The main ingredient, flatfish.
'1st Place Gajami'.
That flatfish is very good quality.
(Peels lemon skin and slices them)
- What is he doing? - Lemon.
- Oh, he's going to tie it. - With a thread.
Why are you doing that?
I'm trying to maintain its shape.
He doesn't want it to open apart when he cooks it.
Oh, to maintain the shape.
It's taking some time...tying thread.
(He's rushing and trying to tie it)
He's like tying his hands together.
- What are you doing? - He's having a hard time.
He's having a hard time.
(9. Grill the white part of green onions and flatfish.)
(Pressing them with a spatula)
Oh, no! It came apart.
It came undone?
- It did? - That's a failure.
(Takes out the nurungji and frying it)
That looks good.
(7. Fry the nurungji, take them out and get rid of extra oil.)
We were worried because it was made with just normal rice.
But I think he already expected that. He just said, 'that looks good'.
Really?
Is it okay? Oh, gosh.
- Unbelievable. - Is it good?
It isn't glutinous rice nurungji. But why does it taste so good?
- Unbelievable. - Why?
- It isn't stiff. It has a nice texture. - Really?
Amazing.
- 5 minutes left. - Oh, 4 minutes and 44 secs!
- Time just flew by. - I will go over there.
Things are very intense here right now.
Chef Sam just took out a paper.
He's putting vegetables in it.
That is papillote.
It means 'paper boat'.
- Oh, he's going to use that to cook it? - He's going to put that inside the oven.
He put it in the oven. Not much time left now.
(11. Add pepper to the flatfish.)
(Tips over)
You almost lost your flatfish.
Very clumsy right now.
He's doing that chin thing that he does when he's flustered.
(Like this)
(Sam Kim copy machine)
Pulling down his chin.
(Chef Sam started his plating)
- He tied it with a thread. - It's supposed to be curled, right?
- The thread is still there. - It's still stuck there.
What if it gets stuck in Hwan-hee's teeth?
Does he want Hwan-hee to use that as a dental floss after eating?
- I'm gong to get it out later. - Oh, okay.
He's going to get it out a bit later.
(6. Stir-fry the green onions, minced beef and hot pepper powder together.)
(9. Add wine, soy sauce, plum juice, garlic, hot pepper paste to #8.)
It's staring to look like mapo tofu.
It really does look like it.
And he's adding starch powder.
He didn't have the doubanjiang sauce so he's replacing it with hot pepper paste.
- Should I try this mapo tofu? - Yes.
mapo tofu!
I don't think it's done yet.
mapo tofu!
- How is it? - He's going to win?
I think he might lose.
The ingredients, they taste too separate.
It's not seasoned yet.
But only 3 minutes left now.
(13. Boil lemon juice, white wine, beef broth and butter to make a sauce.)
(14. Pour over the fish sauce and microwave it.)
He took it out from the oven.
I think you need to microwave it.
It's not fully cooked? 1 minute and 40 seconds left now.
I think he's running out of time.
How are the potatoes?
They need more time.
- Only 1 minute and 30 seconds left. - Just microwave it.
Many are providing their opinions but he's going to stick to his original method.
1 minute and 20 seconds left.
- Wow. - Look at those wontons.
Oh, here are the wontons.
It has whelk and shrimp stuffing.
Less than 1 minute left now.
The final match of 2014-2016 season.
Who will be the final champion? Chef Lee's hands are slightly shaking.
His hands are shaking.
Chef Sam is on his last step as well.
Oh, Chef Lee finished cooking!
Sam Kim is on his last step as well.
Oh, he's trying to get rid of the thread.
- Oh, the thread... - He's also peeling the fish skin...
(The shape got ruined)
- That's very unfortunate - Oh, no.
What are you going to do about it?
- It's okay. - Oh, he says it'll be fine.
- 20 seconds left. - Take your time. You're fine.
You have some time. Be calm and finish up well.
The last dish of 2016 will be Chef Sam's dish.
8 seconds left. 7, 6, 5...
4...oh, the lemon juice? 2, 1...
He's done!
Chef Sam finished as well.
- That was so fun. - It finally ended.
The last dishes of this year.
(Shrimp whelk wonton with mapo tofu)
(Chef Lee Yeon-bok's 'Wonso Tofu')
Cut the wonton and eat it with the mapo tofu.
- Oh, this? - Yes, cut it and try with the tofu.
'Wonso Tofu'.
Chef Lee with 28 victories.
It's really something I've never tasted before.
It does taste like mapo tofu...
but you can taste whelk here and there as well.
It's so delicious.
- Try it with nurungji this time. - Okay.
This time, with nurungji.
(Crispy)
- He's enjoying it. - It even sounds delicious, too.
The nurungji is simply amazing.
As soon as the nurungji joins in...
When you add nurungji to it, it becomes perfection.
Oh, perfection.
