- Turn your leftovers into fine dining.
- Korea's top chefs will
empty out your fridge.
- High-quality cooking show Chef & My Fridge!
They catch your eyes and make you fall in love with cooking.
Let me introduce our eight chefs.
- Nice to see you all.
- Welcome, it's good to see you all.
It's been three months already since a new season started in 2017.
- Right, time flies.
- I expected to see a four-star chef last time.
But they all unexpectedly lost as if with one accord.
So we don't have a four-star chef yet.
I guess there is no absolute winner.
- You're right.
There is neither absolute winner nor absolute weak. - Right.
- After watching the previous episode,
a number of chefs have been making inquiries by phone.
I received phone calls from 13 chefs already.
They wanted to join this show right away.
I guarantee you can win the first place
if you join this show right now.
Today, we have a chef who's returning to make his first appearance in 2017.
- It's his first time in 2017.
- Lee Won-il is back here today.
- Good to see you.
- It's been a while.
- Right.
- Actually, I was one of the 13 callers.
- You wanted to join right away, right?
- Yes.
- You figured it's the right time to return, right?
- He was crying out so much that he's lost his voice.
- So you're here even though you're sick, right?
Do you think you're going to be okay today?
You have to smell things while cooking.
- My tongue is back though.
- You can just go and rest if you want.
I just want to let you know we have a plenty of chefs waiting back there.
- We can switch right away if necessary.
- Jae-hoon, just wait there.
Don't leave yet.
- The seat can be open any time.
- Well.
It's time to introduce our today's guests.
They are undoubtedly true entertainers.
They are certainly better than Ho-young.
They are professional.
Let me introduce our today's guests.
Come on out.
They are rising stars.
They're true entertainers.
Jo Se-ho and DinDin.
- Welcome.
He used to be famous as a professional absentee, but he's
now finding his fame as a new variety show host.
- Hi, everyone.
From Yang Bae-chu to Jo Se-ho or Chao Shu Hao.
I've been making appearances with different names.
This is Se-ho. Thanks for inviting me here.
- It's time to introduce our next guest.
We can't see him on music shows.
- But he's a singer.
- He's a singer.
Is he a rapper?
- Yes, he is.
- We can see him on variety shows almost every day.
Although he doesn't have any hit song, he's calling himself a hit maker.
It's DinDin.
- DinDin!
- Welcome.
- Hi, everyone.
This is DinDin, a rising star of 2017.
Are you excited to see me?
- It's exciting.
- He's interesting!
Excellent.
- A few months ago, I couldn't hear much about him.
- You're right.
- He used to be almost nonexistent in the world of variety shows.
- In fact, I was a host of the TV show
called 'Thanks for the Food'.
He used to be a regular panel member of the show.
He's doing well. It's nice to be invited here with him.
- I think he looks very uncomfortable.
- No, that's not true.
The staff asked me to recommend any guest.
I recommended you.
- You did it for me then?
- I'm not sure I should put it that way.
- I think you did it for him.
- But the one who did it for me is right here.
- Really?
I did it for this guy as well.
- I can see how it's been going.
- 1, 2, 3, 4.
- That's right.
We are all connected.
You two are here as guests today, right?
It seems that you have a lot in common.
Both of you are short.
- That's right.
- How can you be so sure about that?
Right, we are short ones in the world of variety shows.
- I think short ones have a lot of luck.
- Also, they're famous for being from rich families.
- That's right.
- Right.
We heard many stories about
Se-ho's family on different TV shows.
- That's right.
- But the rumor got exaggerated somehow.
People thought my father's making three million dollars annually.
- Wow.
- Really?
- Is it true?
- No, it's not true.
- Really?
- Sorry, it's not true.
One day, I told a news reporter that it's not true during an interview.
I even said 'Should I show you the bank statement?'.
He said it's a good idea.
I didn't want to show his bank statement
just to prove it.
After the rumor got circulated,
I even started thinking it might be true.
There's a possibility that
he didn't tell me the truth.
It's possible, right?
- You're right.
- The number's too specific.
- It's possible he did it for my sake.
- He usually doesn't drink, but he asked me
to have some beer with him one day.
So I imagined he's going to say these.
'Son, the rumor's all true'.
'I've kept the secret to teach you right'.
'The account is all yours now'.
- That's your imagination, right?
That's right.
- In reality, he made a serious look all of a sudden.
- He told me the truth.
'We have a debt'.
- A debt, right?
- It's funny.
- 'Son, we have a debt'.
- 'We have a debt'.
'I think you should help me pay off the debt'.
'I really need your help'.
But the latter part of the conversation was very sad.
He felt sorry that
it's not true.
- Oh my...
- So I told him not to worry.
I made a promise that I would
work hard to make that money.
But I don't think I can keep the promise since I'm spending too much.
- People say that what you're
using and wearing are all luxury items.
- Right, that's true.
- Many of them are expensive, right?
I guess that's why the rumor's got bigger.
- To be honest, I just didn't want to
lose to anyone at that time.
I didn't have much work in those days.
You know some people judge you
by your styles and appearances, right?
- You're right.
- But the problem is that they don't think that way.
Because of my inferiority complex, I kept forcing myself to dress up nicely
not to get looked down.
That's why I was overspending.
- I completely understand what he's saying.
When I was in Italy, I was wearing a sweat suit most of the time, but
they began to look down on me.
So I started to dress up as well.
I know how it feels.
- I did an interview one day.
There were four other comedians there.
The reporter asked us
'How would you describe yourself?'
They took photos while asking questions.
I answered we're just men below average.
But the photo was taken like this.
- Right.
