A project to make the better use of those bothersome leftover foods in your fridge.
Best chefs of Korea are here to invade your fridge!
The premium cooking show, Take Good Care of the Fridge!
Whatever these chefs make, they become popular.
Let me introduce our chefs to you!
Welcome.
There is a space between Chef Oh and Chef Choi today.
Let me sit over there.
I promise I will attract more people to watch our show.
Why don't you do that in a different show?
I met him at a wedding ceremony yesterday, he was MCing.
- You are doing everything, Poong. - You're MCing now?
I can.
The groom was a PD from a different broadcasting station.
I heard Poong saying,
"I am the son of Olive Broadcasting Station."
And I thought,
"If you are the son of Olive, I am the oldest son of JTBC."
" I am the oldest son of JTBC."
That guy!
(A fierce fight before the Fall season starts.)
The empty seat is for the very special chef visiting us today.
He has 20 years of experience in Western food.
He used to serve VIPs.
The VIP as in the president of South Korea.
She is the VIP we are talking about here.
He is a former chief chef of the Blue House Secretary Office.
Wow.
Former chief chef.
Please welcome Chef Han Sang-Hun!
Chef Han Sang-Hun.
(He has formidable aura.)
Welcome!
(20 Years of experience in Western Food)
(Focuses on the original taste of the ingredients)
(But creative and delicious)
(Recognized by the country, Chef Han Sang-Hun)
Your uniform is very unique.
Because he has served the VIP.
He was chosen as the Blue House Chef during Lee Myung-bak's presidency.
Recently, he has served the current president, Park Geun-hye.
Hello, I am Chef Han Sang-Hun. I'll do my best today.
Chef Han Sang-Hun!
I have a question.
If you work for the Blue House, do you get paid a lot or is it an honorary position?
I am really curious,
He's wondering how much you get paid.
(How much)
(does a Blue House Chef)
(get)
(paid?)
It's not the pay that matters.
You have to be lucky to be chosen.
It's not like there is a job posting about an open position on JobKorea...
(Laughing.)
Right, it shouldn't be on any of those websites.
Secretly, they choose 1 chef from each hotel.
They reduce down to 3 candidates and the VIP holds the final testing session.
The VIP tastes all 3 candidates' plates,
- and elects only one? - Right.
What kind of food do VIPs like?
If...I.. say that....
Oh, you have to keep it secret?
You can find that information online.
Then you can tell us!
Did you come with a secret agent? You look uncomfortable.
I'm just very nervous.
Oh, that's why?
So many cameras.
You are not afraid of being taken by someone if you make a mistake, right?
(He's smiling mischievously.)
Are meal times set in the Blue House?
What if the VIP wants a late-night food?
We go get them using a motorcycle.
Really?
So VIPs eat delivery food just like we do.
I can't tell if you are joking or not.
Why can't I believe you?
You look like a fun guy.
Have you heard that you look like someone?
I've heard Lee Yong-ryul.
Oh, yeah! You kind of do look like him!
You eyes look similar to his.
- Also, you look like Ko Chang-suk. - Yeah, kind of.
Has any of our chefs served VIPs before?
I have. Ministers, members of National Committees, or diplomats...
Oh, those VIPs...!
- I have, too! - Really?
Which one?
The president of my country.
Oh, the President of Bulgaria.
I have served many VIPs as well.
Which ones?
Every customer visiting my restaurant is my VIP.
I see.
He got me again.
I am looking forward to tasting the food made by former Blue House chief chef.
It is time to introduce our guests for today.
The God and Goddess of Acting have visited us today.
We paid attention to the chairs.
We got brand new chairs for the guest for the first time.
Let me introduce the guests for our show today!
(Today's fridge)
(Take out everything in the fridge.)
(Move them to the studio.)
(Another fridge.)
(Everything to the studio as well.)
(We will now introduce...)
(the owners of the fridges.)
Please come out!
(Today's guests make the chefs stand up to show respect.)
(Their appearance is imposing in itself.)
Welcome!
Thank you for visiting us, Park Geun-hyung and Kim Mi-sook.
Mr. Park, I will be briefing about the menu.
We have Western, Korean, and Japanese. Which one do you like the most?
I eat everything.
(He's very witty.)
That was it, sir.
I was worried for nothing.
He sees like he likes everything.
Thank you, Mr. Park.
He is a living legend.
It's his 58th year acting! He's known for acting Presidents in many dramas and movies.
Let me introduce Actor Park Geun-hyung!
(Welcome.)
I'll stand up to say hello.
(Bowing down.)
(He's dignified.)
It's Ms. Kim's turn.
She's pretty as cosmos and elegant as a swan.
She's the goddess from the 80s.
Let me introduce Actress Kim Mi-sook, who is still actively acting in many dramas!
Welcome!
(Even her gesture is elegant.)
She is beautiful.
Mr. Park is the oldest guest we have ever had in our show so far.
Please excuse me... You were born in 1940..
You are right.
- Then you are... - 77 years old.
Does it make Chef Lee the second oldest for today then?
What is your Chinese Zodiac animal?
A pig.
What month were you born in?
Why is she asking the month, not the year?
- I was born in July. - Then I am older!
(I am the second oldest here.)
By how many months are you older?
- 4 months. - Oh, 4 months.
She's older by 4 months.
Chef Lee seems a little nervous right now.
The two guests have a very special relation.
They first met at Kim Mi-sook's debut drama.
Is that true?
Yes, it was called the "Endless Trip" from TV Literature.
Oh, from TV Literature...
(What's that?)
Mihal seems he doesn't care.
(To Mihal, a young Bulgarian, her old shows are not familiar.)
-There was a program called "TV literature." -Are you sleeping?
You are listening, right?
Back then, actors first met at the drama studios.
I looked every where but I couldn't find Mr. Park.
I thought Mr. Park would get off from a Royal Salon
because he was a very famous celeb.
But he got off from Pony...
That's back when Pony 2 came out.
- He rode Pony 2? - Yes, he was.
I was shocked when I first met him.
He looked at me and said, "Oh, hi." and passed by.
(He always goes against out expectations.)
Mr. Park was probably in his early 40s back then.
