Today's guests are comedian Kim Joon-hyun and singer John Park!
Welcome!
We'll have a debate for a foodie special.
If you could eat one thing before you die?
- Pork ribs! - Pork ribs!
The fireworks were going off and bells were ringing.
Nangmyun of course. I'm so happy after eating that bowl of nangmyun.
(Hilarious)
A nangmyun cook off!
He's cutting them.
So thinly.
Here. Wow!
It's supposed to be soft-boiled!
Move!
It's over!
(Poong's bootleg version of nangmyun)
(How does the nangmyun taste after all that ruckus?)
Is it okay?
(Can't help but to laugh!)
Chef Lee Yeon-bok's dish was very good.
One dish was very good and the other one was?
I think it tastes weird but it's good.
(Poong's magic)
You think it tastes weird but it's good.
I heard there's a national policy you want to propose in regards to food.
Joon-hyun, what is your proposal?
I want that kind of culture to be established.
When you order fried dumplings, you only have soy sauce.
But I personally think fried dumplings should be paired with mayonnaise.
That's right.
Kim Poong told me that mayo tastes better with black pepper.
So I put black pepper in the mayo and ate it with dumplings. It was so good!
- Things like that. - I see.
So people should carry things like mayo, can of tuna, jam, and margarine,
and it shouldn't be weird for them to take it out in any restaurant.
I'd like a culture like that to be established.
I want what Joon-hyun mentioned about carrying sauces in your bag
to be illegal.
What?
- They're on two opposite sides. - It's not like I carried around a bomb!
It's not a gun or anything!
You think it should be restricted.
I don't like it when extra things are added to a completed dish, including nangmyun.
He likes it traditional.
- Dipping kimbap in cream sauce and... - It's good.
eating katsu with chili sauce. I can't eat it like that.
And when I see that...
- You don't want them to do it. - Yes.
What Jjohn is saying is right because
Hold on. Chef Lee,
it's John.
It sounds weird when you say it like that.
- I was trying to sound cool. - Oh, I see.
John looks pretty flustered.
Whenever a dish is completed,
the chef has made it to completion.
Right.
- I also really want to preserve the original taste. - Right.
So I want to enjoy the original taste as much as I can,
and afterward, I want to enjoy one dish like it's part of a course meal.
That's right!
I meant that I want to enjoy it.
You guys have different opinions.
- You made me seem like an unethical person! - No!
- It's just a matter of preference. - Preference.
I heard that you actually set a date for food enjoyment day.
- A food enjoyment day? - I'm the type that when I want to eat something,
I hold it in and enjoy it greatly later.
- So when it comes to beef, - Beef.
I'm close friends with the owner of the butcher shop in my neighborhood.
Up until last year, he used to text me when he got a cow.
He would personally send me a text.
- A long time ago, I was obsessed with chuck tail flap. - Okay.
I asked for all the chuck tail flap and there was this much.
After he cut it up for me, I started cooking them on a Sunday afternoon.
- At your house? - I heated up the grill enough to see the smoke.
My wife and I cooked one piece at a time.
It was like flip, flip and a glass of soju.
(A glass that brought much happiness)
We sat there all afternoon and ate until the whole house smelled like meat.
When we couldn't bear the greasy taste anymore, we made spicy chives right then.
- You've got to get the chives. - The veggies.
It's spicy and sweet, and we ate for another hour as we watched TV.
Then my wife went to go sleep because she was too tired to do it anymore.
That's when it all starts.
Your own party.
I took out various alcohols and paired them together.
And if it felt too heavy, I'd make kimchi stew and eat them together.
When I finish it off, it turns out to be an amazing day.
It's a legit eating show, for real.
I remembered a line from a Japanese drama with a food fighter on there.
My stomach is like the universe.
- A universe. A black hole. - My stomach is like the universe.
It's a line at the end.
- It's perfect for him. - I agree.
- Since Joon-hyun is the top foodie in the world of food, - That's right.
He doesn't just eat the food.
- He eats it according to T.O.P... - It's T.P.O.
It's T.P.O, not T.O.P.
(Ha... Ha...)
We got you!
T.P.O! T.P.O!
He eats according to the time, place, and occasion.
What does that mean?
For example, when I go to eat sausage soup in winter,
I first go and order one bowl of sausage soup with a bottle of soju.
Then I step outside again in just short sleeves.
Then I shiver in the cold about 5 to 10 minutes.
- I get really cold. - I think I know what you mean.
- When you go back inside, the soup is waiting for you. - Right.
I make myself become really cold and then eat it.
- So you plan it out. - It really tastes 10 times better.
He's planning out the occasion.
I really like fishing for carps.
I go on a two day trip and stay up all night.
When I drive back home in the morning, I get really sleepy and hot from the sun.
I crave beer very badly.
So from then on, I don't even take a sip of water.
- To make the occasion? - Yes.
- For when you arrive home? - Yes. Not even a sip.
I drive for 2 hours from Eumsung.
I like it even better if there's traffic.
If there's traffic when it's hot, I get more irritated.
So I go to a sushi restaurant in Yeoido and buy 2 boxes of sushi.
Then I buy about 5 big bottles of really good beer.
- Cold ones. - I don't eat them right away when I go home.
I shower with hot water.
If you do that, you get irritated to the max.
It's like I've absorbed all the heat in the world.
Then I start to sweat even though I just took a shower.
That's when I turn on the fan on low and sit in my underwear.
I turn on a show that's relaxing.
And I sit there and look at the sushi for a while.
I stare at it.
I hold it in until the end.
Then I open the beer and take a sip.
There's already a piece of sushi in my right hand.
Once I pop it into my mouth, that's it.
It makes me so happy.
So in order to eat, you have to get your body temperature right too.
- Of course. - It's important.
- I think that's how you can really enjoy the food. - He really is the top foodie.
I think I should try it.
After hearing Joon-hyun's explanation, I want to try it.
You have to do it once in a while.
Right.
By any chance, are there food that you can't eat?
Something I don't eat because people tease me is espresso.
- Espresso! - I really like them.
When I hold that small cup, they tease me that it looks like a sauce dish.
Everyone teases me.
I see. Then we should see it for ourselves.
When Joon-hyun drinks espresso.