- There were a lot of negative reactions to the watch.
They're like 'How can a man below average wear a watch like that?'.
- The watch must be shown in the picture.
- The board was full of bad comments.
So I didn't wear that watch
for about a year after that happened.
But now, I'm wearing it again to show the real me.
I saved money to buy this watch since I wanted it so bad from an early age.
- When he's not wearing that watch, I heard
that story while having a drink with him.
I asked him to sell it to me.
There were some price negotiations.
He finally decided to sell it for $500.
- $500?
- But I couldn't reach him after that day.
- I guess he's all words.
- Even a fake one is worth more than $500.
You must be joking.
- I see he just couldn't get angry with him at that time.
- Okay?
- I have the same watch, but I haven't worn it after he began wearing it.
- Right.
- You're not going to wear it then, right?
- No.
- Then, I'll buy it.
How about $500?
- $500.
- In the past, I used to overspend
to get what I wanted.
But after I got home, I started feeling emptiness all of a sudden.
I felt emptiness after all.
I had to rethink about my life...
- You're right.
- You know people who can afford those things should have bigger houses.
But I was living in a studio.
- Right.
- I thought I'd become a swindler.
I really mean it.
- He's absolutely right.
- I had to pretend to be rich by paying things since I was wearing expensive ones.
So every time I got back home after treating, I felt emptiness.
- Right, he's treating a lot of juniors.
- Yes, he is.
He won't let me pay all the time.
He even gives me pocket money sometimes.
- I've received a lot from seniors.
So I think it's right to return their favor
by treating juniors.
- I remember he paid for everything
every time he visited my restaurant with his friends.
- But the problem is that I feel emptiness after all.
- He's right.
- He has such good manners.
I had a drink with him last time.
In the middle of it, he suddenly went outside and brought a hangover drink.
He handed that hangover drink to me.
So I had to give him some pocket money
as a rising star.
I couldn't drink it for free.
- But it was a bit funny.
He asked my age all of a sudden.
So I answered I was 26 years old.
And then, he took out his wallet.
I said I was okay. But he's like '26 years old, right?'.
So I said yes.
And he gave me $30 after all.
- Come on!
- I thought it's weird...
- You're making things up.
- since I was also making some good money as a rising star.
I couldn't understand why he had to give me that money.
- I just heard the voice of Wheesung from you.
- Hey!
Why did it suddenly change to $30?
- The hangover drink alone is worth more than $30.
- Let me tell you the truth.
- Go ahead and tell us the truth.
- It's $50, right?
I gave him $50.
I gave you a $50 bill. $30 for the hangover drink and $20 for taxi fare.
- Okay, $30 for the hangover drink.
He didn't want me to pay for the hangover drink.
- Also, I wasn't that arrogant
as he described...
Why would I do that?
- You asked my age, didn't you?
- I did ask, but you answered
you're 26 years old.
So I figured $50 was enough.
- I see that's a bit true then.
- I didn't want to give him too much money at first
since he could have such a high expectation from the beginning.
The question about his age was no big deal.
- He has such a big picture in his head.
- Of course.
- I thought you're going to give me $260.
- I did it for your sake.
I think things just got settled between you two.
I heard you don't even look at the bill before paying.
- Excuse me?
- Is that true?
- He visited my restaurant once
with Lee Jai-Jin and his sister.
- He's paying for the dishes.
But after reading the bill quite a while,
- Did he look at it?
- What did he say?
- he asked 'Can I pay in installments?'.
- It's embarrassing.
How embarrassing!
- Just don't pay if you can't afford.
- Exactly...
No wonder you feel emptiness at home.
- I guess he wants to be remembered as a senior who doesn't even look at the bill.
- Let me explain why I pay in installments.
Listen to me.
I can cherish the precious memory with them that way...
I remember I went there with them by doing so.
The length of installment depends
on the level of closeness. It can reach a maximum of 12 months.
In that case, I would want to remember for a year.
For example, if I pay on the 12-month installment plan,
I cherish the memory with them for a year.
- We have two rising stars here today.
They are new variety show hosts.
Let's dig into Se-ho's fridge first.
You used to live with Nam Chang-hee, right?
- Yes, I lived with him for about 4 years.
It's been around 8 months since I started living alone.
- Really?
- It's not that long ago.
- How do you feel? Do you enjoy living alone?
- Whenever I got back home, he was
either watching TV or drinking there.
But since there's no one, I feel lonely sometimes.
But it's okay since a lot of friends visit my place often.
- Who?
- Chang-hee does.
- Who?
- Chang-hee.
- There must be someone.
- I heard you're not lonely any more.
- It's because I have a dog.
- Are you sure you're talking about a dog, not a person?
- I have a French Bulldog.
- Has any young lady visited your place?
- Yes, a few ladies visited my place in a group.
- Really?
- Yes.
- I heard one of them didn't leave.
- She stayed, but I left.
Shall we move on?
There are a lot of obstacles here.
- Do you cook at home?
- I've been doing cooking shows for long.
I also love eating.
So I enjoy cooking at home.
- He's a good cook.
- Really?
It's time to see how a rising star lives.
Let's open Se-ho's fridge.
It's clean and neat.
- Yes, it's clean.
- Isn't it?
- Is it true that you're living alone?
- Yes, it's true.
- Are you sure there isn't anyone who cleans your fridge for you?
- It used to be empty all the time.
So one of my dreams was to make my fridge always full.
It makes me feel happy
and successful.
To maximize the feeling, I try to keep it neat and clean.
- It really is very clean and neat.
- Right.
Let's look at the first section.
Did your mother make this soy sauce braised beef for you?