Probably.
Later, I became friends and told him that
I was very shocked that he got off from Pony. And he said..
"My kids are growing up and I am the head of the household."
"I couldn't spend much money to make myself look good in front of the audiences."
Were you suffering from money back then?
Yes, everyone was.
I wasn't ashamed of that at all.
I just enjoyed what I liked to do.
The entire country was suffering.
I am sure that hard moments have shaped you in a way
so that you are praised by other actors and actresses today.
I've heard that you are appearing in a new movie very soon.
I was recently filmed in a movie about grandfathers.
The movie is called "Grandfathers."
One day, I get a phone call saying that my son has died.
And I become curious about his death and...
(He's telling the whole story...)
(Please Stop, Mr. Park.)
Mr.Park, if you tell us everything.....
Oh, yeah.
- Our audiences will... - Please use only a half of what I said.
- Yeah, we don't wait to spoil the movie. - Right.
From now, we will be introducing Mr. Park's fridge to you guys.
After you decided to reveal your fridge to the audiences,
wasn't your wife mad about it?
She was mad.
I thought so.
I didn't know that I had to open the inside of the fridge.
She was like, "What?"
Her eyes were like this big.
"The Fridge?"
So I was scolded once.
My daughter-in-law convinced her that this show is very fun and famous.
So my wife agreed to open our fridge to public.
That's good for us.
Are you living only with your wife?
Yes, just two of us.
I see. Your kids are not living with you.
- Are you ready? - Let's go.
I'm scared.
Let me introduce Mr. Park Geun-hyung's fridge to you!
(What would be inside the national actor's fridge?)
Let me introduce Mr. Park Geun-hyung's fridge to you!
(Oh.)
Let me introduce Mr. Park Geun-hyung's fridge to you!
- It's very organized. - It's clean.
Seems like Mr. Park's daughter-in-law did some work here.
First of all, we have some pre-made side dishes.
Some pre-made side dishes here!
- Which one do you... - Stir-fried anchovies!
Everyone likes this side dish.
Stir-fried anchovies that every Korean has in their fridges.
Is this pickled radish?
Oh, it looks like ginger.
- Ginger. - There is a little bit of mold here...
(Is the white stuff mold?)
- Really? - We should ask Mr. Park before we proceed.
- Mr. Park, it looks like ginger but... - No, it is..
Maybe it's sugar?
It's molded, you shouldn't eat....
- It's ginger. - I thought so.
Should we cut this part out sir?
- What's so bad about it? - Are you sure?
(His wife'd be watching...)
- Hey, film it. - Mr. Park's daughter-in-law probably didn't see it.
We are putting it on air.
Ms. Kim seems nervous all of sudden.
And here, we have...
Sesame leaves!
- You like this? - It's good.
Yes, I do.
Do we have permission to taste it?
Go ahead.
I will share with our chefs.
Let me step down for a second.
We will be honest about the taste, is that okay?
It's really good.
Because I can now make fun of her about the taste of her food
with the chefs' comments.
Oh, that's what he meant by good? Haha.
"Good" wasn't for the taste of the food.
It meant that he can now officially make fun of his wife.
Let's taste the anchovies.
It's really good.
It's a bit spicy.
My wife likes spicy food.
But I don't like spicy food.
He started to complain.
He's complaining here about what he couldn't say at home.
That he doesn't like spicy food.
So you've never complained about it at home?
I can't.
What if she stops cooking for me?
But Mr. Park is known for loving his wife the most.
I heard you still call your wife very often during work.
I tried to cut down a little bit.
Cut down to..?
6~7 calls maybe?
You cut down and still that many?
What about before you cut down?
- About 20. - Really?
It's good to call often.
Is that so?
- It's good for health for both. - Good for mental health.
How many times do you call your wife, Chef Choi?
Once in a while....
Once in a while..
Chef Choi doesn't call his wife to protect his mental health.
Because calling his wife would cause a mental problem?
Don't make me make a scene in front of Mr. Park.
(Laughing.)
- What about you, Sam Kim? - 4~5 times.
4~5!
Wow, you call your wives that often?
I never call my wife.
You shouldn't be proud of that!
Chef Lee was scolded!
Chef Lee was scolded for the first time!
Finally someone to scold Chef Lee!
Nobody has ever lectured Chef Lee before.
He deserved it though.
Let's move on.
- This time.. - I am getting nervous.
I found a bottle of soju in between the sauce bottles.
This is... hold on.
It must be for cooking.
Because I don't drink.
Were you always like that?
No, I loved drinking when I was young.
But from one point, I stopped drinking and smoking.
When you were young, you were good?
I could have a bottle of whiskey by myself.
In the past after I drank,
I have pressed the bell of someone else's house thinking that it was mine.
I almost got bitten up with a bat.
- By the owner of the house? - Yes.
Twice. I went to the same house twice.
(Drunken adventures of good old days.)
Are these capers?
Only the half is left.
He ate it a lot.
And this one... is this Kimchi?
- What is this? - It's ground tomatoes.
My wife always boils tomatoes and grind them.
She gives me a bowl of that when I wake up.
It's so hard to eat breakfast after drinking that.
Because it makes you full?
He's complaining a lot.
- She's been making that every morning for past 20 years. - 20 years?
20 years...
Tomatoes become richer in vitamins when cooked with heat.
Ms. Kim, do you cook anything for your husband every morning?
- No. - I see.
She said no.
- I.. - But I am a working mom.
I leave early in the morning or I am not at home most of the time.
Whenever I cook for him on my day off.. like when I get days off..
He doesn't eat my food.
What? Why?
He feels uncomfortable..
It's because your husband is not trained yet.
You have to eat everything your wife cooks for you when you get old.
You have to eat them all.
- What if you miss it? - No, it's your duty.
Duty?
You should thank for what she has done and show her by eating them all.
If you don't, then that makes you a bad person.
You are a bad person.
So he eats everything his wife makes for him.
You like watermelon?
Yes, I eat a half of it a day.
- Mr. Park likes watermelons. - She sliced it and...
Do you like apples too?
My wife makes me eat apples every morning.
- Every morning. - For my health.
Have you ever regretted about getting married?
