Turn your leftovers into fine dining.
Korea's top chefs will empty out your fridge.
A high quality cooking show, Take Good Care of The Fridge!
Nice to see you.
It doesn't matter which country or genre, they can cook any dish.
We have a great chef sitting next to another great chef.
Let me introduce our 8 chefs!
Welcome, everyone!
It's now time to introduce everyone to today's refrigerator owners.
Today, we invited two guests, who have...
kept their friendship a secret for the past 16-years.
These two are our refrigerator guests for today!
Come on out!
Today's refrigerator owners!
They've been like brother and sister for the past 16-years.
Today's refrigerator owners!
They've been like brother and sister for the past 16-years.
It's Kim Ji-hoon and Seo Min-Jung!
Welcome! It's nice to see you guys.
Thank you for coming on the show. Thank you very much.
He's been on shows like, "Jang Bo-ri is Here" and "Good Thief and Bad Thief".
He's captured the hearts of audience members as the living David statue.
He's known as a walking sculpture, Kim Ji-hoon!
Nice to meet you.
Could you say a greeting to our audience members?
Hello and nice to meet you, I'm actor Kim Ji-hoon.
Thank you.
You really do look like David from here.
- Your introduction is embarrassing. - No, it's fine.
- Let me introduce our next guest. - Great!
A lovely New Yorker, who still smiles with her eyes.
- Please let me introduce, Seo Min-Jung! - Seo Min-Jung is with us today!
Can you introduce yourself to our audience?
Hello, everyone. My name is Seo min-Jung!
- Wow, seriously. - It's nice to meet you!
You really haven't changed a bit.
Unfortunately, right after today's recording...
Seo Min-Jung will be returning to New York again.
This is her last show before returning to New York.
- Isn't that right? - Yes, you're right.
Please, don't go!
I believe I'll see the show we're recording, once I return to New York.
I might cry when I see it there. I'll miss it here.
- I know. - Yes.
But before you return to New York...
we'll make sure you get a chance to have a great meal...
and get your filled up.
They're here together since they knew each other 16-years ago.
How did you two become close?
I guess you could say we debuted together.
Debut colleagues?
Back then, Seo Min-Jung was already well-known as a video journalist.
We were asked to do a music show together.
- It was the first time I'd ever been on a show. - I see.
For those, who are curious as to what Seo Min-Jung and Kim Ji-hoon did...
we obtained a picture from the show that is 16 -years-old.
We'll show it to you. Now, here is the picture.
This is the picture. Yes, that's the one.
Yes, Kim Ji-hoon has that hair-cut back then.
- Look at his face. - Yes.
The picture on the left is the first picture we took before recording.
- You're right, our first show. - I see.
The show's name was "Hotline School". I haven't told anyone this before but...
to be honest, at around 1998...
I put in my resume to be a video journalist at Mnet as well.
- Really? - Wow!
Yes, I put my resume in.
The VJs back then for that show were really hot.
I know. I sent in my resume but got rejected.
- You got rejected with just your resume. - Yes, just my resume.
I realized it was hard becoming a VJ.
I also realized how popular VJs were back then as well.
You did your first broadcast show together back then.
Now, I heard you two decided to come on this show...
because you wanted to keep a promise you made 16-years ago.
That's what we heard today.
It was the first time the both of had ever done a show, so we got in a lot of trouble.
We would do a live show and the producer would make us watch it right after.
Then, he'd tell us to write down everything we did wrong.
He told you to write letters of apology for what you did wrong.
We had live show every day.
- We wrote a letter every day. - He really made you guys work hard.
After we wrote our letter of apology...
we'd go to a food truck that sold ddeokboki in front of the broadcasting station.
He'd ask me, "Do you think we'll succeed?" while we ate ddeokboki.
I'd tell him, "I think you'll be successful, but I don't know about me".
He said, "We need to become successful, so we can go on a public TV show...
and tell people what hardships we went through.
- That's the promise you made 16-years ago? - Yes.
Ji-hoon sent me a private message through our SNS account.
He asked, "I heard you asked that...
I come on "Take Good Care of the Fridge" with me. What's going on?".
I told him, I knew he wouldn't be able to come...
on the show since he's busy filming a drama.
But, I asked if he remembered the promise he made 16-years ago with me.
A promise made 16-years ago!
Ji-hoon was nice enough to text me back, "I have no choice but to go on the show".
He also said he'd rearrange his drama, so he could be on the show with me.
He asked me, "Do they really take our refrigerator?".
I thought he might cancel if I told him, you really do take the whole refrigerator.
So, I never texted him back.
I didn't know that, I just thought she was busy.
You were afraid he wouldn't show.
There is one thing I'd like to point out to you...
but JTBC isn't really a public broadcasting station
It's composed from an organization.
What I've heard is that the most liked channel by entertainers is JTBC.
Yes, that's true. You don't mind if this is a public broadcasting station, do you?
- I like it even more. - You do, don't you? - Yes.
- I love you, JTBC. - Yes, of course you do.
We're also happy you two could keep your promise on JTBC.
Min-Jung had a really hard time because of the producer back then.
Why? What happened?
I was new VJ with not a lot of experience, but it was also a live show.
I only had a year more experience than Ji-hoon.
So, the producer only made me have an "in-ear" in my ear.
"In-ear" means the earphones we wear to communicate with our producers.
- Yes, you can hear them. - Yes.
At that moment in time, Ji-hoon was a very hard-worker that tried very hard.
So, when he would ask questions, sometimes he would...
ask questions that weren't appropriate.
- He didn't hold back? - No, he didn't.
There are a couple of questions, I've asked myself why I asked them.
For example, we'd ask a singer to show us an individual talent.
When they showed us their talents, Ji-hoon would say, "That's really bad".
The producer would yell in my ear, "Why aren't you controlling him?"
"Seo Min-Jung! Why can't you control Kim Ji-hoon?".
He'd say, "Make Ji-hoon stop talking! Right now" but...
Ji-hoon would happily ask, "Didn't I do great today?".
It was hard back then.
My goodness. You went through the same difficulties as me.
(Wh... what?)
Speak for yourself!
I couldn't get myself to say anything. I was afraid he'd lose confidence.
I was afraid he wouldn't be able to say what he wanted to.
Those are the obstacles you had to go through.
It brings back a lot of memories.
This is actually the first time I've heard that the producers would yell at her and...
say, "Stop Ji-hoon!".
- Really? - That's Min-jung's personality.
She doesnât say much and she especially won't...
say anything if it might hurt their feelings.
For example, Ahn Jung-hwan is a bit on the dark side.
You could say, "I was out all day and got sun-burnt today".
She'll say, "No, you're actually really white".
(She tells little white lies)
I could say to our chef, "Looks like your belly has gotten bigger".
She'll say, "No, you're really skinny".
She says it in that tone too.
They're all lies!
- She's lying to them. - She doesn't want to hurt their feelings.
I don't think they're compliments to make the other person feel better...
but they're just straight-up lies.
She's willing to go that far to be considerate of the other person's feelings.
She takes it too far.
Tell me the truth, Min-Jung. What do you think about that producer?
I think very highly of him. Yes.
She's lying. She would never say anything bad.
We'll never know what's she really thinking.
- Just think the opposite of what she says. - That's right.
I'll ask you again, is Chef Raymond Kim skinny or fat?
