(Chef and My Fridge)
Nice to meet you.
Welcome. Have you ever had anything so delicious?
Here is the legion of seven chefs.
Nice to meet you.
(Here is the legion of seven chefs.)
- Welcome. - It's same as last week.
One seat is still empty today.
Please look forward...
to see which challenge chef...
will be here today.
Let's take a look at the early ranking.
Kim Poong, Yu Hyun Su, Mihal, Oh Se Deuk.
These four people have won twice.
- We did it. - They're on a roll. It's a tie.
That's great.
It's same as last year.
(He feels guilty.)
Good beginning ends bad like Kim Poong.
- Like Kim Poong. - You can say that.
- I can do it. - You can do it.
Last year, it changed.
I wonder if it will be the same this year.
Let's look forward to it.
Let's bring our guests today.
This week, we have Korea's biggest holiday,
Lunar New Year.
For Lunar New Year,
we have very special guests.
Introducing our guests today.
- Please come out. - Please come out.
Today's fridge owners.
(Today's fridge owners)
Foreigner friends.
Alberto Mondi and Sam Okyere.
- Come on. - Come on.
- Hello. - Nice to meet you.
He's been living in Korea for 11 years.
He settled down in Korea for his Korean wife.
He's the biggest lover from Italy.
- He's Alberto Mondi. - Hello.
Nice to meet you. Hello.
Happy New Year.
I hope you have a great time with your family.
Happy New Year.
Okay. Good.
He's been living in Korea for 10 years.
He's like Won Bin in Ghana.
Ghana's Won Bin, Sam Okyere.
- Thank you. - Sam Okyere.
Hello, everyone. I'm Sam Okyere.
Happy New Year.
I hope you make a lot of money and stay healthy.
(Happy New Year. Make a lot of money and stay healthy.)
You sound like...
Korean. You're totally Korean.
Usually in the past, on Lunar New Year,
- Right. - broadcasting stations...
- invited foreigners, - Singing.
and they sang and showed what they had.
We're going to show foreigners' fridges today.
(Foreigners' fridge show)
How long has it been since you moved to Korea, Mihal?
- 17 years? - 16 years.
- 16 years? - He's a senior.
Right. He's a senior.
I think...
Alberto and Sam speak Korean better than you do.
They're so much better. I didn't go to school to learn Korean.
I picked it up from the streets.
He speaks street Korean.
- He didn't learn properly. - No.
- From drunks? - Yes.
- I can swear well. - You can swear well.
Street Korean.
Which language do you use when you three meet up?
He doesn't speak English as well as you think.
So it's better to speak Korean.
Gosh.
There is a social intercourse. You're pretty close.
- I think Mihal's in favor. - Right.
He's probably well aware of what they like.
There's something I want to mention about Mihal.
- We have to talk about it. - Yes.
I guess he's already known as global appetite sniper.
You know the global sports festival in Pyeongchang?
They scouted him as a chef.
So after this,
he's going to Gangwon Province for a month.
Right.
That's right. I'm going to cook for...
athletes and all the guests...
from the Czech.
(Incredible)
He's amazing.
He's awesome.
We're suddenly talking about the Olympics because of Mihal.
We actually have people from Italy and Ghana.
These two countries are strong in the World Cup.
- Of course. - They're known for soccer.
Ironically,
they both couldn't make it to the World Cup this year.
They were eliminated in the preliminary rounds.
I'm sure Alberto is shocked.
Especially, Italy was eliminated...
in the preliminary rounds in 60 years.
- It's a huge change. - What happened?
I expected you...
not to talk about soccer today.
It happened.
We're very sad.
I could go to Russia and watch it.
- I know. - But I can still...
go support Team Korea.
- Right. - There's no other choice.
Actually, Jung Hwan used to play in the Italian league.
- Right. - He was good.
I was actually a semi-pro soccer player.
- Really? - I played soccer until 21.
I knew him when he was there.
- He was good. He had long hair. - Right.
Aren't you the first Korean player?
- In the Italian league? - Right.
He was the first Korean player.
Back then, it was the golden era...
- for Italian soccer. - It was the best.
All great players in the world were in Italy.
Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos,
Zidane, Baggio, and Del Piero.
You played with them at the time.
It's unbelievable.
Before I was on a show...
with Jung Hwan, I didn't know who he was.
- Really? - Yes.
So when I first met him,
I asked him what he does.
I asked what his job was because I didn't know him.
- You were not a fan. - "What do you do?"
We played a sport on another show.
- Foot volleyball? - Yes.
I met Sam Okyere in the waiting room.
He saw me and asked, "Do you know how to play soccer?"
(Do you know how to play soccer?)
I told him I'm not that good, but I'll try hard.
I didn't know.
Goodness.
He did a great job...
in the World Cup afterwards.
He scored a golden goal.
He was too good.
- I know. - It'd been better if he wasn't.
(It'd been better if he wasn't good.)
- In Italy's position? - Yes.
The thing is he couldn't go back to Italy...
after the game.
Perugia kicked him out.
It's a lie that Italian people hate Jung Hwan...
or Korea.
They don't.
We were actually angry because of the referee.
- We were angry at Referee Moreno. - Moreno.
- He resembles Lim Chae Moo. - I know.
I'm on a show with him where we go on a trip.
He said if he goes to Italy, mafias will kill him.
- Really? - There's so much to see.
We can't go because of him.
- You go. You can go. - What?
- We need to go together. - I can't.
Why not? He said you can.
No. You never know.
I don't think Referee Moreno can go to Italy.
- For sure. - Not Moreno.
Not the referee, but Jung Hwan can?
People who love soccer don't swear at the opposite team.
Right. It was a misunderstanding.
- You should try. - Let's go now.
No way.
Alberto made a good point.
We'll start cooking in a minute.
For those who brought global fridges,
we invited a Western dish special chef...
who will present authentic Italian dishes.
Introducing the challenge chef for today.
Please come out.
The challenge chef who will stay with us today.
He's nervous.
The emerging dark horse in Italian and French dishes.
- Nice to meet you. - It's Chef Tony Jung.
- Welcome. Nice to meet you. - He's spaced out.
- You're flustered. - I'm nervous.
Isn't he a robot?
Sit here.
He's frozen like a robot.
When he saw me, he could just pass but...
(Frozen)
(Where does this road lead?)
Okay.
He's the youngest person...
to join S Hotel in Korea.
After working at Michelin restaurants in New York and Paris,
he worked at the restaurant that ranked number 1...
in World Best Restaurant 50 for 3 consecutive years.
He's a talented chef...
who built his skill in Denmark's best restaurant.
He's Chef Tony Jung.
Nice to meet you.
Let's...
- say hi to the viewers. - He said hi with his eyes.
Nice to meet you. I'm Chef Tony Jung.
(Isn't this right?)
(Laughing)
It's short and sweet.
You're not nervous because you don't feel confident in cooking, are you?