- Multiple times! - Really?
But she's doing all these for you.
It's not about the food, it's about freedom.. when I can't do things I like.
For example, when I used to drink a lot..
I was scolded when I came back home late...
Or when I asked for honey milk and got scolded...
But everything sounds like your fault, not your wife's fault.
You're right.
It's understandable though.
But neither of us has run away from the house after the fight though.
And we always sleep together after a fight.
- In the same room? - Of course.
It's very important. We need to listen to him.
The next morning, everything goes back to peacefulness.
Have you ever slept in a different room after a fight with your husband?
- Like, "Don't come in tonight." - No.
I ask him to leave the room.
It's always the wives who say that.
Like Mr. Park mentioned,
after some time, if you put your leg on his pretending that you didn't know...
That will put an end and that's how all fights between couples are like.
Right, that will put an end.
The lesson from Mr.Park is not to sleep in a different room after a fight.
Advice to the younger generations.
There are lots of vegetables.
Cabbages, zucchinis,
eggplants, cucumbers...
And some left over paprika.
My grandchildren like Vietnamese spring rolls.
So we eat lots of vegetables.
Let's move on to the freezer now!
We see lots of frozen meats here.
Meats that are air-tight sealed.
My youngest son likes the tenderloins so we eat them when he comes to visit.
I like the sirloins so we eat them together.
Mr. Park likes sirloins.
These are.. pork.
- That's what I like. - Mr. Park likes pork also.
Here are some shrimps..
These are chicken..
These are chicken legs and
these are wings.
These are shrimps.
It is for my third grandchild.
He knows who likes what.
Let's look at ingredients outside the fridge now.
We have a bucket of tomatoes here.
Tuna cans, ham cans..
Are these...
Those are the food I like to eat when I go fishing.
- You like fishing? - I love it, I spent all my life here.
First, I chop potatoes, onions, and carrots.
I mix it with ham and spicy pepper paste
to make a soup.
It's very delicious.
He knows fishing.
We just looked into Mr. Park's fridge!
(His fridge is filled with family love.)
What would have Mr. Park asked for?
These are what Mr. Park has asked our chefs to make!
Mr. Park has asked...
"Food that I can make for my grandchildren"
and "Mr. Park's food challenge for fishing!"
I usually make Vietnamese spring rolls for my grandchildren at home.
I was wondering what other things I could make for them.
Something that they will like more.
I think I am lacking that..
Grandfather's food..!
Mr. Park wants to try cooking for his grandchildren.
Next is, "Mr. Park's food challenge for fishing!"
When I go fishing, I am under the sun most of the times.
I want something that can make me energetic in that situation.
Alright, let me introduce the chefs who will be competing today.
First, #1 is Chef Sam Kim with 24 stars.
Go Sam!
#2 is Chef Choi Hyun-suk with 22 stars.
#3 is Kim Poong with 16 stars.
Poong will be competing for Mr. Park's request.
And we have Chef Jung Ho-young with 7 stars.
Sam Kim, Choi Hyung-suk, Kim Poong, and Jung Ho-young.
Since I have a son, I will go for "Food that I can make for my grandchildren."
Sam went for "Food that I can make for my grandchildren."
Because I have fisherman's blood...
I want to introduce food I eat when I go fishing to Mr. Park.
Chef Choi went for food for fishing.
I don't enjoy going fishing but I do go sometimes.
And I was always in charge of cooking.
Everyone like my food so I want to try again today.
- Good. - There are many kinds of fishing.
One-needled, double-needled, triple needled...
But there is always someone who doesn't know any of these
and just do whatever he wants to do.
That person doesn't even put the ground bait on.
I can't believe that "someone" just challenged me for fishing food competition.
Oh, that "someone."
But the whole purpose of fishing is to catch a fish, right?
Yes, you just have to catch a fish.
Kim Poong went for fishing food.
That puts Chef Jung to compete for
Maybe we will have a record breaking today.
He came to cook, not to fish!
Please be healthy, Mr. Park.
It's a big one!
Wait, isn't that illegal? That's a foul!
You, take care of that!
It is very sad.
Mr. Park said it's sad!
Let us begin the competition for the "Food that I can make for my grandchildren."
It's been a while since these two dancer chefs competed against each other.
It seems like Chef Jung has been winning the dance competitions,
but Chef Sam has won the food competition both times they competed.
He took all the stars.
Sam Kim's on a winning streak! 5 times in a row!
At the same time,
he has won as many stars as Chef Lee did.
Judging by the number of stars only, its 24 verses 7.
Don't you think you can easily win this competition?
No, not at all.
It's hard to win even once against any of the chefs here.
But you've won 5 times in a row. How hard would that be?
Oh, that's what he meant.
He's bragging.
Well, I am on a losing streak, 3 times in a row.
- Oh, you are? - I'm going to empty my mind..
(Chef Jeong's choice: apple, tomato, mini paprika, potato,
steamed bean sprouts, short loin, pine nuts, burdock.)
(Chef Kim's choice: drumstick, capers, mini paprika, potato, eggplant, shrimps.)
The food I am making today is...
"Grandfather Gentle Rolls."
- "Grandfather Gentle Plate?" - "Rolls."
I have a feeling that you're going to do something else.
"Grandfather Gentle Rolls~"
(Laughing.)
(His dance would put even a dancing king to shame.)
(The old dancing machine is intimidated.)
- He's a dancer. - Forget it.
It's a roll steak.
Roll steak?
I'm going to make the sirloins flat and thin,
and roll with apples, tomatoes, and paprika.
And I will prepare fried potatoes on the side since younger generations like those.
The food I am making today is "Grandpa's the best."
"Grandpa's the best!"
Is it going to be a chicken dish?
I am going to use shrimps and chicken.
I found this caper.
So I am going to make a sauce with caper and lemons.
I will prepare something that everyone can enjoy.
Let us begin the match between Chef Jung and Chef Sam.
A chef who has conquered all the popular dances,
who will be familiar with younger generation's taste.
Chef Jung Ho-young verses,
Chef Sam Kim, who always tries to make the best food for his son.
I wonder who will attract Mr. Park's grandchildren's taste!
