The project to make better use of the ingredients in your fridge.
Best chefs from all over Korea are here to take care of your fridge.
Premium cooking talk show, Take Good Care of the Fridge!
Nice to see you guys.
These middle aged men have great charms.
Let me introduce to you the seven chefs!
(Charming group of 7 chefs)
For the first time since last August, Chef Choi is absent from our show.
- Why? - He was chosen as a representative to attend a food event in the States.
That's right. Someone else has to fill in for his place today.
I bet someone who's as famous as Hyun-seok will come.
Then someone like Gordon Ramsay?
- Gordon Ramsay? Chef Choi is that famous? - Or Jamie Oliver?
- A foreign chef. - Yes.
Someone like Baek Jong-won?
Someone like Baek Jong-won.
- I think a lady will come out. - Me too.
What if it's Han Bok-ryu?
Big Mama.
Oh, Big Mama!
Big Mama!
Lee Hye-Jung.
Oh, really though. It might be.
Big Mama.
This is someone we tried to cast early in the season.
- He was very busy. - He's busy.
But they brought someone too powerful.
- This is a big problem. - Seriously.
Today's special chef!
The Best Cook in Our Neighborhood!
(I think I've heard that before) - Here he is. Please come on out!
This is our today's special chef!
- The Best Cook in Our Neighborhood! - Oh my! Who is that?
(The chefs are in shock after seeing the special chef)
(Today's special chef finally comes out)
(Ta-da!)
- He put in a lot of effort. - Hold on.
I started cooking when I was 9 years old.
I'll show you the skills I gained for the past 30 years.
Hold on, his clothes look like Hyun-seok's.
It's not Raymond either.
(Looks serious)
- Maybe it's Edward Kwon. - Is it Edward?
Edward!
Let me give you a hint. He's one of the legendary guys who shook up the industry.
And he's hosted a program with his name in the title.
- I knew it. - I'm right.
- Edward Kwon. - He can cook Korean, Western, Japanese, and even Thai food.
And even 'illegal' foods.
If you ask for 'illegal' foods, he'll make them. He has knowledge on various dishes.
He's enough to threaten all of the chefs.
He has a lot of knowledge about cooking.
You guys have grown quiet.
(Something is off...)
- He shouldn't do... - That's weird.
His performance!
- Edward doesn't do stuff like that. - Not a lot of people are recognizing him.
- It looks like it's Chef Choi. - I think it's Choi Hyun-seok!
Excuse me, Chef Choi!
Is he really the one you think he is?
The Best Cook in Our Neighborhood,
please take off your mask and show us your face!
This is today's special chef!
(Who is the Best Chef in Our Neighborhood?)
Today's special chef, the Best Chef in Our Neighborhood, is...
(Screaming from shock)
Ugh, what is this!
(Today's special chef is?)
(A guy who cooks, Lee Sang-min!) - It's Lee Sang-min!
(Huge plot twist)
No way!
I didn't expect him at all!
I can't believe this for real.
He waited in the parking lot every week.
(When he was on the show, he said he wanted to join as an amateur chef)
I'm always waiting in the parking lot.
If they call me, I'll come up. If not, I'll go home.
He bought that parking spot.
- A monthly rent. - Yes.
How do you feel sitting in Chef Choi's seat?
- I got rid of all the bluff I had, - Right.
but sitting here is making me want to bluff again. This is bad.
You were all about bluff before.
Anyway, we'll have a cook off with Sang-min today.
- I'm excited for it. - Do the same rules apply to him?
- Of course. - The same.
- Can't you give me about 2 more minutes? - It will be fun.
You just get 15 minutes.
I'll help you.
I'm looking forward to it very much.
We have to introduce the guests today.
But he went back to his waiting room because we talked about Sang-min too much.
(Ha ha)
He hates waiting.
Two, old and new, handsome men who are more beautiful than flowers will be joining us.
- Old and new? - Who are the owners of the fridge?
(Today's guest's fridge)
(Moved to the studio just as it is)
(And another fridge)
(Also moved to the studio just as it is)
(We introduce to you the owners of these fridges now!)
- What if they come out in masks? - They won't.
(Laughing) (Wow!)
(A big welcome)
Today's guests are...
(Heating up the studio with their appearance alone)
It's Tak Jae-hoon and B1A4's Baro!
A pretty boy with a bright future ahead of him!
It's the bad boy rapper of B1A4, Baro!
Hello! I'm Baro from B1A4.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
If Baro is a pretty boy with a bright future,
then this guy is a pretty middle aged man who wants to have a bright future.
He came back stronger than ever!
It's entertainment show's original bad boy, Tak Jae-hoon!
(Very Polite)
I heard you got here on time today for the shoot.
Yes, coincidentally...
Coincidentally...
- It was a coincidence that you were on time? - I got lucky and made it right on time.
This will never happen again.
Why is Sang-min here?
(Ugh)
When the door opened, I saw someone laughing at me, and it was Sang-min.
He's here as today's special chef. Are you not happy with it?
He goes everywhere that he's called to these days.
- You're here today with Baro. - Right.
How do you guys know each other?
- I've seen Baro about two times. - Yes.
We don't cross paths that much.
- There's a big age gap too. - I see.
Baro, you knew who Tak Jae-hoon is right?
He was famous when I was little too.
- I saw him on Sang Sang Plus. - Sang Sang Plus?
I was a fan back then.
- And I liked to sing S. Papa's song in middle school. - S. Papa.
All my friends sang S. Papa's song.
The juniors in the industry remember you.
- You look teary eyed. - Yes.
Shall we take a break.
(Ha ha ha)
There was a reason we cast them together.
According to Oxford University's international research...
- It's located in Oxudong. - I see.
Baro and Tak Jae-hoon share a lot of commonalities.
There are about 15,000.
- Does that mean Baro might turn out like me later? - Sure...
(Smiling at his kind words)
First one!
- Jae-hoon, what's your Chinese Zodiac? - Me? It's monkey.
Baro, what about you?
Monkey.