- That's not it. - No.
- His expression changed. - He's a chef indeed.
He's scary because...
as soon as he was offered to join our show,
he went to spy on one of our chefs' restaurants.
- Really? - Isn't that amazing?
Sam Kim?
- Correct. - I knew it.
He thought he can compete in Italian cuisine.
Did you try Sam Kim's food?
- Yes, I did. - How was it?
I think he keeps the natural flavors of ingredients.
I tend to keep the balance...
by adding various ingredients.
His food doesn't?
- It's simple? - It's simple?
- Simple? - Is it simple?
Italian food is simple.
It has to be simple to be Italian food.
- He's helping Sam Kim. - He helps.
- That's what's amazing. - I see.
Another thing he told our crews is that...
he can win in terms of appearance.
- Appearance. - What do you think, Sam Kim?
He said he can win in terms of cooking...
- and appearance too. - Appearance too.
What makes you angrier?
Appearance.
(Appearance)
(He's embarrassed to say it himself.)
He thinks it's 1 of the top 3 handsome chefs here.
He's handsome.
- He is. - But...
we should ask him again...
after 15-minute cook-off.
Right. People look weird after 15-minute cook-off.
Right. It's weird.
Our chefs...
- are suited for 15 minutes. - Right.
In 15 minutes.
Rather than cooking like a robot,
humans are the ones cooking.
So I want to cook something humane.
(I'll present humane food.)
- In 15 minutes. That's amazing. - I admit it.
He showed up like a robot at first.
His words don't match his behavior.
You shouldn't be laughing now with your arms crossed.
- You may fall in an instant. - Right.
You may have to clasp your hands behind the back like this soon.
Like when you're being punished.
- You may have to. - Sure.
Before we look inside Alberto's refrigerator,
let's see what kind of dish he wants first.
The dishes Alberto wants.
- "Tofu Dish of Alberto's Life". - "Tofu Dish of Alberto's Life".
I think tofu is a great ingredient.
- Tofu? - You can eat it raw,
- grill it, boil it, - Right.
and make a stew with it too. It's amazing.
Tofu in Europe is not that delicious,
but tofu in Korea is really good.
So I'd like the chefs here to make...
a tofu dish that I've never tasted before for me.
- Then it'll be a Korean dish. - Yes.
And you want authentic Italian dishes too.
Because I'm Italian, I eat Italian food often,
and there will be a lot of Italian ingredients.
So I hope you will make...
authentic Italian cheese dishes for me too.
- Cheese dishes. - Cheese.
Let's decide who will compete with whom now.
Yu Hyun Su, Lee Yeon Bok, Sam Kim, and Tony Jung.
(Yu Hyun Su, Lee Yeon Bok, Sam Kim, and Tony Jung)
- It'll be fun. - Great.
Tony Jung, which theme do you want to choose?
Since Alberto is here this time...
- Then tofu? - Yes... No.
- No. - He said no.
- No, no. - Gosh.
- No, no. - Which will you choose?
- An authentic Italian dish. - An authentic Italian dish.
- I'm looking forward to it. - That's cool.
Tony chose an authentic Italian dish.
I can endure everything else, but I can't...
when someone depreciates my appearance.
Sure. You're the pride of Chef and My Fridge.
Go, Sam.
- How dare he depreciate it? - He did.
Since it's the first time that someone disparaged my looks,
I'll follow him and make an authentic Italian dish.
Let's say the winner today looks more handsome too.
- The winner? - Okay.
- That sounds good. - Good.
- You have to admit it. - Right.
(In a moment)
(The fierce cook-off between the two Italian chefs)
(They both make pasta.)
(They pursue authentic dishes in this cook-off.)
That does look like authentic Italian.
I can't believe it.
(Italian Alberto tastes the authentic Italian dish.)
What does it taste like?
- It's authentic. - Authentic?
He says it's authentic.
(Which pasta is highly praised by Alberto?)
(The cook-off for authentic Italian dishes will begin soon.)
Then automatically, Yu Hyun Su and Lee Yeon Bok...
will compete with each other for tofu dishes.
I can't wait to watch this match.
We're going to look inside Alberto's refrigerator in a moment.
How many people are there in your family?
I have my wife of course...
- Your wife. And? - and...
- a 17-month-old son. - A son.
What's his name?
It's Leonardo. We call him Leo.
- Leo. - As in Leonardo DiCaprio.
Which does he eat more often, Korean food or Italian food?
I guess 50 percent is Korean food,
30 percent is Italian food,
and 20 percent is food from other countries.
We try to feed him various kinds of food.
Let's see what Alberto's life looks like.
(It's your first time to see the fridge of an Italian, right?)
(Wine, cheese, pasta, and what else?)
(Italian Alberto's fridge for Lunar New Year's Day Special)
Let's take a look inside Alberto's refrigerator.
(It looks nice as expected.)
- Gosh. - It's so neat.
Let's take a look.
(Well-organized)
- It's so neat. - It is.
- It is neat. - It's different from mine.
Your wife seems to be good at housekeeping.
It's not an Italian's fridge but a Korean's fridge.
- It is well-organized. - It's neatly done.
- Let's look at the top shelf first. - Okay.
The first thing I see is bread.
It's the bread we eat for breakfast.
We all love Korean food,
but we eat Italian breakfast in the morning.
Italian breakfast in the morning.
We toast bread, put scrambled egg on it,
- and eat it with cappuccino. - Cappuccino.
I eat them with a cup of cappuccino and some fruit as well.
And on the second shelf, there are Korean side dishes.
- They're Korean dishes. - Who made these dishes?
Some are made by my wife and some are from her mother.
Really?
What is your favorite side dish among them?
- I like fried anchovies the best. - This one?
- That your wife made? - I like aged kimchi too.
- Do you like aged kimchi? - Aged kimchi?
- There is a napa cabbage too. - a napa cabbage.
What is this for?
My wife made shabu-shabu with soybean milk recently,
and it was so delicious.
We added napa cabbage, beef and so on.
- Soybean shabu-shabu? - It was great.
I guess your wife makes various dishes.
She is a good cook.
- Well... - I should get married.
Cooking is one of her hobbies.
I'm lucky to marry her.
- Right. You're lucky to marry her. - Yes.
Are you sure?
Yes. She is really a good cook.
(You should not get embarrassed at all.)
- You can be honest. - She is a good cook.
- Let's move on. - On the third shelf,
I can see meat. Which part is it?
- This part is good. - It looks delicious.
- I think it's beef tenderloin. - Beef tenderloin?
- It doesn't look like tenderloin. - That's for my son.
Is this only for Leo?
Usually, luxurious ingredients are for Leo.
- They are? - Because it is expensive.
- As it's expensive... - Korean beef is for your son,
- and imported beef is for you? - Imported beef.
- It's sad. - It is.
- He's exactly like us. - He is.
- He's just like Korean dads. - Even though he's Italian.