- Yes, she did.
She made it with brisket.
- The pieces seem very big.
- Yes.
She has an open hand.
- They are big and thick.
- Isn't this a typical side dish for the rich?
- You're right.
- My mother visits my place from time to time.
She goes shopping to fill up the fridge with new groceries sometimes.
- I see.
I can see a bottle of wine here.
- It's leftover wine.
- I see.
Do you drink this alone?
- But it's mostly for display.
- To show off when a lady visits, right?
- Someone can open my fridge at any time.
I want to make it look elegant.
- It has to be leftover wine.
New bottles don't look good.
- If you go deeper, you can find three more bottles there.
- These were made in 2011 and 2012.
They are all bottles of leftover wine.
- That's what I'm talking about.
- It does look elegant.
What's this?
- These are olives.
- It seems they're black olives.
- Yes, these are black olives.
- It seems these are olives as well.
- They are green olives.
To be honest, they are for display as well.
- The jars seem very full.
- I got them from a department store because they looked pretty.
Even though the expiration date has passed,
I keep them since they still look good.
- His girlfriend must know what he's doing. - I can see the expiry date has passed.
From 2012 to 2015.
- I've never opened them.
- I guess these can't be used for cooking.
- Of course.
- His fridge's almost like a picture frame.
- That's right.
I think of it as a piece of art work.
- I see it's mostly for display.
- But still, he has a lot of things in the fridge.
- Is this cheese also for display?
- That one seems too old as well.
- I actually use it for cooking.
I saw chefs were grating it when
making pasta on cooking shows,
so I'm doing it at home as well.
- Do you grate it over a dish?
- Yes.
- Let's check out this one.
Wow, it's foie gras.
- Foie gras?
Isn't it for display?
- Is this for display?
- It's for display, but...
- Can we eat it?
- I'm thinking it's time to open it.
A close friend bought it for me as a gift
when he went on a trip to Paris.
But I have no idea how to use it for cooking.
- Right.
- You want to try using it then, right?
- Yes, I really do.
- You're saying this can be used here, right?
- Sure, go ahead.
- I guess you can possibly learn how to use it today then.
- That sounds great.
You can use all of it.
- We have whipping cream here.
- I use it to make a sauce.
I really love carbonara.
- Right, it's delicious.
- I actually started cooking because
I wanted to have carbonara at any time.
So I have whipping cream in my fridge all the time
since I need it to make carbonara.
- It's something that you can't have if you don't cook at home.
What kind of mushroom is this?
It's Beech mushroom.
It's great that you have mushrooms here.
- I personally love button mushroom.
- Do you put it in pasta?
- I use it when making pasta, risotto,
steak, or ratatouille.
When making ratatouille, I cut it into
big pieces and put it in the tomato sauce.
- I can tell you did cook a lot for women.
- I think he's ready to be a good boyfriend.
Right, he can be a good husband.
- He knows how to cook. - I'm making some good money as well.
- Let's check out the bottom section for vegetables.
- I enjoy eating vegetables.
- We also have eggplants here.
- The bell peppers are for decoration.
- It seems some are for either decoration or display.
- The bell peppers are pretty much like
uninvited friends.
- I see.
- I place them on a salad to make
it look pretty because of their colors.
- Let's check out his freezer.
- I can tell he's living alone.
- We have some pork neck here.
- That's right. It's pork neck.
- It's pork belly.
- I think that's pork rib.
- Okay.
- Which part of beef is this?
- Let me see.
I think it's top blade.
- Are these for steak?
- Yes.
- It seems you enjoy eating steak, right?
- I love steak.
These are all tenderloin steaks.
- You must be crazy about steak.
- Right, I really love meat.
I love meat so much that I look at
the marbling when I visit butcher's shops.
That makes me feel happy.
It really does.
- If you love the marbling so much,
why don't you just put the wallpaper with a marble pattern on your wall?
- Sorry, I don't want to become a pig.
- It seems that you have no chicken here.
Well, chicken is...
- I used to eat a lot of chicken when on a diet.
I ate it too much at that time.
So I'm fed up with chicken...
- I see.
- I also had issues with chicken breast.
I began eating it with nothing at first.
It was so plain that I started eating it with some bread.
But it was still too plain.
So I added mayo and mustard
plus grilled bacon.
It somehow turned into a nice sandwich.
It's like a club sandwich.
- That must've been fattening.
- Right.
- Here, we also have some scallops.
- I really love them.
I defrost six to seven pieces first.
- With a glass of beer?
- And then, I grill them on the frying pan.
I also add some seasoning powder.
I really enjoy eating them with some beer.
That's why I have them in my freezer all the time.
- We have about 15 pieces left here.
We just finished examining his freezer.
It's time to check out his groceries outside the fridge.
He has a lot of noodles.
- There are many kinds.
- I love noodles.
- I can see spaghetti here as well.
- We see a lot of noodles displayed in restaurants, right?
Displaying them like that makes me feel successful.
- This one seems quite expensive.
- It's truffle oil.
- Sometimes, we have leftover fries after eating a burger, right?
I deep-fry them again and
add a little bit of salt and truffle oil
plus some mayo.
- He knows how to eat.
- That's it. Thanks.
- Wow, it's amazing...
- It's time to see what kinds of dishes Se-ho wants today.
Let's check out his wish dishes.
Let's see.
Here are his wish dishes.
The first one is the dish that can knock him down with flour.
The second one is the dish that can knock him down with meat.
- Sometimes people ask 'What would you eat
on the last day of your life?', right?
- Right.
- I would like to eat noodle and meat
on the last day.
That's how much I love noodles.
