Today's fridge owners are Lim Chang-jung and On Ju-wan.
My new album is a big hit these days.
I knew it was gonna happen.
Songs that I made drunk became popular.
What do you drink soju with?
Melodies accompany me when I drink.
Notes, notes!
Hello, this is Park Chan-ho.
Let me introduce my wife, Park Ri-hye, who's going to be your special chef tonight.
Chef Park Ri-hye!
The one thing my husband is not good at would be singing.
I will teach him how to sing, can he teach my kids baseball in return?
I can make that happen.
You guys are in-laws already.
The dish has to fulfill 4 men at Chang-jung's house.
Gosh, what should I do?
Mommy! Can you get me some milk?
Someone please take care of him!
He looks like he's looking at his in-law.
I'm sure my kids will like you, too.
[Today, it's Ju-wan's turn!]
Ju-wan's been popular since he was young.
The rumor has that he was a king of dancing.
He was known as the dancing king.
He has taught dancing to famous idols these days.
- Really? - Yeah.
There is a rumor that you taught TVXQ.
It is... true.
He says it's true.
- Shall we have a moment for dancing? - We should.
He has taught TVXQ.
He's a multi-entertainer.
- We gotta see it. - Let's give him a round of applause.
[Please be ready for Ju-wan's dancing skills ]
I will be your supporter in the back. So don't be nervous.
(He's got a great supporter)
Drop the beat!
(He's feeling the music)
(Wave dance)
He's warming up.
[All of Sudden...]
[Great Back Tumbling]
Wow. How can he do that?
(The backup dancer suddenly barged into the stage)
He's the backup dancer.
(The backup dancer's strange dance)
(His wave dance using hips)
[BRAVO]
He's good.
Did you see the back tumbling?
- Chef Park Ri-hye was amazed. - She was watching with her hands gathered.
What did you think of him dancing?
He was amazing.
That was the key of getting ladies' hearts.
Pretending he wasn't gonna do it at first.
In that case, let me do one more thing to get ladies hearts.
Let me try one more thing.
- Look at him. - It's not a dance.
I am going to do push-ups with one less finger each time.
I want you to count down the numbers together.
Let's begin... 5!
4!
- 4 fingers.. - 3!
I feel like his fingers are going to break.
2!
He can't do with one finger each, can he?
1!
They are gonna break...
1.
And 1!
Wow.
(Amazing)
(Proud)
(Unbelievable)
Amazing.
- He's good at dancing and he's strong.. - I know.
There is one more amazing fact about him other than dance and push-ups.
You know the song that all men loves to sing at a karaoke when they're with girls?
The rumor has it that Ju-wan has made
Lim Jae-bum's Confession popular.
Where are you.
Can you really hear me?
The rumor has it that Ju-wan has made Lim Jae-bum's Confession popular.
But Ju-wan has started the rumor himself.
I will make this clear today.
Let's hear him out.
12 years ago,
I sang "Confession" in a TV show.
To me, it feels like
the song was been remade and became popular after I sang at that show 12 years ago.
So, if Jae-bum's watching this show right now,
I wish if he could clarify whether or not I have contributed.
If he says no,
I will apologize to him.
- So you think Jae-bum knows? - Of course he does.
Something's weird, why did this song become so popular all of sudden?
Exactly, it happened during his break period.
I have a similar experience.
In 2003, you know the typical RayBan sunglasses?
- The ones with big glasses. - For pilots.
People weren't wearing those back then.
A month after I wore those, Rain started wearing those.
The taxi drivers in my town wore those.
No, I am not joking.
You're making Ju-wan's story weird now.
No, Ju-wan. You know what I mean, right?
I should just apologize.
In that case, we will decide after we hear you sing.
You must have been good at singing this song if you think you made the song popular.
Ju-wan's Confession.
What should I do?
What do I do now?
I know I don't deserve.. But I...
I love you.
Please forgive me.
If you need to punish me, I will get punished.
He's good at singing, too.
I understand why he had to argue.
I can tell that you've practiced a lot.
He wasn't this good.
He's good at everything.
They both gourmets and like to tour famous restaurants.
I heard you also have your own way of signing autograph.
Sometimes, people ask me for my autograph.
Right, people do that.
If it was good,
I write, "Thank you, I'll come again."
Or something like "I hope your business goes well."
But when the food wasn't good for me,
then I don't know what to write.
I can't write, "you need to work harder," right?
(You can't really do that)
It might be just me who don't think their food was good.
In that case, I ask their children's names, or
put their names so that they can't hang it in the store.
A lot of celebs to that, including me.
It feels like lying to me, and I am not good at that.
During the meeting before the shoot today,
you mentioned that you have a chef you want to avoid.
And that is Chef Choi Hyun-suk.
Finally!!
Finally we have an honest guest.
Why is that?
I am a big fan of him actually.
But he's tall and charismatic, you know?
I am just a little scared.
I understand what he means.
- Are you shocked? - No.
- Are you okay? - Your eves turned red.
I should pay more care and attention today .
If you didn't like my food, write me an autograph.
saying, "you need to work harder."
I will put it up on my restaurant wall.
It will be funny if we find that autograph on his restaurant wall.
You shouldn't be laughing, Poong.
Ju-wan interviewed that your food doesn't taste good.
All other chefs hold licenses
but Poong doesn't.
Were you that kind of person who cares about licenses?
I am looking forward to hearing his honest comments.
It's time for us to look into Ju-wan's fridge.
- Do you live by yourself? - Yes.
It's been 13-14 years.
Since I was 20.
- Your parents are still in Daejeon? - Right.
Then your mother comes by sometimes?
Anyone else?
Your fridge will tell us the truth.
I didn't move anything.