When I hold it, there's an illusion.
- It makes me look pathetic. - I see.
It looks like a kid's toy.
Everybody, let's see the difference between Joon-hyun and John.
(Wow)
It looks good when John does it.
How does this...
(If that's just coffee, this is a sauce dish)
Then is there a chef that you'd like to definitely have for your team?
If you could just pick one.
- I've been to Italy too. - Okay.
But I haven't tried traditional Italian food.
It's salty and I don't really know much about it.
- It's salty, huh? - The food at franchise restaurants are really good.
Things like super deluxe supreme pizza. Those are really good.
They suit our taste palate.
Since I'm here, I want to try Chef Choi's delicious traditional Italian food.
- One that Koreans will enjoy. - Yes.
- We're looking forward to the match. - Yes. I'm excited.
We'll take a look inside Joon-hyun's fridge now.
I wonder what the professional foodie will have in his fridge?
What if a cow comes out when we open the freezer?
(Laughing)
A cow, pig, lamb, and a field will come out in a line.
Seriously.
Let's be careful.
We present to you Joon-hyun's fridge for the first time on television!
Be careful! Be careful!
We present to you Joon-hyun's fridge for the first time on television!
Be careful! Be careful!
There's not much.
Be careful! Be careful!
There's not much.
- What is this? - There's not much.
- It's empty. - What if he finished everything beforehand?
This is a little...
Isn't this too empty?
- People think it would be stocked full. - Right.
If you flip it around, you can say that we don't leave leftovers.
We don't have leftovers, so we don't have much to put in there.
- Because you finish it right away. - Right.
Our compost trash can looks new because we don't use it that much.
For the fridge too... A lot comes out, but only a few go back in.
- And it's organized... - Neatly.
Is it usually this neat?
Yes, I like organizing things.
- I like putting things out of sight at home too. - I see.
- This level of cleanliness is... - Maintained?
I guess it's pretty clean.
(The foodie is proud of his empty fridge)
We'll look at the fridge section first.
People usually don't organize them like this.
I think they ended up there because the fridge looked too empty.
- Oh as backup? - Yes.
I think there was something else in there, but more were added.
They could've stayed outside, but they came for the show.
Right, they were cast.
- The first shelf looks empty since we took these out. - There's nothing.
Wow... This looks like an expensive chocolate.
Oh someone gave it to me because they didn't like it.
The chocolate has salt in it. It's really good paired with alcohol.
Right.
- Is this Chin Xu? - I bought it in Vietnam because I liked it.
He keeps them organized.
- There are 4 rows of 3 types of beer. - Yes.
There's a variety of alcohol on this side too.
- In the fridge, I have cold soju. - Okay.
In the storage, I have lukewarm soju.
On days when I want to drink lukewarm soju, I'll make veggies.
When I eat simple things, I'll take out the lukewarm soju.
And when I have stews, I'll have the cold one.
He really goes by the situations. Isn't he so sharp?
- T.P.O. - This is it.
When we're done today, we should all go and have some-
How is he so good at making that noise?
Do you have any drunk habits?
I like to sing when I'm drunk.
But I don't announce to people that I'm going to sing.
After I have some drinks, I'm just like-
It happens like that.
- It just comes right out. - Because I get so happy.
That's my drunk habit.
John, what's your limit when you drink?
About 3 bottles of soju.
- Wow. - Three bottles.
- What do you eat to cure a hangover? - Nangmyun and soju.
- Nangmyun is the best for hangovers. - It is?
- Yes, it's the best. - Of course.
When you drink the nangmyun soup and have a glass of soju,
the hangover gets cured right away.
Drinking to cure a hangover isn't advisable,
but when big drinkers have a drink when they have a hangover,
it strangely makes them feel better.
- Really? - They don't feel sick.
When they feel better, they're like,
"What? That actually made me feel better."
- Then they like to drink even more. - Exactly.
- That's why I'm worried! - Then it just continues on for two days.
- John is really something. - Yes, they all like drinking.
- We see some side dishes now. - Yes.
Your wife made these?
- They're from my mother-in-law. - Oh, I see.
Every house has anchovies!
Being on this show has made my bones grow stronger.
Because I eat anchovies every time.
- There's dried squid and over here... - Jangjorim.
There's jangjorim.
If you wrap it with seaweed and rice...
- That's right. - It's filling.
- All you need is that. - Right.
- Chef Choi, wake up and sample some.
(Sleepy)
Sleep after you eat.
You have to close your eyes when you're smelling the food.
- Oh, you were enjoying the smell. - Yes, we didn't know.
Some side dishes. Wow, anchovies.
The anchovies have a lot of nuts in them.
It makes a great snack that goes with alcohol if you eat it with some seaweed.
The dried squid is really good!
His food is less sweet than I expected.
I don't really like sweet stuff.
- When you get a spoonful of rice, - Yes?
how do you scoop it so that you have a perfectly round ball of rice?
When I tried to do it at home, I couldn't do it no matter how hard I tried.
- This is... - Yes?
You can't think of it as scooping something just because it's a spoon.
You have to think of it as a shovel.
The shovels scoop up the dirt, but they also can flatten the ground.
That's right.
You use the sides of the bowl to flatten the rice together.
Like this.
- You have to flatten it. - Use the sides to flatten it.
- To the outside? - Yes.
You gather it together and push it out.
Wow! That's really...
- That's right. It makes a round shape. - You just push it out.
That's right.
- This is... - That's...
And when you put it in your moth, you have to tilt the angle a little.
Like when you park at an angle, you have to tilt.
(The student is taking notes)
(Yum)
It went in like this.
Oh, you tilt it right here.
You have to flatten it like a shovel.
This is how I eat everyday.
Like that. There you go.
- Put a side dish on it. - Dried squid.
He's putting the side dish on top.
(Tilting slightly)
(Success)
Like that.
I eat this every day but it tastes good having it outside.
(The location matters for this foodie)
The rice was cooked well too.
(Another bite!)
He eats it so neatly!
- There's nothing left on his spoon. - It's smooth.
Very clean.
I didn't know you'd be curious about this stuff.
- I'm proud that I got to teach you. - I'll practice more.
On this side, there are fruits.
The fruits are in Ziploc bags too.