He's skinny.
She's lying!
They're all lies.
She must've had such a hard time lying to people!
- You hurt my feelings. - No, you're very skinny.
What about Chef Jung Ho-young? Is he fat or skinny?
- He looks healthy. - Healthy?
- You're healthy. - What if he gets sick later on?
I remember your show being refreshing and bubbly.
Do you remember your opening greeting?
I remember our greeting, but I'm not sure Ji-hoon remembers.
What was it?
- We're live. - We're live! - Hotline School! Hello everyone!
(I remember)
(He remembers)
He's embarrassed since it was 16-years ago.
It must be embarrassing since he's playing the part of a prosecutor now.
- I'm sure he doesn't want to see. - Yes, since he's a prosecutor now.
- We're live. - We're live! - Hotline School!
Hello, everyone. It's Friday, February 8 and I'm Min-Jung, your Hotline School VJ.
Hello, I'm Hotline School VJ Ji-hoon.
Will you show us how it was done?
- This is what you did 16-years ago? - Yes, it was.
16-years ago.
(It's been 16-years since the two were in the same shot)
This is a two-people shot we haven't seen in a while.
- Is it the middle camera? - Yes, the middle one.
- It feels like we're back in time. - Yes, 16-years ago.
You'd better take good care of Ji-hoon. I'm going to trust you, Min-Jung!
Stand-by for our live broadcast. Start the show!
- We're live. - We're live.
- Hotline... - School!
Hello, I'm your refreshing and bubbly VJ Seo Min-Jung!
Hello, everyone. I'd like nothing more than for everyone to save me...
in their hearts. I'm VJ Kim Ji-hoon!
Save me!
Is that what you did?
(Min-Jung and Ji-hoon are still refreshing and bubbly)
- Thank you very much. - My goodness.
- They still know what to do. - I like, save me.
Aren't they cute? They're still the same.
We've had a couple of guests on the show that either love to cook or...
have been chefs before.
Kim Ji-hoon is actually the original cooking show host.
He was one of the original cooking MCs from 16-years ago.
Yes. He's been our superior for a very long time.
The show was on EBS Education Channel. The show's name was "Cooking Logic, Bang-Bang".
Yes, "Cooking Logic, Bang-Bang". We'll show a bit of it.
"Cooking Logic, Bang-Bang".
Is that who you were cooking with?
Yes, I'm sure Cherry has grown-up a lot as well.
- Her name is Cherry? - Yes, Cherry. - My goodness.
Was it a show for kids?
Yes, it was a cooking show for kids. Easy recipes kids could do.
- Did you make baby food? - Are there differences in kids cooking show?
There are a lot of messages about safety.
- No, nothing dangerous. - Especially hot things.
Now, this is very hot. Remember to use gloves that look like this.
Please ask your parents before using knives, okay?
Cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it.
We would sing to our actions.
This is the same person that plays a prosecutor 16-years later.
That means, you would be good at cooking.
- I think I have a talent for it. - You do?
I cook a lot but sometimes...
I'll think of something and it always turns out well.
You have a knack for cooking.
Is there a dish you're most confident about?
Usually pasta is simple to make but looks appetizing when guests come over.
Pasta!
- Yes, pasta. - I bet your girlfriend liked it.
Well, a long time ago.
- He's very sharp. - Yes, mostly women like pasta.
Those dishes are for women.
There's no reason for him to make pasta when guys come over to his house.
You get delivery when guys come over to your house!
I'm also proud of one other dish I make. It's a simple dish.
It's soybean paste stew. I like my own soybean paste stew...
more than my mother's stew.
You're that good?
- Did that sound strange? - I'm sure your mother isn't a bad cook, is she?
- She's good. - She's good but?
It just tastes better when I cook it for myself.
He can adjust it to his taste.
He's saying he can make most soybean paste stew and pasta for himself.
That's what we can take from that.
We'll reveal Kim Ji-hoon's wish dishes first this week as well.
Please show us. These are Kim Ji-hoon's wish dishes.
"Here Comes, Brunch!"
"Oven Dishes, Bang-Bang!"
The titles seem frivolous.
It's not "Here Comes, Jang Bo-ri", but "Here Comes, Brunch".
It's not "Cooking Logic, Bang-Bang" but "Oven Dishes, Bang-Bang".
I'm supposed to be a prosecutor too.
You're an easy-going prosecutor.
Ever since I was young, I would always eat bread for breakfast.
That may be the reason why I still look for brunch places for breakfast.
I'd like a dish I could make at home by myself.
"Oven Dishes, Bang-Bang". What kind of dish is this?
Bang-Bang!
I'm curious what this dish is.
- I recently moved. - Yes?
The house has a built-in oven in it.
- It was built-in. - Yes.
But I've never used an oven before.
I'd like to be able to use my oven to...
make something really delicious and it can be used to serve my guests.
I'd like to cook a dish in my oven.
These are the chefs, who will be using ingredients from Kim Ji-hoon's fridge.
Raymond Kim, Kim Poong, Sam Kim and Michael.
- (Michael vs. Sam Kim) - (Kim Poong vs. Raymond Kim)
We'll finally start taking a look at Kim Ji-hoon's refrigerator.
How long have you been living alone?
I think it's been about 10 years.
- 10 years. - But you know what?
I'm not sure we can dig into a prosecutor's refrigerator.
- I'm not sure if something will go wrong. - I know. - I'm very worried.
- My fridge is clean. - Is it?
- You don't need to be burdened. - I'm getting nervous.
Do you like alcohol?
I don't really like alcohol.
It seems like genetics since everyone in my family doesn't like to drink.
There might not be anything to make appetizers either.
- Let's take a look. - Okay.
We'll be the first to show Kim Ji-hoon's refrigerator on television!
Kim Ji-hoon's refrigerator!
(Everyone focuses)
Kim Ji-hoon's refrigerator!
(Clean and organized)
- Yes. - It's very clean.
First off, it's nicely organized.
Let's look at the first shelf. The first shelf!
- Yogurt. - Yogurt.
There are 2 cartons of milk.
When I don't have time in the morning...
I'll drink either the coffee milk or a yogurt.
I've liked that milk from when I was young.
You mean this one? Coffee milk?
My basic taste is sort of like elementary kids.
- I like things that are sweet. - I see.
We have a small drawer underneath as well.
I see cheese here.
This is pre-packaged soybean paste stew.
Is this what you're making your stew with?
Didn't he say that his stew was better?
He said his stew was tastier than his mother's stew.
That tastes better than what my mom makes.
So, that's what it was.
He used this and said his stew tastes better than his mom's stew?
I bet your mom will be upset if she watches this show.
Next, there's another drawer underneath.
- I see side dishes. Kimchee. - Yes, kimchee.
There's also pickled cucumbers.
- There's eggs. - Watermelon. - He cut up watermelon.
He also has washed grapes.
- He lives by himself but has it very clean. - I know.
It's not easy keeping fruits this way.
When I was young, our home refrigerator was never this clean.
Especially, when I lived there.
I decided when I began living by myself...
I would never let my fridge become that dirty.
I think that's why I keep it clean.
So, you resented your mom for that?
No, that's not it.
I understood her.
I understand her and it's only inevitable when you're in the kitchen.
When I cook a little, the whole refrigerator becomes a mess.