We will find out when we open the fridge.
You need to make a right decision.
Men sometimes put things that they don't eat in the fridge.
If that thing gets discovered here, you will be in a trouble.
They are not going to cut it out.
Well, we don't mind. It will be good for us.
All the alcohols are not mine.
- There are alcohols? - Yes.
I don't drink, so...
Ju-wan, you need to think right.
Don't hide, you can speak the truth.
Why are you hiding your girlfriend?
You can't call your girlfriend your girlfriend?
I have.... Oops.
(Someone please stop him)
The fridge looks very well maintained, it looks like new.
I bet someone cleans it for him.
And I bet he likes delivery food, too.
- What's over there? - Many ads for fried chickens...
Laundry stores, and some coupons.
Is there anything like..
A note saying, "honey, the cucumbers are in the second drawer. Enjoy~"
Let's look for it.
I thought they would take those out.
It might be inside.
Let's see.
Let me introduce Ju-wan's fridge to you to look into his life!
It's filled with lots of stuff.
Let me introduce Ju-wan's fridge!
It's filled with lots of stuff.
He has more than I do.
He lives by himself but it's filled.
I didn't think you would put them as they were before without organizing.
I thought you would organize the inside to make them look clean.
We take a picture and place everything at where they were before.
I see one thing that tells me it's a celeb's fridge.
He has more facial care stuff.
Right here.
I do it very often.
- Are they all for you? - Yes.
That was a good question.
It's too many for one person.
They have expiration dates,
and lots of them are samples. I just put them all in there.
Ju-wan started to explain all of sudden.
He's eyes are shaking.
On the first shelf,
I see many drinks, including sparkling water and green tea.
I really like drinks.
Isn't it alcohol? It's a wine.
It's a wine from Chile.
And isn't this a champagne?
I thought you didn't like drinking.
It's been sitting there for a year.
These ones?
I bet he bought it a year ago to drink with his girlfriend and had a fight that day.
Is that true?
All alcoholic beverages are my dad's or my sister's.
But why are they here?
Why do you have your father and your sister's alcohol?
He's lying.
I don't think his father would drink champagne.
It's really not mine, really!
I can even call them. That's how innocent I am.
But..
I have met Ju-wan's sister last year because of work.
I asked her if she gets to see her brother often,
and she said she barely sees him.
Does your girlfriend like drinking?
No, she doesn't.
She doesn't like alcohol either.
There is no need for me to lie about alcohol, you know?
I would have taken them out if I knew it was going to cause me a trouble.
I bet he didn't expect us to be this smart.
(They are over his head)
We are one level above him.
(Suddenly feeling tired)
Aren't these cheeses used as sides for alcoholic beverages?
Correct.
For wines.
I didn't eat them.
Then who did? Your sister?
No, I think it was my father.
My dad is like an expert in wines.
Really? He's sneaking out.
I will get you, watch me.
What.. is this?
It's an energy drink with two tablets.
If you turn the bottle around, it won't be the brand you think it is.
You're right.
It's not the one that starts with a B. Newsies?
That's the title of a musical I played in.
One of my fans made it and gave it to me as a present.
I couldn't drink it.
It is to keep your health, what a thoughtful fan.
This is..
It's dried bellflower preserved in honey.
That's also from my musical cans. They say it's good for my throat.
Give me some now!
- We should share. - Right, he shared lot of his stuff last week.
Right, let's all share.
(It's supposed to be good for your voice)
Chang-Jung likes to share food, I guess.
Let's all share some.
And Ju-wan, you should have one, too.
-Have one. Don't be shy. -Okay.
Thank you so much.
It's ripped.
You eat it like a snack.
It's like jellies.
It tastes good.
It's good.
It's tasty.
Unbelievable. Your fans gave these to you?
It's unbelievable.
(He's putting it inside his own fridge)
You can use it as your ingredient if you want.
I'll give it back to you since it's from your fan.
It's so good by the way.
The second shelf is filled with side dishes.
Who made these?
My mom made them and brought them to me.
She does?
I personally like the sesame leaves.
I like to eat it with hot rice.
Why don't we taste it together?
- And this one is.. pickled mustard leaves? - Yes.
Ju-wan's mother made them herself.
My mom tends to put lots of salt so it might be salty.
The picked mustard leaves are so good.
It's really good.
The pickled mustard leaves are amazing.
I am a judge of a food competition on Korean foods from all 8 provinces,
your mother should try, she's really good.
The picked mustard leaves are so good.
Don't you tend to skip meals when you live by yourself?
Yeah, I don't like eating by myself.
When I was a college student, I was eating alone with TV on.
I was laughing hard and saw the reflection of myself in the windows.
(Pathetic)
I felt like I looked so shabby.
I know what you mean.
So I avoid eating by myself.
You eat.. some canned food.
Yeah, to make something very simple.
I don't eat much since I live by myself.
(Surprised)
It's saying hi to me.
I thought it was automatic.
I bought some ingredients to try cooking,
but I always ended up throwing them away.
But this looks...
Gosh.
(Mold has bloomed inside)
You shouldn't eat that.
This is... It is best by 08.11.2015.
It happens when you live by yourself.
Here is..
a black plastic bag.
That must be... potatoes.
Would there be molds everywhere?
There might be a sprout.
Usually, a black plastic bag means something very bad.
I have a bad feeling.
Wait, wait. Open little by little.
I can barely see anything.
(Red onions that have become mushy)
That's a red onion.
Yeah, we saw this last week.
Should we try?
Why is this all by itself?
This is usually problematic.
Ones that are separated from others are problematic.
There is a reason why they are separated from others.
It's already watery.
It's about to turn into onion juice.
Maybe the dried bellflower we ate was originally the normal bellflower.