Then let's move onto the freezer.
- Wow! - Raspberries!
- They're cherries. - Cherries?
I press them into juice and drink it every morning.
- Juice? - Yes.
He stocked on them so he won't run out.
There's meat here.
Yes, that's the meat section.
The meats...
Oh, what is this? No wonder...
It's pork belly but it's probably more like bacon, it's very thin.
I've never seen that before.
I always make stir-fry pork and mixed noodles at home.
I have to eat it the moment I crave it.
But I don't have time to marinate it so with the thin meat I season it with onions.
If I push the seasonings down it almost tastes like I marinated it in no time.
-That's why. -So you can eat them fast?
I've never seen pork so thin like that.
These are all types of meat.
You manage housework pretty well.
It's divided by portions for each time I eat-
I see I see.
These are all the same types but
it's one portion.
And the ice cream on the bottom. Wow.
There's so much ice cream.
I have more variety than most markets.
Especially when summer starts.
Normally when you go to the market you see this much.
I have to look for a long time, and I have to search.
You can have that right at home.
That was the fridge.
For the stored food, of course we can find a lot of ramen.
It's for the looks, again.
I don't eat ramen very often but I love seeing my cupboard full.
Joon-hyun you were a commercial model for ramen right?
Yes yes.
From what I hear, you were done filming in no time.
Is it true that you only took 3 takes?
Yes only 3 takes. I asked if we needed to take more but they said it was good.
Do you have any secret to film commercials quickly?
You can't look like you're having a hard time.
You tend to frown when the food is good, but this is a commercial.
You have to eat like this and smile like this.
That's how you do it.
(Kim Joon-hyun you really are the king of food)
We looked into the professional eater Kim Joon-hyun's refrigerator.
Unexpectedly, there aren't that many ingredients.
Didn't I always tell you?
Chefs make delicious dishes with just air, frying pan, and water.
That's how a chef should be.
How can there be fire and frying pain in the fridge?
Just get some more sleep.
(He's still sleep-talking in his dreams..?)
Alright. I'll announce the chefs that will cook for Joon-hyun.
In seed 1,
the chef who dreams, Chef Choi Hyun-seok.
21 wins.
He's a dreamer.
In seed 2,
Sam Kim with 21 wins.
Mihal with 18 wins.
Jung Ho-young with 7 wins.
These 4 chefs will be cooking with the ingredients in Joon-hyun's fridge.
We'll introduce Joon-hyun's ideal meal. Let us see!
Joon-hyun's ideal meal!
"Snacks to pair with drinks that are so good that there are no leftovers."
What? Italian dish? I'll have to go call someone!
The second one should be a bit more rhythmical.
Please. Go ahead.
What? Italian dish? I'll have to go call someone!
(Of course, the original)
"Snacks to pair with drinks that are so good that there are no leftovers."
I like adding things to food as I eat them so
something that I can eat for a long time, 5 to 6 hours, very slowly.
Something you can change from moment to moment.
Just when you're getting tired of the food, you add something.
- For the new flavor. -Yes yes.
What? Italian dish? I'll have to go call someone.
I'd like to taste a dish that I can say "So this is Italian food."
- It's my wish. - Officially.
From what I've seen, you didn't have very many Italian ingredients.
He said before that he just needed air.
So I think that should be more than enough.
Which topic will Chef Choi, who says he just needs air, choose?
Once you experience my Italian dish,
you're gonna only come to my restaurant.
He won't be able to go anywhere else?
I'll let you in on my Italian food today.
Chef Choi. Here we go.
Italian dish.
Me too.
I'll make an Italian dish that's for beginners. One that can be made simply.
He's going heads-on.
Then to the snacks for drinks
Chef Jung and Chef Mihal will compete.
My dad is a big fan of yours.
- Really? - For a long time, from Gag Concert.
Please refrain from soliciting.
I almost fell for it!
I see how it works.
Soliciting on the first meet.
Mi-sik is completely a Korean now.
He knows how to solicit.
Chef Jung. You're on for the snacks for drinks.
Are you okay with that?
Yes. I think so.
My dad is a fan too.
(Eye for an eye, soliciting for soliciting)
I'm torn here.
You have to be objective.
- You have to be careful. - Alright.
(Two chefs passionate soliciting battle)
The first match is
Snacks to pair with drinks that are so good, that there are no leftovers
Now it is time to cook with the best eating celebrity Kim Joon-hyun's ingredients.
It will be a match between Chef Jung and Chef Mihal.
-These two have never competed before. - It's their first.
Yes but-
Because it's for drinks, Mihal might have an upper hand as a person who drinks a lot.
What do you think Chef Jung?
I love drinking so I'm confident with the drink food.
(Confirmed that he loves drinking!)
It sounds cute.
He's always cute.
(Attractive level going up)
(Chef Jung: smoked duck, Kelp, soybean purees, oyster sauce, pork, zucchini, mushrooms)
(Chef Mihal: pork belly, smoked duck, soybean purees, oyster sauce, parsley, pork, cream cheese, zucchini, tomatoes, sirloin, lettuce, sausage, mushrooms)
First, Chef Jung!
Yes the dish I'll make for you today is
the overtime pancake.
Overtime pancake?
Overtime pancakes. What is it?
It's a Korean pancake dish. So when Joon-hyun is
having drinks with his friends,
the pancake will be so good that he'd want to go overtime with his drinks.
Just listening to the introduction I'm sold.
(Succeeded in sparking his interest!)
I'll mince pork, soybean purees, and duck meat to make the batter.
And I'm going to make 2 sauces.
The first will be with mayonnaise, since you mentioned you like it.
For the other one. There's a Chinese food called Chinese meatballs.
I'll modify that sauce so you can pour it.
It's a dish you can change here and there and enjoy.
The dish I'll make is called "Smiling Skewers"
Smiling Skewers.
It's a skewer a skewer.
I'll roll duck meat, beef, and sausage with bacon
marinate them and grill them. I'll make a good salad. And then you can-
Everyone's clicking their tongue.
We'll begin the match between Chef Jung and Chef Mihal.
Chef Jung runs a Japanese-style bar
and is strong at drink-related foods.
Chef Mihal lives and dies for alcohol. Alcohol Chef Mihal.