If possible, I want to get knocked down by flour.
I want to eat it as much as I can.
I also want to get knocked down by meat.
- I guess all of the today's dishes have to knock you down, right?
- After eating really delicious food,
sometimes you feel attacked, right?
I'm not sure I can use this expression, but
I would like to feel my blood vessels get blocked.
I want something that is not healthy but makes me feel good.
I think you know what I'm talking about.
- That's great.
We have a list of four chefs for his fridge here.
- I can't wait to see it.
- The first seed is Kim Poong.
He has 3 wins and 2 losses.
The second seed is Lee Yeon-bok.
He also has 3 wins and 2 losses.
The third seed is Jung Ho-young with 1 win and 1 loss.
The last fourth seed is Lee Won-il.
Kim Poong, Lee Yeon-bok, Jung Ho-young, and Lee Won-il.
- It must be a difficult choice to make.
- I'm going to knock him down
with my meat dish today.
- So are you going for the second one?
- Yes.
- You're going to knock him down with meat, right?
- That's quite unexpected.
- You know flour is fattening, so
I will go for the first one.
- Flour.
- Then, the three-star chefs are not having a match with each other today.
- I made too many dishes with flour here.
So I'm going for meat today.
- Really?
- Wow.
- Poong has no choice then. He has to go for flour.
It's time to begin the first match.
Our two true entertainers are having a match today.
It's a match between Ho-young and Poong.
We went over your records of last season.
Each of you has a record of 2 wins and 2 losses against one another.
It's close.
- I've been wondering. Is Poong really that good?
- He's sharing the lead with a record of three wins this season.
If he wins this match, he will become
the first four-star chef of this season.
- He will be on the top alone.
- That's going to be a historic moment.
So, Ho-young must be feeling some pressure.
- Right, I feel burdened.
I have a lot to lose.
So I'm very nervous now.
- You tried his noodle dish, right?
- It's the best.
- I tried his udon and other dishes.
I thought nothing could be better than his dishes.
- What strategies are they going to use today?
Ho-young, what are you making?
- The dish I'm making today is
Udon TT.
- Udon TT, Udon TT.
- He's so adorable.
- I'm going to make udon and fried vegetables with flour.
It's my first time to make udon
on this show.
Since you like vegetables, I'm going to make Japanese-style fried vegetables
with mushroom, zucchini, eggplant, onion, and carrot.
You will have them with cold udon.
- Is it cold udon?
- I personally prefer cold dishes to hot ones.
- I agree.
- I love cold dishes.
- Do you feel sick?
- I'm so nervous that I'm having a sour stomach.
I really shouldn't lose this time.
- Right, it can be damaging.
- He's right.
It's his specialty.
- Well.
Excuse me, what was it?
- Udon TT, Udon TT.
- I think he doesn't know the song.
- Even if you're not selected, could you do 'That's too mean~'?...
- If you're selected, please do 'Shy Shy Shy~'.
- Good.
- The title of my dish is Long Poong Noodle.
- Long Poong Noodle.
- Is the noodle long?
- That's right. It's long.
In China, there's a noodle dish called Long Life Noodle.
It's one-strand noodle.
- It's called Long Life Noodle because
it means to wish for a long life.
But I'm not sure how he can make it here.
You usually have to mature the dough.
- I'm sure he will be alright
since he's doing a noodle commercial now.
If he can't handle it well,
he must step down.
- It's going to be a bit like hot and sour soup.
- Hot and sour soup?
- What is that?
- It's going to be a bit sour and clean.
But the soup will be hot.
- It's going from one extreme to another.
- So it's noodle versus noodle.
I mean it's cold noodle versus hot noodle.
It's time to begin their cooking battle.
He doesn't want you to judge by appearance.
Poong's determined to knock him down with flour.
A true entertainer Ho-young attempts to win more stars.
It's Kim Poong versus Jung Ho-young.
Are we going to have a new four-star chef?
Let's begin the noodle battle.
Are we going to have a new four-star chef today?
Wow, Kim Poong.
- They seem really busy already.
- They have to make noodle.
Poong, is it going to be thin noodle?
- I don't know yet. You will see.
- I see.
- Gravity.
- I guess he's not sure yet.
- Poong is making noodle.
- He can make it chewy by doing so.
- It's amazing.
- The noodle dough's completed.
Ho-young is making udon.
Yeon-bok, what are you doing to help him?
- I'm grating a radish.
- No wonder they're Yeonhui-dong brothers.
- That's right.
- How many minutes have passed?
- 2 minutes.
- 2 minutes?
- We still have plenty of time. Relax.
He's handling meat.
- He seems very serious and focused.
- And it's been a while since he asked the time while cooking last time.
- You're right.
- I guess he wants to win so bad.
- We can have a historic moment today.
- That's right. If he wins today, he'll be on the top alone
- defeating all the professional chefs here.
- It's very interesting that he's grinding
green onion and meat together with a mixer.
- He can make meat broth faster that way.
- I see he's making meat broth faster by grinding them.
- That's right.
- I see.
He's making the soup for noodle.
- It's really amazing that...
- He almost dropped the cutting board.
- I guess he wants the fourth star so bad.
- But it's not easy to become a four-star chef.
He seems very serious.
- He's only going for the last star.
- He's even crossing the line.
What is he looking for?
- Ho-young seems very calm and relaxed.
No wonder it's his specialty.
- He's the king of udon.
- What's that?
- Ho-young even brought his rolling pin.
- This was in my car.
- They both are working on the dough now.
Poong, let's go.
He's working on the dough.
- Why is he bothering Won-il?
- He's already feeling sick.