The remaining ingredients and left-overs become a mess inside.
I try as well. I don't like throwing things away either...
but I try to live the minimal life.
I try to minimize everything by throwing things out and keeping things simple.
That's very true.
- Now, this is butter. - Butter!
- Yes, butter. - My goodness!
I'm sorry, I didn't know this was open.
- How can you drop things from a prosecutor's fridge? - I'm sorry.
If you buy butter that's in one big container, it can easily get dirty.
- Yes. - That's why they're individually packed.
- He's as clean as he looks. - Yes.
- Next, there's calamansi. - Yes, calamansi extract.
There's calamansi extract, potatoes, cabbage and other vegetables.
That drawer is totally my mom's drawer.
Things she needs to cook with.
A lot of the ingredients are gone. What are they going to make brunch with?
- They have to make brunch. - That's right, it's brunch!
- What about eggs? - I forgot it was brunch.
- What about the oven? - That's the bigger problem.
- And also... - You use expensive make-up.
This is mostly used by women.
- Really? - Yes.
- Are you serious? - Yeah.
I got that as a present.
I barely used any of it.
- He used a lot. - No, you used a lot of it.
- There isn't much left. - We have evidence!
Don't women usually use this product a lot?
Yes, you're right.
- Men usually don't use this. - I've always used women make-up.
- Really? - Yes.
You should take a look. Choose your words wisely.
- He used a lot. - Didn't he? - Yes.
Isn't this expensive?
He said his body felt dry during the winter.
- He's pretending not to hear. - Is that so?
He seems to be asking us to move onto something else.
Move onto something else.
I really do use women's make-up.
Yes, we'll take your word for it.
- I'm being serious. - Sure.
Great, now!
(The very bottom drawer)
This is wine.
He must've thought we wouldn't look here.
I thought you didn't drink.
Didn't you say your whole family doesn't drink?
There's beer and even soju.
That soju is from Jeju Island.
- There's raspberry wine. - Raspberry wine! There two bottles.
We're finding alcohol in each shelf.
It's a bar in there.
- He said he didn't like alcohol. - There's a lot in here.
When you move, you need to have a house-warming party.
- Sure. - You're most likely to drink when people come over.
- People usually buy alcohol the day before. - Yes, right before the party.
No, no. It's because my schedule is too busy to do that.
For instance, my filming schedule for tomorrow came out an hour ago.
I got it ahead of time. I'm just getting ready.
- You don't know what kind of alcohol they like. - No, I don't know what will happen.
- Yes, of course. - He doesn't know who will come over and what they'll like.
Based on alcohol preferences, how many different people are coming over?
Raspberry wine for one, beer for another.
- The third is soju. - Yes, we have soju too.
- Wine. - Fourth person is wine.
Basically, he has 4 different women.
It's not that. I'll explain each alcohol to you.
Do you see the soju there?
I went to Jeju Island about half a year ago.
- I bought a couple of bottles since they're rare in Seoul. - No, they're not.
- You can find them in markets. - Really?
Yes, there's a lot in markets.
I believe the raspberry wine is more than a year old.
- Really? - A year is more than enough.
He hasn't opened it yet. The woman, who likes this wine, hasn't shown up yet.
He should've thrown it out, if he's a minimalist.
He went to Jeju Island with her, bought this but she never came back either.
He's keeping it around thinking she might come back, one of these days.
Usually when men come over...
they say, "Hey! I'll bring over the alcohol" and buy their own.
- That's right. - It's a sad story but...
- Yes? - Most of my friends or close people...
aren't as well off as you might think.
Seriously, I'm not lying.
Most of my friends think of my house as their own pub.
They say, "Let's go to Ji-hoon's house to get wasted".
Yes, some of my friends ask, "Can we go to your house and drink beer there?".
Anyways, the important thing here is that there aren't a lot of ingredients...
but just a lot of water in the fridge.
There are a lot of beverages.
This will be a difficult task for them.
What will they be able to cook in the oven?
- All these will pop if they go in the oven. - Of course, they will.
They'll all go bang-bang.
- Oven Dishes, Bang-Bang. - Yes, bang-bang everywhere.
Let's look in the freezer. If we look in the freezer...
Now, I see that there are some ingredients for cooking.
- Bacon. - Bacon.
- There bacon and chicken breast. - Yes, chicken breast.
This is marinated pork ribs.
I believe that's been in there for a long time.
It's already expired?
You bought this on August of 2017. It hasn't been that long.
- It's fine. - Of course.
Maybe it's something else.
Didn't he say he took care of the refrigerator?
He's lying every time he opens his mouth!
My mom bought those. I'm saying, my mom bought those!
- He's getting mad. - I understand.
- He wants us to move on again. - Yes, we'll do that.
This is only 10-days-old Korean Round steak.
This is another pack of beef.
- Beef tenderloin. - These are all very new.
These were bought recently as well.
When did he buy all this when he moved 2 weeks ago?
Didn't he say he was busy?
- Didn't his schedule come out yesterday? - My mom bought them for me!
- Your mother - My mom really bought them for me.
- Of course, your mother. - Yes, his mother.
I'm telling the truth.
His tone keeps changing with us.
I think he feels cornered.
This isn't the prosecutor's office!
I'm asking you to believe what I say.
This isn't an inquisition for you, Ji-hoon.
You have the right to a lawyer.
What are you going to do, Ji-hoon?
What is this? Is this bulgogi?
- That's marinated chicken. - Marinated chicken.
We should know his taste preference if we've seen this much of his fridge but...
could you tell us what your taste preferences for our chefs?
My taste in dishes isn't as finicky as you might think.
- I'll eat anything. - You're not picky?
I don't like pungent foods.
- What about spicy? - I don't like salty or spicy dishes.
- Just... - What about that marinated chicken?
That is mild-tasting.
That's mild-tasting?
- But it's so red. - That's really red.
How can that red thing not be spicy?
This is mild-tasting, Ji-hoon?
- It's too red. - You're telling me this is mild?
The chili paste is just red, that's all.
It's just the chili paste.
This seems as spicy as flaming hot chicken.
The spiciest good I'm willing to eat is ddeukboki from a specific restaurant.
Bizarre ddeukboki? That's about as hot as I can go.
You can eat really spicy food then! You must really like spicy food.
The taste of the dish doesn't really matter to me...
just as long as I can see the quality in the dish.
If I can taste that, then I'm willing to eat any dish.
- (Michael vs. Sam Kim) - (Kim Poong vs. Raymond Kim)
We'll now begin our first battle with ingredients from Kim Ji-hoon's fridge.
The first battle will be between Chefs Sam Kim and Michael and they are...
both stubborn about using all-natural ingredients for their dishes.
I don't think there's anything in my fridge that promotes all-natural, is there?
- I'm glad you noticed. - Yes.
Not only do we not have anything natural, but there's only water in your fridge.
I have a lot of alcohol, so please use as much as you'd like.
Today's battle theme is, brunch.
- Have you made a lot of brunch before? - Yes, I have.
Isn't that obvious? That's not something you'd ask a chef!
He has two restaurants and you want to ask if he's made brunch before?
My goodness, are you serious?
- I guess it's like asking if you've kicked some soccer balls before. - Of course!
(Chef Sam Kim's ingredients: potatoes, eggs, grapes, calamansi...