The 15 minute match begins now!!
A dish that a grandfather can make for his grandchildren!
The recipes have to be easy since Mr. Park has to make them himself later.
Chef Jung just put a tomato in water with nothing else.
He made a cut with a knife to peel the outer skin.
(Slicing the apple thinly.)
Chef Jung is using lots of vegetables.
They are so even!
Chef Jung is peeling a potato.
I guess he's putting in potatoes.
Chef Jung is slicing a potato. They are very very thin.
Maybe he's making potato chips?
Are you making potato chips?
No, I am going to cut them to thin pieces again.
You are using sirloins with them, right?
He's slicing the potato very thinly and he's using sirloins.
Why is nobody laughing? It was supposed to be funny.
Here is Chef Jung cutting the sliced potatoes again.
He's making them really thin.
He's cutting them even before tomatoes are cooked.
(Laughing by himself.)
Oh my gosh.
- Wasn't that funny? - I am going to pretend I didn't hear.
He's pretending he didn't hear.
I am going to pretend I didn't hear either.
Thank me for reacting to your humor.
Their humors are so old!
He's cutting potatoes into very thin pieces.
Chef Sam is preparing chicken.
Oh, he's taking out the bones.
He's taking out the bones from the chicken.
It's for Mr. Park's grandchildren to eat easily.
It's usually hard for non-chefs to prepare chickens though.
You just have to find bones and tear them apart using kitchen towels.
Okay, tear them apart using paper towels...
He's using the bones to make broth.
(Make broth by boiling the bones in water.)
(Cook chicken legs on a pan with oil and season with salt and pepper.)
Sam Kim is also using potatoes.
He's not peeing the outer skin and putting them on the pan.
- You're frying them? - Yes.
He's using easy methods. Nothing looks hard to follow.
(Take out the blanched tomato.)
He's finally peeling the tomato.
He's only using the inside, I see.
He's taking out the seeds of the tomato now.
He's only using the thin skin part.
Finally, Chef Jung took out the sirloins.
That's the part of beef Mr. Park likes.
He's making it even thinner! How can he do that?
Thinner!
He cut a thin slice into 2 thinner pieces!
Unbelievable!
That's called a butterfly cut.
Butterfly?
Because when you open it, it looks like a butterfly. Like sirloins...
And chicken.
He's mincing the meat.
To make it more soft. It's the process of cutting the tendons.
He's putting something inside to roll!!
Bean sprouts and apples.
I see how it is a "gentle roll" now.
(Melt butter on a pan and cook the short loin, pouring melted butter from time to time.)
He's buttering the rolls right now.
He's pouring the melted butter on the meat rolls!
(Chef Kim is also using the butter to make the sauce.)
He's stir-frying the butter with flour.
And he poured the mixture into a bowl.
(Make lemon zest and put it in a bowl.)
(In the other bowl, make caper sauce with lemon juice and caper juice.)
He's making the caper sauce right now.
(Mince caper, onion, and garlic.)
He's putting in a lot of garlic.
(Skin the shrimp and cook them in a pan with oil.)
Shrimps with garlic!
(Add minced garlic, salt, pepper, onions, caper, chicken broth, caper sauce, roux,
butter, and lemon zest in that order to the shrimp and cook them all together.)
There's less than 7 minutes left now.
Is that a burdock?
Yes, they are burdocks!
Look at his knife technique!
It's like he's sharpening a pencil.
He's spinning the burdock and.. Wow.
In Japanese, it's called "Sasagaki."
This is how I usually slice burdocks.
He's using the sliced burdocks.
He poured in the starch.
He's mixing the sliced potatoes with sliced burdocks.
Is he going to fry it?
It's gonna be so delicious!
He put the mixture in between two sieves.
When he takes it out, it's going to look like a bowl.
Potatoes are sticky so I'm afraid that it might stick to the sieves.
But luckily, the sieves are made out of "Sudang."
Oh, I should have said "stainless."
I haven't heard that word for a while!
That's how our generation call it.
Some people here understood that word.
Mi-suk, who's the same age as Chef Lee, laughed so hard.
I bet she uses that word at home too!
I don't!
She's denying! She's like "No, I don't!"
We have about 5 minutes left!
I will send Mr. Ahn over to the cooking station now.
Please go to the cooking station!
This is unbelievable!
- What is? - It's going to look like a bowl!
Oh, like a bowl?
He turned it over!
It's made out of that potato that he was working on.
It's potato?
It does look like a bowl.
It's well cooked!
It looks like what Mr. Park's grandchildren would love!
Chicken tastes so good with shrimps.
Just taste the sauce for us.
What do you think his grandchildren would say?
What would they say?
"My grandpa is the best!"
Oh, it's kind of sour but it's good!
- Oh, really? - Yes.
Now, the potatoes...he started his plating.
This looks really beautiful.
The kids will love it.
Kids like colorful food.
About 1 minute and 10 seconds left.
- Not much time left. - You need to wrap it up.
(13. Mix red wine, soy sauce, sugar and cooking wine to make the sauce.)
- Now, he's adding soy sauce. - Yes, the sauce.
It smells amazing.
(15. Get rid of the top part of the blanched tomato. Slice it.)
Wow, this.
Both chefs started plating.
Oh, the steak! The steak!
- Yes, this is the important part. - Right.
The steak is important. There're vegetables inside.
Outside looks a bit burnt. We need to see the inside.
- Oh! It's a bit... - Yes. He's slicing them.
It's like a roll!
- It's pretty. - Yes.
It's well cooked. Wow, his grandchildren would absolutely love this.
They'd give lots of hugs and kisses.
- Yes, yes. 'Grandpa, you're the best!' - The best!
- Oh, the time. - He's going to throw away the end parts.
- He's not going to use them. - It's very pretty.
- It's very pretty. - Okay, Chef Sam's hands are moving faster now.
- 'Grandfather Gentle Roll!' - Wait, Chef Sam finished first!
- He's done. - Chef Sam's done.
- What? Chef Sam got done first? - 15 seconds left.
Can't believe it.
- Chef Sam got done first. - He's usually slow.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six!
- Complete! - Chef Jeong is done, too.