I think it's possible, maybe it turned into a juice.
You think so?
You must love tangerines.
Here we have some grapes and plums.
Here we have some chives in the box.
I thought it was a lady's hair.
(He's seeing things now)
You shouldn't keep it withered like that.
- That's withered? - Yes.
If you water it with warm water, then you can preserve it fresh twice longer.
With 50 degrees C. water.
Really?
Same with fruits. It gets rid of the dirt, too.
Let's move on to the freezer now.
I caught it!
- Who lives in Busan? - All my cousins do.
Oh, really.
Who said something's suspicious?
I can give you that answer, too.
Who lives in Busan?
All my cousins do.
Don't believe everything he says.
We are too naive.
- Who's Kim Ji-eun? - I don't know.
See? There we go.
- You don't know your cousin? - You shouldn't say you don't know her.
What's inside?
Inside?
Fishcakes.
Then it must be my mom's.
Because the envelop itself preserves cold.
I think she wrapped the fishcakes with it to bring it to Seoul.
That makes sense.
What is this?
I think it's sweet potatoes.
- I eat it as a snack. - You must like them a lot.
It was delivered to the studio every time.
It was so good so I bought it myself after the drama was over.
But it's random.
The one I ate at the studio was sweet pumpkin potatoes for sure.
The ones I bought were chestnut sweet potatoes. It's crumbly.
- It's not written on the cover? - It's not.
Oh my gosh.
If you want to use sweet potatoes, you need to pick pumpkin sweet potatoes.
These are mackerels from Jeju Island.
I don't really like fish.
Because I don't like when my house smells like food.
It's really hard to get rid of them once it smells.
But mom keeps telling me to eat fish for my health.
Mothers want their sons to be healthy,
but sons are being very picky.
These are.. ducks. Do you like ducks?
I like all kinds of meat. Beef, pork, chicken...
There are lots of ducks, especially.
This one is duck, too.
He likes ducks.
We will wrap up looking into Ju-wan's fridge now.
It was a typical fridge of someone who lives by himself.
Let me announce the chefs who will be competing with Ju-wan's ingredients.
Seed #1 is...
Chef Lee Yeon-bok with 25 stars.
Seed #2 is Choi Hyun-suk with 22 stars.
#3 is Oh Se-deuk with 11 stars.
At last, we have Jung Ho-young with 8 stars.
Lee Yeon-bok, Choi Hyun-suk, Oh Se-deuk, and Jung Ho-young.
Let's see what Ju-wan has asked us for.
What should we do with a salted mackerel.
You should sing it for us.
What should we do with a salted mackerel.
He's cute.
I don't really like fish,
but I think it will be a good to use this opportunity
to change my opinion.
How about duck?
When my mom comes up, she always cooks the same duck food.
She stir-fries duck with mushrooms, chives, and onions.
I want to try something new.
You want something new.
Let's start with Chef Lee. Which one do you want to pick?
I will go for the duck.
Ducks are important ingredients for Chinese food.
Chef Choi!
Ducks cooked in Chinese style is good,
but there are lots of Western styles too.
Okay.
Are you...?
I will go for the ducks.
It's real.
Chef Choi is competing against Chef Lee.
It's been 7 months since they competed against each other.
That automatically puts Se-deuk and Ho-young in mackerel competition.
We have a big match coming up today.
Let's get started with Ju-wan's ingredients.
"What should we do with a salted mackerel" begins now!
This is going to be an interesting match.
So far, Ho-young has won both matches against Se-deuk.
Is competing against Chef Oh more comfortable?
It is.
In other words, Chef O's easy to win over.
You lost all the matches when we had a young man as our guest.
You lost when Kim Jong-min and Baro came as guests.
When he was sitting down,
Our eyes met 4~5 times.
He kept looking at me like..
(Ju-wan!)
(What does he want?)
What's wrong with you, Se-deuk?
He was seducing Ju-wan.
It was an advanced publicity.
Alright.
[Chef Jung] Picked Pollack, Asparagus, Mackerel, Corns, and Potatoes.
[Chef Oh] Powdered Hot Pepper, Mackerel, Frozen Sweet Potatoes.
Please introduce your food, Chef Jung.
Please, allow me...
Please allow me a mackerel.
The food I am making today is 'Allow Me Just One Mackerel.'
'Allow Me Just One Mackerel!'
I think you are better at dancing than singing.
I think so too.
He thinks he's better at dancing.
So- Ju-wan doesn't really like eating mackerels.
I will make something
that will make him apologize to to mackerels.
It will be sauteed in Japanese style with soy sauce,
and I will make potato salad with pickled pollack as a side.
The food I am making today is 'Surprised Mackerel.'
'Surprised Mackerel!'
If Chef Jung's is Japanese, mine will be more like Cantonese.
Cantonese.
I am going to steam the fish.
At the end, I'm going to pour boiling canola oil over fish and green onions.
It will be an easy-to-make steamed fish.
- Did you take sweet potatoes? - Yes, I did.
I wish they are pumpkin styled.
That's chestnut.
They are chestnut sweet potatoes.
They are not pumpkins?
It's so random as you can see.
Even if they are chestnut styled...
they are going to turn tasty because I am going to fry them with honey.
Oh, you're frying them with honey?
Fry with honey?
Mackerel and sweet potatoes with honey...
After losing both matches against Chef Jung,
Chef Oh has prepared 2 plates today.
He's competing with quantity now.
At least one would work, I hope.
Let's get started on Chef Jung vs. Chef Oh's match.
He's powerful. Especially against Chef Oh.
Chef Jung with silent Charisma who's on the winning streak.
And we have Chef Oh, who's here not to allow Chef Jung to take another win.