(extract, bread, sliced cheddar cheese, bacon, yogurt, cabbage)
(Chef Michael's ingredients: potatoes, beef tenderloin, eggs, honey mustard)
First, Chef Michael! What kind of dish will you be making?
My dish's title is, "Bulunch".
- Bulunch? - Yes, because I'm from Bulgaria.
I see. He used 'Bul' from Bulgaria. Bulgarian Brunch.
- Bulgarians really love meat. - I see.
And I saw really good meat here.
I'll make a really good marinade with garlic, if he likes garlic.
I'll also make simple fried potatoes as well. Something easy.
It'll be easy to fry.
I think it'll be burdensome to eat meat as soon as I wake up.
It's not as soon as you get up. It'll be around 1:30ish.
I was thinking of getting up at about 1:00 o'clock.
- He gets up at 1. - He says he's getting up at 1.
You can simply eat it with your hands too.
He pretends not to understand if the question disadvantageous for him.
- He talks about something else. - Or he says the same thing over again.
He says he's getting up at 1.
- I'm only using beef and potatoes. - He's talking about something else.
What about him waking up at 1?
(He doesn't know anything if it's disadvantageous to him)
He speaks Korean well, but he evades the question if it's disadvantageous to him.
Chef Sam Kim is going against him. What dish will you be preparing?
The dish I'll be preparing is called, "Brunch Thief".
"Brunch Thief".
Yes, he's using the title of a drama Ji-hoon was in.
- He's good at making titles. - Yes, "Brunch Thief". I think he likes it.
It'll have a salad, some bread, eggs and even potatoes.
It would be quite easy for him to follow the recipe if he has a knack for cooking.
Thank you. We'll now begin our brunch cooking battle.
It's Chef Sam Kim, who wants to give a brunch dish...
so delicious that people would want to eat the dish itself...
versus Chef Michael, who will show you a brunch dish...
that will make you want to eat it for three meals a day.
In the end, which chef will be able to achieve their seventh win?
At this moment, we'll start our "Here Comes, Brunch" battle!
It's exactly 15-minutes.
Please make sure to finish in 15-minutes.
They'll stop cooking as soon as 15-minutes are up.
He's putting salt in the water and boiling potatoes.
- He's boiling potatoes first? - I think that might take a while.
Chef Michael is cutting the potatoes to fry them.
He's going to fry them.
- I have to make fried potatoes at home? - Yes.
The potatoes they sell at the supermarkets are blanched.
Blanch means it was boiled once.
You would fry it the potatoes in low temperature, first.
Then, fry it very quickly in high temperature oil
You need to dunk the Korean potatoes in water to take away some of its starch.
Our potatoes are the worst kind of potatoes to make French fries.
They're very chewy, so it's hard to make them crispy.
It's good to use old potatoes when you use Korean potatoes to make fries.
(Chef Sam Kim begins to make salad dressing)
(2. Make salad dressing by mixing sliced grapes, yogurt...
(mayonnaise, calamansi extract, salt, pepper and olive oil)
In the meantime, Chef Sam Kim is slicing grapes.
He put sliced grapes into mayonnaise.
They're really fast.
I don't need to put more sugar in since the grapes are sweet enough.
He's all for natural flavors.
You need to put sugar in!
- He doesn't use sugar and... - Of course, you need sugar in if it's not sweet enough.
- I'm not saying you shouldn't. - It depends on the grapes. Yes.
(3. Julienne carrots and cabbage)
- What are you doing now? - He's making coleslaw.
- Yes, something similar to coleslaw. - I see, coleslaw.
Coleslaw is delicious.
(3. Slice tenderloin into long strips)
The beef should be about the size of your finger.
He's cutting all of the beef into long slices. They looks like long sticks.
You can eat them like finger foods while watching TV.
- You can walk around and eat it. As soon as you get up? - Yes, no need for cutlery.
(He puts a lot of garlic with the beef)
All you need is garlic, pepper and soy sauce.
Garlic, pepper and soy sauce. The dish is almost done.
- Garlic, pepper and soy sauce? That's it? - Yes.
He made it very simple but if it tastes good, then all the better.
(Thinly slice lemons and place on dish)
Michael is already starting to plate his dish.
Really? Yes! I see him already plating.
It hasn't even been 10-minutes yet.
(5. Melt butter in the microwave oven)
(Take out the blanched potatoes and rinse them in cold water)
He's grating something.
- Didn't you boil those potatoes? - Yes, they were boiled.
I see, he only blanched them.
Yes, the starch comes out after blanching them and they can start sticking together.
- What are you going to make with that? - I'm making hashed browns.
He's going to fry them afterward.
- You'll form a mound and then start frying it? - Yes.
- You can also put that in potato pancakes as well. - They stick better that way.
(8. Make Hollandaise sauce with egg yolk, salt...
(lemon, melted butter and mix over double-boiler)
- He's using the egg yolk to make Hollandaise sauce. - Hollandaise?
Do you know the yellow sauce over poached eggs? That's Hollandaise sauce.
The hard part about it, is the double-boiler.
You can't cook it over direct heat. You need to use the steam to cook the sauce.
- You can't cook it directly because of the yolk. - That's right.
This will be so easy for you to make, Ji-hoon.
I bet he can make this every day at home.
- I'm not sure why you'd purposely show him a new technique today. - It's not new.
Michael's dish seems much easier to make.
He's putting flour onto the beef.
- What's that? - A thermometer.
What if I don't have a food thermometer at home, chef?
- He wants to know what to do if he doesn't have a thermometer. - He's not listening.
- Michael! - Yes?
- He keeps pretending not to hear. - Ji-hoon is asking you a question.
How does he check the oil's temperature if he doesn't have a thermometer?
- Test the oil by putting one potato in. - I see, you test it out.
See if it's okay.
Yes, he keeps pretending not to hear when he's asked hard questions.
(6. Cover meat with eggs and fry in low-heat oil)
(While the meat is frying...)
He's frying it once in low-heat oil and then the second time in high-heat oil.
(7. After frying the potatoes in high-heat oil, take out a drain oil)
- Ahn Jung-hwan will go to the cooking sites to see how it's going. - Yes.
The time is really short.
Are you putting it in different dishes?
- He's making it crispy by frying it twice. - I see, he's frying it twice.
What do I do with the left-over oil?
You can use it again.
The women's club get together to make soaps. You can give it to them.
What the heck is that?
(On the other hand, Chef Sam Kim is making another hash brown)
- Sam Kim is now starting to make toast. - Yes.
- You're making toast? - I put cheddar cheese in the middle and butter in the pan.
He put a double layer on.
- He put a double layer on. - Yes.
- What's he putting in? - An egg. He's poaching it.
He's making poached eggs.
You can fry the egg instead, if you'd like.
He told him to just fry the egg.
There's no need for you to poach the egg.
He told him to fry it instead.
He's putting on a slice of cheese.
He's putting on the second layer of potatoes.
He's putting on another layer.
(9. Squeeze ketchup and honey mustard into a small dish)
(10. Take out fried meat strips and extract oil)
Chef Michael's plating is very pretty.
- Plating for when you put it on Instagram. - He has potatoes on there too.
He's talking about Instagram right now.
This is really simple.
- It's simple. - Mayonnaise! - He doesn't have a sauce.
Michael is finished.