Chef Jeong got done. 6 seconds were left. Both chefs finished.
Amazing.
(Ensemble of shrimp and chicken with lemon butter sauce)
(Chef Sam's 'Grandpa’s the Best!')
There're shrimps at the front. Please try them with the vegetables first.
Okay, he's trying the shrimp first.
The shrimp first..
What is this aroma?
It's caper.
- Oh, I see. - With lemon peels.
Each ingredient has retained its distinct smell.
- I see. - Also...
- the soft texture of the shrimps.. - Oh.
- It's excellent. - I see.
Now, the chicken. Its main ingredient.
He said he doesn't like tough meat.
Now, he's trying the chicken...very careful and thoughtful.
- (Nervous) - I wonder...
- Oh...this is really good. - Oh, really?
I think this is my first time enjoying chicken dish this much.
Oh, is that so?
- Is this what you were looking for? - Yes.
- I love this. - You like it in this style.
But my wife just can't make it like this...
(An adorable president who's complaining about food)
Oh, my.
Wow, I'm serious.
This is so good. It'd be problematic if kids start nagging and ask for more of this.
You think your grandchildren will like it?
- They like...slightly oily food. - Yes.
It looks like we're watching a drama. We're seeing a president of a company
enjoying his lunch.
This is quite good.
- This is quite good. - (Your satisfaction is our happiness)
- It's excellent. - Wow.
- (Thank you, sir.) - This is quite good...the best compliment he can give.
Will Chef Sam win again?
(Potatoe and Burdock Roll Steak)
(Chef Jeong's 'Grandfather Gentle Roll')
Let me just erase the taste of the previous food.
- Yes, yes. To evaluate each dish more accurately. - With the tomato.
Alright. The Gentle Roll.
He said he personally likes this type of steak.
There're vegetables inside.
The vegetables are very fresh.
Oh, I see.
(He suddenly bursts out laughing)
(He's so happy like a little kid)
- (How does it taste like? ) - He likes it very much.
Sometimes, the steak can be really tough.
- And sometimes, they're too flabby. - Right.
But this one's very chewy.
On top of that, this one has nuts even. It tastes excellent.
I think kids would love this.
You know, kids don't really like paprika.
- Right. - But together like this, I think kids would eat them without even knowing.
If the recipe isn't too hard,
I think it'd be wonderful if I can make this for them everyday.
Potato isn't really important so you can eat it without the potato.
- Then it's not for eating - You can break them off and eat them...
I thought kids would enjoy it.
- How is the potato? - It's so much better than the potato fries.
- Yes. - Much better!
I see.
He says that it has this sweet taste.
- It's.. - It's the apple!
- The apple! - Right.
I see. Because it had lots of apples...
- I sliced the apples and put them in. - I see.
- It's very sweet. - Oh, the apple.
It's simply amazing.
You know, you have to choose one dish.
Oh, that would be very hard.
They're both really good and I really like both of them.
It's so good I feel like I'm gonna cry.
He is deeply touched the the two chef's dishes.
While you think about it, we'll try the dishes, too.
First, we'll try Chef Sam's dish.
'Grandpa's the best!'
With the eggplant...
(Together with the vegetables and chicken)
It's really good.
Wow this.. eating the chicken with potato in a dim sum style...it's fantastic!
- The egg plant... - (He's trying to remember the recipe)
The eggplant is very fresh.
When I first saw this, I wanted a can of beer.
- He's very honest. - It's so hot these days.
I think this would be perfect snack when you're drinking.
I hope the kids don't think about beer when they eat this food, though.
'Grandpa! Want some beer?' If they say this, it'd be bad.
They're not 20 yet.
I think adults would love this sauce.
It's sweet and sour...and it has this aroma to it.
- I do wonder though if the kids will like it. - Yes.
But still, it's very soft.
- It was delicious. - Delicious. I see.
This time, we'll try 'Grandfather Gentle Roll'.
Chef Jeong's 'Grandfather Gentle Roll'.
- Oh, the potato. - It's very crispy.
- (Nodding) - (Very good)
Wow.
- This is perfect for kids. - The sauce, yes.
The potato is really amazing.
Wow, I immediately thought of kids when I tasted this.
It'll be very hard to choose.
If the kids were here, they'd have been so excited.
'Grandpa, give me more!'
Excuse me, Chef Lee.
Our lady is trying to enjoy the meal. Please be quiet.
- I think you’re a bit too loud. - I'm very sorry, ma'am.
First of all, the crispiness of bean sprouts are amazing. They're so fresh.
Oh, the bean sprouts.
They're so fresh. And the meat doesn't smell at all.
It's sweet. I think kids will really like this.
I see.
The potatoes were very impressive. They were so crispy.
- Right, right. - Kids would fall in love.
It's a perfect harmony.
Fried potatoes, soft meat,
and fresh vegetables.
- Good enough to serve it to the VIP guests? - Of course. More than just enough.
I see.
Chef Sam, how did you like Chef Jeong's dish?
First of all, I think kids will like it. It's sweet and has soft beef.
- It was delicious. - Oh, really?
How about you, Chef Jeong?
I think he cooked the chicken very well. And the sauce went really well with it.
I thought it was really good.
If there's one shortcoming?
I'm not sure if kids will like it...
- (Is he trying to diss Chef Sam?) - If kids will like it, huh?
He's not sure if kids will like it...
Wow, that was great. Very precise and honest evaluation.
Sweet food can be bad for children's health.
Right. Wonder if the parents will like it, huh?
It's time to choose.
Right. I have 5 grandchildren. They are 17, 11
9, 5 and 2 years old.
- Oh, a various range, huh? - Yes.
I think the chicken would be good for some of them.
I think the Gentle Roll would be good for my younger ones.
- Very hard. - I really can't decide.
- Right, right. - So I think I'm just gonna go home.
- No, no. You can't do that. - (President is refusing to vote)
You must choose.
Right now, some of our audience have called and voted on who will win.
If they get it right, we'll do a lottery and we send him or her a gift.
So please remember that.
Well, tell them that they're not going to get a gift today.
(President who is very humorous)
Number 1 is Chef Jeong Ho-young.
Number 2 is Chef Sam Kim.