Who will win the competition?
15-minute cooking competition begins now!
Alcohol-lovers can't help but to pay a attention.
(Chef Jung begins by cutting the vegetables)
(Cut the green onions and onions and appropriate size and place in the blender)
(Cut the white parts of the green onion, garlic, onion, and zucchini.)
(Squeeze the water out of the mushrooms and put them with the vegetables)
(Beginning to make the pancake batter!)
(Blend the mushrooms, pork, smoked duck, and egg together)
(Add the soybean puree to the blender and make the batter)
Just like putting mung beans into mung bean pancakes.
Blending again.
It looks like that's going to be the batter for the pancake.
- He'll put some corn starch in the batter right? -Right. Right.
Sung-joo is as good as a chef now.
I know everything when I see it now.
I know when I look.
(Laughter)
If you're laughing you're old. This is an old one.
These old men.
Of course. The meat. To the right we have Mihal with the meat.
(Cut the meat to size and use the meat tenderizer to make it thin)
(Season with salt and pepper and put the horseradish sauce on them)
That's the thin one right? The one that you can use right away?
Pork belly like bacon. Yes.
Mihal rolling the meat.
He's not just rolling it.
It's called horseradish.
Kind of like minced and pickled vegetables.
It smells really good if you cook it with the meat.
(Put the seasoned beef on top of the pork and roll)
The kumato.
Tomato, then the meat. Tomato then the meat.
Bacon, meat, and tomato right now.
Tomatoes are good but I heard that they're really good for men when you grill them.
Aged-men's topic of interest is stamina of course.
It can't be left out.
This time it's sausage with the cream cheese.
He rolls them with pork and places them on the skewer.
- There's a lot going in here. - Yes.
It's browning nicely.
So pretty.
(Adding corn starch to the blended batter!)
He's adding in the soy sauce. He mixed it with the corn starch.
- The batter has to come out nicely. - Yeah.
The batter is the most important for Chef Jung.
(He's putting plastic bag around the paper cup..)
What's that on the cup?
What are you doing with the cup?
I'm going to use the cup to make the circle shape.
Making the circle pancakes with the cup?
This is a good idea. It's good to remember them.
Famous pancake places do this.
(Trying to make the shape..)
It's not working.
The pancake is not forming. It's not forming.
(Just using his hands to shape them)
Just with his hands! He abandoned the cup!
I was gonna say "I should try the cup thing at home" but good thing I didn't say it.
He should've just used his hands from the beginning.
One side there are pancakes being cooked.
On the other side there are skewers being grilled.
Oh it smells so good.
(Mikael is cutting the smoked duck)
I think he's taking out the jam.
It's quince jam.
Oh quince jam.
It's really sweet.
(Roll the smoked duck and quince jam with bacon, put it on the skewer and grill)
(Skewers done!)
(Making something else with the cream cheese)
(Adding pepper and parsley to cream cheese)
(Accentuate the aroma with garlic)
(Mix cream cheese, pepper, parsley, minced garlic, and inside of the kumato in a bowl)
(Fill the insides of the tomato with the cream cheese filling)
That's so pretty.
He scooped the insides of the kumato and he's filling it in with cheese.
He even has a lid.
(So cute)
It's very detailed.
Mihal. Of course.
(Making the sauce that will go with the pancake)
(Make the sauce by mixing mayonnaise, soy sauce, and pepper)
- Jung-hwan is heading to the scene. - Yes. I'll be right back.
This is-
amazing.
What did you put in here? What's in here?
Inside there are cream cheese, garlic-
This, this. This right here.
I'll taste this one.
I think it'll be good.
How does it taste?
I think I can eat this all night.
(The cream cheese calls for drinks all night!)
- Is it good? - Yes.
(Put the kelp pack in the water to get the broth)
(Sautee the vegetables)
(And add the seafood broth!)
(Then add soy sauce, salt, oyster sauce, and rice wine to make the sauce)
What broth is this?
Try the broth. The broth.
The soup that will go with the pancake.
This is not just an overtime but it will last until a penalty shoot-out!
(Really?)
This is good.
It'll last until the penalty shoot-out.
I'm so curious.
This has a little bit of sweetness and, it's amazing.
Ho-young is good at making soup like that.
Pancakes are browning nicely too.
Are the skewers cooked?
(He moves in the way of the camera..)
(Shows up in the kitchen!)
He's using the ingredients from my fridge-
(Haha)
(He's about to eat everything)
You can't eat them yet.
Just the smell. The smell.
Is it a killer?
I want to take the smell with me.
Guys! Get me the Ziploc bags.
- Pack them for him. - Pack them for him.
2 minutes left!
(Put the chopped lettuce, olive oil, and vinegar in a bowl)
(Peel the cucumber..)
(Slice the peeled cucumber and put them in the bowl as well)
Squid?
He's adding the seasoned squid in there! The squid!
- Seasoned squid with the salad? -In the salad.
The side dish.
I think it'll be good.
(Take the pancakes out of the pan, drain the oil, and put it on a plate)
(Fixing the concentration of the sauce)
(Mix the corn starch and sesame oil to the sauce)
(Place the largely sliced onion on a plate)
(Then place the skewers on top of the onions)
He's sticking it in.
(They look like standing flowers!)
Looks amazing.
-Are those onions on the bottom? - Yes.
(Everyone's shouting)
(Smiling skewers!)
(Serve the salad and cream cheese filled tomatoes with the skewers)
How can you make these out of the things in my fridge?
That's why, that's why.
I would've never imagined.
It's enough. More than enough.
Chef Jung. I think you need to put some effort into presentation!
(Mikael is amazing)
The soup is coming out.
(Top it off with lemon juice)
(Bravo)
Amazing!
(Overtime pancake finishes first!)
Chef Jung is done.
(Chef Jung finishes first!)
It looks like a Mediterranean cuisine!
Mihal you're amazing.
How did you make that in 15 minutes?
(Smiling skewers finished!)
Incredible.
Mihal's dish is complete.
(Getting additional shots for a moment)
(He's protecting the food)
(Very serious..)
(Man...I want to eat it already)
(He can't take his eyes off the dish)
(Chinese sausage and mayo sauce for a night of drinks)
(Chef Jung Ho-young's Overtime Pancake)
He said it's pancake, but somehow I taste Japanese flavors.