He came with a determination to use every bit of a mackerel.
Let's see if Chef Oh could finally take his first win against Chef Jung.
The match begins now!
They have to use salted mackerels.
15 min match with salted mackerels.
(Prepping mackerels first)
It's important to get the stink of fish.
Ju-wan hates the stink of fish.
He took out the mackerel.
Chef Jung took out the mackerel.
He has to get rid of the fish smell.
Oh, he as a special tweezers for it.
Those kinds of fish all have side bones.
Different types of fish have different characteristics.
(Chef Oh prepares mackerels first too_
They have to take out all the fish bones.
Finding a bone while eating a mackerel is very unpleasant.
Then the match might be over.
- They are making cuts with knives. - What is that for?
The skin parts contracts when cooked with fire.
The inner part doesn't.
Without cuts, the fish will be curved towards the skin part.
It's to keep the shape.
Also, it helps to cook evenly and spread the sauces evenly.
If he doesn't know this basics, how did he win over Sam Kim?
He got Sam 6 times.
[After removing all fish bones and making cuts on the skin]
[dip the mackerel in a mixture of Cheongju and ginger juice.]
Mix the ground garlic, chopped ginger, chopped pepper, and white parts of green onion.
[Make a sauce with soy sauce, cooking wine, and hot water in a bowl.]
(Chef Oh's done with making sauce)
[Cook mackerel with water.]
[Boil with Cheongju, cooking wine, sugar, and ginger juice. Remove foams.]
He's removing foams.
What is that for?
The foams are just sediments. It's to get rid of the stink of fish.
Oh, we have to remove the foam.
It looks similar to boiled fish with say sauce.
Yes, he's boiling down the soy sauce.
Chef Oh is already putting the sauce on top of the mackerel.
It seems like he's steaming that.
He's putting it in.
He has to hurry.
He's putting it in a steaming pot.
As of the moment he put in the mackerel, we have 10 minutes and 41 seconds left.
I don't know if he will have enough time.
He has to steam it and finish everything in 10 minutes.
He has to steam it completely in 10 minutes, right?
If it doesn’t, it will smell like fish.
Are you making rice with it?
I thought it would be better if he eats with rice.
I feel like Chef Jung will need to make some rice as well.
Boiled down mackerel will be so much better with rice on the side.
Are you going to make rice, Chef Jung?
Yes, I am getting on it right now.
Chang-Jung knows what chefs are thinking.
Chef Jung's also making rice.
[Make pre-made rice with microwave.]
(Peeling potatoes quickly)
[After cutting potatoes into pieces, boil them.]
He took out pickled pollack.
Oh, pickled pollack.
I am going to mix it with boiled potatoes.
- With boiled potatoes? - Yes.
[In a bowl, add mayonnaise and canned corns.]
[Remove water from the potatoes and mash them with other ingredients.]
What are you doing, Chef Jung?
I am smashing the potatoes because they are all cooked now.
He put in some corns.
He's mixing with mayo.
It smells good.
[Melt butter on a pan and fry the potato salad with pickled pollack.]
Chef Jung is looking sharp today.
I can tell he wants to win today.
He has won once, now he wants to win more.
Beat Chef Oh.
Chef Oh took out the potatoes.
I wonder if they are chestnuts or pumpkins.
They are both chestnuts.
That's sad.
Chef Oh's frying sweet potatoes with honey while steaming the mackerel.
One is salted mackerel with sweet potatoes,
and the other is salted mackerel with potatoes.
(Removing the oil from the sweet potatoes)
- He poured in oil, right? - Yes.
(Make sweetener with sugar and corn syrup)
He's caramelizing the sweet potatoes.
- What did you say? - Caramelizing.
He's caramelizing.
- Oh, Okay. - I said the same thing!
You have to pay attention to your pronunciation.
- C.A.R.A.M.E.L.I.Z.I.N.G. - Right.
Please go to the kitchen, MC Ahn.
I wonder what's going on.
Can you taste Chef Jung's mackerel sauce and tell us if it has the fish smell?
It looks like it's going to be salty.
Just the sauce.
Here he goes. How is it?
It's a bit fishy.
He has to get rid of that.
Come on, Ho-young.
He poured in more Cheong-ju!
I wonder if he will be able to get rid of fish smell in 3 minutes.
I'm curious about this one. This has to be cooked in time.
Salted mackerel in a steaming pot.
I wonder how well it's cooked.
He says he's almost done.
What did the mackerel say?
He asked for just a moment.
(Mix the cooked sweet potatoes with honey sauce.)
(Put them on a plate.)
Is everything okay?
(Put rice in a bowl.)
(Adding sugar to get rid of fish smell.)
(Add chopped asparagus to mackerel)
This was a bit fishy last time I tasted it.
Try it again.
There's not much time left.
How is it now?
Is it okay?
What should we do!!
(What should we do?)
It's still fishy.
It's still there.
What should we do?
(Chef Oh is anxious as well)
Chef Oh is looking at the steaming pot.
My sweet potatoes are ready.
Isn't it time to open the pot yet?
He opened it!
(Surprised)
He opened it!
Hurry and taste if the broth tastes fine.
I hope it's not fishy. We don't have time.
30 seconds left. How is it?
What should we do!
(What Should I Do?)
What to do, what to do, Chef Oh.
Only 20 seconds left now. You have to get rid of that fishy smell.
- I wonder if he'll be able to do it in 20 seconds. - If he doesn't, it's over.
- What are you going to do? - Both of them are a bit...
Oh, what are you going to do?
(12. Put the potato pancake on a plate.)
(13. Put rice, sesame seeds, and sesame oil and mix.)
(Chef Jeong On his final stage)
(14. Add the boiled mackerel and asparagus on the top.)