(Chef Sam Kim is now starting to plate his dish)
(13. Plate coleslaw and then plate hash brown toast with a poached egg).
- The poached egg. - Doesn't he need to cook it more?
He was only able to get the yolk from the poached egg.
- Did you do it on purpose? - Yes, I did.
On purpose? Are you sure?
- Are you sure? - Aren't you supposed to have the whites too? - No.
It doesn't seem like he needs the whites since he's putting Hollandaise sauce on it.
- Of course. That's why you're the main MC. - Yes, of course.
- He's being shameless. - He can throw away the whites.
He has lemon as well.
(15. Grind pepper onto toast)
- Sam Kim is finished as well. - Yes, Sam Kim is finished!
Yes, they're both finished with about 5 seconds left.
Both of the dishes look scrumptious.
Which dish looks more pleasing to the eyes?
Chef Sam Kim's.
As soon as Chef Sam Kim pressed the bell...
he actually confessed to something.
He said he left out the bacon.
I forgot the bacon.
You forgot to put in the bacon?
What the heck is going on?
- You need bacon in the dish! - He's really being all-natural.
I don't think the dish needs bacon since it already has a lot of protein in it.
I actually have high cholesterol.
I try avoiding egg yolk.
When I do eat boiled eggs, I like to take out the yolks.
But he has all this yolk for me.
You gave yolk to a person, who avoids yolk.
(A brunch with sirloin steak marinated in soy sauce and garlic with French fries)
(Chef Michael's "Bulunch".
- Do I eat it separately or together? - You can eat the meat. Don't put sauce on it.
Yes, you can use a fork as well.
- I don't need sauce? - No, you don't need to.
- Just like this? - You can put sauce on it, if you like.
It actually looks like fried fish cakes.
Yes, it looks like fried fish cakes from here.
They look like fried fish cakes.
- He's trying it. - Isn't it good that he didn't try it at 10?
- I hope the meat isn't tough. - It can't be chewy.
I thought the marbling was good.
Is it okay? It's not tough?
First, it's not dry or tough at all.
The meat is very tender.
The meat could've tasted too rich, but the marinade takes all that away.
It's not as greasy as you'd think.
Fantastic.
- How did you season it? - Garlic and soy sauce, that's it.
- Just garlic and soy sauce? - Yes.
- Garlic and soy sauce, that's it. - Just garlic and soy sauce? - Yes.
- He's surprised. - He is.
- He's surprised there's only soy sauce. - I put black pepper too.
How come I taste something sour too?
- Lemon. - He squeezed lemon juice on it too.
He didn't use a lot of ingredients but...
he made sure it didn't taste greasy, but it makes you want to eat more as well.
It tastes different than the way it looks, but I'm also glad it tastes different.
- Fantastic. - He says it tastes better than it looks.
Great, how about you try the French fires as well?
The French fries don't look very crispy either.
Yes, they're not visually pleasing.
It really doesn't have any qualities of being crispy.
(What does his silent laugh mean?)
Kim Ji-hoon isn't looking at them favorably right now.
- He didn't speak very favorably of his mom either. - No, he didn't.
- The chefs need to be on their toes. - He's also playing a prosecutor as well.
- It's delicious though. - Is it? - Yes.
(Sam Kim's style brunch with poached eggs on top of toast with coleslaw)
(Chef Sam Kim's "Brunch Thief")
- You can make small slices. - Should I avoid the yolk?
- May I try the salad first? - Yes, you can.
- Coleslaw. - When I eat food...
I try to make sure that I eat a variety of proteins and vegetables equally.
I can't help but give high points for the dish having a variety of nutrients on it.
He's complimenting him for putting a variety of nutrients on the dish.
What do you think?
What is this?
He asked what this was.
It's the first time I've tasted anything like this.
I think this is the first time I've ever tasted this kind of salad dressing.
- Is this because of calamansi? - It's calamansi, plain yogurt and grapes.
It's very refreshing and delicious.
You'll know why I made the salad once you taste the sandwich.
He's going to try the toast now.
This is the main dish.
Didn't you say there was cheddar cheese in-between?
Yes, there's a slice of cheddar in-between the bread.
And then, there's a hash brown on top of the toast.
On top of that is a poached egg yolk.
- When you look at it on screen, it looks very delicious. - Yes.
I want some too.
It looks very filling too.
- I see Min-Jung salivating over there. - Yes.
Here we go. The toast.
(Here we go. A big bite)
All in one bite.
He has a small mouth.
All in one bite.
I wonder how it tastes. He might not like it if he tastes too much of the yolk.
The inside of mouth doesn't feel dry...
but it feels very sticky inside.
Your mouth will feel refreshed once you try the coleslaw.
I see, he has to eat this after.
- It's because it has cheddar cheese in the middle. - Yes, in-between the potatoes.
But...
the coleslaw really combines everything together.
- The coleslaw? - Yes.
The calamansi has a big effect on it.
- It's delicious. - It's delicious? Do you taste anything new?
No, I've tasted this before but it's still delicious.
He likes it the more he eats it.
The hash browns soaked in all of the taste in the dish and combines it as well.
The flavors must be mixing together right now.
Did you just toast the bread in butter?
I spread melted butter in the pan and placed the bread on that.
I placed cheese in-between, place another bread and spread more butter on it.
That's how I make it too.
How comes it tastes so much better?
He's asking why it tastes different when he does the same thing?
Because he's a chef.
Do you think it would've tasted better with bacon?
I think I would've liked it more if it had bacon in it.
(A shame)
- He wanted bacon! - If we ate everything we wanted, we would fail our diets.
How can he try to talk his way out of everything?
- He would've been taken aback in the past. - He took out the bacon for his diet.
We'll try the dishes as well.
- He's on a diet and we're getting this. - I'm trying the potatoes first.
- I like the potatoes. - Isn't it good?
- Good. - It's better than... - Isn't it good?
It's not greasy and it's not dry either.
- I'm glad he squeezed lemon on it. - What do you think, Min-Jung?
It's so delicious.
What's going on? Is she lying?
I'm watching you. It seems a bit suspicious.
Did you see her?
It didn't suit her taste, but she makes it sound like it was so delicious.
It's like the Pavlov syndrome where dogs salivate when they hear a bell.
She answers as soon as she hears the question.
- You should think about the question first. We need your opinion. - Okay.
- The thing I liked... - What did you like? - When I do this, the batter is too thick.
You could taste the meat more and the batter is very thin.
I also didn't feel like it was greasy.
It's very good.
- It's good? - Yes.
- How were the potatoes? - The French fries were also very delicious.
New York has a lot of good places for French fries.
Can you compare between New York French fries and our Bulgarian chef's fries?
It makes me want to live in Bulgaria.
- I see. I don't think we're going to get much more from Seo Min-Jung. - No.
Anyways, we all ate it deliciously.
Now, we'll now try Chef Sam Kim's "Brunch Thief".
- "Brunch Thief". - It might be good to eat it with the salad.
We should eat this after we eat the bread, right?
Do we eat it with ketchup?
I can only see the bread in this part.
(You're thinking of a compliment, aren't you?)
Even after all this time, you can still taste how chewy the bread is.
Did you say this was Hollandaise sauce? I think this is delicious.
It makes the whole dish very moist and combines all the flavors together.
Do you think regular people can follow this recipe?