- He mentioned tofu a moment ago. - He did.
Here is tofu. I bet he loves tofu a lot.
- I do love tofu. - Here is soft soybean curd too.
There is tofu made with bay salt as well. And deep inside...
- There is a big block of tofu. - Right. This is big.
- Is this from a traditional market? - It probably is.
- As we live near Bangi Market... - Bangi Market?
Since when have you liked tofu this much?
Before I moved to Seoul, I lived in Chuncheon.
- As your wife lived in Chuncheon. - In Gangwon Province,
- they sell a lot of... - Soft tofu.
- soft tofu. - For example, in Chodang.
I found it so good when I had it.
So you fell for tofu after you came to Korea.
Is this cosmetic?
It looks like oil.
- It's a mixture... - Is it sesame oil?
- of sesame oil... - I see.
- and perilla oil. - It looks like a mixture of them.
I can smell both.
- Are these green beans? - Yes, they're green beans.
We like green beans and white asparagus.
- It's white. - White asparagus.
- It's white. - Here it is.
- So this is the one. - Yes.
White asparagus is in a jar outside the fridge.
Here is how we eat the asparagus.
We make some kind of sauce...
with boiled egg and asparagus, and put it on bread to eat it.
I bought it because I wanted to eat it so badly.
These look like authentic Italian ingredients.
The basket is for Italian ingredients.
- It is full of Italian ingredients. - It is.
- Are these capers? - Yes, capers.
- Koreans eat it with salmon. - We do.
- We never do. - Then with salad?
We usually use capers to make sauce.
So we eat the sauce with grilled seafood...
or put some capers in pasta.
Wait. Are there anchovies?
- Here are anchovies. - Here they are.
- There should be anchovies. - He should have them.
- He should. - Of course I have them.
- Here are anchovies. - Are there enough ingredients?
Tony Jung and Sam Kim, I think...
- you can't make many excuses today. - They can't.
- We got various sauces for you. - Right.
There are more than 10 kinds of sauce.
- More than 10. - There are.
And on the lower shelf,
there are all kinds of cheese including mozzarella,
- Parmigiano-Reggiano... - Reggiano.
- Right. - That is Pecorino.
- Pecorino? That will be so good. - Pecorino.
- "Asiago"? - Asiago.
- Is it Asiago? - Asiago.
- Asiago is... - There are a lot.
a city in the northern part of Italy.
It's cheese from that city.
- Is this scarmorza? - It's scarmorza.
Gosh. This is scarmorza.
- I've never seen it before. - Are they all cheese?
They are all cheese.
Here is burrata as well.
- He has almost all kinds of cheese. - Every kind.
The things in that drawer are my treasures.
- Is it a treasure drawer? - In fact, I don't spend much money,
- but... - You buy cheese?
I spend a lot on cheese.
- What is this? "Porcini"? - It's mushrooms.
It's very expensive mushrooms.
- Porcini. - Is this mushroom?
Italians can't do without porcini in the winter.
We make risotto and pasta with porcini in the winter.
- It has a wonderful fragrance. - It does.
That's what I brought from Italy.
Let's look at the door shelves now.
- Is there something special here? - Let's take a look.
"Insulin aspart"?
- Are these injections? - As I have childhood diabetes.
- There are two types of diabetes. - Right.
And I have type 1 diabetes.
It's not generically inherited. They don't know the cause of it.
Some children develop this disease when they're young.
I'm okay if I get the injections.
Should we not make sweet food for you then?
You can make sweet food. It's okay.
- Doesn't it matter? - It doesn't because I work a lot.
- I'm taking good care of it. - I see.
- I'm glad it's not that serious. - So am I.
- This must be wine. - Wine in packets.
Because wine is too expensive in Korea,
I usually drink wine in packets.
- So good to drink it with a straw. - Right.
- I drink this a lot. - You do?
Cho Sae Ho came to my house one day and drank about 30 packets.
- 30 packets? - Saying, "This is so good."
There is mulberry wine from Muan too.
- Mulberry wine? - Since I like raspberry wine,
an owner of a fruit store gave it to me as a gift.
Among Korean drinks, which is your favorite?
I like makgeolli the most.
- Makgeolli. - Makgeolli is the tastiest.
Let's move on to the freezer.
There is a lot of seafood.
Gosh. This is mackerel from Norway.
I'm from Venice.
- So I prefer seafood to meat. - I see.
- There are shrimps and sole. - Sole fillet.
- Hairtail from Jeju Island too. - Hairtail.
Hairtail and sole are usually for my baby.
All the good ingredients are for the baby.
In the drawer at the bottom, there is a lot of bread again.
- There is a lot. - A lot of bread.
- That is called pandoro. - Pandoro?
There is a city called Verona near Venice,
and it's a traditional cake from that city.
We eat two cakes, panettone and pandoro at Christmas.
- We eat them only at Christmas. - Only at Christmas?
That's the leftover from last Christmas.
- So it's traditional Italian bread. - It is.
This is a box of chicken feet.
- Do you like chicken feet? - That looks good.
- I do like them. - How do you eat them?
- Spicy chicken feet. - My wife and I just...
cook them with gochujang.
- We stir-fry and eat them. - You stir-fry them?
That's interesting. I didn't know you could eat them.
Actually, I ate them a lot even in Italy.
- Really? - We eat the whole chicken.
- We eat the chicken feet. - Is that so?
We make risotto with chicken entrails.
Some of the elders even eat the neck and the head.
- That's similar in Korea. - He's a Korean.
- They eat the head too. - We eat the whole chicken.
- Elders do eat them. - Right.
Let's check out ingredients outside the fridge.
I bet there are a lot of ingredients for pasta.
- What is this? Are these snacks? - My gosh. This...
That's amazing.
- It's called Gragnano pasta. - "Gragnano pasta".
- Gragnano. - Gragnano.
Gragnano is a region near Naples.
Pasta from that region is the most expensive and tastiest.
I bought that, but it was hard to cook with it.
So I'm hoping the chefs would cook a dish with that.
- With that? - Yes, it'd be nice.
- I see penne too. - Right.
- He has spaghetti too. - I see.
Which one is your favorite then?
I like truffle tagliatelle. It must be in the back.
- Truffle? - I can just cook the noodles.
When I drizzle good olive oil on top of them,
it makes a delicious dish.
Is it because the noodles are seasoned already?
Yes, it is. It's good with a bit of cheese.
I guess we'll get to taste authentic...
- That's right. - Italian pasta.
Direct your attention here. You'll see various spices.
- There are tons of them. - And the sauces.
- Chefs won't have an excuse today. - My gosh.
- Today... - I hope it tastes authentic today.
All right. I can't wait to find out what kind of dishes we'll see today.
Let the first round begin!
The first round with Alberto's ingredients will begin now.
The first cook-off is between Yu Hyun Su, Bukchon's delinquent...
and Yeonhui-dong's old fossil, Lee Yeon Bok.