(They're both monkeys!)
What's more surprising is that this year is the year of the monkeys.
(Not very surprised)
We're going to record you guys getting shocked and edit them later.
Can you exaggerate a little?
Sam Kim, let us use a cut of you getting surprised.
- It's the year of the monkeys! - Wow, really?
(There's no emotion in his acting whatsoever)
Robot acting.
That was nice.
And the second commonality.
Baro, what's your blood type?
- Type B. - Type B.
- Jae-hoon, what's your blood type? - Type B.
(So what...?)
Chef Jung, we'll get a cut of you looking surprised too.
Both of them are type B!
Oh! Really?
(Same acting skills as Chef Sam Kim)
You're the only type B in your group?
That's right.
Is there a personality difference between type B and A?
Well we've been living together for a long time now so our personalities are similar.
But in the beginning we wrote down things we need to work on and talked about them.
Every time we did that, all the fingers pointed at me.
They were serious when they wrote down the list, so I thought I was the weird one.
I even cried because I was sad.
Jae-hoon, when you were in Country Kko Kko,
did you get along with your other member?
There's only one other member.
Did you guys have the same blood type?
No, that guy...
- Type O. - He was type O.
Oh, type O.
Oh, he knows too.
He worked with him too.
(That's right)
- He was a member in my group, but he was also in his group. - Right.
He was in his group first.
I like people with type O.
- But he was a little different. - That's right.
You didn't know, huh? He's very good at cooking.
- He must have skilled hands. - Yes, his skills...
Yeah, he's skilled.
Cooking is a skill.
(Clenching their jaws to not laugh)
But if he was really skilled, he would've won something.
- He's talking about getting a license. - Yes, a license.
- They are all licensed. - Of course.
Did anyone lose their license?
(Anyone lose their cooking license for stealing ingredients?)
Anyone lose their license?
They all have it.
Of course they have it.
All right.
As I said before, the two share the same Chinese zodiac and blood type.
Jae-hoon, what kind of food do you usually enjoy?
I like Korean food, like rice crust.
- Rice crust. - You like Korean food.
I like hot Korean food like rice crust.
And bean paste stew.
But you're young.
Yes, I only ate Korean food since I was little.
You guys like the same type of food.
Then we have 8 chefs here today.
Is there a chef you want to have cook for you?
I personally want to eat food made by non-licensed chefs.
Especially Hong Seok-cheon.
- He seems to know what young people like. - Not overbearing.
- Then we'll take a look at your fridges now. - This is cool.
First, we'll take a look into the guy who loves rice crust and bean paste stew,
B1A4's Baro's fridge!
(We'll take a look right now!)
Baro, are you living with your members right now?
No, we live in separate houses. I brought my mom and my sister to Seoul.
Then how long did you dorm with them?
I dormed with them for about 8 years.
Wow.
- 8 years? - Yes.
Then it might actually be awkward living with your mother.
- It's awkward but there are a lot of good sides to it. - Right.
All right. Here is Baro's fridge!
(Wow)
- Here is Baro's fridge! (Neatly organized and fully stocked fridge)
Shall we look at the freezer too? Here it is!
(The freezer looks like one at a restaurant) - It has everything.
My mom is good at organizing and likes to cook.
So she buys a lot of ingredients.
The chefs look very happy.
At the front here... This looks handmade.
It's yogurt!
- Did you buy it? - No, my mom made it herself.
- She makes yogurt too? - Yes.
It must be a hassle to make this at home.
And look at his mother's organization.
Hemp seed.
Chia seed.
Bean powder.
- Your mother must be pretty young. - She's 55 years old.
55 years old.
How old is she if she was born in 1966?
- Then she's not 55 years old. - She's not.
- She's 2 years older than me. - She just turned 50.
- 51 years old. - I'm sorry mom.
- She's 51 years old. - She's 2 years older than Jae-hoon.
I dated someone who was born in 1966 when I was twenty.
(Remembered his past love after hearing 1966)
I spoke informally to her because she told me to.
So Jae-hoon has dated an older woman before.
Like you haven't.
(Whatever)
(Flustered) - Have you seen me date someone?
How can I when you date in secret?
(So funny!)
(MC Ahn has met his match today)
(The devil is loosening up now)
We have some side dishes. Every family has this.
- Stir-fried anchovies. - We have anchovies.
It's really good. My mom is a great cook.
This is braised tofu.
(That looks delicious)
I'm happy that I'm here because I felt bad about my sister and I only enjoying it.
- I wanted someone else to taste my mom's cooking. - I see.
Let's try the stir-fried anchovies.
- This is so cool. - Stir-fried anchovies.
Baro's mother made it.
- Stir-fried anchovies! - Enjoy.
It's really good.
- It's good. - It's similar to what I had when I was little.
Right? Jae-hoon said he wouldn't finish it if it's not good. But he finished it.
- You gave me such a small amount. - Do you want more?
How could you only give me 6 anchovies?
(Giving him about 100 this time)
(Shouldn't given me a lot from the start)
- Let's try the tofu too. - The tofu is good.
(Now it's time for braised braised tofu)
- The tofu is a little unique. - The tofu is...
- At our house, we don't cut the tofu this thick. - That's right. It's thin.
I like it filling up my mouth.
She did it for her son.
And we have a very pretty pot over here.
Oh, in here...
We have bean paste stew.
Baro said he likes bean paste stew.
I realized that I feel empty if I don't have that in the morning.
- I have to have it no matter what. - There's crab in here too.
She made it for her son.
I think she organized the ingredients.
Onions...
- Chili. - Oh, mushrooms.
Oh, these are ingredients for the bean paste stew.
- They all go in there. - Right?
His mother is amazing.
- These are mushrooms. - It's amazing that she stores them like that.
It's because I eat bean paste stew everyday.
- He eats it everyday. - Six days out of the week?
She already cut them up. You can make the stew right away.
- I think the scallions are for the stew too. - Yes, probably.
But the scallions...
These are for omelets.
And these are for the bean paste stew.