Please press the button.
- The elder's love for the young! - He pressed it.
- He shouted, 'the elder's love for the young' - (What does that mean?)
A battle for a grandfather who loves his grandchildren very much.
Will Chef Sam get his sixth consecutive victory?
Or Chef Jeong, who's trying to escape the jinx of 3 consecutive losses.
Who won this cooking battle? Please show us!
Who did Mr. Park choose?
Chef Jeong Ho-young!
- ('Grandfather Gentle Roll' - Winner)
- Chef Jeong won! - He finally escaped!
- Wow, he's off that now. Excellent. - (Deeply touched)
Maybe because I'm old, I have special love for my younger grandchildren.
I see. That's why you said that.
As a loving grandfather.
I danced and won...it's been a while.
I'm overjoyed.
I was joking when I said that kids won't like Chef Sam's dish.
I apologize to Chef Sam.
(The victor's ceremony!)
(His hip bouncing looks much lighter)
- (Dancing Machine As Always) - Gentle Roll!
Grandfather Gentle Roll!
Yeah! Yeah!
- Congratulations! - Congratulations!
Here is your star badge, Chef Jeong!
This is eighth victory.
- Congratulations! - ('Grandfather Gentle Roll' - Winner)

(Chef Jeong's 'Grandfather Gentle Roll' Full Recipe)
Now, we'll move forward to our 'Mr. Park's Fishing Trip Food Cooking Battle.
It will be Kim Poong against Chef Choi Hyun-seok.
Umm..what are you guys doing over there?
What are you guys doing over there? Oh, did you catch something?
Did Chef Choi catch something! I think it's a big fish.
Oh, it's fishing ground here.
- Oh! - Oh, it caught the bait!
It caught the bait!
- It's here! - (Let's catch Chef Choi Hyun-seok)
(But then!)
(An angry fish attacks)
They're born rivals. But if you look at the score...
It's 5:0. Chef Choi is winning by far.
He never let Poong take the victory.
- Five to zero. - Yes.
I just cooked for my guests,
but somehow, I found myself standing above Kim Poong.
You know, I really don't like Chef Choi as a person.
But I respect him as a chef.
He's always very serious in cooking battles, doesn't matter who he's against.
- Oh... - Even in battles against me.
- Always, very serious. - Oh, really?
When he's in a battle against me, he's very focused and alert.
- Did you really feel that way? - He's a real chef, for sure.
(Km Poong's Ingredient Choice: pork, baby pumpkin, tomato, curry powder,
seaweed, dry shrimps)
(Chef Choi's Ingredients: pork, radish, baby pumpkin, salted-fermented shrimp,
canned ham, beef tenderloin, abalone, tofu, canned tuna,dry shrimps..etc.
Today, I'm going to make 'Fishing-stew'.
'Fishing-stew', I see.
It will be very inconvenient to take lots of cooking tools to a fishing ground.
I'm only going to use this vinyl bag...
Yes.
and this pot to finish my cooking today.
- Oh, it's very simple. - Right.
The main ingredients are tomatoes, hot pepper paste and seaweed.
That's it?
There's this dish called Shakshuka.
Shakshuka? Which country is it from?
Which country?
You can search that online.
Shakshuka is Israeli food.
- Oh, is it? Okay. - Yes.
It's also known as 'Egg In Hell'.
It's a breakfast dish with eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoes.
So I'm going to create a variation of that dish. A much simpler version.
So it's like a stew with mixed ingredients.
Today, I'm going to make...
'Heat it
and Fish it'.
Oh, you heat it?
Oh, so it's like hot soup.
You can just use the ingredients from the fridge,
throw them into a pot and boil it.
- (No, no.) - But I'm going to plate it well, like a beautiful hot pot.
I'll make a high quality stew dish that our president can
enjoy even at the fishing ground.
A hot pot at the fishing ground, wow.
Okay, we'll get started with out battle now.
Maybe, today will be a big turning point for our show.
It's Kim Poong, who always manages to stand back up like a roly-poly toy.
Against Chef Choi Hyun-seok, who is like a grand fortress.
Will this battle be able to change the history of our show?
We'll start the cooking battle now!
It's fishing trip food battle!
Food you can make at the fishing ground.
- Both of they will make some type of stew. - Right.
Poong is preparing the tomatoes first.
(1. Slice the tomatoes)
- (Put the tomatoes in the vinyl bag.) - Poong is putting them in right now.
- The tomatoes. - Yes, the tomatoes.
- Okay, he's putting them in a plastic bag. - Now, add hot pepper paste.
Okay, he's putting the hot pepper paste in.
- Then, the curry powder. - The curry powder.
Close it and just rub it down.
Rub it.
So they they're mixed thoroughly. Crush it.
You're not making the bait for fish, right?
(Bait)
I think it'll be food for our health.
They're all healthy ingredients.
- Maybe, this is better for fishing trip. - Right.
Will Poong now move to a different program that's about fishing?
If you win today, you might be able to go on a fishing show or something.
Chef Choi doesn't look shaken at all.
(1. Boil fermented shrimp, dry shrimp and anchovy)
(2. Add radish to number 1 to make broth)
(3. Slice the baby pumpkin.)
(Time to prepare pork!)
(4. Season the pork with salt and pepper.)
(Now, the beef tenderloin)
(5. Add aronia juice, pepper, sugar and sesame oil.)
Chef Choi's dish indeed looks like a hot pot.
- He's arranging all these different ingredients in the pot. - Yes.
- And he's gonna boil it. - Right.
- But I have to admit that Poong's dish looks much simpler. - Yes.
- I'd choose to do the simple one. - Yes, at the fishing ground, it's much easier.
It's a fishing ground. Not a cooking ground, gosh.
I know. Maybe this fishing ground is in Euijung.
Looks like he's making a sausage stew or something.
I think there will be more cooking tools than fishing tools.
I know. So he might lose some points there because this is for fishing trip.
(3. Slice the white part of the green onion. Put it on an oiled pan.)
He's working on the meat. What meat is that?
- It's pork. - Pork.
Which part is it?
- Who are you asking? - I can't tell.
His wife is not here. So we don't know.