Oh, Chef Jeong is done!
- He's done! - What to do! What to do!
10 seconds!
Okay, Chef Oh is finishing up. You're running out of time. You need to hurry.
- Okay! - He's done, too.
Wow, they had some rough time.
(Japanese style boiled mackerel with a potato pancake)
(Chef Jeong Ho-young's 'Allow Me Just One Mackerel')
I wonder if he got rid of the fishy smell.
- That's the most important part. - Alright.
I wonder if it'll be alright. He's first trying a small portion of potato.
- 'What am I going to do'! - 'What to do'!
(What am I going to do...)
- I'll try the main dish. - Alright.
- I hope it doesn't smell. - Yes, it's important.
We can just tell by his facial expression.
- He's an honest person. It all shows on his face.
Okay, it's in his mouth now.
(How will the Japanese-style boiled mackerel taste?)
- (What am I gonna do) - His face...
He looks so serious.
Oh, what are we going to do?
- Oh, no... - I've seen that face before.
When your mom feeds you carrots, that's the face you make.
When she feeds you carrots.
Oh, he's like confused.
He's even smelling it.
The person who finished first is at an advantage.
As the fish cools down, it'll smell more.
(Then what am I going to do...)
- Have lots of thoughts? - It doesn’t smell.
Oh, that's good!
(He got rid of the fishy smell and taste!)
- The sauce isn't fully... - Yes?
- soaked in yet. - Because of the time.
- The sauce.... - So I couldn't tell...
if it smelled or not. I couldn't really taste the sauce.
Oh, I see. So the mackerel isn't fully marinated, huh?
- He had to make it in 15 minutes. - Yes, the time was too short.
- This pancake with corns. - Yes.
I personally like potato pancakes.
But I wish it was more crispy.
Oh...
He's very detailed and scrupulous.
But since it's not overflowing with sauce, I can eat more of it.
- Oh, I see. - And it doesn't taste fishy.
(Guandong style mackerel stew with baked sweet potato)
(Chef Oh Sae-deuk's 'Surprised Mackerel')
Please eat it with the sauce part and rice.
- It smells really good. - It does.
- Get rid of the bones from the fish. - Eat it with green onions.
And with the sauce. If you want it to be marinated.
Wow...
- It looks so good. - It's a perfect combination.
Okay, the sauce.
You hold the bowl closer to you like this. Yes, like that.
He's such a good listener.
He does as he's told.
Alright, he's tasting it now.
- His face... - What expression is that?
- Oh! - Oh, my! Is it good?
What does that mean?
I guess it was different from his expectation.
I guess it wasn't bad.
He's trying only the mackerel now.
- Does it smell? - Oh!
(What is this?)
It's 'what am I going to do' in a positive way?
(Nodding)
I think I owe an apology.
Oh, you think you need to apologize.
(He's never tasted this kind of mackerel.)
The sauce is very strong.
It's strong but it doesn't taste fishy at all!
When you look at it it, you're kinda held back because of the fish skin.
Right.
- And you're wondering if it'll smell. - Right ,right.
But it doesn't taste like fish. It doesn't taste like mackerel.
You put the canola oil on the top.
And the oil from green onion and hot pepper.
- You sound all arrogant now. - I know.
He suddenly became all arrogant.
I was just...
It doesn't have any bones it it.
It kinda tastes like marinated salmon steak.
Okay, try the baked sweet potato now.
That's the finale.
Oh, is it melting in your mouth?
It's chestnut sweet potato, is it okay?
It's not a problem?
- It isn't a problem. Not at all. - I see.
When you eat the baked sweet potato from a supermarket,
- It usually tastes too artificial. And the sugar sticks to your teeth.
- But this one's not sticky at all. - Yes.
Has Chef Jeong's dream gone down the drain now?
Oh, what to do now... He's trying it one more time.
As time passes, the sauce might have gotten more soaked in.
- (Huh?) - Oh? What is that?
- Oh, what is that expression? - It tastes better when it's cold?
- It tastes better when it's cold? - (Nodding)
It tastes better now that it cooled down?
Before, I thought it needed more sauce. But now I'm trying it and...
the sauce really soaked in.
Oh...
Wow, what's gonna happen now? (I want to taste it, too)
Wow, thank you so much.
He's saying thank you.
He's apologizing. And he keeps eating it. He wasn't eating it before.
Oh, he's touched!
I can't believe this. He looks so relieved now.
It's going to be hard to choose.
Out of all the mackerel dishes I've tried so far,
- this one is the top. - It's the best, huh?
- I want to taste it, too. - Shall we, then?
Alright, everyone will try now.
First, Chef Jeong's 'Allow Me Just One Mackerel'.
It's good.
Very delicious (In Japanese)
Wow.
- It's very delicious (In Japanese). - Is it good?
- This can't be true. - Seriously.
There was no need to ask if it had the fishy smell or now.
That's not the problem right now.
This is awesome, really.
I usually don't like this kind of food. It can taste too fishy.
I usually don't like this type of dish but...
I'd say that our of all the mackerel dishes I've tried, this one is the best.
I think it was such a great idea to use the sweet soy sauce for this.
When he first tried it, he acted like it didn't taste good.
So I really thought, 'it doesn't taste good...?' at first. But it's so delicious.
It's such a high quality dish.
Very high quality.
It doesn't have that distinct fish smell. And it has this sweet aroma.
He's a very talented chef.
I know.
This time, we'll try Chef Oh's 'Surprised Mackerel'. Let's get surprised!
Okay, I should use a spoon.
(As soon as he tastes it...)
- (He stands up) - What is this? I want more.
This is crazy.
You know the soup part of this dish...it's so good.
- This really is the best. - Oh.
This is so awesome.