- I have an analysis regarding tofu. - My gosh.
- Yeon Bok thrives with tofu dishes. - That's right.
He won 7 out of 7 tofu matches.
- My gosh. - Is that so?
- That's impressive. - He never lost with a tofu dish.
Whenever I cooked with tofu before,
I always cooked dishes that were influenced by the Chinese cuisine.
So I'll try to get out of my comfort zone and cook a different dish.
I'm not sure though. Lately, I haven't been winning a lot.
If I decide that it's a lost cause, I might go back to my expertise.
Back to Chinese cuisine?
- But I will keep trying. - You'll keep trying.
- An extra star badge would be nice. - Exactly.
(Hyun Su chose tofu, frozen, cooked shrimp, pea, bell pepper, zucchini,)
(button mushroom, perilla oil with sesame oil, soybean paste, arugula,)
(soft tofu, whipped cream, and frozen sweet potato.)
(Yeon Bok chose tofu, zucchini, Napa cabbage, green bean,)
(minced beef, asparagus, pasta noodle, Sriracha sauce,)
(sweet chili sauce, oyster sauce, and frozen, cooked shrimp.)
The name of the dish I will make today is...
Delicious Tofu.
- "Delicious Tofu". - "Delicious Tofu".
"Delicious Tofu".
I will cook two dishes.
I will use tofu for the first dish and make dumplings.
When we usually make dumplings,
making dumpling wrappers is quite hard and cumbersome.
- Right. - There's a traditional Korean dish.
It's called rolled dumpling.
- "Rolled dumpling". I see. - Yes, rolled dumpling.
- The wrappers are not needed. - That's right.
You'd use the starch powder.
It's very convenient and fast to cook dumplings this way.
- In the freezer, I found... - I get it now.
- frozen, cooked sweet potatoes. - Right.
I will use these sweet potatoes, tofu, and pandoro,
- the Italian bread we saw earlier. - Okay.
I will use them all together...
to make tofu gelato.
- Gelato? - Yes.
- I'll make tofu gelato. - Like the ice cream?
My goodness. If he fails to make gelato,
he would've given it a wrong name.
- That's true. - He must successfully make gelato.
If he's successful, it'd be gelato.
- If not, it'd be trouble. - It'd be trouble.
- Their sense of humor is outdated. - Or a disaster.
Today, I have prepared a dish...
just for Alberto. It's called The Best of Tofu.
- "The Best of Tofu". - "The Best of Tofu".
I will fry the whole tofu, chop the top to make a lid,
and dig up the inside of it.
- It would look like a bowl then. - That's right.
I will cook the pasta noodles, shrimps,
and various vegetables...
and put them into the tofu bowl.
I will make a separate sauce and spread it on the bottom,
- so he can enjoy it with the sauce. - That sounds delicious.
- I see. - Cabbages? I see.
- Goodness, this is... - Will you make chili oil or not?
I will make it.
- If he fries... - Chili oil is necessary.
and makes the chili oil...
- This is a Chinese dish, isn't it? - Right, right.
- This round is already over. - Well,
it sounds like he's cooking to win.
Now, we will begin the cook-off between Hyun Su and Yeon Bok.
The cook-off is between Chef Yeon Bok who plans...
to captivate Alberto's taste bud...
with his single dish and Chef Hyun Su who will demonstrate...
his ability as the Grand Master of Korean cuisine.
Will they be able to present...
the best tofu dish which satisfy Alberto's palate?
Let the first cook-off begin now!
(The 15-minute cook-off begins!)
It's Korean cuisine versus Chinese cuisine.
He's frying the whole tofu. That's cooking oil.
- He dunked it in the oil. - I thought it was water.
It's not water. It's oil.
- Unbelievable. - He put it in the oil.
- The whole tofu. - I'm sure that...
- he'd get the texture he wants, - Okay.
but when the moist seeps out, the shape might be crooked.
It'd be fine when he fries it,
but when he digs out the insides, it'd collapse.
- I'm worried that it'd collapse. - Okay.
(Chop zucchini, onions, and cabbages into moderate sizes.)
First, Yeon Bok is blanching the vegetables...
in the water.
- I believe it's the first time... - Well, you see...
that he is blanching the vegetables instead of stir-frying them.
(Chop the spring onions, and fry them in the oil.)
- What's that? Red pepper powder. - He put a lot of red pepper powder.
So far, only his recipe changed,
but this is a Chinese dish.
(Chuckling)
(Chef Hyun Su takes care of the tofu first like Yeon Bok.)
(Mash the tofu.)
- Hyun Su just mashed the tofu. - He did.
- He just mashed it. - That's how you make dumplings.
(Add salt to the mashed tofu.)
(He starts making the stuffing for the dumplings.)
(Grind the frozen, cooked shrimps with peas with a blender.)
Chef Hyun Su ground peas just now.
Dumplings without its wrappers.
It'd be similar to wonton.
- Wonton? Like the meatball? - He'll roll it in powder.
- He will steam them afterward. - They'd be like meatballs.
We also call them as skinless dumplings.
- Right. - I think that's what he's cooking.
(Knead mashed tofu, ground shrimps, and peas to make stuffing.)
(Make balls of stuffing.)
I guess he's making rolled dumplings.
(Make balls of stuffing and roll them in starch.)
(Separate the yolk and the whites of the egg.)
(Roll them in the starch...)
(and whites of the egg.)
He's coating the dumplings with the whites of the egg...
and roll them in starch again.
When I steam them after going through this process,
the starch tastes like the dumpling skin which you'll taste later.
That's what the process is for.
(Coat dumplings in the starch again after coating them in the whites.)
Chef Yu is putting them in the steamer now.
(Steam the dumplings.)
(Meanwhile, the vegetable water...)
- The water... He's discarding it. - He is...
Sam uses it as broth though.
- Right. - For him, it's vegetable broth.
Look how sad he is to see it get discarded.
- Look at him. He's devastated. - He shouldn't throw it out.
To Sam, this is ludicrous.
- Precisely. - I see.
Right now, Yeon Bok is...
putting the vegetables in the cold water to keep the texture.
- He's using ice. - Yes, he is.
(Drain water of blanched cabbages in cold water, and plate them.)
(Strain off the vegetables from the cold water.)
- He's draining the water. - That's good enough.
He should strain it through a sieve.
Should he continue using that?
I was looking forward to that.
- Yeon Bok's chili oil. - How could you not?
- His chopping sounds pleasant. - Yes, indeed.
(Chop green beans and spring onions, then mash garlics.)
(Stir-fry vegetables and minced beef with soy sauce and chili oil.)
- And the asparagus. - The asparagus.
There were white asparagus too,
but he's using the green ones.
The white ones are canned asparagus.
- That's right. They're not raw. - I see. They are canned.
Hyun Su is taking out the bell peppers.