I feel so bad that I'm eating this by myself.
Who do you want to share it with?
My mother.
I wish she could taste this.
Because I can't make this kind of dish.
I'll never be able to.
Does it remind you of any song?
- A song? - Yeah, one of your songs maybe?
I love you, no that’s not enough
The day I can show you the love in me
- It's making me feel all cozy and warm. - I see.
Like my mother's homemade cooking that's full of love..
Oh, that's how it makes you feel.
(Grilled vegetables and flatfish in a paper boat)
(Chef Sam Kim's '1st Place Gajami')
Try the potato, pumpkin and the fish together.
- Try the soup on the bottom with it as well. - With the soup as well.
I wonder if the flatfish is fully cooked.
- It is very well done. - Yes.
It looked like he ran out of time. So I thought he took it out.
But it's cooked just the right amount. He got it perfectly.
I guess it's really delicious.
- He said he really likes fish. - And vegetables.
And tofu.
- Alright, '1st Place Gajami'. - It's so good.
- It's really good. - The other one was cozy.
Then how would you describe this one?
It's very unique.
For the moon, by the sea You leave the seashore
Until all the tears are dry
(Low quality chorus)
'Sea of Love'. It reminds me of the sea.
Alright, 'Sea of Love'.
- It's getting harder and harder to decide. - It's so hard.
First, we'll try Chef Lee's 'Wonso Tofu'.
Cut them and eat it with the wonton.
Very tangy.
- It's so good. - I can't stop eating.
The wontons are...
how did me make them so chewy and tangy? In that short amount of time?
All the pieces are the same size.
But he made them all with his hands. Looks like it was made with a machine.
Hwan hee didn't have much Chinese cuisine ingredients.
Chef Lee's dishes I've tried so far...
they're like the fancy use of Chinese cuisine ingredients.
But today, he used Korean cuisine ingredients.
He really made it taste like his mother's cooking.
It was really great.
This time, Chef Sam's '1st Place Gajami'.
'1st Place Gajami'. I wonder if it can win the first place.
Flatfish, onions, pumpkin and potatoes.
You have to eat it all at once.
Its' so delicious.
I eat flatfish quite often, too.
I never knew that it could taste like this.
This is going to be hard.
I'm sorry. I don't think I can help.
Chef Jeong, your restaurant is very close to Chef Lee's.
Do you think this flatfish will win 1st place today?
I think he really made an ultimate dish
using his usual naturalistic method of cooking. Very savory and deep.
But since I have to go home with Chef Lee...
I hope he'll be in a good mood when we go back home tonight.
When he lose, how does he act on his way home?
He becomes very quiet.
What about when you guys competed against each other?
He was especially quite that day.
He doesn't want to be in an uncomfortable situation.
But don't be shaken by all these small talks.
According to your decision, we'll give this trophy to the winner.
Must be so difficult.
I really can't...this is too cruel.
Just think of it as the same usual match.
They collected votes, one by one and came this far.
Alright then! Maybe Gummy should vote, too.
It won't count but just to see your opinion.
It's the final decision. It's time to choose.
Number 1 is Chef Sam's dish. Number 2 is Chef Lee's dish.
- One, two three... - Did you press it?
Okay, she pressed it.
- Did you vote, too? - Yes.
Hwan-hee voted for one, too.
We'll check the result...oh my!
- How could this happen? - I can't believe it!
- Why? - Hwan-hee and Gummy...
voted differently from each other.
- I knew it. - They voted for different chefs.
- Thank goodness. - Good job.
Let's see whose dish Hwan-hee chose.
The winner of this match will be the final 1st place winner.
Is it Chef Lee or Chef Sam?
Is it Chef Sam or Chef Lee?
Who will be the owner of this trophy?
Show us! Whom did Hwan-hee choose?
Let's see whose dish Hwan-hee chose.
The winner of this match will be the final 1st place winner.

Who will be the owner of this trophy?
Show us! Whom did Hwan-hee choose?
- Who is it? - (Chef Lee Yeon-bok - Winner)
('Wonso Tofu' - Winner)
(Cheering)
(The final champion is Chef Lee Yeon-bok)
Chef Lee is the champion of this season.
So Gummy chose Chef Sam's dish.
I really couldn't tell which was more delicious.
But I know that Chef Lee had limited ingredients to work with.
I was amazed that he could still come up with such a great dish.
And when I ate it, it really reminded me of my mother.
I really felt so warm and cozy.
Tell us how you feel, Chef Lee. You won the first place.
I feel very to Chef Sam.
I usually don't care about winning and losing.
But today, I really wanted to win.
And I'm really glad I won.
- I'm very happy. - Congratulations.
- Very honest. - Yes.
We'll present this trophy to Chef Lee.
- Oh, me? - Yes, Hwan-hee will.
Congratulations!
Congratulations, Chef Lee!