(He takes a bite without the sauce)
-It's hard to surprise him. -Yeah.
(He carefully tastes it to analyze the flavor)
There's no seafood in here, right?
No seafood. It's pork and duck blended together.
And soybean puree.
-Somehow it tastes like fishcake. -It does?
Although there's no seafood in it.
-Next is the mayonnaise and soy sauce. -Okay.
You can do whatever you want.
Really I don't want to get started on this so soon.
(He wants to savor the pancake as it is)
-You can enjoy it as much as you'd like. -Yeah.
It's so moist and the texture is really nice.
By the way, looking at the way you eat...
I think you have really sexy lips.
(Eating Champion's beautiful lips)
People tell me I have fat lips. I'm embarrassed.
-Now I'll... -Try it with the sauce.
(He takes a bite)
Does it taste different?
Without the sauce, I'd prefer beer to go with it.
But after I dip it in the sauce, I'd go for makgeolli.
Makgeolli or sake. It changes in that direction.
-So you'd have different kinds of liquor. -Yes.
Depending on what you dip it in.
There's one more way.
-I'll pour it over this. -Is he gonna ask for kaoliang wine now?
That's a whole new dish right there.
(What does it taste like?)
The sound...
The texture is as soft as potato croquette.
But it's not as oily. It's really clean and
every time I chew, I can smell the meat inside of my mouth.
The softness and the meat is just...
It's like jelly. And every time I chew...
the aroma of the meat spreads...
not overwhelming, but very softly.
So I can't stop eating it.
It's like at a really good Japanese pub
the chef incorporated Chinese cuisine specially for a regular customer.
-It's special. -For the regular customer.
And I feel like I've been treated specially.
I'd go overtime and into the penalty shoot-out.
And I hope this game won't have to end!
Thank you for the food.
(Temptation of flavors that we don't want to end)
(Three different skewers you can choose from)
(Mihal's Smiling Skewers)
-There are three skewers. -This makes me smile.
He picked up a skewer now.
Be careful.
(Sigh)
(He's impressed by the flavors as soon as he eats it)
It would go well with beer.
You ate one and you're already impressed?
I bite into it and-
Like someone sprayed water on me, the juice just...
I don't know how this can be so moist.
He's putting it back.
-He's going to talk about it. -I'll have some salad.
Fresh.
Oh, goodness.
It's smoky and sweet.
It'd go well with Southeast Asian beer.
I think the beef would definitely go well with wine.
This one is definitely for beer.
I want to just take off and drink.
Now that I've had these, I feel like I shouldn't be here.
-Sausage this time. -Sausage.
-The one with sausage. -And cheese.
Wrapped with the thinly sliced meat.
With the sausage...
I think I'll like that one.
I can taste the islands or Greece, with the cheese and everything.
And I feel like all the houses would have a blue roof.
That's what it feels like.
(Take me too)
-Try the tomato. -Tomato.
-Tomato, tomato. -And parsley.
Together. Okay.
It's Mediterranean all the way.
They're really different, though.
I'd like the pancakes when I'm drinking alone
listening to music and thinking about stuff alone.
But with this, I'd like people around me.
With other guys, we'd eat and laugh and stuff.
-We'd have a toast and everything. -Right.
-You're right. -I'm impressed. Thank you again.
Why don't we try it too?
Let's first try Chef Jung's Overtime Pancakes.
First try the pancake by itself.
And then try it with the sauce.
(They try it with the mayonnaise sauce)
Wow. So soft.
Oh, it's very soft.
-It really makes me want to drink. -Yeah.
It just melts in my mouth.
I like the soft texture a lot.
And the meat inside is really tasty.
-I wish I could take one home. -I know.
I want to eat it with beer at home tonight.
Is it the soybean puree that made it soft?
I was going to drain it so I can put it in a paper cup, but
there was a lot of moisture left in it, so it came out soft.
It was too watery, so he couldn't make it work like he wanted to.
It would've worked if he had drained it more.
But it worked out better for him.
-It did. -Yes, so the pancakes are softer.
Mayonnaise and soy sauce makes it more flavorful.
And the last one was just like Chinese meatballs. Well-made Chinese meatballs.
-It was delicious. -He made three dishes with pancakes.
Now let's try Mihal's Smiling Skewers.
(Everybody tries it)
-It's amazing. The quince goes well with it. -Quince.
-The quince is awesome. -What a great idea.
-What's in here? -Quince. (Korean pun)
-Quince? -Yes.
The older men are laughing.
Us older men should laugh for him.
(Let's laugh, older men!)
That was clever.
The presentation looked very tough, but the salad was very refreshing.
I thought it was a delicate dish. I enjoyed it.
Unlike the way it looks, it's delicate.
Number 1 is Jung Ho-young, and Number 2 is Mihal.
-I voted. -You voted? -Yes.
I'm finished. I've voted now.
Both buttons were pushed because his finger was too fat.
(Is that right?)
Push just one. Number one or two.
-I pushed only one. -Let's do it again.
-Should I push now? -He pushed both.
-Here I go. -Go ahead.
-I did it. -He did it.
Who won?
"Snacks to pair with drinks that are so good that there are no leftovers"
A snack dish that goes well with a drink.
Who's the winner? Show us the result!
Who is it?
Mihal!
(Mihal's Smiling Skewers wins)
Mihal wins!
(Mihal wins his first battle against Chef Jung)
Mihal stops Chef Jung Ho-young's winning streak.
-It was a really difficult decision. -I can imagine.
But considering my usual preference and drinking habits,
it would be Chef Jung Ho-young's dish.
But it's soon vacation season.
So I picked Mihal's dish, which made me want to take off.
I'm sorry, but I had to pick Mihal's dish. Thank you.
Is that right?
(Hahaha)
I'm touched since he's from overseas.
-He must watch your show. -Thank you.
-Should we get you his autograph for your father? -Oh, yes.
Let's get an autograph for his father. His father's a fan.
My father's name is Spas.
Wow. The perks of being a winner.
This is Mihal's 19th win!
One more win until 20 wins!
Congratulations!
(Always be happy and healthy, Spas!)