All I need is just seaweed, bean paste stew, and omelet.
If you have them ready like that,
- it cuts down the cooking time in half. - That's right.
Since he could be leaving early morning, she made sure that he could eat it right away.
Wow the fruits too. In case her son says he needs to leave right away...
So he could eat them right away.
(Watermelon)
She put the tofu in the water so it could be used right away.
She cut up the veggies too.
So she could use them right away.
How many times are you going to say that?
You keep saying that.
- They can be used right away. - This is too much.
The sauce.
Who came up with the name, Baro?
My members came up with it.
They did a good job.
I don't think I would ever forget it.
What's this?
- Glue? - Rice punch.
- I don't think it's rice punch. - It's broth for stews.
- She even made the broth in advance. - Yes.
You must have nagged her a lot.
- I didn't. - It looks like your mom was very stressed out.
- "I'm late! Hurry!" - He must have.
- I don't... - They don't usually have them prepared like that.
I've never nagged her. The food was always ready whenever I went to the kitchen.
I've never nagged her.
- This looks like soju. - It's soju.
- It's not for cooking. - No, it's not.
His mother must drink it before bed because she's so stressed,
- It's his mother's. - Yes, after cooking all of that.
- My mom doesn't drink. - Because he nags her?
I really don't nag her.
Because she gets stressed.
My mom doesn't drink.
I sometimes drink with my sister.
I usually drink at home.
- What's your limit? - About 3 bottles of soju?
He drinks a lot.
You drink this lightly at home. Your mom doesn't drink it because she's stressed.
Never.
There are a lot of fruits.
There are a lot of veggies too.
- There are a lot of ingredients. - Yes.
Let's move on to the freezer.
- The freezer isn't usually this neatly organized. - Yeah, there's a lot in here too.
These are top shells.
- Oh, top shells. - They're huge.
- This must be salmon. - Yes.
I eat the salmon with salad or eat it raw with soy sauce and wine.
Do you like seafood in general?
I like everything.
- There were crabs in the bean paste stew too. - That's right!
There's squid in here.
My mom cooks it with mayo when I'm having a beer at night
Stop making your mom work and eat out.
He's just having a party with wine and beer.
- You should let your mom rest. - She looks the happiest when she does these things.
That's what you think.
Look at this. His mother cut up the squid.
- You like squid, right? - I do.
See, she did it for her son.
Are you sure it wasn’t your mom who came up with 'Baro?'
(The hidden story behind the name, Baro)
- I need to eat right away and leave right away! - I have to leave right away!
Being Baro's mother is a hard job.
See! All the things he likes for the bean paste stew!
- Zucchini. - No, he's being a good son.
How is he being a good son?
His mother enjoys preparing for him.
- She's doing it for her son. - That's right. She likes doing it.
Sang-min is actively stepping in for Baro right now.
He's doing well on shows so he must be trying to create a good image.
- He's caring about his image? - I understand.
- I was like that too. - That's the very first stage.
- Jung-hwan, you like to drink too. - I do.
Do you drink fruity soju?
- I don't drink them. - Right.
People who drink a lot don't like things mixed in their drinks.
The bottle from earlier...
It's his mother's. Ladies like those kinds of drinks.
No, my mom doesn't drink. It's mine.
Don't you think you're restricting your mother too much?
- I... - Your mother could drink some.
We drink together.
- Earlier you said she doesn't drink at all. - No she does drink.
His story is changing.
She does drink some.
Oh we have chicken!
- A whole chicken! - It looks like Korean chicken.
- This one played soccer. - This one played soccer? Why?
- It has nice thighs. - It's thighs...
- Do you like chicken too? - I really like dishes with chicken in them.
Oh I see.
He also likes chicken. Do you like natto too? There are a lot of them.
My mom likes them.
- Oh, these are your mother's? - Yes.
These are small octopus.
There's one more. There's regular one and one on a stick.
This is...
It says pre-cooked shrimp.
They sell these?
They're pre-steamed.
So it takes less time to cook.
They're the perfect shrimp to have while you're reflecting on your actions.
(Coming from his personal experience)
Nice. We took a look at Baro's fridge.
Our staff asked your mother too.
They asked her if there was a reason why she prepares everything in advance.
She said she wants to do everything that she was unable to do for you
when you were dorming for 8 years.
That's why she always has them prepared.
- A mother's heart. - Now you understand, right?
We reveal to you Baro's ideal meal!
"This is LA swag!"
"Is this really chicken?"
I really like places that are sunny and have nice weather like LA.
So I want street food that I can casually enjoy.
- Street food? - Yes.
- Food truck? - Yes, like food trucks. You know when you go abroad and order something.
They go like this and toss it to you.
- That's right. - Like that.
"Is this really chicken?"
(Got the inspiration from B1A4's "What's Happening?") - That kind of feel.
I really like chicken.
I haven't had anything new with chicken in it.
- A new chicken dish? - Yes.
Try eating it raw.
(You won't be able to control your laughter...)
Like a beast.
(Don't be influenced by him!)
I'll announce the chefs who will have a cook-off using ingredients from Baro's fridge.
In seed 1,
Hong Seok-cheon with 19 wins.
In seed 2,
Mihal with 17 wins.
In seed 3, Oh Se-deuk with 9 wins.
In seed 4, Jung Ho-young with 6 wins.
Chef Jung is going to be on Baro's team.
I'll take an attempt at the LA swag that Baro wants.
I really wanted him to do that one.
- Oh really? - Yes.
- I was very curious. - You wanted Hong Seok-cheon?
Hong Seok-cheon has picked.
I want to battle it out with Tony.
- Since I've made a lot of dishes with chicken. - Right.
LA swag, similar to street food.
Chef Oh Se-deuk and Chef Jung Ho-young will make a dish with chicken.
"Is this really chicken?"
We'll start off with "This is LA swag!" match.
The two chefs have changed their outfits and getting ready for the cook off.
- Yes? - We're not a couple.
(Ha ha ha)
By the way, Baro, you know the LA feel very well.