Well, it's pork. It's gotta be delicious.
(It's Boston butt part)
Yeah, just some oil, pork, and green onions.
Put them together like this.
It's very easy.
- And now the soy sauce. - The soy sauce.
- Just stir it like this. - You're just eyeballing it.
Yes, just go with your feel.
(Chef Choi is chopping onions)
(Puts canned tuna and chopped onions in a hand blender)
(Grind it!)
(8. Put the mixture on a plate.)
(9. Add egg white, flour and beaten raw egg to make a dough)
He's like making pancakes, too.
If you think you rubbed it enough,
add this to the pot.
Okay, he's just pouring it in.
- Is this really okay? - It's fine.
- The bag is all watery. - It's the concentrate!
Right, right.
But our lady has a frown on her face.
She's probably thinking, 'do I have to eat that'?
You know, she's a very graceful lady. Seriously.
I have some shrimps, too. Should I put them in?
- Do you like shrimps? - Yes, I do.
Okay, he wants the shrimps.
- You don't have to add shrimps but since he says he likes them. - Okay.
(Chef Choi preparing abalones)
(11. Slice the abalones, put them in the pot.)
It's fishing ground but you're eating abalones from the salty ocean water.
Chef Choi's dish looks very high-end.
- This looks like palace food. - Yes, yes.
You don't have to eat bad tasting food just for convenience.
But my dish is actually very delicious.
That's the important fact.
What do you think, Mr. Park?
Which chef would you want to take to the fishing ground with you?
Well, it has to be delicious. I can't decide until I taste the food.
- Alright. It's hard to choose now. - Yes.
(9. Microwave the instant rice.)
Oh, you're adding water. Was it a bit salty?
No, I just wanted to make it more stew-like.
Oh, I see.
You have to crumble the seaweed.
Alright...just with your hands like that?
Our lady is frowning again...
He should've worn gloves.
She's thinking, 'do I have to eat that?'
Well, touching the food is important, alright.
Okay, okay.
(10. Add crumbled seaweed.)
(11. Slice the baby pumpkin.)
(Putting the starch in a bowl)
You have to put your heart into cooking. So you need to do the devout prayer.
- What are you doing? - Mr. Park, I want you to be healthy and well.
- Hmm. I think he's just trying to win his favor. - No, no.
I don't care about twinning. I don't need the star badge. I just want him to like it.
I found some marinated beef patties in your fridge. Put some starch on them,
and then you blanch it just a bit.
4 minutes and 38 seconds left!
It's stew vs. hot pot.
I wonder how this stew with mixed ingredients will taste. I'll taste the broth.
How is it? Will a fisherman like it?
- Wow, this is awesome! - Is it really?
(Poong's magic starts again)
- Cooking isn't hard. - It actually tastes really good.
It's really delicious.
It's been a while...your dish usually doesn’t have this kind of deep savory taste.
He added eggs, too.
Oh, like that.
(13. Put the instant rice in a bowl.)
(Chef Choi is getting water out of cabbage)
(13. Slice the blanched cabbage.)
(14. Add the cooked beef patties.)
And Chef Choi, his dish looks very luxurious.
But the broth looks a bit too plain.
- Try some. - Okay, he's adding the broth.
It just looks like water.
Okay, I'll try it.
- He said he cares about his health. - Right, his health.
How is it?
You think it's healthy?
It's healthy. That's all.
- Oh, no. - (He's checking it himself)
- I think it needs more seasoning. - No, no.
- No, I personally like salty food. - (He says no but he's adding...)
- I'm just thinking about Mr. Park's health condition. - (but he's adding pepper)
(Poong sits down again)
(So relaxed)
(17. Add tuna pancakes and pepper to finish it up.)
The rice is done, too. Oh! Chef Choi is done!
- Oh! Chef Choi is done! - Done!
Chef Choi got done first.
Mr. Park will have to try his dish first.
And because it's like a soup, you have to eat it before it cools.
Wait, that's illegal! I mean that's cheating! The burner.
He can't do that! Then I'd have done it like that, too.
Our theme today is fishing ground.
You can use this kind of one-time burner.
- Yes. - If you're so desperate to win,
I won't use the burner.
But you'll be held responsible if Mr. Park can't fully enjoy his meal.
Alright.
Very good defense.
To be fair, while he's trying that dish, you can put your dish on the burner as well.
- Good solution. - Right?
Okay, wrap it up. Poong pressed it, too.
- He doesn't even bother to do the plating. - He can just eat straight from this.
- Okay, with the rice. - (Very troublesome cooking battle finally ended)
Oh, I forgot to put tofu in.
What? What?
- I forgot about tofu. - Oh, no!
How can you forget about tofu when you cared so much about his health?
I've never seen a hot pot without tofu.
- Without tofu, it won't be hot pot. - I know.
It's still delicious without the tofu.
(Luxurious hot pot dish you can enjoy at a fishing ground)
(Chef Choi's 'Heat it and Fish it')
It's missing tofu.
- How should I serve it? - I'll do it.
Oh, Chef Choi will do it himself.
Of course, of course.
I'm glad I took some time to cook it. Now I can serve it for you.
Okay, Chef Choi will do the serving himself.
His hand flexion crease probably all disappeared by now.
(He's serving with his hands that are missing the flexion crease)
Okay, he'll try now. The hot pot dish!
First of all, the broth...It's from all these various ingredients.
It's really the best.
So you like it, huh.
Don't you think it needs more seasoning?
No, it's really fine as it is.
I think it became more salty as it kept boiling.
Now, with the cabbage.
And the mushroom.
The bok choy.
It's very well cooked.
And now the meat.
I think the meat I had was not a very good quality.
No, Chef Choi might have cooked it in a wrong way.
Maybe it was soft originally, but he made it all tough.
I'll try the pancake.
I made it with canned tuna.
- Oh, you made it. - Right.
If you have any leftover pancakes from the holiday,
you can just add them when you're eating hot pot.
- It's excellent. - Alright.
Was it okay without tofu? Didn't you wish that there was tofu?
Oh.
It's a hot pot without tofu.
Yes, yes.
It's missing the most important part.