He added the boiled canola oil at the end.
I think that contributed the most.
- Oh, the oil. - What oil was that?
Canola oil.
Yes, Canola oil.
It was frozen mackerel. But he really got rid of all that distinct fish smell.
I think I'm going to try making this at home.
Oh, you're gonna try it at home. Alright...
Joo-wan has to make the hardest decision in his life today.
- It's time to choose now. - (Touch it)
It's going to be so hard.
My heart right now...
It's beating like crazy!
Number 1 is Chef Jeong Ho-young. Number 2 is Chef Oh Sae-deuk.
Please make your decision and press the button.
Whom will he choose? Okay, he pressed it.
Let's found out the result.
Will it be Chef Jeong's 3rd consecutive victory or will Chef Oh make his recovery?
Please show us the result? Whom did you choose?
- (Chef Oh Sae-deuk - Winner) - Chef Oh Sae-deuk!
('Surprised Mackerel' - Winner)
Chef Oh won!
- He chose Chef Oh. - He made his recovery.
He chose Chef Oh.
It was really hard because the ways of making were different
but they both deserved 500 points out of 200.
But it was timed cooking battle. So I added a point to the baked sweet potato.
- Oh, the baked sweet potato. - It was really good, too.
- I really couldn't compare the two. The were both really good. - I see.
When I tried Chef Jeong's dish, I thought I was going to lose.
But well, thank you for choosing my dish.
- Thank you for the food. - His 12th victory! Congratulations!
- Congrats! - Good job.

We'll continue with our cooking battle using the ingredients from Joo-wan's fridge.
It's Chef Lee Yeon-bok against Chef Choi Hyun-seok. They will be making duck recipes.
This is the official big match of our program.
Yes, it's like Ronaldo vs Messi.
Choi Dong-won against Sun Dong-ryeol.
Lee Yeon-bok against Choi Hyun-seok.
- It's been 7 months since they had their last match. - Yes.
Right now the score is 3:1.
Chef Lee is winning currently.
The other cooking battles we had today, they all had a theme.
- But today, Joo-wan chose the ingredients for them. - Right.
It's the first time to have a cooking battle
where both chefs will be using the same ingredients.
If I was Choi Hyun-seok, I'd have avoided this match.
(How dare you...)
I don't like competing against him.
(Chef Cho would refused to avoid this match)
You know, Chef Choi usually
seems very carefree and acts all arrogantly when he has competitions.
- But today, he looks very calm. - Yes, very calm.
And while we were talking he kept checking all the cooking tools. Thinking it ahead.
It's been a while... but today, you'll see the serious side of me.
Alright.
(Chef Choi's Ingredient Choice: red onion, tangerine, peach, duck)
(Chef Lee's Ingredient Choice: red onion, tangerine, asparagus,
mushrooms, pork sauce, smoked duck, lotus root)
Today, I'm going to make...
'Starting From Today, We(similar to 'duck' in Korean pronunciation) Are...'
Starting today, we are...
Starting today...
What kind of dish is it?
I wanted to make a duck steak.
But it's been sliced already.
So it's hard to use the skin part.
So I thought of an idea...since I wanted to make a steak...
- I decided to make a duck hamburger steak. - Oh, a duck hamburger steak.
Duck meat goes very well with fruit sauce.
So I'm going to use tangerine and butter to make the sauce.
And I will make this thing called onion paste.
So it will be sweet and spicy hamburger steak using duck meat.
Alright. A hamburger steak, but using duck meat.
Today, I'm going to make 'If You Cut(similar to 'duck' in Korean pronunciation) It'
'If You Cut It'...
- It has noodles? - Yes.
- Oh. - I've done many dishes that have noodles in them.
But this one will be different.
- I'm going to make the dough and cut it with scissors. - Oh, scissors.
That and the duck meat.
And also the asparagus and other various vegetables. I'm going to sti-fry them.
The texture, the taste when you chew it, it's going to be the best.
It will be the best.
- Wow, a duck recipe. - Alright.
Then we'll go ahead and start our cooking battle.
This guy can accurately pinpoint the guests' personal favorite taste.
Chef Lee Yeon-bok, the god of cooking.
Always mesmerizing the guest with taste and visuals,
the king of cooking, Chef Choi Hyun-seok.
We'll we get to see another big match that will be the legend of our program?
We'll start our duck recipe cooking battle now!
It's a 15 minute cooking battle!
(Working at a full speed)
This is their 5th match.
Right now the score is 3:1. Chef Lee is currently winning.
Chef Park is standing up and watching.
I guess she's too nervous.
He's using flour to make the dough.
Yes, the dough is a very important part in Chef Lee's dish.
And he's an expert at making it.
They say that he can make a dough out of rocks even.
- Out of rocks? - Do they really?
-Yes, with small pebbles. - Alright.
Okay, Chef Lee is making the dough.
(1. Mix flour, salt and water to make a dough.)
- (He covers the dough with a bowl.) - He's already fermenting it.
- Fermenting it? - Yes, he's already done making it.
He covered it with a mixing bowl.
Wow. How long will it take to ferment it?
Normally it takes 3-4 hours. But today, I don't know...
If it's some what done, I’ll just get started.
There's no option.
(1. Slice the asparagus. Add salt and blanch it slightly.)
(He's cutting the red onions)
Oh, the red onions.
- Wow! - So fast!
Chef Lee is using red onions as well.
Wow, we're seeing lots of red onions today.
(3. Stir-fry the red onions.)
Poong is helping him out quietly.
- It's sportsmanship. - Alright.
Usually, they're enemies to each other.
Okay, he's removing the skin from the duck meat.
When he is in a bad mood, he doesn't really do it thoroughly.