- It's a disaster.
He's cutting the noodle.
Ho-young is cutting his noodle.
- He's really good at it.
- He's cutting it into thin strings.
- It's amazing.
- He's really amazing.
He's adding some vinegar to make it chewy.
Wow, he's actually making noodle in 7 minutes.
- Are you making pepper oil?
- Yes.
- Finally, it's his pepper oil.
Poong is making it into one long strand.
- It shouldn't be cut off, right?
- Ho-young just looked at it and smiled.
I guess it's funny to him.
- It looks like a rice stick...
- It's extremely hard to make it thin.
It must be difficult for him.
It can be disconnected if it gets too thin.
- You don't want that to be too thin.
- It's going to have different textures.
- Right.
- It's uneven.
- I remember I did that with my eraser when I was a first grader.
- You're right.
- It looks like he's in trouble.
When are you going to be done with it?
- 5 minutes left.
- For noodle, the texture's very important.
Don't you think it's time to taste the soup?
- It looks very uneven.
- The problem is he has to cook it now.
- This part is thin.
This part is too thin.
It can be disconnected.
He's filling it.
- Ho-young is making his noodle cold.
- That's a key step.
- Could you feel the texture of his noodle?
- Wait a second.
- Wow!
- Go ahead and taste it.
3 minutes and 30 seconds left.
How's the texture?
- It must be awesome.
- Is it chewy?
- Yes, it's really chewy.
- Chewy.
It's cold.
I love it.
- I love that.
- I wonder how Poong's noodle will turn out.
- He's still doing it.
- He's still working on the noodle.
Great, he just cut it.
- No more.
- He's saying he can do no more.
- I can't.
- He's saying he can't make it any longer.
He's talking to himself.
'No more'.
'That's enough'.
It's too little.
Is this noodle?
- I think he'll need a small bowl.
- It's so little that only Se-ho can try it.
It's too little.
It looks like a shoelace.
- Exactly.
- It's just like a shoelace.
- Is it a shoelace?
- It looks like a shoelace.
I guess someone brought his sneakers.
- That style used to be popular.
It was very popular back then.
- That's a shoelace.
- That fried one looks delicious.
Are you almost done?
- Yes.
- He's finishing it up.
- It's also important who finishes first.
- Don't just make it long at once.
- He just dropped it.
- My goodness.
- He's dragging it around.
- Everyone, we are watching a shoelace fly.
He dropped it again.
- He can't place it.
He can't.
- Oh my.
- Let me help you with that.
- Just get in there.
- I'll help you.
- Is it going in?
He finally did it.
- It's very funny after all.
- Right.
- He made us laugh.
- Isn't the soup too much?
- It's so much that we can't see the noodle.
- Really? - Yes, we can't see it.
- Around 20 seconds left.
- That's...
- Ho-young just finished it.
- He's putting the pepper oil right into his dish without filtering.
That can't be pepper oil.
That can't be.
- 8, 7, 6, 5, 4...
- It's done.
Poong finished it as well.
- Wow, it's an art.
- Se-ho looks quite worried.
- I'm a bit confused.
- Really?
- I said I wanted to get knocked down by flour, but I couldn't see much of it.
- Since it's noodle, we should eat it quickly.
Ho-young finished it first.
- Can I solve a difficult problem first?
- No, you can't.
You should eat the dish that's done first.
- Okay.
- Udon TT.
Good, he's squeezing a lemon.
- Did you make that?
- Excuse me?
- Did you make that?
- The seasoned soy sauce?
- Yes, that sauce.
- Yes, I made it.
- This noodle looks nice.
- It looks delicious.
- It really does.
- Let me try this first.
- It's cold noodle, right?
He's trying fried vegetables first.
- He's enjoying it.
- Let's see if he loves it.
- Is it good?
Is it that good?
- Wow.
- Really?
- Se-ho usually makes that angry look when eating something delicious.
- I can tell he looks angry.
- It's so good that he's got angry now.
- Look at his angry face.
- It's full of vegetables. I love it.
I also like its thickness.
It's filled with flour and vegetables.
Wow!
I wondered why some of the vegetables were so soft.
There are scallops inside this.
- Did you put scallops inside it?
- Yes, I did...
- It's nice.
- Nice.
- It somehow makes me feel happy.
- He's going for udon.
- He's really enjoying it.
He's so manly.
- You have to make this sound when eating udon.
Like this.
- My mouth is watering.
- It's very classy.
- How is the texture?
- To be honest,
- Did it get soggy?
- I think I can eat 10 bowls of this.
- Really?
- Noodles are normally chewy and thick and
make me full, but this one is a bit thin.
It's pretty much like soba.
So you can eat this a lot.
- How would you describe the soup?
- Did you use seasoned soy sauce?
- I had to make one.
I mixed soy sauce with sugar and cooking wine.
- He's finishing it.
- Wait, isn't this normal?
- It doesn't matter, but you have to try the next dish.
- I think the next dish's been forgotten.
- Nice.
- It looks like a hidden dragon.
The dragon is hiding.
- It's too little.
- Don't get me wrong.
It feels like I'm looking at the leftover spicy seafood noodle soup.
Don't get me wrong.
It looks a bit like that.
It's pretty much like the leftover
spicy seafood noodle soup
with a little bit of noodle and soup.
It must've been left by a busy neighbor.
I'll try it then.
- Yes, taste the soup first.
He did a lot of work on the soup.
- Wait.
- Huh?
- Is it good?
He keeps eating the soup.
- It's so refreshing.
- Really?
- It's unexpected.
- He must've done a hard work on the soup for some reason.
- He's going for the noodle now.