- Did you live there for a long time? - No, 4 to 5 times?
- You vacationed there 4 to 5 times? - Yes.
- And for work too. - For work too.
Is there something you cannot leave out for LA swag?
There's not a lot of these motions that Chef Choi Hyun-suk does.
It's just like when you order...
(Bam, bam) (Swift movements)
Like this.
It's just simple and fast.
(Picking ingredients for ""This is LA swag!")
(Mihal chooses eggs and lettuce)
(Showing off his manliness)
- You can speak Korean though. - I don't eat them.
- He's in character. - Because it's about LA swag.
(Chef Mihal's ingredients: tomato, yogurt, onions, salmon, scallions, lettuce)
(Chef Hong's ingredients: pasta noodles, crab meat, rice paper, onions, shrimp,)
(top shell, lettuce, octopus, perilla leaf, paprika, tar tar sauce, peanut butter,)
spicy oyster sauce, nuts)
The title of my today's dish is, "Baro Bread Right Away."
- "Baro Bread Right Away?" - Yes.
Oh, Baro Bread.
Is it a bread dish?
- Yes, it's a bread dish. - Where's the bread?
I'm going to use his mother's yogurt and make delicious bread.
I'm going to fold in the salmon and raw vegetables so he can eat it right away.
He's going to make bread right now?
It might be difficult to make bread in 15 minutes.
Mihal, did you understand what Baro was saying about the LA swag?
- Have you never been there? - On Discovery Channel, National Geographic, and...
- Only through videos. - Yes.
Mihal is making us anxious. I don't think he'll get what the LA swag means.
The dish I'm going to make today is called,
"Shake Shake Pasta."
Shake Shake Pasta.
- There's a famous burger place in the States called Shake Shack. - Right.
- Their burger is very delicious. - Really?
- I want to show you guys that pasta can be a street food too. - Really? That's amazing.
First, I'll use a variety of veggies to make spring rolls.
I'll mix peanut butter and oyster sauce to make seafood pasta.
After hearing about it... I like pasta more than bread.
- I see. - I don't eat bread that often.
- I see. - This is special bread.
It's special bread so it must be different. But I really like pasta.
- Right now, the vote seems to be leaning towards Hong Seok-cheon. - Shake Shake.
He's in the lead.
This is Itaewon derby that took 8 months to happen.
- Itaewon derby. - 4 wins and 1 loss.
Hong Seok-cheon is in the lead.
Mihal can't spread his wings whenever he meets Chef Hong.
Let's get started with the cook off!
They look so cool.
A free soul that loves the streets of Jongno.
Chef Mihal who is the best suited for street food versus
Chef Hong, who searches the world for a new taste.
Which chef will correctly get the LA vibe?
The match begins now!
(15 minute cook off begins now!)
(So cool) - LA feel!
(They start cooking with their sunglasses on)
- Yes, it's nerve-racking. - This is fun.
(1. Melt the butter in the microwave)
(Mihal is making the bread dough first)
(2. Mix flour, egg, yogurt, salt, and melted butter in a bowl)
He put the yogurt into the dough.
- Oh really? - It must be for the bread.
He put the yogurt in the bread dough?
Will the bread taste like yogurt?
It seems like he put it in for fermentation.
His mother's handmade yogurt.
- I don't really like the yogurt either. - I see.
All the stuff I don't like are in there.
His ingredients are ones that Baro doesn't...
It has everything like bread and yogurt in it.
He's making the dough.
He didn't use water at all for this dough.
- He only used yogurt. - Eggs.
Yes, eggs.
(Rolls out the dough right away)
You know the tortilla that Mexicans sell as street food in LA?
- He's making tortillas right now? - It looks like it.
(3. Roll out the dough into a thin sheet and cut it in a circle)
He must be since he's cutting it in a circle.
I didn't know you can make it like that!
- I like tortillas. - He said he likes tortillas!
It's not a thick bread.
Right. It's thin since it's used as a wrap.
It can have rice and veggie. It's a light meal.
There's a twist. Baro actually likes tortillas.
The Shake Shack that Seok-cheon was talking about is in New York, not LA.
- On the opposite side. - Shake Shack is in New York.
It is.
- They're opening one in LA, okay? - Really?
Shake Shack burger! It's on the east coast.
(Seok-cheon starts by cooking the pasta)
He just put in the pasta to cook it. (1. Cook pasta in boiling water with salt)
- Baro's pasta. - Yes.
(2. Pull apart crab meat into thin strings)
(Starts chopping the vegetables)
- Is he cutting up the onions? - The red onions.
- He's chopping the perilla leaf, right? - Yes.
He's putting in perilla leaf too.
(3. Slice the cabbage, red onions, perilla leaf, and paprika)
(Colorful LA style salad)
(4. Mix the crab meat, veggies, tar tar sauce, lemon juice and salt to make salad)
(Packaged crab meat from the freezer)
(5. Parboil the crab meat and put into the salad)
(Wet the rice paper with hot water)
(6. Wrap the salad with the wet rice paper) - Seok-cheon is using...
- You know the rice... - Rice paper?
Yes, he's wrapping the salad in rice paper.
- But isn't that more of a Southeast Asian street food? - You're right.
- Isn't more of a Thailand feel? - But in LA,
there are a lot of Vietnamese and Southeast Asians.
Chinese people too.
I want to eat something from LA that African Americans eat.
Their preference changed to Asian food.
I wasn't looking for their new preference. I wanted their original preference.
(Ha ha ha)
Seok-cheon is at a disadvantage as he proceeds with his dish.
(Chef Mihal gained confidence with his tortilla)
(5. Mix yogurt, mayonnaise, crushed garlic in a bowl to make yogurt sauce)
- Things like that! - Something like that!
(Seems like he's got it now... Explosion of LA swag!)
Oh! Look at him sucking on his finger!
(Welcome to LA)
- Something natural. - Yes.
- The image I want is... - Yes?
- is closer to what Mihal is doing. - I see.
(All eyes are on Mihal!)
(6. Cut the tomato in half and get rid of the stem) - That looks cool.