(1. Cut and pound beef sirloin.)
(2. Season with salt, pepper, and spread horseradish sauce.)
(3. Wrap the seasoned beef with bacon.)
(4. Put beef and Kumato on skewer.)
(5. Make cuts on sausage, fill them with cream cheese, and wrap it in bacon and put it on skewer.)
(6. Wrap duck and quince with bacon and put it on skewer.)
(7. Grill the three skewers.)
(8. Make salad with lettuce, olive oil, vinegar, sliced cucumber, squid.)
(9. Fill Kumato with cream cheese, pepper, parsley, garlic.)
(10. Squeeze lemon on top of skewers and salad.)
(Mihal's Smiling Skewers)
"Really? Italian food? Let's call an expert."
This is a competition between fateful rivals.
They've had 8 cook-offs so far
and Chef Choi Hyun-seok is in the lead with 5 wins.
However, none of the 8 cook-offs was
about Italian cuisine, which is their specialty.
Today, they will finally get to utilize their specialty.
-It's like they're putting their restaurants on the line. -Right.
I feel like I shouldn't have requested this.
For your information,
Chef Choi Hyun-seok is losing to Mihal 4:1.
So he closed down his Itaewon restaurant.
(Shut down)
-Really? -Yes.
We closed down because we're moving to a different place.
-Oh, really? -Yes.
The landlord called me and asked me if I want to move in.
(Worn out)
(Happy)
You shouldn't blow this out of proportion. I shouldn't have mentioned it.
I don't care about winning or losing.
But I should do my best as a chef, and that's good manners.
Sam, you too should make your best dish so you can beat me.
-I have a shocking report. -Another one?
I think Sam Kim has some explaining to do.
He said that Chef Choi is not an Italian chef.
How shocking! He said that.
I did.
He really did say that.
- You don't think he's an Italian chef. - I said he's a 'great' Italian chef.
(Heart fluttering)
(Goosebumps)
He's not just an Italian chef, but a 'great' one.
(Chef Kim's ingredients: pasta noodles, bacon, beef, oyster sauce,)
(parsley, zucchini, tomato, angelica, tomato sauce, lettuce)
(Chef Choi's ingredients: bacon, peach, parsley, beef,)
(tomato, balsamic glaze, sausage, lettuce)
The dish I'm making today is called, "Have you had bolognese before?"
"Have you had bolognese before?"
It's the dish that everyone starts out with when they cook Italian food.
- It's the most classic pasta, the one with meat and tomato sauce. - Right.
- It actually has to be boiled for a long time, about 3 to 4 hours. - Right.
But I'm going to compress it and make it in 15 minutes.
The dish I'm going to make is called "Meat of Milan."
"Meat of Milan."
There's something called Saltimbocca.
You pound the calf meat and put sage
and prosciutto ham in the middle and just roast it.
It's one of the traditional dish that Italians eat often.
I'm going to make it using the ingredients from Joon-hyun's fridge.
I think this is the biggest match we've had since I came on this show.
People in Rome are watching this via live stream.
You're going too far.
- At the square. - It's crazy over there.
We'll start the match now.
We'll find out who the top Italian chef is.
Chef Sam Kim who touches the soul with his food versus
Chef Choi Hyun-seok with his skills sent from above.
Who will be the winner of this match?
We'll start the Italian derby right now!
15 minute match!
It's Bolognese versus Saltimbocca.
- Bolognese... - There's a difference between the two chefs.
Chef Sam Kim studied abroad in Italy.
- Right. - But Chef Choi didn't study abroad.
- That's right. - Chef Sam Kim, where did you study in Italy?
I studied in the States.
You were in the States? Not Italy?
(1. Stir fry crushed garlic and beef with oil on a frying pan)
When you go to an Italian restaurant for the first time, you have to try the Bolognese first.
If the Bolognese is good, that means everything there is good.
It's like when you have to try jjajangmyun first at a Chinese restaurant.
(2. Thinly slice the zucchini)
(3. Cook the onions, leeks, zucchini, and chili on a pan with oil)
(4. Pour white wine and water onto the cooked beef) - Chef Sam Kim has put everything on the line.
The fact that he's cooking pasta means he put everything on the line.
It's very serious. No one is laughing right now.
(Huh? It's Bruce Lee's smile!)
(Hilarious)
The more I look at him, I can tell Chef Choi is very suited for acting out skits.
(1. Pound the meat and spread it thinly) - He's pounding the meat.
- He got the sausage. (2. Grind the Vienna Sausage)
- Is he grinding up the sausage? - Yes.
- Something must be stuck! - You're right.
Are you okay? Oh, he's okay.
(His charming bright smile)
(3. Put the ground up sausage on the beef) - He's putting the sausage on the meat.
Adding meat on top of meat...
Since I don't have prosciutto, I'm going to use the sausage to make it taste like pork.
He's using sausage instead of pork.
He's putting on the thinly sliced pork on top.
(4. After pounding the beef, place bacon on top)
(Starts off small and then slams the salt down)
(The salt reached Sam Kim's side)
A lot of it was sprayed on Chef Sam Kim's side.
- He's trying to keep him in check. - That's right.
(Right then!)
(Saint Chef's retaliation!)
(There you go!)
(A very competitive Italian derby)
In soccer, it would be considered a tackle.
-He just tackled. -That's right.
(Season with salt and pepper and pound the meat and thin it out.)
(Sprinkle flour on the thinned meat.)
(On the other hand, Chef Sam Kim is...)
(Boil pasta noodles in salted water.)
(Grind sirloin and bacon with hand mixer.)
-He ground the meat. -And he's stir-frying with sliced garlic.
(Season the stir-fried meat and vegetable with salt.)
(Sprinkle pepper on the meat.)
(Pour tomato sauce on top of meat to make the pasta sauce.)
(Grill angelica gigas and cabbage.)
(Pour in white wine on the meat.)
-He's using four burners at a time. -I've never seen that people.
He's really multi-tasking hard.
He's fast.
The flame went out.
(The burner went out.)
The whole stove is off.
(Emergency Situation!)
Hold on everyone.
(The match is put on hold.)
This really is a fierce match.
I've never seen the burner go out.
It's like someone intruded on the field.
(Big matches always come with unexpected situations.)