- Yes, even elementary students could... - Even elementary students?
- You don't need to worry. - They must be culinary geniuses.
I'm the sure the original cooking show host could make it.
He's let go of a lot of things. He's starting to follow the current trend.
- Is that right? - There's a lot of places that put hash brown in-between burgers.
- I see. - It gives the burger texture and keeps the burger moist.
There's a lot of trendiness happening.
He's let go a lot of his pride.
What did you think, Min-Jung?
It's really...
It's really really delicious, isn't it?
Yes!
(You don't have to say a word, we know what you're thinking)
She might say the same thing about all 8 of our chefs.
- I've had grilled sandwiches before. - I see.
But since he put hash brown on top of the bread...
it didn't seem like bread nor did it taste like potatoes.
It tasted like potato bread?
It doesn't taste like potatoes or bread, but it tastes like potato bread.
It's so delicious that people in New York would buy plane tickets to eat this dish.
I'm being serious.
New York is far away and the ticket is expensive.
It's that delicious.
Now, it's time for you to decide.
Number 1 is Michael's "Bulunch".
Number 2 is Sam Kim's "Brunch Thief".
He's decided based on his taste.
Let's verify Kim Ji-hoon's decision. Please, show us!
Will it be Sam Kim or Michael?
Both of the chefs had six wins. Which chef will earn another star first?
Let's verify Kim Ji-hoon's decision. Please, show us!
Who won the battle?
Sam Kim!
Who won the battle?
Sam Kim!
Sam Kim's "Brunch Thief" has won the battle.
- There was one deciding factor as to why I chose this dish. - Yes?
It was the oil.
- The oil! - I don't know what to do with the oil.
- After he uses it. - He doesn't know what to do with it.
I can't fry food everyday either.
I can't throw it out of the sink either.
- That's a great amount. - Yes, that's true.
That's why. That was my biggest reason.
Yes, Sam Kim is the winner today.
Tell us how you feel.
First of all, I know I had a lot of mistakes.
But sometimes, I think it's better to keep being stubborn.
It's better to be stubborn than to accept your mistakes?
Wait a second. Does this mean the poached egg was a mistake?
Yes, it was a mistake.
- I thought so. - The egg whites needed to come up too.
They were supposed to come out together, but the yolk separated from the white.
Just as he said, it would've tasted better with bacon as well.
I see.
- He's going from 6 to 7 wins! - Congratulations.
Congratulations, Sam Kim!
- He's going up another level with his seventh win! - He's moving up!
(Winner: "Brunch Thief".
We'll start our second battle with...
ingredients from Kim Ji-hoon's refrigerator.
Raymond Kim is in charge of beards in Take Good Care of the Fridge...
and he's going against Kim Poong, who is in charge of mustaches.
Raymond Kim has been on a streak with 5 wins in a row.
Raymond Kim is in the lead, all by himself.
He'll be the first to have 10 wins if he wins today's battle.
On the other hand, Kim Poong has lost 4 in a row.
There was a time when most chefs would be knocked-out by Kim Poong.
The chefs organized and told each other they can't let this keep happening.
They needed an assassin and Raymond Kim stepped up.
- They battled 3 times and Raymond Kim won all three times. - Yes.
What do you think? Are the chefs congratulating you?
No one congratulates the chefs when they win Kim Poong.
- Wow! That makes me more upset. - Is that right?
You two are known not to use the oven during the show. Is that right?
I don't think I've ever turned on the oven for a 15-minute battle.
15-minutes isn't enough to cook a dish in the oven.
The fastest way to cook is boiling or frying.
The longest cooking time is the oven.
Do you ever remember using the oven?
This will be the second time I'll be using the oven in my lifetime.
- The second time in his life. - Did I give out too hard of a theme?
(Kim Poong's ingredients: eggs, sliced mozzarella cheese, calamansi extract...
(sliced cheddar cheese, bread crumbs, beef, kimchee, yogurt and onion)
(Chef Raymond Kim's ingredients: potatoes...
tenderloin, honey mustard, sliced mozzarella cheese...
(pork rib patties, bacon, bread crumbs, bulgogi marinade, beer, butter and milk)
Since today's theme is based on "Cooking Logic, Bang-Bang"...
we're requesting you explain your answers...
as if you were explaining to little children.
Please explain in a cute, darling and as friendly as possible for all your answers.
- Of course. - What kind of dish will you be making, Kim Poong?
The name of my dish today is...
"Homemade Rice Oven Pizza".
- Is it "Homemade Rice Oven Pizza"? - Yes, it is.
You're being very cute.
To begin with, we don't have any bread for the pizza.
- Since we don't have bread, I'll be using rice instead. - I see.
I'm going to replace bread with rice.
- If it cooks in time, it'll turn out to be like bread. - Okay.
If it doesn't cook in time, it'll turn out to be porridge.
It'll either be porridge or bread.
- (Porridge=Jook & Bang=Bread) - (Jookbang=Punch)
He's going to punch us?
My daddy says punching people is a bad thing.
If it refers to food, it's a good thing.
- Really? - You'll spoon your pizza if it turns into porridge.
Or you'll be able to hold it if it turns into bread.
I'm looking forward to this now.
I'm wondering how this person is going to explain his dish to Cherry.
Chef Raymond Kim! What kind of dish are you making for us today?
- The dish I'll be making today is... - Yes?
"Spoon Your Burger".
"Spoon Your Burger"!
Wow! I bet that'll be delicious!
I believe Ji-hoon likes food that are a bit sweet.
- Yes? - I'm planning to make bulgogi burgers for him.
- You're making bulgogi burgers! - Yes.
- I brought out everything since there wasn't much in the fridge. - I see.
It also looks like someone else used all the bread too.
- Who used it all? - Who was it?
There wasn't much bread, but Sam Kim used it all.
- He's enjoying himself. - I'll put in bread crumbs instead.
You'll get a sense of what it would taste like with bread.
- I see. - Geez, I can't keep this up.
That was good. We'll now begin our cooking battle between Kim Poong and Raymond Kim.
It's the trendiest chef, who specializes in everything.
Chef Raymond Kim leads everyone and will show a classy oven dish versus...
a man, who puts us on the edge with each battle.
But today, he'll throw one swift punch...
with his one-punch oven dish and take Chef Raymond Kim out.
In the end, will Kim Poong be able to punch out Chef Raymond Kim?
We'll now begin our oven cooking battle!
- "Oven Dishes, Bang-Bang"! - Bang-bang!
- Please put instant rice into a blender. - I see, in a blender.
- You don't need to cook it? - No, you can't put it right in the blender.
(1. Blend together instant rice, eggs, salt and bread crumbs to make dough)
- Now, you can put it in an oven pan. - Yes.
All you need to do is press it to make the dough.
- Will that make it into bread? - Of course.
Could it turn to porridge too?
- If you listen to your mom very well, it'll turn into bread. - I see.
But it'll turn into porridge if you do bad things and don't listen to your dad.
- I guess it'll turn into porridge. - Yes.
This will go into the oven now.
(Within a minute, he puts in the rice dough into the oven)
(Chef Raymond Kim preps onions first)
(1. Begin to saute onions in an oiled pan and sauce pot)
Why are you cooking onions in two different places, Raymond?
- I'm trying to bring out the onion's sweetness. - Sweetness?