- He's trying the noodle.
- Right.
It means to wish for his long life.
- You shouldn't cut it.
- That's right. He's eating it right.
It's a bit bumpy though.
His life's getting longer...
He's eating it without cutting.
It keeps going up.
- It's bumpy.
- It looks like he's sucking up a rope.
He's eating a rope.
He's sucking up a rope.
- Can he finish it?
Oh my!
- Can he finish it?
Oh my!
- He couldn't stand it.
- It's much longer than I expected.
- Have some soup.
He still has a long way to go.
He didn't even finish the half of it.
- Is it cooked?
- He looks very serious.
- It keeps hitting me with flour.
I'm almost knocked down by flour.
- Right.
- We should remember the key point is flour.
He's doing it again.
It's going up again.
- He's really being knocked down by flour.
- Oh my...
- He said it's a challenge for him, right?
It's a challenge for me as well.
- He looks busy.
Wow, he's finishing it.
- He should have the soup at the end.
- He's enjoying the hot soup.
- The soup must be very delicious.
- Right.
- I need some rice.
I'm sure this will go well with rice...
- Is it that good?
- The soup is very classy and rich...
Excuse me, I ate too much noodle at once.
- He's burping.
- It'd be funny if it comes out like this.
- But the noodle was very chewy.
You know hand-pulled dough soup, right?
It feels like I'm eating it endlessly.
I thought I was being threatened by someone.
- You felt smothered...
- I was like 'Wait,
did someone do this on purpose?'.
Ho-young's soup tasted very familiar.
- I see.
- But this soup was new and surprising.
- I see.
- It's hard to predict the result.
It's time for us to taste those dishes.
- Okay!
- Let's try Ho-young's dish first.
Udon TT.
- Udon TT.
- Wow.
It's thin unlike plain udon.
It's a bit like chopped noodle soup.
- How did he put scallops here?
- The soup...
- It's really delicious.
My goodness.
- It's excellent.
- I've wanted to have some noodle.
- Sugoi.
- Does it make you speak Japanese?
- I thought I would become a Japanese.
- It's excellent.
- Honto Ni suteki desu Ne.
- What does that mean?
- It's really excellent.
Excellent.
Really excellent.
- This dish has an interesting taste.
It's amazing that he made this dish in such a short time.
- I think Ho-young showed
his specialty well today.
Both noodle and fried food were perfect.
- Let's try Poong's dish this time.
It's Long Poong Noodle.
- He did a good job.
- Let's taste the soup.
- I love the soup.
- Wow.
- The soup is great, isn't it?
- No wonder he kept eating the soup.
The pepper oil was an excellent move.
- It's amazing.
- I love its flavor...
- He should keep doing his ramen commercial.
You all know Rice and Soup, right?
It's a bit like Rice and Soup.
- Right, it's like premium Rice and Soup.
- He did an excellent job making this
rich soup quickly by grinding the meat...
The soup is very rich.
I think it's better than Hot and Sour Soup.
I love the rich taste of his soup.
- As for the overall taste, it's somewhat
similar to the noodle I had in Shanghai.
- It was a local restaurant there.
- I remember I experienced this kind of taste in Shanghai.
- It's the noodle cut by a knife, right?
It has that texture as well.
Its dough is cut by a knife like this.
- He knows a lot.
- Right.
I think he's right.
- Really?
You must be professional.
- I really love that noodle.
- You mean the noodle cut by a knife, right?
- Yes.
- It's time to make a choice.
The first dish is Jung Ho-young's.
The second one is Kim Poong's.
- The taste was unexpected.
- Did that person win?
- Yes, he did.
Really?
It was so pleasantly surprising.
- Really?
- It's so surprising that
I can't get it out of my head.
- Ho-young looks nervous.
Make a choice between the first one and the second one.
Please make up your mind and press a button.
Did you press it?
- Yes, I did.
- It's the flour match.
Se-ho just made his choice.
The noodle battle.
Poong or Ho-young?
Let's check out the result.
Is Poong going to be the four-star chef?
The winner is?
Jung Ho-young.
Ho-young won.
No wonder he's the king of udon.
- To be honest, Poong's soup was better.
But I said I wanted to
get knocked down by flour.
- Right, it's the noodle battle.
- So I couldn't make a selection
based on the soup.
- Exactly.
- I got knocked down by Ho-young's noodle.
I said the fried vegetables were very thick, right?
I really loved that as well.
It was filled with flour and vegetables.
That was perfect for me.
- That's right.
- It's a relief that I won by making udon.
Shy Shy Shy~
- It's great you don't have to do 'That's too mean~'.
Ho-young just won his second star.
Congratulations.
Two wins.
It's time to begin the second match.
- I can't wait to see how it goes.
- It's three-star chef Lee Yeon-bok
versus Lee Won-il.
You must be nervous since it's your first match this year.
- Yes, I'm very nervous as when I made the first appearance on this show.
- His voice sounds very sad.
- I just gave him a bonus point for his voice.
- Why?
- He seems desperate. I think he can show that in his dish.
- Right, we all support the weak.
- I'm so old that I have aches and pains all over.
- Do you have a fever?
- Yes, I do.
- I just gave him a bonus point as well.
- Right, he's the oldest here.
- What I'm making for him today is Tenderloin Punch Three Combos.
- It's similar to Filet Mignon.
- I'm going to add some cream sauce
and place grilled eggplant on the steak.
I'll go for meat after meat after meat.
- Wow.
- Right.
- I really like that idea.
- He loves it.
- Meat after meat after meat.
- What I'm making today is
Why Not Here For Meat Dumplings.
- He's famous for being absent.