(The gas has gone out.)
The burner is completely gone out.
Are we eating like that?
As for Chef Sam's cooking....
Please check the gas.
It's working now.
We need to turn on Sam's burner first.
(After changing the gas...)
We're good to go!
The match is back on.
This is so exciting.
What's gonna happen...
If the producer turned off the gas intentionally, she's a genius.
(The match just got more interesting because of the accident.)
(Stirfry diced tomatoes with the meat.)
(Make salad dressing with parsley flakes, lemon juice, oyster sauce, and olive oil.)
(He tastes the pasta.)
Chef Sam looks really disappointed now.
He chewed on the pasta noodle and tilted his head disapprovingly.
It could have not turned out the way he wanted.
(Make salad dressing with balsamic glaze, lemon juice, and olive oil.)
(Mix the minced onion and peach with salad dressing.)
(Slice cabbage and tomato in a bite size and place on the plate.)
Finally, Chef Choi has begun to grill the meat.
He's started on the meat.
(Meat is getting browned.)
The meat is super thin.
Let's go see up close.
He's pouring in white wine over Saltimbocca.
Wow, look at that sizzling.
It looks so good.
(Boil Saltimbocca with sugar and butter.)
You have to keep stirring in to mix the butter and sauce well.
If you don't stir, they get separated.
Oh that's why you can't stop stirring.
-May I try the sauce. Just the sauce. -Sure.
Just the sauce with meat in it.
Can you taste Milan?
(Has he succeeded in creating the flavor of Milan?)
It is the flavor of Milan.
This one has the citrus taste,
but at the same time is savory because of butter.
(Chef Kim has more things to do than Chef Choi.)
(He places the grilled vegetable on plate and pour salad dressing.)
He has to multitask.
(And add the bite-sized tomatoes.)
Chef Kim is taking out the noodles.
With 3 minutes and 10 seconds left, he's taking out the noodles.
(The cooked noodle is then mixed with stir-fryied meat and pasta sauce.)
(Sprinkle parsley flakes on sauce.)
(Pour the sauce over the Saltimbocca)
Oh, Meat of Milan is finished.
(Oops!)
(Pour the salad dressing over the cabbage and tomato.)
What's going on?
(Seeing Chef Choi violates the rule,)
(Chef Kim, the Saint Sam Kim, is angry.)
(Meat of Milan is finished, for real this time.)
-We'll let it slide since the time hasn't run out yet. -Of course.
Chef Kim is taking his time, since Chef Choi finished first anyways.
(Chef Choi is wiping the sauce off the plate for him.)
We have less than a minute. The pasta is on the plate now.
-Sam! You have 30 seconds! -Chef Choi is kindly reminding Chef Kim of time.
Sam! You need to hurry!
-Sam! Let's go! You can do it! -How kind.
Sam! (Abhorred.)
You have 15 seconds. You need to wrap it up now.
(Anxious.)
Parsley! Parsley! Parsley!
Nine! Eight!
(Chef Sam Kim's Have you Had Bolognese Before? is finished!)
He finished it with seven seconds left.
(Troublesome Italian cuisine match is finally finished.) -Good job!
We witnessed an unexpectedly dramatic match today.
It was a lot of fun.
I'm sure it will be fun to watch this on TV, but it'd have been better to watch live.
(Cooking variety show! Take Good Care of the Fridge!)
(Italian Saltimbocca made with sirloin, bacon, sausage.)
(Chef Choi's Meat of Milan.)
-The producers say you can eat as much as you want. -They did?
Why are they telling me now? The show's about to finish.
(God of Eating Show is Infuriated.)
-They should have said that earlier. -Right.
Let me try.
Do it.
(He cut the Saltimbocca and whoosh!)
(This is it!)
(Happy.)
It's not chewy at all.
Chewing texture of the meat is so pleasing in my mouth.
It's tender yet succulent. It has great texture.
(The dish that even impresses the god of eating show.)
The flour he coated the meat with brings out the savory taste of bread.
The taste of fresh bread with butter.
As he grilled the meat, the savory taste of bread was enhanced.
That little bit of flour made all the differences.
The flour works like a pillar that's supporting the meaty flavor.
I feel like I am eating in front of the opened window.
You know those french windows that can be opened like this.
You open the window and see gondoliers rowing.
They are singing on a gondola.
And I will be like, "Hey, Alberto!" You get the feeling?
(Meat of Milan makes you feel like you are in Italy.)
This is something I'd like to eat in the morning in Italy.
(Heavy meat dish for breakfast?)
You know how pork belly tastes awesome in the morning.
I'd love to eat this in the morning, make sandwich with this, and drink wine.
(Impresed.)
It must be really good. He's suddenly talking a lot.
He said he's not familiar with Italian cuisine.
He's very excited.
I must go back to Italy.
He's done with the dish already. Chef Kim's looking discouraged.
His face is getting darker. (Chef Kim's pasta is getting soggy.)
(Traditional bolognese made in 15 minutes.)
(Chef Sam Kim's Have You had Bolognese Before? )
-I am nervous. -He's nervous.
Look at the bolognese.
(Slurp.)
Listen to the sound of him eating.
(Growling.)
(Admiring.)
(It sounds like he's scolding someone.)
(Growling.)
This is it. That's right.
(powerful suction.)
The noodles disappeared in a second.
We should have given him more.
It's a bit smokey. The meat has the smokey taste.
And it has the kick of spiciness in the end. Just a tad spiciness. I like it.
-It's not too much. -It's so delicious.
Most of the pasta I had before tasted like the noodles and sauce were separated.
That's the kind of pasta I am familiar with.
But this one, even though the noodles are not thoroughly cooked,
is perfectly seasoned with the sauce. Not too much, not to little.
I am very impressed.
He's saying it is nothing like the past he had before.
It's amazing.
He finished two dishes just like that.
-And he ate a lot before this match. -He's incredible.
Usually people take their time, talking and dining, when they go eat something like that.
That's all just a facade.
-He says it's a facade. -I am full, but watching him makes me feel hungry.
(Licking the last bit of sauce on his lips.)
(This is a torture.)
I feel like we are watching an eating show.
(Another show in this show.)
(He's glad.)