It's like the customer ordered a steak,
but the chef didn't actually cook the meat.
Oh, its' that serious? So it's like he just served raw meat?
Should we get you some tofu?
Oh, should I?
(Tofu will be excluded from the evaluation)
Just blanch it a bit.
We're trying to see if tofu will make a big difference.
- You need tofu. - Alright.
(With tofu and bok choy)
- It needs tofu, right? - Yes, yes, yes.
(Just scold me, sir)
- It needed tofu! - (Poong looks confident)
How unfortunate!
(Joy / Despair)
(Very simple stew-style dish perfect for a fishing trip)
(Kim Poong's 'Fishing-stew')
The eggs look very well-cooked.
- Okay, try them with some rice. - Right.
It looks a bit salty.
She's worried already. She is frowning.
She is worried, it looks too salty.
I'll taste it and see.
- Not at all. - Not at all.
- It's the right amount of seasoning. - Alright.
- Now, with pumpkin. - (Too hot)
- (Worried) - It's hot. Be careful.
Eat slowly, sir.
I've never tasted anything like this at a fishing ground.
It's very very good.
The tomatoes, the seaweed, and the rice.
This is really good.
I think this might become really popular.
Alright. He's never tasted anything like that before at a fishing ground.
He caught a big fish?
I think Chef Choi's dish would be more appropriate when you have a larger group.
So that everyone can share maybe with some beer.
This is for two crazy fishermen who's crazy about fishing. So that they can eat fast,
and keep fishing.
For serious fishermen, I think Poong's dish will be very popular.
Alright. Everyone will try now.
First, we'll try Chef Choi's 'Heat it and Fish it'.
(Chef Han Sang-hoon is trying, too)
It's very good.
It's so good. Why would you eat this at a fishing ground?
Maybe it's too good to eat at a fishing ground.
And I wonder if you can make this kind of complicated food at a fishing ground.
Yes, you'll be too busy and it'll be too hot.
It needs some tofu, right?
It's a must. Yes, it needs tofu.
It's a very honest evaluation from a housewife.
The broth was very savory. I love how all the ingredients were so crispy and fresh.
There was a variety of ingredients...ham, meat, etc.
But I think it really needs tofu.
(Lost twice because of tofu)
When I tried it, I thought Chef Choi should stop making Italian food.
- Oh. - He should start making Korean cuisine.
Out of all the dished Chef Choi made, I think this is the best one.
Oh, personally.
Doesn't matter what my major cuisine is.
I really wanted to make the best tasting dish,
out of all the dishes I made on this show.
- With respect. - I don't need the badge.
There he goes again.
Then just don't give him the star badge.
Okay, we'll try Kim Poong's dish now.
- I thought it was going to be too salty and spicy, but it's not. - I know. It's not.
Tomato balances it out.
She looks very worried.
(Nervous)
- I've never tasted anything like this before. - I see.
I'm not sure what it tastes like.
It doesn't taste like anything.
For our graceful lady,
the aesthetic part...it was too shocking.
When I saw him making it, I thought he put too much pepper paste.
So I thought it was going to be too spicy but...
seaweed and curry balanced it out. It's a new creation.
I think he just opened a door to another category of food.
Oh, so you must've liked it.
- Yes. - But if it looks like this when you're serving at the Blue House...
- You'll get scolded. - (Poong should stay away from the Blue House)
Right?
It's time to choose now.
Oh, he's reaching for the remote right away.
In the previous battle, he was having a dilemma.
He said it was too hard to choose. So he just wanted to leave.
But now, he's all ready.
Number 1 is Kim Poong's dish. Number 2 is Chef Choi's dish.
- Let's go fishing! - Let's go!
Let's go fishing! He pressed the button.
Mr. Park's fishing trip cooking battle. Which dish did he choose?
Will Chef Choi get his sixth victory against Kim Poong?
Or will Kim Poong, for the first time ever, win against Chef Choi?
Let's find out who won.
Show us the result!
Let's find out who won.
Show us the result!
Kim Poong!
('Fishing-stew' - Winner)
(Unbelievable!)
- Kim Poong won! - (His first victory against Chef Choi after 5 losses)
Kim Poong defeated Chef Choi.
I can't believe this! Kim Poong won against Chef Choi.
In his 6th attempt. He finally won.
You thought Poong's dish was more appropriate for a fishing trip?
Yes, that's it. After you spend all day under the scorching sun fishing,
when the sun sets, it'd be great to eat this dish.
It'll be so refreshing
like cold water in the creek.
Finally, in his 6th battle against Chef Choi. Poong finally won.
- I actually tried Chef Choi's dish. - Oh, you did?
I think this was the best stew-style dish Chef Choi has made so far.
But you won against that.
I really didn't think I was going to either.
- Honestly, it was really the best one. - Right.
So I guess it's important to stick to the theme.
That is the motive and the mission of this show, I think.
- But I think this can be a very good opportunity for me as well. - Why?
More than any chef in this world,
I know the importance of tofu.
This is 17th victory overall. Congratulations!
A new history!
Alright.
(Kim Poong's 'Fishing-stew' - Winner)
(1. Slice the white part of green onion and pork.
Stir-fry with garlic, pepper powder and soy sauce)
(2. Put the tomatoes in a plastic bag. Mix with pepper paste and curry powder.)
(3. Add dry shrimps, water, seaweed and sliced pumpkins. Boil them.)
(4. Add eggs.)
(5. Kim Poong's 'Fishing-stew' Full Recipe)
Kim Mi-sook, she's like the queen of the actress world.
I'm sure her fridge will look amazing.
- Of course. She's always so neat and clean. - This is bad.
- We'll take a look! - Wow!
Looks like a market in here.
Wow, this...she has this. And again. Instant ingredients.
They're so good, though.
If you use this at the Blue House,
You might just disappear one day.
(The graceful queen's very surprising fridge)
This is a big match! It's the Blue House chef against the Ambassador House chef.
He represents our entire show.
Look at that.
You'll regret the fact that you battled against me.
It's like a crown.
- To represent the Blue House. - for the royalty.
It's the president's chef against the ambassador's chef. Who will be the winner?
- What am I gonna do? - (I can't choose)