He's a professional absentee.
- It's quite old, but I can bring
that memory here.
I love dumplings very much.
- Are you going to make dumplings?
- Today, the dumpling skin is going to be meat, not flour.
The stuffing is going to be meat as well.
It's going to be meat after meat.
The dumpling skin is going to be pork neck.
The stuffing will be made with pork belly and top blade.
I'm going to make the stuffing very tasty.
- It seems that they both are going to
make surprising meat dishes.
It's time to begin
their meat dish battle.
Lee Yeon-bok is determined to show a real meat dish today.
Lee Won-il makes his first appearance of this year but aims to win a star.
It's Lee Yeon-bok versus Lee Won-il.
Let's begin the meat dish battle.
- I can't wait to see them.
- It's going to be a fierce competition.
- Wow, the meat dumplings...
Look how he's cutting the meat.
- We see meat first as expected.
- It's top blade.
- Here comes pork belly.
- It's pork belly.
- He's mincing it.
It looks like he's making the stuffing.
- He's also adding some butter.
- I see.
What is butter for?
- This makes the meat soft.
- Really?
- It makes it a bit creamy and savory.
- What you're mincing now will be the stuffing, right?
- It's refined rice wine.
- He's making the stuffing.
The tenderloin is for steak, right?
- It's premium beef.
- He's going to grill it.
He's been eating steak a lot.
- You're right.
- It's not new to him.
- I like what he's doing now.
He's wrapping bacon around the beef tenderloin steak.
- Bacon.
- It's not just one piece.
He's wrapping it with two pieces of bacon.
- He's also winding kitchen twine around it.
- He's deep-frying it, right?
- You're right.
- He also added some truffle oil.
- How hot is the oil?
- The oil temperature is about 70 to 80℃.
-70~80℃.
- We usually deep-fry meat at 180℃.
The cooking method is called Confit, and it can create a different texture.
It makes the meat very soft.
- Oh, I see.
- I love the cutting board sound.
- It's onion.
- Wow, it's amazing.
- He's making the stuffing.
He just took the meat out.
- It's a meat pounder.
- That's pork neck, right?
- That's pork neck.
- It's pork neck.
That's going to be dumpling skin.
- Wow.
- He's pounding it.
Let's see how he's making it thin.
- Wow, it's amazing.
- I can't imagine how it will feel as dumpling skin.
He's finally making dumplings. - Finally.
- He's wrapping it.
- Wow, it's unbelievable.
- It's all meat.
- It's meat after meat.
- There you go.
- It looks very delicious.
- He just dredged the meat in flour.
Won-il just picked the meat up
and put it on the frying pan.
- Look at the color.
It seems that he knows exactly what I want.
- That's right.
That's exactly what I want.
I told you I wanted to get knocked down by meat.
They both are doing an excellent job.
- Garlic and onion.
Won-il is putting whipping cream in it.
Whipping cream.
- It's foie gras.
Foie gras.
- There it is.
I really wanted to use it.
- He's using foie gras.
- That's it.
- Isn't it too much though?
- He's even adding some butter.
- He's using butter.
- I think the battle is over.
He's cheating.
- It's hard to make it taste bad with those ingredients.
- He even loves greasy foods.
- I think he will really love it.
- It's hard to make it taste bad, right?
- Yes, it's difficult to make it taste bad.
It can't go wrong.
- It's pretty much like a song composed
and featured by G-Dragon goes wrong, right?
- You're absolutely right.
- Wow.
- It's pepper oil.
- We saw how Poong made his pepper oil in the previous match.
But his method of making pepper oil seems
- very different from Poong's.
- That's standard, right?
- It's standard.
- 5 minutes left.
- 4 minutes and 43 seconds left.
- 5 minutes left. I should go there now.
- Okay.
- I see.
Is this going to be your sauce?
It's your sauce, right?
- Yes, it's a sauce.
- Okay, I see.
- It's button mushroom. Se-ho loves it.
- How are you going to use this?
- I'm going to pour this onto dumplings at the end.
- Oh, I see.
I see.
It must be like a sauce.
- I guess no soy sauce for dipping is necessary then.
- It's his specialty. No need to discuss it.
- Wow, it looks good. Excellent.
- Now, he's handling eggplant.
Are you going to deep-fry it as well?
- Yes.
- I guess he's making it crispy.
- It absorbs oil, doesn't it?
- Wow, it's amazing.
- Looks like he's deep-frying bananas.
- Eggplant.
- Eggplant?
- I'm grilling the deep-fried eggplant.
- Why are you doing it?
- I'm making it taste a bit like meat.
It can get more savory that way.
- I see you're making it savory.
- One minute left.
- It's finally coming.
- Wow!
- It's coming.
His dumplings are almost done.
Look at the dumpling skin.
- Wow, it's an art.
- It's well-cooked.
- It seems It's going to be the dumpling
dish that can be cut and eaten like steak.
- He just covered the pan with a lid.
Is it here?
- He added some water and covered it
to make the bottom crispy and the top soft.
- Wow, that's amazing.
He's making it thick
by adding some flour.
- 18 seconds left.
- He's working on the presentation.
Lee Won-il.
It's done.
He finished it first.
He's busy.
Yeon-bok is in a hurry.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
He has to pour it on the plate.
He should.
It's done.
He looked confused at the end.
I'm really curious about the result.
He's trying Won-il's dish first.
- Wow, I really want to try that.
- Do you like it?
- I think he got completely knocked down.
I was right.
- You got knocked down, right?
- I think he's seriously damaged.
- Are you knocked down?
- I almost passed out.
- He almost fainted.