(Chop bell peppers, zucchini, and onions in moderate sizes.)
What are you grinding now?
He's grinding the bell peppers, zucchini, and onions.
I'm going to make a sauce with this.
- I see. A sauce. - That was from earlier.
- Perilla seed oil and sesame oil. - Perilla seed oil and sesame oil.
- It smells very nice. - Right.
He's making the sauce now.
And the soybean paste is very delicious too.
(Stir-fry vegetables with soybean paste and hot water.)
(Finely chop arugula.)
Chef Hyun Su is finely chopping arugula.
- Arugula! - My gosh.
- He's using arugula. - He's finely chopping it.
He's using arugula.
(He dashes to the freezer.)
(He starts making the gelato.)
(Mix the soft tofu, sugar, and whipped cream in a chilled bowl.)
Is Hyun Su making gelato now?
- Is he whipping meringue? - Let's go!
I'll make it similar to meringue with the soft tofu.
- With soft tofu and whipped cream. - Soft tofu and whipped cream.
How will he make it cold? I'm curious to find out.
He started making gelato with eight minutes left.
Can he make it within eight minutes?
My gosh, gelato. Where is he going?
- He's putting it in the freezer. - The freezer.
After whipping it, he puts it in the freezer right away.
That's a chilled bowl.
(Put ice in the chilled bowl.)
They are potatoes. They are sweet potatoes.
- Sweet potatoes. - Sweet potatoes.
- That's tofu. - Are you grinding the tofu?
Yes. I'll grind tofu and sweet potatoes.
He's grinding them together. My gosh, that looks delicious.
So that's going to be the gelato, correct?
- Since sweet potatoes were frozen, - Yes?
it will drag down the temperature.
- The thing is... - Is that so?
(Cook the pasta noodles.)
The pasta noodles. They are pasta noodles.
(He begins making the sauce for pasta.)
(Sriracha sauce, sweet chili sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, chili oil)
He added Sriracha sauce, oyster sauce,
- and sweet chili sauce. - That's the spicy sauce.
- He also added Sriracha sauce. - Sriracha sauce.
That sauce makes everything delicious.
I think he's going to mix the noodles with the sauce.
- The pasta noodles? - Will he mix them?
He's going to put them inside the bowl he will make.
- He's probably going to put it in. - I see. That might be it.
That's interesting.
(He gingerly takes out the tofu.)
- He's taking out the tofu. - The tofu...
He took it out from the oil.
The shape must stay intact.
- The tofu. My goodness. - Look at that.
- Will it collapse? - Can he cut the fried part?
- I knew it. - That's great.
(Careful)
- He's going to dig the inside. - Exactly.
He will dig out the inside of the tofu now.
He must do this without making a mistake.
My gosh, look at his hands. They are shaking.
(Completely focused)
- His hands are shaking a lot. - Right.
He's making a square block of it to dig it out.
- He has to pull it off perfectly. - He's shaking a lot.
- Won't it be similar to a bread... - Exactly.
- Precisely. That's right. - brick toast when he digs it out?
- It's similar to that, right? - That's right.
All right. They have less than five minutes now.
- Jung Hwan, go taste a sample. - Sure, sure. Let me go over there.
Please go to the kitchen, Jung Hwan.
Dishes with tofu which Alberto loves.
That's right.
My gosh, his hands are shaking.
It's because I'm cooking with tofu.
(Poor Chef Yeon Bok.)
- I'm nervous. - You're nervous?
He did a good job of digging it out. The shape is still intact.
I guess you're going to use the inside you dug out.
I will use it for tofu sauce.
- I see. - You're cooking the tofu sauce.
- It goes back to the pan. - He's not throwing it out.
(Make the sauce with ingredients on the pan,)
(mashed tofu, hot water, and chili oil.)
(Meanwhile, Chef Hyun Su...)
(Knead ground sweet potatoes and tofu in a bowl on top of the ice.)
- He's making the ice cream there. - That's the ice cream.
All right. Hyun Su.
- It's starting to... - It looks like gelato.
- He brought it. - That's amazing.
(He takes out the soft tofu cream he's been keeping in the freezer.)
(He kneads it by adding the cream little by little to make gelato.)
- This is unbelievable. - See if it'll look like gelato.
When I knead it like this,
- it gets chewy like gelato. - Do you need to keep doing it?
- Yes. I must keep doing it. - I see.
Jung Hwan, the sauce he has been stir-frying on the pan.
- Sure, sure. - Taste Hyun Su's sauce.
Is the tofu delicious?
- This is so delicious. - It's delicious?
(It's delicious.)
- He had good soybean paste. - Is that so?
- It's like soybean paste sauce. - Okay.
This is not bad.
(Put arugula, perilla seed powder, perilla oil with sesame oil on top.)
- Hyun Su started to plate. - All right.
The presentation looks nice. Perhaps, his new haircut helped.
- Perilla seed powder. - Perilla seed powder?
(Yeon Bok takes out the pasta noodles.)
(Take out the noodles, and cool them after rinsing them with cold water.)
(Mix cold noodles with the sauce, asparagus, and blanched vegetables.)
- All right. Now, - That's a hot tofu dish.
It's going into the tofu bowl.
What was the name of it? It's like pane pasta.
There's pasta inside the bread bowl.
- Okay. - It used to be very popular once.
- There was a dish like that before. - My goodness.
- This is a western dish. - Right.
This is a new challenge for Yeon Bok.
His hands are shaking a lot.
- He's trying to be careful. - My gosh, this is...
I always get like this when I work with soft ingredients.
- He's afraid he might ruin tofu. - It's because he's being careful.
He's scared the tofu might collapse.
- One move is enough to ruin it. - He's very careful around it.
(He prepares the pandoro which will go into the gelato.)
- The key is the gelato. - That's right.
That's the Italian bread.
- Right. - Bread Italians eat on Christmas.
That's right.
- Pandoro. - Pandoro.
It seems like the gelato is coming together now.
(Put pandoro and tofu gelato in a glass cup.)
(Put the tofu sauce on top of the blanched cabbages.)
(Put the tofu bowl with pasta inside on top of the tofu sauce.)
Yeon Bok has finished. Yeon Bok has finished cooking.
He has 14 seconds left.
- He's drizzling the honey. - He doesn't have time left now.
10, 9, 8...
(The dumplings are still in the steamer.)
- The dumplings! The dumplings! - 7, 6, 5, 4,
- 3, 2, 1. - The dumplings.
- The dumplings! - The time is up.
(After ringing the bell, Yeon Bok also realizes something.)
- Hold on. Hurry. - 6, 5,
- 4, 3, - Come on. Give it back.
- 2, 1. - The dumplings!
(It becomes a scene of chaos.)
- Hey, hey. He must finish. - The dumplings!
(He touches steaming dumplings with his bare hands.)
He must finish it.
- Dumplings. What's happening? - The dumplings.