(Is he an ally or an enemy?)
(Using the hand blender)
He's going to mince it?
- It's hamburger steak. - Yes, he'll have to mince it.
(4. Put about half portion of the duck meat and mince it with the hand blender.)
This time, Chef Choi is using two knives to prepare the meat.
It's kinda like what Poong did last week.
Okay, they're growing similar to each other.
I should take a picture of this.
(Fake & Arrogant - Starting today, we are...)
Okay, there are minced meat and chopped meat.
- He mixed it. - Why are you mixing it? You're not using one?
If it's too rough, you won't be able to make them stick together.
But if you mince it too much, it will be too mushy.
Oh, very smart.
- Chef Lee is taking out the... - Smoked duck meat!
Yes, smoked duck meat.
It's raw duck vs smoked duck. They can be very different.
(Puts the entire meat in oil)
He's frying it.
Are you frying it or are you cooking it?
Neither one.
- He's like scorching it. - Oh, scorching it...
To give it a texture.
If you do that, you can get rid of the oil from the meat, too.
Because it'll be mixed.
(5. Crush garlic. And Chop the white part of green onion.)
(6. Chop asparagus and mushrooms. Mix with red onions.)
- Is that lotus root? - Yes.
- To make it more crispy when you chew it. - I see.
Lotus root is very crispy.
(Speed Chopping)
Wow, look at him. Always so good.
(7. Remove the skin from the lotus root and chop it.)
(8. Get rid of oil from the smoked duck)
(Puts the vegetables in the same pan.)
(9. Add the vegetables and stir-fry.)
He's using that leftover oil to stir-fry the vegetables.
Oh, is that so?
They do sell the duck oil.
It's like $50 for 1 kg.
Okay, he's making the patty.
Chef Choi is trying to make a round shape.
(7. Make the round shaped patty. Put salt, pepper and olive oil.)
It's unique because he's not adding the salt but...
he's only adding it on the surface of the patty. Like a steak.
- I see. - Usually, you do it altogether.
He's grilling it now.
(He picks up the salt bottle)
Oh, you're not gonna do your performance today?
(Arrogance Explosion)
(Victim)
- He really does it? - Yes, he really does it.
It's your first time seeing it in person, right?
I thought it was fake.
- I though it was computer graphics. - No, no. He really does it.
(And some really do get showered with salt)
Now, he's adding pepper to it.
- It will be so soft. - I know.
(10. Grill the blanched asparagus.)
Oh, he's using the peaches. Those peaches were really good.
(A combination of asparagus, patty and peach)
Wow, it'll be so soft. Awesome.
(Chef Lee takes out the fermented dough.)
Oh, he's cutting it with scissors!
With scissors!
Wow, a very long strip.
- There's this Chinese dish called Dosakmen. You cut it on your shoulder. - Yes.
It's similar to that.
It's longer and thinner. It's like cutting a radish.
It's better if you can ferment it longer.
But the time's limited right now. So I can't help it.
- Oh.. -5 minutes 50 seconds.
Look at Chef Lee. Look at his lips.
- Yes. - When he's really focused.
Right now, he's really focused.
The theme of this dish is duck. So I was just mimicking it.
- Oh really? - (Duck Yeon-bok)
Mimicking a duck...
I think you should stop now. Will you able to cook them all?
It won't take long.
Okay, are you trying to give him an advice right now?
(Last week) The professionals are cooking right now.
Is it okay for an amateur to go and talk about their food like that?
(He said that last week...)
But now today...you're telling Chef Lee what to do?
(Chef Choi is now making the onion paste)
(12. Mix in the red wine, water and salt to make the paste.)
I'm a bit worried, actually...
- Chef Choi has a jinx. - What is it?
When he gets all serious, then he loses that battle.
- If he focuses too much, he always loses. - Oh, did he really?
Okay, now he's acting all carefree.
Oh, he's doing that tongue thing. We haven't seen that one for a while.
5 minutes left.
Alright, I'll go over there and take a look.
This is a big match. First, Chef Choi's dish.
He already started his plating.
(13. Put the baked asparagus and onion paste on top of it.)
Oh, the onion paste! He made it with red onions.
( How will it taste?)
'Starting Today, We Are...'
Umm, this...it's a bit...too plain.
It is? Was he too focused?
For onion paste, you have to boil it for a long time usually.
But he doesn't have much time. That's why he used the wine.
Right, right. It kinda tastes like it's been cooked in a short amount of time.
(Will it go well with the hamburger steak?)
(Adding sauce to the stir-fried vegetables)
(11. Add soy sauce, tangerine juice, salt, pepper and cooking wine to the vegetables.)
(Takes out the cooked noodles)
(12. Wash with cold water.)
- Oh, he got the noodles. - Oh, are they done?
Okay, took them out. Wow, look at them.
- It kinda looks like spicy rice cake. - Yes, I know.
It's actually thicker than I thought.
- Okay, I'll just try these noodles. - Alright.
(Noodles that have been cut with scissors - How will it taste?)
Wow, it's so chewy.
Wow this...it's so chewy.
(14. Stir-fry the smoked duck as well).
(Preapring the tangerines)
- Can you get the juice out? - This?
(Very obedient Poong)
(14. Mix the juice from tangerine, lemon juice, salt and butter to make the sauce.)
(15. Add butter and flour. Keep boiling it.)
(Poke a pin through..)
(Check the temperature...)
(Move it to the plate.)
(16. Put the patty and the baked peaches on the onion paste.)
Okay, give it to me.
Oh, he's preparing something else.
- Oh, this... - The sauce!
- Yes, the sauce. - He's pouring it over.
1 minute left and now he's pouring out the sauce.
The yellow sauce...Okay! He's done!