- Completely.
- I think this cream sauce will go well with the steak.
- He got knocked down by the sauce first.
- Look how it's cooked.
- Is it cooked well?
- He knows exactly what I want.
- It's medium-rare.
- He's dipping it in the sauce.
- A lot.
- You don't care about calories, right?
- I don't care.
- He doesn't care about calories today.
- My goodness.
- Look at the sauce.
Did you get knocked down again?
Again?
- I think this one is serious.
- It's his second time to be knocked down.
- He must've been kicked.
- He's going for another bite.
- He usually doesn't get knocked down like that.
He's eating it with a garnish this time.
He ate it with grilled eggplant.
Did you get knocked down again?
He's open-mouthed.
He's going down again.
- I love the flavor and taste.
I want to keep them as a diffuser in my bedroom.
- Diffuser?
- In the bedroom.
- I get excited when I have really delicious food.
I'm feeling it now.
The meat is soft, and the bacon is crispy.
I think they go well together.
They are not that close yet, but
the sauce connects them.
- It must be a matchmaker.
- These three combos
- knocked me out.
He really got knocked down by meat.
It's time for him to taste Yeon-bok's dish.
Let's see if he likes it.
Did he get hit?
He's going down again.
- He got knocked down by vegetables.
- It's his specialty.
He got knocked down.
He's being rough.
- It looks amazing.
- It's unbelievable.
- Is it cooked well?
- It seems he's excited a bit.
He looks excited.
Dumplings!
- It must be hot.
- He's too excited.
He looks extremely excited.
- Wow!
- We want to hear the voice of Wheesung.
One more time.
- Wow!
- Is it delicious or hot?
- This isn't meat.
- Really? - What is it then?
- Nobody would think the outer part's pork neck.
- Really?
- It's unbelievable.
- Is it soft?
- I thought it's going to be dry and hard.
- It also looks rough, right?
- But it's very tender and juicy.
My mouth gets filled with juices like this.
- I guess that's why you shouted.
He's going for another bite.
He gets knocked down every time, but he keeps going for it.
- I think viewers must be going crazy.
- Is it crispy outside?
- It can get soggy, right?
But this one is very chewy.
- Is it chewy?
- You can feel crispiness, chewiness, savoriness, and juiciness at the same time.
This makes me feel very happy.
- It's time for us to try them.
Let's try Tenderloin Punch Three Combos first.
- Three Combos.
- It's a sauce.
- You should dip it in the sauce.
- Wow, this sauce is amazing.
- I highly recommend you to try that sauce.
- Wow, I think ladies will love this dish.
I think I can get
any woman
by surprising her with this dish.
I'm sure this will work.
- I can tell he's really good at cooking.
- He's so talented.
- Forget about the balance. The meat itself is perfect.
He cooked it very well.
- Hyun-soo, can a Korean cuisine chef cook meat this well?
- Of course, Korean cuisine chefs can do everything well.
- I see.
- Right, it's basic.
Okay.
Let's try Yeon-bok's dish this time.
It's a meat dumpling dish.
- I should kick it all in at once.
- Wow, I love this sauce.
- The sauce is excellent.
- I think I'm in trouble.
- Why?
- I started to hate home-made meals because of these excellent dishes.
- I didn't expect that the meat and
the vegetables would go well together.
I'm not a big fan of vegetables.
But this dish must go with vegetables.
It's a perfect match.
- I also think his combination of pork and beef is perfect.
He even deep-fried and steamed it to
make it crispy and soft at the same time.
The sauce is also amazing.
It's like watching the actions of
Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li
in one movie.
- In the same movie?
Do you think he's going to be the four-star chef first?
- He can take the spot first.
- I guess his dish was that good today.
His dish was that good.
- Poong's letting him take the first place.
- Now, it's time to make a choice.
- It's a difficult choice to make.
- It's a close match.
The first dish is Lee Won-il's.
The second dish is Lee Yeon-bok's.
Press a button.
- I did.
- Se-ho just made his choice.
Lee Yeon-bok aims to win his fourth star.
Lee Won-il wants to win for the first time this season.
Who did he choose?
It's time to check out the result.
Show us the result.
The winner is?.
Let's see the result.
Show us the result.
The winner is?
- Wow!
- Lee Won-il.
Wow, he defeated Lee Yeon-bok.
It's unbelievable.
It's his first win.
- It's his first win in 2017.
- And it's also his first appearance in 2017.
- Yeon-bok's dish tasted a bit healthier.
But I wanted something strong today.
I wanted to go as far as I could. The steak
with this creamy sauce and bacon impressed
me a lot with its strong and rich taste.
- I see.
Wow.
It's extremely difficult to become a four-star chef.
- There must be some kind of barrier.
- Poong missed his chance twice in a row.
It's a real shock.
- Hyun-seok looks very happy.
- It's because he has a chance next week.
- He looks very confident.
- He must be happy about their losses.
- Finally.
- Congratulations.
It's his first win in 2017.
Congratulations on your first win.
- He's a rising star from a rich family.
- He said I brought luck.
I heard things went well after I was born.
- I see.
- I wanted to have a son just like me.
But after I started talking about my family on TV shows,
our family's fortune has been going downhill.
He said I had a loose tongue. I felt very sorry.
- Let's check out his fridge.
- I don't eat them at all.
I must have meat.
I don't like Korean foods.
My taste is extremely childish.
- It's going to be difficult to fit his taste.
- What about that?
- I can't eat broccoli.
He looks uncomfortable.
- No, I hate that.
- Can he really stand it?
Is he going for a mature taste?
- Wow!
He can eat it.
He can eat it now.