- Hey. - What were you thinking?
- Why didn't you take them out? - What was he doing?
- He has finished now. - This is the last.
- Yeon Bok added something too. - This is incredible.
- Both of them finished now. - "The dumplings, the dumplings".
It was a hectic round.
- It must have been the gelato. - Right.
- The gelato might melt. - Of course, it will melt.
We'll place it in the freezer for now.
Let's take it out again when he needs to taste it.
- Okay. - Great idea.
(Inside the fried chunk of tofu, there's mixed pasta.)
(The Best of Tofu, Yeon Bok's dish)
- My gosh. - Doesn't that look interesting?
The presentation itself is the best tofu dish I ever had.
- Is that so? - I've never seen anything like it.
That looks amazing.
All right. How should he eat the dish?
- How should he eat it? - First, why don't you...
have the pasta with shrimps?
- Eat the shrimps first. - Try the pasta...
and the shrimps first.
- Eat the tofu with the sauce. - That must be it.
It looks like a fusion dish that is targeting...
a younger clientele that you might find in Hongdae.
It does, doesn't it? It's a new challenge for Yeon Bok.
- I wonder how it tastes. - Right.
You can use the chopsticks.
It looks like a Western dish.
(Amazed)
He should try the tofu.
- It's spicy like a Chinese dish. - Okay.
The flavor is quite new since it's cooked with spaghetti.
- How is it? - This is really good.
- It's good? - This is very delicious.
Is the spaghetti cooked properly?
- It's cooked to perfection. - I see.
It's al dente. It's not overcooked.
- It's perfectly cooked. - It's firm to the bite.
(He succeeded.)
- Al dente. - Since the softness of...
pasta noodles varies a lot,
I asked Sam about it.
I asked how many minutes I should cook it for.
- I knew it. - He told me nine minutes would do.
- Sam shared his tip. - I had some help.
I should have this with the sauce, right?
It might be salty if you eat just the sauce.
- So have it with the tofu. - Eat it with the tofu.
Chopsticks might be easier for you.
All right. On the bottom...
How is it?
This is to die for.
This is a Chinese dish.
- It's from the Chinese cuisine. - Right.
It's Chinese-style sauce.
With asparagus, it's a new dish.
All right. This is a combination of Western and Chinese cuisine.
You do love tofu. You keep eating the tofu.
This tastes amazing.
The tofu is really interesting.
I haven't had tofu that'd been fried entirely,
but this is delicious.
On the outside, it's crispy.
- It's moist in the inside. - It's so soft.
The inside of it is very soft.
Thank you.
Why are you thanking him?
- Why did you say that? - Chinese cuisine...
What? What is it?
He should ask if it's good, but he keeps saying, "Thank you."
- I don't know why he's grateful. - Thank you.
This is what Italians do.
- "This is the best." - That's an Italian phrase.
- "This is the best"? It's good? - Yes.
- It means it's the best. - It is indeed.
(Tofu rolled dumplings and gelato paired with soybean paste sauce)
(Delicious Tofu, Hyun Su's dish)
You can dip the dumpling into the soybean paste sauce.
It depends on your preference.
- He coated it with whites of eggs. - That's correct.
I think you should try it with some sauce.
- "What is this?" - It's something I've never had.
This is a new flavor of tofu for you.
Tofu.
In a way, that sort of looks like a meatball.
The texture is very soft.
- Is it soft? - It's elegant and soft.
- That's how the tofu feels. - Tofu.
I guess he can taste the tofu.
The sauce is made with soybean paste from Alberto's mother-in-law.
When I tasted it earlier, I really liked it.
The sauce is to die for.
- "It's the best." - I think it'd taste...
- much tastier with the sauce. - Precisely.
(The sauce and dumpling improve the flavor together.)
- Is it good? - It looks good.
- It's good. - It's good.
- "Good". - This is excellent.
Chef Yu, thank you.
That's right. You used it right this time.
- All right. - You did it right.
- Why don't you try the gelato? - It's time for the gelato.
- The gelato. - Tofu gelato.
I hope this tastes like ice cream.
It looks like ice cream though.
- It does, doesn't it? - Something similar to that?
I can't wait to hear about this. It's made with tofu.
(How does the gelato, made in 15 minutes taste?)
(He's carefully tasting it.)
Tofu and sweet potatoes.
(Impressed)
My gosh, this is amazing.
(Smiling)
This is amazing.
- "Fracchino". - I guess bread was a good addition.
It doesn't taste like ice cream per se. It's more like mousse.
- Mousse? - It tastes like mousse.
The flavor of the sweet potatoes is very strong.
It's soft. It tastes like high-end mousse.
- He tried to make gelato. - There's the bread in the bottom.
- Let me try it with pandoro. - It looks tasty.
But it's impossible for this not to be good.
- Is that how good the bread is? - The bread itself tasted amazing.
- The bread is delicious indeed. - Right.
I bet.
- Let's see. - Gelato.
Actually,
I think the gelato is much better than the dumplings.
(He liked the gelato much more than the dumplings.)
- It's better than the dumplings? - Yes,
but he put a lot of effort into making this gelato...
- and forgot about the dumplings. - Okay.
Sam will taste the dish on behalf of everyone here.
- Thank you. - That's right. Say it now.
Right. Use it now.
Sam is tasting the pasta from The Best of Tofu.
I wonder if Sam will like it too.
(Will Sam find it delicious too?)
How is it?
This tastes like a Chinese dish, but a Korean dish at the same time.
- A Chinese and Korean dish. - Yes.
(A Chinese and Korean dish)
This is neither an authentic Chinese dish...
- nor an authentic Korean dish. - It's not a Korean dish either.
- It's right in the middle. - It's in the middle.
But this is amazing.
Why don't you eat it with the tofu?
(He takes a big bite of the fried tofu with the sauce.)
- That's fried tofu. - I bet it tastes divine.
How is it?
- This is so good. - Pardon?
Fried tofu is to die for.
- It's great. - Is the tofu delicious when fried?
- The inside is very soft. - Right.
- I wouldn't have known it was tofu. - Exactly.
It just melts in my mouth.
I want to mix rice with this sauce.
- Me too. I thought of that too. - All right.
- That's right. - It'd be great with rice.
- I bet it'd be delicious with rice. - I see.
I'm sure his dish tastes great.
Let's try Hyun Su's dish this time.
He tried it with the sauce.
My goodness, this isn't my kind of food.
(My goodness, this isn't my kind of food.)
(Disappointed)
"My goodness."
- "This isn't my kind of food." - My goodness.
He's so honest.
Alberto must have been nice about it.
No, that's not it. To be honest, it was slightly bland.
- That's right. - It's bland.
- It gets tastier with the sauce. - Right.
This is more of an acquired taste.
- The dumplings... - People who enjoy fine dining...
You know those people who like to act pretentious with food?
This would be the dish for those.
- It's pretentious? - Of course, it is.