If you have this, you don't need to go to Italy.
Shall we try too then?
Let's try Chef Choi's "Meat of Milan" first.
(Chef Kim's trying.)
A traditional Italian food, Saltimbocca.
It has great aroma.
(His eyes are opened wide.)
Isn't it amazing?
I really want to try making this at home.
Can you handle it?
I think so.
-Can I use beef instead of veal? -Yes. You can make it with beef,
Or you can also use pork rib-eye. It has a similar texture.
I haven't been to Italy since retirement.
You just sent me over there with this flavor.
It brings back memories.
Would this dish be served in any Italian restaurant?
I don't think many Italian restaurants in Korea have it.
Your restaurant would serve Saltimbocca if someone requested, right?
It's easy to make.
(Very sophisticated and subtle insult.)
-It's nothing, he says. -That was smooth.
(Their rivalry is firing up.)
You guys must go to his restaurant and try.
To see how they are different.
Now we will go on and try Sam Kim's Bolognese. Bolognese.
This is my first time trying.
(Chef Choi is tasting his rival's food.)
(MC. Ahn who once lived in Italy take a bite.)
The noodles absorbed the flavor perfectly.
(Surprised!)
Damn, he's good.
MC Ahn acknowledged Chef Kim's skills.
I wouldn't say it's perfect.
Because he lacked many ingredients.
The fridge doesn't have all the Italian ingredients.
If he had those, he would have made me cry.
-Because it will make you nostalgic? -Yes.
And he made in 15 minutes.
John Park ate the dish clean.
-You ate too much, no? -Nah, I am still hungry.
I'd love to have another bowl of pasta, but it's time to go home...
-Which means I can't have any more... -Are you sad?
-These are dishes I can try only today... -Right.
He's gonna cry.
I guess it's important to separate the meat and the sauce when you cook those.
You have to.
It has much stronger meaty flavor and a hint of tomatoes.
It's totally different.
Traditionally, bolognese has tomato sauce with intense meaty flavor.
But it's the other way around in Korea.
You guys tried each other's dish?
Yes.
You can't believe he made that flavor in 15 minutes.
But may I say that...
I am a bit disappointed that he used pre-made sauce.
(Of course.)
(Exhilierating moment of dissing(?) the rival.)
First of all, I love the texture.
It was tender and nice.
But may I say that... you should have used more lemon juice...
(Heart-warming moment of a dissing match between rivals.)
Could've used more lemon juice.
It's time to make a choice.
There's no avoiding it.
You have to choose. If it's too hard for you, you can discuss with John Park.
No, no no. I don't want to.
It won't affect the result in any way.
(Should I do it then...?)
Since it's difficult for him to choose on his own.
Alright then, Mr. Kim Joon-hyun who proposed this match will determine...
Why are you doing this to me? You guys are the ones who wanted this match.
You said you wanted to watch.
This is huge.
This is no joke.
The professional gamblers in Italy has predicted a tie.
They haven't been able to decide the winner.
This is impossible...
My vote doesn’t count, but still I am so conflicted.
What's Mr. Kim Joon-hyun's decision?
Joon-hyun, you're going to visit Italy in the future, right?
How about you choose the dish you'd like to try on your first night there?
I want both.
-Or how about- -Right? I'd want to try both.
(Even the King Solomon wouldn't be able to solve this.)
Okay, so number one for Sam Kim.
And number two for Choi Hyun-seok.
I get indigestion maybe once in three years. I think I'm getting one today.
I pressed the button.
(Writhing in agony.)
How could they make me choose..
(John Park made his choice too.)
We won't reveal who John choose but-
You two will-
Wait, then my vote will be disclosed.
They chose different dish.
We didn’t reveal it.
We just said you chose the other dish.
You bit their bait. You did bite it.
Let's see which dish Joon-hyun chose. Let us see his choice!
(I can't watch.)
Who will be the winner of Italian Cuisine Derby? Who will take the 22th victory?
Please show us the result!
Who will be the king of Italian cuisine? Who will take the 22th victory?
Please show us the result!
(Sam Kim's "Have you Had Bolognese Before?" has won.)
(Sam Kim is the winner of Italian Cuisine Derby)
Sam Kim has won. He's the winner!
I couldn't really decide which dish was tastier.
So I took in the advice of Kim Poong and decided.
When I go visit Italy, I think I would want to try this dish, the most basic one,
before trying anything else.
Because it's the basic dish.
I think what Joon-hyun just said makes total sense.
I just have to beat up Kim Poong now.
(I request a protection service.)
(Chef Choi's excited at finding his prey.)
What did you say that for? It should have been a fair match.
(Chef Kim is a perfect partner of Chef Choi in picking on others.)
(A cooking show filled with betrayal and conspiracy.)
22th victory!
Congratulations Sam Kim!
Wow, that was a great match.
(1. Cook pasta noodles in boiling water with salt.)
(2. Saute garlic and stew beef.)
(3. Add white wine, water, tomato sauce.)
(4. Grind beef sirloin and bacon in a blender.)
(5. Saute sliced garlic, ground meat, white wine, parsley, kumato.)
(6. Add pasta to the meat and the sauce.)
(7. Grill onion, green onion, zucchini, pepper, Angelica gigas, and lettuce.)
(8. Mix parsley, lemon juice, oyster sauce, olive oil to make dressing.)
(9. Put grilled vegetables on a plate, pour dressing, and add cut kumato.)
(10. Put pasta on the plate and sprinkle parsley.)
(Sam Kim's "Have you had bolognese before?")
(Yay! It's summer!)
Oh, the sun is really hot.
-It's been a while since we filmed outdoors. -You call this outdoors?
-You call this outdoors? -Just play along.
Take Good Care of the Fridge Summer Special!
Today, we'll be cooking in a place that's just like the outdoors!
But the atmosphere is just a little too dark. So...
So our guests have prepared a lot of ingredients necessary for camping.
(Camping isn't camping without music)
(With singing and cooking)
(Camping that's filled with romance)
(It doesn't get any more fun than this)
(It doesn't get any refreshing than this)
(Enjoy camp site cooking battle!)
(Take good care of my summer vacation)
(Take Good Care of the Fridge)
Here comes Ye Ji-won!
(Let's leave together!)