- That looks cool. - You like that?
- Cutting it in midair instead of cutting it on the board. - Cutting in midair!
That type of swag!
(Welcome! Is this your first time in LA?)
(LA tourists are ecstatic)
How many? Two?
(The Korean tourists all start to order)
(The owner seems to have lived in Korea)
(He really fits the image)
I can't sell because of him!
- That's what you wanted, right? - Yes.
That was what he wanted. Mihal knew all along.
The cops are coming!
(Illegal street vendor's grief is universal)
(Full of confidence)
Mihal is good at stuff like this.
Yes! Flipping it with bare hands!
Even though it's hot.
Putting some lettuce on the golden bread!
Put the sauce in, wrap it, and just pop it in your mouth.
It's okay to drip some sauce as you eat.
- You just wipe it off. - That kind of feel.
- He's putting too much effort into making that. - He doesn't like it neat.
- I'm not putting effort into it. - It's not the LA swag.
I'm doing it haphazardly. See?
- It requires too many steps. - No, it doesn't!
It just takes a while to get the ingredients ready.

(8. Put in chili and mix the sauce again)
(Continues on to the top shells)
(9. Cut the boiled top shell meat into smaller pieces) - What is he making?
- Chef Hong, what is that? - Top shells.

That's it!
He's calling you!
Baro, go order.
(Goes to order his toppings!)
(Baro burger made to order right away)
(Tosses in the smoked salmon)
(Explosion of LA swag) - That's what LA swag is all about!
It looks so cool.
(Puts in a lot of the chopped vegetables)
He understood the theme perfectly.
(12. Put the yogurt sauce, smoked salmon, and veggies)
(in this order on the tortilla and fold it in half)
4 minutes and 30 seconds left!
MC Ahn, please head out there.
He's cutting the paper with his knife!
He looks so tough!
This is it!
(13. Finish it off by wrapping it in a paper foil)
(Pay up) - Money!
(Here's my heart) - He want's money!
(Sir, you can't do that!)
(Transaction completed with a love shot)
(The Korean tourists enjoying the show)
Is he done?
He needs to ring the bell.
Mihal is done!
(Finishes Baro Bread with time left to spare)
He has almost 4 minutes left over.
(Mihal took about 10 minutes to make Baro Bread)
- There's nothing to eat on this side! - What is Chef Hong making?
(11. Take out the cooked pasta and drain it)
(Crushes the garlic with his hand)

I think he's going to put out pasta.
(Shake Shake Pasta's owner is using take out box too)
- He's going to give it to me in that? - How is he going to package it?
He's putting it into the takeout box.
You have to make it messy.
11 seconds left!
It has the LA feel!
He said it has LA feel. Eight! Seven!
- Six! Five! Four! - Move!
- Three! - Why?
Two! One!
(18. Finish it off by putting spring rolls on top)
(Chuckle.)
-That's okay since it's street food. -The match is over.
(Hong Seok-cheon's Shake Shake Pasta is finished!)
(LA's flavor enveloped in yogurt tortilla.)
(Chef Mihal's Baro Bread Right Away.)
Wow, look at the size of this.
Baro's trying it.
(He takes a big bite.)
There's lox inside.
-That's how you eat that. -Absolutely.
You don't need to worry about sauce dripping.
Let it drip. Let it get messy. Who cares.
Tear apart that wrapper.
He should wipe his mouth with the wrapping paper.
That's right. That's how real man should eat.
Real man doesn't need napkins.
He's eating a lot.
It's that good?
(He's showing his respect with his eyes and gesture.)
Because it looks like any other tortilla-based food I had before,
I didn't have high expectation.
I thought it would be whatever.
But because of the sour and sweet taste of yogurt he put in the batter,
it made a beautiful harmony with lox. Not greasy or fatty at all.
I think it'd make a great hit if you sell this in the street.
-It's amazingly delicious. -Is that right?
It's very clean. Just imagining having this with beer....
All right. Show us how you would eat this in LA.
Take down your pants a bit.
You need to wear your pants below the waist.
The LA vibe.
That's how you should eat?
(Is your leg hurting?)
(Walking like a drunkard even when sober.)
Oh, that's how you do it.
(Offering a half-eaten sandwich without a hesitation.)
(Takes a bite off someone else's half-eaten sandwich.)
You just look like a drunken bum.
(Enjoy exquisite seafood pasta and rice paper roll in the street.)
(Hong Seok-cheon's shake shake pasta.)
(He sounds like Southeast Asian.)
-I am an immigrant from Southeast Asia. -That could be true.
Hello. (Speaking Korean in Southeast Asian accent.)
You always see people like that.
Let's try his dish.
(Pasta with lots of seafood.)
You have to look at his face.
-He's eating a lot. -It will be finished in three bites.
It has lots of octopus.
(Promising reaction.)
Did you develop this dish?
-I just thought of it. -Just by using your intuition?
It's really-
People living in hot region tend to eat salty food.
But when you eat this, you don't feel that it's salty.
I don't really know what this is but-
but the flavors go very well together.
He said it tastes like food eaten often in hot regions.
LA is not that hot though.
LA is hot.
-Oh, is LA hot? -It is.
-It's not humid though. -That's like Vietnamese wrap.
-Is it like Vietnamese wrap? -It's Vietnamese wrap.
Is it just regular Vietnamese wrap?
A Thai cook has cooked for you in LA.
I am an immigrant.
-It's interesting. -Is it?
-It's interesting. -All right. That will do it.
Let's try these.
Now we will try Chef Mihal's Baro Bread Right Away.
-You don't need utensil to eat this. -Right. That's LA swag.
You can eat this, licking sauce off your finger.
(Jae-hoon hasn't touched it yet.)
Why aren't you eating, Jae-hoon?
-I ate before coming here. -Oh.
(He still has to eat if he were to give a review.)
You need to comment on it.
This isn't something I usually eat.
-You don't like this kind of food? -It's really delicious though.
lox tastes so good.
It's delicious.