- Why don't you try the gelato? - The gelato.
The gelato. I wonder if he will like the gelato.
- How does it taste? - It's good enough to be sold.
You think it's good enough to be sold.
It hasn't been frozen for long.
If it's frozen for longer, it will taste more like ice cream.
It will be a hit item in summer.
- A hit item. - Yes.
- Is that how good it is? - It's delicious.
Now, Alberto needs to make a decision.
Number one is Yu Hyun Su's Delicious Tofu.
Number two is Lee Yeon Bok's The Best of Tofu.
Please make up your mind...
and press the button.
This is hard.
- I pressed the button. - Me too.
(Hold on.)
Sam pressed the button too.
Sam, you don't need to press it.
I see. I am sorry.
Which dish did you vote for?
- "This is hard." - Sam pressed the button, too.
Let's see which dish Sam voted for.
(My goodness.)
(Which dish did he choose?)
- The two of them... - The two of them...
They chose different dishes.
(They chose different dishes.)
Even though it wasn't necessary, Sam voted heartily...
and picked a different dish from Alberto.
Please show us the result!
Will it be the rising Yu Hyun Su or the following Lee Yeon Bok?
Please show us the result!
Which dish did Alberto choose? The result is...
The result is...
(Yu Hyun Su won.)
(Delicious Tofu won.)
- Yu Hyun Su won! - Oh, my goodness.
Yu Hyun Su won.
(Hyun Su continues to rise.)
Gelato won.
(I think Lee Yeon Bok should have won.)
Lee Yeon Bok's dish was more advanced.
- However, - However?
if I think about which one is the tofu dish of my life,
Yu Hyun Su's dish was unique...
- and better-suited my tastes. - I see.
- He rises to the top. - Three badges.
Yu Hyun Su had three wins.
Thank you.
(He rises to the top with 3 wins.)
You are cool.
Three wins.
(Delicious Tofu won.)
(Delicious Tofu by Yu Hyun Su)
This is the second match on Alberto's fridge.
Tony Jung,
the second contender of the season...
and Sam Kim, the longtime member of Chef and My Fridge will compete.
(Tony Jung versus Sam Kim)
They will make traditional Italian dishes.
It's more nerve-wracking to compete against the new chef.
Tony, I heard that you took Cheongsimhwan for your nerves.
I am nervous to visit the show for the first time,
but I will do a good job.
- All of his answers are robotic. - I know.
- Isn't he a robot? - You talked about human charms,
but you seem more like a robot than anyone.
Can you even hear us?
- Yes, I can hear you well. - Can you hear me well?
(He is the AI chef.)
- My goodness. - His face doesn't change.
- You are right. - Happiness, sadness, and such...
- don't show on his face. - He is different.
He looked the same when he made an entrance.
Which one of them...
will captivate the tastes of the Italian man?
The winner of this match...
will be able to say he is the handsomer one.
- He will have that right. - That's right.
That's right.
(Drinking)
Your throat must be dry.
He drank water from the bottle.
(Chef Tony Jung chose tenderloin, salt, truffle oil, herbs,)
(porcini mushroom, wine, truffle tagliatelle, cream,)
(Asiago cheese, Pecorino cheese, and asparagus.)
(Chef Sam Kim chose mackerel, sole, minced beef, asparagus,)
(green beans, zucchini, bell pepper, Gragnano pasta, French fries,)
(anchovies, capers, Mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, Pecorino cheese,)
(cream, ciabatta, arugula, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.)
Tony, which traditional Italian dish will you make?
AlphaGo.
AlphaGo?
Isn't AlphaGo a computer program?
You said you will make a dish with human charms.
I thought he was introducing himself.
"I am AlphaGo."
- Is AlphaGo the name of the dish? - That's hilarious.
It's pasta and meat that are eaten in the Alps.
(AlphaGo)
Pasta and meat that are eaten in the Alps.
- That's why it's called AlphaGo. - AlphaGo.
That's incredible.
Northern Italian dishes use...
a lot of cream and cheese.
I will use those elements to cook pasta.
Then I will also make a primitive steak.
A primitive steak?
He wants to make a dish with human charms,
but the title of the dish is AlphaGo.
The dish I will make is...
This Is The New Kind of Baccala.
- Baccala! - Baccala!
Please tell us what kind of a dish baccala is.
To make baccala, you make a mousse with salted fish...
and add bread or cream.
Since I neither have time nor salted fish,
I will use sole and mackerel...
for the mouthfeel.
Then I will use pasta.
Gragnano pasta. It will have a sauce of meat and white wine.
Also, I have never used anchovies to my heart's content.
I always worried if the customers would like them.
Since we have an Italian today,
I will use a lot of anchovies to make a salad.
- Anchovies salad. - Sam will be busy today.
You know what baccala is.
Baccala is the dish that represents my hometown, Venice.
I didn't know that.
I don't know if he will be able to make everything in 15 minutes.
- I am worried. - It will be like picking a star...
from the star.
The match will begin.
With an Italian dish on a different level,
he will crush the contender.
The longtime member of Chef and My Fridge, Sam Kim.
With the global techniques he honed in various countries,
he will make dishes with human charms.
The contender, Tony Jung. It's a match between the two chefs.
Who will win and emerge as the handsomer one?
We will now start the 15-minute cook-off!
The 15-minute cook-off has started.
The contender, Tony,
is competing against Sam.
AlphaGo is lagging for a second.
I see.
He is showing us his human charms from the start.
- You are right. - He doesn't work like a robot.
No, he doesn't.
- Tony is left-handed. - You are right.
Salt and pepper.
(Season the tenderloin with salt, pepper, and truffle oil.)
(What is he putting inside the blender?)
(Various herbs)
(Blend various herbs, porcini mushrooms, and water.)
- Porcini mushrooms. - Porcini mushrooms.
- Porcini mushrooms. - What is he making...
with porcini mushrooms?
He is blending porcini mushrooms.
What are you blending?
- I am making smoking chips. - He is making smoking chips.
- What? - Smoking chips?
With porcini mushrooms...
(He shapes the mixture...)
Now...
(and burns it in the steamer.)
- He will add aroma that way. - It seems like it.
(Alberto is unfamiliar with the method.)
- He took out wine. - A pack of wine.
(He pours red wine in the bowl.)
(What did he put inside?)
- Red wine and... - What did he add?
(Cloth?)
Why are you wetting cheesecloth with wine?
It will be made like suyuk.
Wrapping it around the meat will add the aroma.
He is adding the aroma of wine.
He will wrap meat with it.
- Only your son eats that meat. - That's right.
I will finally be able to eat it.
Please cook the steak well.
I haven't seen that method before.
Sam begins to cook mackerel.
Baccala is usually made with cod...
that has been salted and dried.
Salt cooks the meat once.
He is cooking the fish...
to create that mouthfeel.
Sam is using the meat Alberto usually eats.