- Yes, sweetness. - I see.
(Next, he begins to work on the sirloin to make hamburger patties)
(2. Cut tenderloin to pieces and put into blender to grind)
He's cooking bacon.
He's using the bacon Sam Kim forgot to use before.
This is the way you should chop your meat.
Wow! That looks so fun!
That looks fun.
- Put all of this in one bowl. - Okay.
(3. After tenderizing your meat, add soy sauce...
(minced garlic, minced ginger and corn starch to mix together)
Please separate the egg yolk from the egg whites.
Why do we need to separate them?
The reason we separate them is because... it's just not allowed.
- Why not? - I don't know either.
That's how our forefathers made it.
Our chef forefathers said this is the way to make it.
- Did you learn too? - Yes, I learned it as well.
Where did you learn how to cook?
Youtube.
- Youtube has everything. - It has everything? - Yep.
You should search Youtube if you want to learn how to cook.
(5. Place marinated meat into a dry pan and saute)
- Currently Kim Poong gets higher points for being friendly to children. - Yes.
(Chef Raymond Kim begins to take out his ground meat)
What's that? Didn't we see that before?
- Wasn't it hamburger steak? - Wasn't it pork?
Yes, it was the ground pork.
(He places the pan-cooked bacon into the fryer)
Chef Raymond Kim is using the oil that Chef Michael used to fry his potatoes.
Just as I thought, Raymond! That's great!
Yes, we need to recycle instead of throwing it away.
(5. Fry cooked bacon in oil again)
(6. While cooking the hamburger meat, add salt, pepper and bulgogi sauce)
- He's adding beer? - The chef is starting to drink.
- I'm not drinking it, I'm putting it in. - Beer in children's food?
Why did you put beer into your dish?
I think the beer will make the dish more moist and easier to use a spoon.
- Children, it's dangerous to drink the beer. - Thank you.
There will come a day when you'll drink even if you don't want to.
People make you drink when you come out to society.
(7. In the sauce pot with cooked onions, add butter, milk to make white sauce)
What's that? Is that a sauce?
I wanted the dish to be more moist since we're using spoons.
- That's why I'm making a white sauce. - You just spread it all over?
Are you going to put that sauce in the bottom?
- I'm putting it in the middle. - I see, in the middle.
When you saute kimchee, it's becomes more delicious if you add chili paste.
He's putting kimchee in the pizza.
- Chili paste as well. - Did you learn that on Youtube as well
This is a secret many restaurant owners told me.
When you put chili paste into kimchee...
it makes the kimchee seem as if it's been fermented for a long time.
It brings out all the flavors.
None of the dishes have gone into the oven yet.
What we need to look for is how much the dish is cooked before going into the oven.
- Pre-cooking the dishes? - Yes, since the oven takes too long.
It's over once the dish goes into the oven.
- Because it takes long? - Yes, it's done once it's in.
You'll be able to save time as well if you do most of the cooking outside the oven.
(At that moment, an oven dish appears)
(9. In an oven-safe dish, layer hamburger meat...
(ketchup sauce and sliced mozzarella cheese)
It's finally going in the oven!
It's going in with 6 minutes and 20 seconds left.
The dish went in with 6:20 on the clock.
(11. Chop cooked bacon and spread on top of dish)
(It's not over until everything is over)
(Kim Poong takes out the cooked rice dough from the oven)
He's beginning to shred cabbage.
(7. Shred cabbage onto the cooked rice dough)
(8. Top cabbage with bulgogi, cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese)
- It's going back into the oven. - He only has 5 minutes left.
Kim Poong's dish is going the oven with 5:50 on the clock.
Will the dishes turn out properly?
Where are you going to use the sauteed kimchee?
- This sauce will go on top of the pizza. - You're going to put that on last?
Of course.
Can you go see what's going on, Kim Seong-joo? We only have 5 minutes left.
- Yes, I'll go see. - See how the pizza and hamburger are coming along.
Currently, both chefs have their dishes inside the oven already.
The oven temperature for Raymond Kim is 450 degrees.
- 450 degrees? - Yes, it's at 450 degrees.
I'll go check out the temperature on Kim Poong's oven.
Wait! Did you turn your oven on, Kim Poong?
How come the temperature isn't displayed?
- You need to press the power button! - Oh no.
No, Kim Poong!
- He didn't press the power button. - He forgot.
What will we do? What would've happened if I didn't see it?
- There's only 4 minutes left. - He doesn't have much time!
He might have served raw food!
There's only 4:30 on the clock.
He put the timer on for 7 minutes when there's only 4:30 on the clock.
Should I try some of this? May I taste your kimchee?
- Yes! - You can try it.
You're welcome to taste it. You shouldn't say anything if it doesn't taste good.
- What if it tastes good. - Then you can tell everyone.
- Alright. - Do you promise? - Yes.
I'm going to try the kimchee that Mr. Kim Poong made.
(Slurps it in)
Do you want to say something or nothing at all?
I don't want to say anything!
- I don't want to. - Why not?
This is extremely salty, mister.
- It's okay. - It's extremely spicy too. You put too much chili paste in.
(Chef Raymond Kim begins to slice potatoes)
(12. Mix potatoes with starch and begin to fry)
- He's frying potatoes too. - Wow.
What are you doing here?
These are potatoes and there's a dish from a Canadian called tortiere.
I got the idea from that dish.
Do you know a way to make French fries tasty?
- A good amount of salt and pepper makes French fries tasty. - Really?
What's a good amount?
(Keep your mouth closed)
- Oh, it's good. - Is it?
It's good. It's very good, mister!
- That's good to hear. - He's taking out his dish!
Raymond Kim is taking out his dish with 1:15 left on the clock.
He took it out with a minute left.
- What are you making? - A sauce.
(11. Make yogurt sauce with yogurt, minced garlic...
(egg yolk, mayonnaise, salt and calamansi extract)
- What are you making, mister? - I'm afraid the dish might be a bit too salty.
So, I'm making a sauce to go along with the dish.
(Fried potatoes are garnished on top of the hamburger dish)
(13. After covering the dish with potatoes, spread ketchup and honey mustard)
He's finished! Chef Raymond Kim is finished with his dish.
Raymond Kim is finished with about 20 seconds left.
You only have about 15 seconds left, Kim Poong.
- Put down a coaster for me. - The color came out nicely.
He made that in the oven.
Kim Poong is using all the time he can. He has 5 seconds left on the clock.
Five!
Four!
Three!
Two!
One!
Kim Poong is also finished with his dish.
(It's hamburger and fries you can eat with a spoon)
(Chef Raymond Kim's "Spoon Your Burger".
He's trying it now. It's hamburger you can eat with a spoon.
That's part would be the patty.
- It's very big. - Yes.
- He's wrapping it with fries. - I need the patty to make it into a burger.
That's right.
He's trying it.
This is "Spoon Your Burger".
This is when Kim Poong should've made a Chinese dish.
- He looks very serious. - Yes.
It looks like it might still be raw.
- He looks like a prosecutor. - He doesn't seem to like it.
- An expression of doubt? - His expression when questioning people?
- To give you the conclusion... - The conclusion?
- It's very good. - It's good?
The flavors start helping one another out when you begin chewing it.
There's a time when everything combines and tastes like one whole dish.