People would line up to eat this.
It tastes like something that could be on a menu.
On a menu?
Something that would be sold in the street?
I think this will be perfect for busy people who are looking for a quick meal.
The combination of ingredients is original.
I think ladies will really love this.
Because you get to eat salad with bread.
It's very light.
I'd have loved it even more if it had pickles,
That's right.
I think he skipped it because Baro said he doesn't like sour food.
-That's why you asked him? -Yes.
(He asked Baro and decided to take it out.)
That's why you asked him?
We would have preferred it with pickles.
That's what happened. He should have take our taste into account.
Baro's the owner of the fridge, but he should have made to suit our taste, right?
Now, let's try Chef Hong's Shake Shake Pasta.
(Slurp.)
(How does Street Pasta taste?)
-Nice. -It's delicious.
It's good.
-It's really nice. -It makes you keep eating.
It's very addictive.
I think this one...
It tastes more like Chinese mixed noodles than pasta.
And after the mixed noodles, you eat that Vietnamese wrap.
It cleans your palate. It's lovely.
But the cost of this dish...
Wouldn't it cost too much to be street food?
It has all kinds of seafood.
-For how much would you sell? -It won't cost that much in Southeast Asia..
But LA is expensive. -Everything's a bit costly in LA.
I think you should charge, like $180.
(Street food that requires a trip to the bank.)
(It's not the street food you can have easily.)
Baro, it's time to choose.
Number 1 is Chef Mihal's.
Number 2 is Chef Hong's.
Have you made your choice?
-Yes, I did. -He did.
Which chef created the kind of dish that represents LA swag?
If Chef Hong wins, it will be his honorable 20th victory.
And if Chef Mihal wins, he will finally avenge all the past loses against Chef Hong.
Let's see who Baro chose. Let us see the result!
Baro! Baro!
Mihal wins!
(Chef Mihal's Baro Bread Right Away Wins.)
Mihal won!
(Chef Mihal finally wins against Chef Hong in eight months.)
I think his performance during cooking won him many brownie points.
It's something very easy to have and often.
I wanted something that I would have eaten daily in college.
I think he succeeded in creating a simple dish that everyone would enjoy easily.
Before we started this match, everyone expected Chef Hong to have a landslide victory.
Chef Mihal seemed like he doesn't even know what LA swag is.
All right. Chef Mihal!
Chef Mihal wins 18th victory.
(Chef Mihal's Baro Bread Right Away Wins!)
(Make batter with flour, eggs, yogurt, salt, and melted butter.)
(Roll out the dough with a roller, cut in a circle, and bake it in a pan with oil.)
(Put yogurt, mayo, and minced garlic in a bowl and make the yogurt sauce.)
(Cut tomatoes in half and remove the stem and slice thinly.)
(Slice the cabbage and the red onion,
and put lemon juice on the cabbage, pepper and red pepper flake on the red onion.)
(Slice smoked lox and green onions.)
(Place the baked bread on the plate
and put yogurt sauce, lox, and vegetable in the respective order.)
(Fold the bread in half and wrap it with paper.)
We are going to have a chicken dish match this time.
Is this really chicken?
It's a match between Chef Jung Ho-young and Chef Oh Se-deuk.
Unfortunately,
there is only one chicken in Baro's fridge.
Because there is only one chicken, they can't use the meat to their hearts' content.
Baro said earlier that there is a part of chicken that he especially prefers.
Just that one part!
Sometimes I order dishes that only have that particular part.
Is it stomach?
This will be a crucial factor.
We are going to play a game to give one chef a chance to choose the part first.
Fight for chicken!
Calling a shotgun for the part! It's a thigh wrestling game.
Can you show us your thigh?
Right here?
Baro is famous for having a strong thigh. His nick name is rock thigh.
I once played this game with him in other show,
-we were tie. -It was neck and neck.
-That means he's very strong. -He was so strong.
(Let us see the thigh that made you tie with a former soccer player.)
He didn't lose to Ahn Jung-hwan.
One, two, three.
It's amazing.
Can you believe that? Can you?
Great. Enough now.
It's awesome.
To tell you the truth, Tak Jae-hoon has amazing thigh and hip.
Excuse me, but now I must take off my pants.
(Keep them on.)
As an opening ceremony, let us see Baro and Jae-hoon's thigh wrestling.
Great idea.
Jae-hoon has a great thigh. He plays a soccer.
Though Jae-hoon's about two decades older than Baro,
twenty four years to be exact.
It's gross.
(Fierce competitiveness from the beginning.)
We will give you five seconds.
-Are you ready? -Yes!
Start!
(Baro must open Jae-hoon's legs. Jae-hoon must keep them at their current position.)
One, two, three.
(Unexpectedly, it seems like a neck-and-neck fight.)
four!
(Jae-hoon's giving all his might.)
(Jae-hoon's legs are not budging.)
(Tak Jae-hoon wins!)
(Young Rock Thigh is surprised at Jae-hoon's strength.)
(Jae-hoon wins his 24 year old junior Baro to everyone's surprise.)
(Respect.)
He did it.
Jae-hoon won. Everyone, give him a round of applause.
(The pain of aftermath that comes with a victory.)
Good. Now let's watch the match between Jung Ho-young and Oh Se-deuk.
-Who will be the lucky winner? Are you ready? -Yes.
Let the game begin.
Start!
(Oh Se-deuk must keep his legs in their position while Jung Ho-young must open them.)
Five! Four! Three!
(Must win to take Baro's favorite part.)
Two! One!
Oh Se-deuk wins!
Chef Oh, please take the parts you want to use.
Take them first.
And Chef Jung can use the rest.
-Which part is he taking? -The part we used in the wrestling.
I will use chicken thigh.
He's taking chicken legs.
Is he using Baro's favorite part?
-He's taking wings. -Chicken wings.
I will use wings and a bit of breast.
Chef Jung's using wings and breast.
Which part do you like, Baro?
I ...
only eat chicken legs.
-He says legs. -Oh, you only eat legs?
No wings?