Chef Choi's dish is complete!
Okay, now Chef Lee.
It has noodles but they won't get all soggy.
Oh, really?
- I made all the servings. - Oh, he made 12 portions in just 15 minutes?
2, 4, 6, 8...12 portions all at once!
Wow, look at this.
Are you done? Okay, Chef Lee is done, too!
27 seconds left. Both chefs completed their recipes. That was amazing.
I just don't understand it.
They made these with the ingredients from your fridge.
I know. Look how pretty they are.
Okay, so duck recipe cooking battle is complete now.
Wow, I can't believe this. This can't be true.
(A duck hamburger steak with a special tangerine sauce with onion paste)
(Chef Choi's 'Starting Today, We Are...)
First, he's trying the peaches.
It's not what you expected?
Why are you looking at it like that?
The peaches...
- They are not peaches. - Right?
They're not?
It got caramelized when he baked it.
Okay, try them together now.
He's eating them now. The duck hamburger steak.
(With onion paste)
- That's the important part. - Right.
(One Mouthful)
(Laughing without talking)
(What does that mean?)
(Can't speak...)
(Anxious)
It reminds me of New York.
Oh...
I fee like I'm in NY, where a hamburger was invented.
But I can't really distinguish if this is duck or beef.
- Oh... - Because he minced it.
People usually cook the duck meat all the way through.
But it tastes better when it's cooked medium.
That's when it tastes the best.
So I cooked it that way on purpose.
- Wow, seriously... - The duck hamburger steak...
(Noodles that have been cut by scissors with smoked duck)
(Chef Lee Yeon-bok's 'If You Cut It')
It has noodles. He's cleaning his mouth.
This time, it's noodles with a smoked duck.
- I'm very curious about the noodles. - Yes.
- It was very chewy.
With vegetables...
It looks delicious.
He looks a bit serious...
Is something wrong with it?
This is not how people usually react to Chef Lee's dish.
- It's a different. - Definitely.
Is there something wrong?
- I couldn’t really say anything because... - Yes?
When I chewed it, I couldn't think of the ingredients.
Oh...
I only thought about Chef Lee, who was making the dough.
With his focused face, when he was cutting the noodles.
And his name on his knife.
Oh....like scene by scene. Like a movie.
I couldn't describe the taste right away.
Wow.
Doesn't taste like noodles.
- Kinda like soojebi. - Alright.
- It's very interesting. - Oh, I see.
This reminds me of streets in New York.
While this one reminds me of the effort of the professional.
Shall we try them, too?
First, we'll try Chef Choi's dish.
'Starting Today, We Are...'
(Yummy)
Wow, if it's this good, you'd usually look at the price.
You'll be thinking, 'this must be so expensive'.
This is scary good.
You can sprinkle the salt from the 3rd floor.
I'm curious. How do you make that natural taste come out with this hamburger steak?
How much you cook it - that's the most important part.
If you just touch it, it'll be hard to know.
So put a chopstick through it.
If it's warm, then it's ready.
If it's cold, it means it's not cooked. So it will smell.
If it's too hot, then it'll be too tough.
If it's warm, you can eat it then.
Joo-wan just said that it's hard to distinguish the Tate.
Try it without the sauce. It will be different.
Oh, it tastes like a duck?
Yes, definitely.
- So... - Why did you use the sauce?
So Chef Choi made a mistake by adding the sauce?
- It's unnecessary. - Oh, I see. He went too far.
Okay, this time...we'll try Chef Lee's 'If You Cut It'...
How did he...
- What did he put to make it sweet? - Onions.
Just onions?
Didn't he put some sugar in?
(Curious about the secret behind the taste)
I think he put some.
This is really interesting.
(Why is he laughing?)
I'm so happy right now.
I was thinking about how people can try out this recipe.
Making a dough will be a hassle.
But you know you can just buy some rice cake.
When it get's hardened, it becomes a bit tasteless.
You can just cut them and make this. I think it'll be similar.
I learned a lot today.
It was really delicious. I really wanted to see them cook in person.
- You guys are truly amazing. - Alright.
This is crazy...
This one's going to be hard, too.
It's like he got two movie proposals, two really good ones.
It's going to be very difficult to choose.
It's going to be so hard.
- Wow, really... - (Very frustrated)
Maybe Chef Park should vote, too?
Since you said you learned a lot today.
I don't think I should choose one.
But you must choose one.
Number 1 is Chef Choi Hyun-seok's dish. Number 2 is Chef Lee Yeon-bok's dish.
He looks very frustrated.
He pressed it.
- It must've been so hard. - Both of them made their decisions.
Joo-wan and Chef Park...
their decisions were different.
Oh, they chose differently.
I wonder whose dish Joo-wan chose?
A duck recipe cooking battle! Let's find out the result!
3:1. Chef Lee Yeon-bok who's currently ahead.
Will Chef Choi win this time?
Or will Chef Lee keep his victory again? Let's see whose dish Joo-wan chose!
Please show us!
Let's see whose dish Joo-wan chose!
Please show us!
(Choi Hyun-seok - Winner)
('Starting Today, We Are...' - Winner)
Chef Choi won!
Joo-wan chose Chef Choi.
That means Chef Park chose Chef Lee Yeon-bok's dish.
Wow, it must have been very difficult.
I actually don't really like hamburgers or steaks personally.
Okay.
But this one was just melting in my mouth.
And it was so pretty. The colors.
- So I gave more points for that. - I see.
It was really hard to choose.
I haven't been doing well lately.
But I guess when I only focus on the guest's satisfaction...
(Embarassed)
then the victory just follows...
He won the big match!
Chef Choi Hyun-seok, his 23rd victory. Congratulations!
Wow, it was a really big match.