Does it taste greasy?
- It doesn't taste greasy. - My goodness.
Since it's made with bulgogi sauce...
you can taste the sweetness of the sauce, but there's no room for it to be greasy...
since it also has the ketchup sauce in the middle.
- It's not greasy at all. - Is this better or a regular burger?
- A regular burger is better. - A regular burger.
(Getting dizzy)
(This is what I'm talking about)
- I bet the producer is calling you. - Yes.
Min-Jung! What the heck is wrong with Ji-hoon?
- I know. - Tell him to be nicer.
Is this better or a regular burger?
- This is way better. - I thought so.
The flavors hit you slowly. There's a time when all the flavors mix together.
I don't think it's right to call it a burger.
It's not an imitation of a burger, but it's a tasty dish all on its own.
It shouldn't be compared to burgers.
(A pizza made with rice and topped off with kimchee sauce)
(Kim Poong's "Homemade Rice Oven Pizza")
- It looks like porridge. - He's spooning a slice.
- Will it be bread? - I think it's great porridge.
(Visually heavy)
Excuse me.
- There's rice on the bottom. - Yes, there is.
- The rice is the pizza dough. - The rice is important.
It's rice pizza.
Homemade rice pizza. The dough isn't pizza dough but it's actually rice.
The main point in the dish will be the cabbage that's in the middle.
Really?
- He put a lot in. - I tried putting as much cabbage in the middle.
It'll made a big difference in the dish.
You won't need the sauce.
- Rice pizza! - It's pizza you can use a spoon with. - It's a twist in events.
Rice pizza.
(Coughing)
- He's coughing. - Probably because of the spiciness.
- This is spicy. - Yes, I'm sure it is.
Did you put too much sauce in?
He said the cabbage would make a difference.
(Scoffing)
I couldn't taste if there was cabbage in the dish when you said that.
- That's why I laughed. - The cabbage needs to make a difference.
How will it make a difference?
The cabbage itself is a bit on the sweet side and it'll keep the pizza moist.
It'll bring happiness to the dish, but if you feel that it's too spicy...
I've also prepared a white sauce for children, who don't like spicy foods.
You can use that sauce on the dish.
He wants you to use the sweet white sauce if the dish is too spicy.
He's trying to make it less spicy with the white sauce.
(He puts another full spoon of rice pizza in his mouth)
His expression looks better than before.
He must've gotten a lot of the cabbage.
I liked it better when it was spicy.
It was better when it was spicy?
- What twist of events. I didn't see that coming. - No, me neither.
- Spicy is better? - What kind of sauce is this?
It's mayonnaise, calamansi extract, salt, yogurt and garlic.
Isn't that what I made?
- What did you make? - The same thing.
How come it tastes different than before?
If I were to give a comparison, the previous salad dressing was very light.
It subtly combined the flavors.
But this dressing keeps wanting to be in the spotlight.
- The sauce is... - I see what he's saying.
- I'm sorry, but it doesn't go well with the dish. - I see.
Excuse me, but did you just copy Chef Sam Kim's salad dressing?
(He's been caught)
(No one else, but Kim Poong)
He's a very quick learner.
He really is a human copier.
To explain this dish, the cheeses make the dish very rich but...
the kimchee sauce keeps it from being too greasy. You can also taste the cabbage.
- I see. - I'm sure there are people, who like salty and spicy foods.
I believe this dish could be delicious for those kinds of people
- Shall we try it as well? - Yes. - Yes!
- First let's try Raymond Kim's "Spoon Your Burger". - "Spoon Your Burger".
We're going to try Raymond Kim's dish first.
This is fascinating.
- It tastes like a burger. - Do you remember...
the snack shop in our school? They used to sell pre-made burgers in there.
- Do you know what I mean? - Yes.
It tastes exactly like that.
- It's nicely seasoned. - Yes.
This brings back memories.
What did you think, Seo Min-Jung?
It's really delicious.
No, I'm being very serious.
- The tastes is really fascinating. - It's fascinating? - Yes.
I don't know how they can be more imaginative.
The texture is kind of like when you melt rice cakes.
Do you think people from New York would fly out here for this as well?
- Oh, sure. - She said, "Oh, sure".
Yes, yes, yes. Of course.
You can take her answer any which way you'd like.
She wants us to stop asking questions.
Didn't you put in bread crumbs in the middle?
If I had more time, I would've soaked the bread crumbs in milk or beer first.
I didn't have much time, so I mixed beer in with everything.
I think that's why the texture of the dish was very smooth.
It was really delicious because it was so smooth.
I think it would've been better with some spice in it.
- You would've liked it spicier? - Yes.
- But it's delicious. - You'll get spice with the next dish.
Yes, the next dish.
That's great. The next dish is from Kim Poong.
- "Homemade Oven Rice Pizza". - Yes, 15-minute, "Homemade Oven Rice Pizza".
This tastes totally different from the other dish.
This is a very Korean dish.
If you adjust the sauce, it'll taste like pizza but with mixed rice on top of it.
- What is that? - It's like pizza, but with mixed rice on top of it.
It seems like an international family's dish.
- Should mom make dinner or dad? - They were fighting over who'd make dinner?
The dish has everything. It has a salad, stew and even rice in the dish.
Thank you. Was it delicious, Seo Min-Jung?
It's delicious.
- It's really delicious? - Yes. - What did you like best about it?
- You know how he said he purposely put in the cabbage? - Yes.
I actually tasted the cabbage and its aroma in the dish.
That's why I thought the dish was very fresh.
I glanced over and looked at you while you were eating this.
I saw you shaking your head. What did you mean by that?
Because it was so delicious.
How could it taste this good?
You were thinking, "This is so delicious".
(The only one on pins and needles)
- She really is the icon of all considerate people. - Yes, she is.

- Kim Ji-hoon chose Raymond Kim. - Yes.
I'd like to give my greatest compliments to Kim Poong as well.
It was very imaginative.
I can't believe he thought of collaborating rice with a Western dish.
I highly respect his imagination and his will to try new things.
Yes, that's very true.
With an exceptional theme and his sixth win a row, he's first to have 10 wins.
- Congratulations! - Congratulations!
- Raymond! - Thank you for the meal.
It's now, Raymond's era!
Yes, it's Raymond's era.
Chunky!
(Winner: "Spoon Your Burger")
It's been 10-years since Seo Min-Jung has visited Korea. It's her final schedule.
The reason why I chose this program is...
because I heard it takes 10-hours to record this show.
It would be a shame if it ended too quickly.
I'd be happy if we could record for another 10-hours.
She's cooked for many in New York as well.
Korean food is very popular.
I have friends, who come over to eat soybean paste soup when they catch a cold.
We'll reveal what's in a New York house!
I have pickled cucumbers, marinated fish and marinated deodeok.
I tried making potato root saute as well.
You're a good cook.
It's her last feast before returning to New York.
I've always been the one, who had to cook for my family.
I might start crying when I see someone else cook food for me.
Ji-hoon will know if you're lying to us.
I can tell right away.
(She takes one bite and nods her head)
(She fails on her first try)
- You need to tell us after you chew the food. - I know.
(Fails the second time as well)
What's this? That's not how you're supposed to respond.
(Every Monday night at 9:30)
She's not lying this time. It's for real.
- She's not lying? - No, she's telling the truth.