I think there's nothing to eat in wings.
No matter how delicious the dish is, I don't really go for wings.
(Chef Jung: chicken wings, pork belly, mozzarella cheese, red onion, shitake mushrooms,
tomato sauce, egg plant, cherry tomatoes, green onions, paprika, chicken breast, onions.)
Chef Oh: Jalapeno, chicken legs, natto, green onions, paprika, radish.)
The dish I will be making today is Chickenaldo.
Chickenaldo.
Not Ronaldo but Chickenaldo.
I heard Baro likes soccer.
I am making dumplings with chicken wing.
There's a dish called Tebasaki gyoza, which is like stuffed wings.
I am going to use ground meat and pork belly as stuffing.
And I will make tomato sauce instead of traditional Japanese sauce.
If Ronaldo is the king of soccer, then Chickenaldo is the best chicken wings dish.
I am actually a fan of Messi.
(On top of picking the wrong part of chicken, he picked a wrong soccer player.)
Can someone be more unlucky?
-The name's a bit disappointing. -Change to Chickenessi.
-Chickenessi! -That's fine by me.
-It's going to be Chickenessi. -He became timid.
Mine's called "Natto by Myself."
Natto by Myself.
It has natto in it?
Yes, it's nothing fancy. I am just going to roast the chicken.
And add sauce made with natto and vegetable. It's going to be chicken over rice.
I feel a bit nervous since I need to make Japanese style sauce
when Japanese cuisine is Chef Jung's specialty.
You guys switched your specialties.
He's making tomato sauce and you are doing Japanese sauce.
Right.
Let us begin the competition then.
Chef Jung Ho-young, who's dedicated enough to put his hand in burning oil,
will compete against Chef Oh Se-deuk, the alpha-go of cooking.
Which chef will succeed in winning the heart of the fridge owner with his chicken dish?
Let us begin the match!
The chicken dish match has begun!
15 minutes!
(Chef Jung is preparing the wings.)
He's removing the bones.
So there won't be any bones.
I like them without bones.
-He doesn't like bone-in. -Right.
(Chef Oh is also removing the bones from chicken legs.)
(Take out the bones, spread the meat wide and make small cuts.)
(Sprinkle salt on the meat.)
It's going in.
-That's chicken leg meat spread out, right? -That's really good.
The skin part is going to be crispy and savory.
(Mash the jalapeno with hand and cook it with the chicken.)
(Make chilly oil by heating up mashed garlic, oil, and chilly pepper flakes in a microwave.)
(Cut chicken breast meat into small size.)
(Cut pork belly into small size.)
He's adding pork belly to chicken.
That's right.
Chicken with pork belly?
(Put chicken breast, soaked shitake mushroom, sliced onions,
sliced green onions, garlic and pork belly into a food processor.)
I prefer to taste only one kind of meat at a time.
If you mix different types of meat together, it will have both chicken and pork taste.
So basically it won't taste like anything.
When you ground pork belly like that, it gives both tender texture and savory flavor.
-Is that right? -You should try them like that.
Not many dishes have them together.
(Makes dumpling filling with ground meat, eggs, salt, and green onions.)
He's stuffing the wing with filling.
It's a combination of chicken wing meat, egg and mozzarella cheese.
Chef Oh is prepping the vegetable.
(Slice green onions and onions thinly and place it in a bowl.)
(Grate radish and remove the excess water.)
(Make sauce with soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, and sugar.)
(Boil cooking wine.)
(Mix boiled cooking wine with soy sauce.)
(Mix soy sauce, wasabi, mayo with thinly sliced vegetable.)
(Finally, natto has appeared.)
My mom ordered that natto from TV shopping channel,.
I tried a bit, but I didn't really like it..
You didn't?
That's why I have so much of it left.
Chef Oh made a wrong decision.
(Add natto to the sauce.)
Isn't it a chef's job to make a delicious meal with any ingredient?
(I believe in you, Se-deuk.)
(Add sesame oil to natto sauce and mix.)
(Mix flour and water to make batter for frying.)
(Coat the wing with flour and deep it into batter and fry.)
It's usually made with starch. But he skipped it.
I used flour batter instead to make it crispier.
I don't like them crispy though.
(Chef Jung's guesses are all wrong today.)
I like them a bit soggy.
I've noticed today Baro is super picky for such a young person.
(Cook instant rice in a microwave.)
You don't like crispy food?
(He put on a lid over the chicken.)
Why did you cover the pan?
To make them soggy.
(He put on the lid so that steam won't escape.)
(Filter the chilly oil that has been heat up in a microwave.)
(Slice green onions and paprika.)
(Stir-fry sliced green onions and paprika with soy sauce in a lightly oiled pan.)
(On the other hand, Chef Jung is...)
(Cut eggplant, cherry tomatoes, and paprika in small size,)
(and stir-fry them with sliced red onions.)
I think Chef Jung changed his strategies. He's adding more colors to his dish.
He's trying to make them more visually appealing.
(Add tomato sauce, shitake mushroom, Sal, pepper to the vegetable and boil.)
(Add sugar to the sauce.)
(Add chopped jalapeno to the sauce and stir.)
Kim Sung-Joo will go to the cooking scene and see how everything's going.
You stuffed the wing with other meat, right?
-The filling has to be cooked, right? -Yes, it has to be cooked thoroughly.
And he transfer the wings to the sauce. To the sauce!
That's going to make them soggy.
It's going to be moist.
That's right. It won't be crispy then.
(Takes out the instant rice from the microwave.)
He's putting the rice in a bowl.
(Cut grilled chicken legs in small size.)
(Takes out the chicken wing dumpling cooked in the sauce,)
(and cuts in half.)
(It's beautiful!)
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
(Melted mozzarella cheese flows out like magma.)
15 more seconds!
Do it as you want.
Make it pretty.
(Finish it by placing grilled chicken legs, natto sauce, stir-fried vegetable, and chilly oil)
Chef Oh is done!
Oh Se-deuk's done, and we have 8 seconds to go.
Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
It's finished!
(The chicken dish match is over!)
(Chicken over rice with health food natto.)
(Chef Oh Se-deuk's Natto by Myself.)
You should mix the natto, chicken, vegetable with rice and eat.
(First, put the chicken over rice,)
(and he adds natto on top.)
He's taking a bite.
He's tasting.
(His smile shows that it's delicious.)
(And hesitates...)
He suddenly looks unhappy.
The pungent natto smell comes right into your nose with the first bite.
It made me hesitate a bit.
But the soy sauce and my favorite chicken legs help balance the natto taste.
-He's taking another big bite. -He has a good appetite.
(I rather not look.)
It's a bit upsetting that he's eating all that by himself while we're watching.
He could have asked me if I wanted to try a bite.
Here, the owner of the fridge is the king.
Undoubtedly, the best part of the chicken is leg.
However...
(Big sigh.)
(What does Baro's sudden deep sigh mean?)
This tastes like something I had before.
It didn't have that novelty. It's a familiar taste.
What a bummer.
Most dishes that over-rice dishes taste similar.
It's good though. It's delicious. BUt-
-It's familiar deliciousness. -It's like another over-rice dish.
(Chicken wings that have pork belly and cheese inside.)
(Chef Jung Ho-young's Chickenaldo.)
The chickenaldo is definitely made with chicken wings and breast.
But the finished dish sure looks like chicken legs.
Did you do that intentionally to suit Baro's preference?
Not really. I was-
Too bad. It'd have been awesome if he did that for me.
-Just say you did. -The dish already looks like chicken wings.
-Did you reflect Baro's preference? -Yes.
(Spitting out.)
(Hello, I am Jung Ho-young, a TV personality.)
-I feel like I hold this like a leg. -Absolutely.
There's no bone in the meat, so you can just eat the whole thing.
It looks good.
Okay... wow!
He picked one.
The aroma is like that of tomato spaghetti. Just like tomato spaghetti.
(Yoo hoo~)
You teasing me now?
(Yes...)
(The young Baro is pulling the old Tak's leg.)
(Teasing.)
The god of variety show should be able to deal with this.
I will be honest.
I'd like to ask for a bite.
I almost said it, but I held it.
All right. The dumpling made with chicken wing. Chickenaldo.
Wow.
(Satisfied exclaim!)
(Bewildered.)
(Another exclamation.)
I think this is perfect for the theme of this match, "What kind of chicken is this?"
I've never tasted anything like this.
You usually eat pork by itself,
or chicken by itself.
First of all, the texture is incredible.
It has the texture of high quality pork that's perfectly cooked.
I wouldn't have believed this is chicken if I hadn't seen it.
Nobody would have guessed.
Why am I here again? I should just come out next week.
It's such a torture to watch someone else eating.
This is such a novelty in the world of chicken dish.
Is that so.
I wish you'd make dishes that are like this one.
(Proud.)
Now, it's time for us to taste the dishes.
(What would others think of the Natto by Myself?)
I can tell that this is made by a professional chef. It's different.
(Proud.)
You gave me only three of the natto beans.
Because Baro said he didn't like natto.
-I like them. -Me, too.
I love natto.
Baro does have a different taste in food from us.
He's very young.
-We love this. -This is for older people.
To tell you the truth, I am not a big fan of chicken.
But I do like natto,
and I like rice even better than natto.
-Oh you like rice. -Was the rice cooked well?
You weren't just hungry?
No, no, it's not that. I think this combination is really great.
It's perfect for my taste.
The spiciness of jalapeno and the sourness of the sauce stir up the appetite,
and help balancing out the pungent flavor of natto.
It's nice.
Let's all say that this is delicious and make Baro the weird guy.
Because we make dishes according to the fridge owner's taste,
we encounter such differences.
Let's try the chickenaldo now. Chickenaldo.
(What would the chickenaldo, which has been praised by Baro, taste like?)
-This is... -Can I try yours?
It's savory.
-It's different. -Yeah.
Ours is made with the chicken the producers brought.
And Baro's is made with the chicken that was in his fridge.
They are made with different chickens.
It's other chicken's wing.
-So I tried Baro's... -Okay.
-It's totally different. -Is it?
-Which one's better? -That's why I'd been ogling at Baro's...
-He's giving you one. -I have one piece left.
All right then. Just one bite please.
It was made with a different chicken.
So they taste different?
Do you think it really tastes different?
-It's different. -Really?
When you chew the meat, this one's a bit soft,
while Baro's is more chewy and thick.
They are both really good.
I liked Chef Oh's Natto by Myself a bit better.
Only a professional chef can think of cooking natto and chicken together. And it was good.
-It depends on individual preference. -Everyone has a different taste.
Number one is Chef Jung's,
and number two if Chef Oh's.
Please make a decision and press the button.
-Did you press the button? -Yes.
What kind of chicken is this?
This match was about making a novel and innovative chicken dish.
We now reveal the winner. Let us see the result. Who is the winner?
What kind of chicken is this? We will now reveal the result.

(Chef Jung's Chickenaldo Wins.)

(Thrilled.)

It doesn't feel like I am eating chicken at all. It was such an eye-opening experience.
(Winner's flopping ceremony.)
(His dancing rival is checking out the move.)
Seventh victory of Chef Jung. Congratulations!
Congrats!

Take Good care of the Fridge is too nice?
You guys laugh at each other's jokes when it's not funny.
It's way too nice.
I think his dishes will be oily.
I think his will be pretentious.
So I am eliminating them.
What kind of new realm of taste will be revealed today?
He threw away his spoon.
It's a bit thick.
You eat this, and you will die.
Just don't eat and go home.
I will pay for my food.
(The bad boy has come to conquer the Fridge!)
(I've waited for this day!)
Here comes Lee Sang-min, who has been honing his cooking skills in a parking lot.
Kim Poong.
You are going down today.
Who will be the true champion of amateur cooking?
We will now reveal the result.
(Take Good Care of the Fridge.)
Wow. It. Was. Good.