The meat he usually eats.
It's meat that doesn't go to his son.
(Zucchini, onion, and bell pepper)
- He always grills the vegetables. - That's right.
- That's naturalism. - Naturalism.
(I am busy.)
(Blend garlic and olive oil to make garlic oil.)
He measured the amount of salt to add.
He is like AlphaGo.
Now comes the pasta.
It's pasta that contains truffles.
It's delicious pasta...
you can't mess up.
Tony is using an interesting method.
In the middle of cooking the pasta in a boiling water,
- he added ice water. - What does that do?
The drastic temperature change makes the pasta chewy.
That's how noodles are cooked in Korean dishes.
It's a method that makes the pasta chewy.
(It's time for Sam to cook pasta.)
(He blanches the vegetables.)
(He puts pasta in the water he cooked the vegetables in.)
(My goodness.)
(Frozen French fries)
(He scatters them.)
Sam is busily working on...
- French fries and pasta. - It's hectic here.
That's right.
He is all over the place.
(Add blanched asparagus and green beans to the grill pan.)
- Are those anchovies? - Yes.
Now he's using anchovies.
He is adding a lot of anchovies.
That's right. The taste of anchovies...
- could be unfamiliar... - That's right.
to Koreans.
Since an Italian man will judge his dish,
he is adding a generous amount of anchovies.
(Mix anchovy oil, minced anchovies, lemon juice, garlic oil, capers,)
(mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, salt, and Pecorino cheese.)
Sam is especially busy today.
He is running around.
He doesn't want to be the uglier one.
(His looks depend on the match.)
He is determined to win today.
(Blend cooked mackerel, sole, whipped cream, Pecorino cheese,)
(and boiled French fries to make baccala.)
Sam is working very fast.
Only eight minutes remain.
He is taking out the pasta.
Already? That's fast.
- He will cook it again. - Will he cook it again.
Maybe he will stir-fry it.
Yes, I will stir-fry it.
You will stir-fry it.
That's why he took it out fast.
(He will stir-fry it with sauce.)
(He cools the pasta over ice water.)
(Stir-fry butter and minced onions in a pot.)
(Dancing)
Tony is in a hurry.
Other chefs run around,
but he moves like this.
He is feminine. Look at that.
(Change step, march.)
Look at the way he moves.
He moves carefully from side to side.
He cooks in a gentle way.
- He does it in a gracious way. - That's right.
He does it in a gracious way.
(Pour white wine and add cooked pasta.)
He will stir-fry the pasta.
It looks like asparagus will be added.
(Add water that was used to soak porcini mushroom, cream,)
(and cheese to make cream pasta.)
(Pecorino cheese)
Is it okay to leave the steak for so long?
Yes, it's okay.
- Is it okay? - 19 seconds remain.
I see. 19 seconds remain.
He is AlphaGo!
- He is AlphaGo! - That's incredible.
19 seconds. He is AlphaGo.
He had his eyes on the clock.
He looked at the clock even though he pretended otherwise.
Tony is a robot.
Seong Joo.
- Please go out in the field. - Okay.
One of them will be determined as the uglier one.
From here,
I can smell the meat getting smoked.
- Really? - It's a strong smell.
My goodness, it's burnt!
(Is the cheesecloth burnt?)
- Is it burnt? - Is the meat burnt?
The meat sticks to the bottom.
- The meat sticks to the bottom. - That won't do.
The meat should come off.
It came off. It's out of the steamer.
He slices the meat now.
It's nicely cooked. The meat looks fine.
It's not bad.
That's incredible.
Sam is doing many things.
How many burners is he using?
- He is using four. - Is he using four?
That's incredible.
(Minced beef and porcini mushrooms)
(Cook carrot, onion, minced beef, porcini mushroom, salt, pepper,)
(garlic oil, white wine, beef stock to make ragu.)
What is that for?
- It's for pasta. - It's sauce for pasta.
- Let me taste the sauce. - That's right.
This is a traditional Italian dish.
- How will the sauce taste? - I am really curious.
(Eating)
Will he be able to win in terms of looks and taste?
It tastes a bit like bulgogi.
- Really? - It's not Italian.
Once he adds cheese...
- Will the taste change? - Of course it will.
This pasta is getting cooked.
I will taste the sauce.
Does it have the taste of Italy?
Yes, it does.
My goodness.
It's the taste of Italy.
Does it have human charms?
It's the work of AlphaGo.
- Really? - This taste...
is based on exact calculations.
Bread goes on the grill pan.
(Toast ciabatta on the grill pan...)
(and mix vegetables with anchovy dressing for a salad.)
- There it comes. - It's a salad.
The salad with anchovies is coming along.
The salad with anchovies.
(Put baccala on toasted ciabatta.)
- He got baccala ready. - That's incredible.
He got baccala ready.
(Top the salad with garlic oil,)
(pepper, arugula, and Pecorino cheese.)
It looks like a proper Italian dish.
Now, pasta goes into the sauce. It's a unique pasta.
Sam is wrapping up.
You need to get ready to finish up.
35 seconds remain.
You need to plate the dishes.
Tony rolled up the pasta with chopsticks.
The dish looks delicious.
20 seconds remain.
He is adding the sauce.
Where is Sam?
- I am here. - He is grating cheese.
It's Pecorino cheese.
Pecorino cheese.
- Pecorino cheese. - Pecorino cheese.
10 seconds remain.
- In 10, 9, 8, 7, - In 10, 9, 8, 7,
- 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. - 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Sam is done.
Tony is done.
("AlphaGo" is ready.)
(The match of traditional Italian dishes ends.)
- That was incredible. - That was incredible.
Both of you did a good job.
Tony, what do you think?
Did the dish come out as well as you expected?
It's quite a challenge...
to finish a dish in 15 minutes.
Sam made more dishes than me.
I think he is incredible.
Now that the match has ended, he respects Sam.
That's right.
You find respect for the chefs once you try the process.
He even put his hands behind his back.
I told you...
- he folded his arms at first. - Now, his hands are behind him.
It's bound to happen.
- It's only natural. - That's right.
(Meat sauce pasta with anchovy salad and baccala)
(Sam Kim's "This Is The New Kind of Baccala")
- Here I go. - All right.
Will it be a traditional Italian dish?
How does the pasta taste?
(Kiss)
- That's good. - What does that mean?
Buonissimo!
- That means it's tasty. - That means it's tasty.
- Buonissimo. - Buonissimo.
It's really tasty.
The pasta was cooked perfectly.
Ragu is usually boiled...
for over four hours.
It usually takes a long time to make.
To cut the time,
I boiled minced beef in a separate pot.
Then I added broth to the pasta.
- He is Superman. - He is Superman.
Is it traditional?
- It's proper pasta. - My goodness.
It's really tasty.
He is experienced in making pasta.
- He can feel it. - He can feel it.
Sam made it the traditional way.
You should try baccala this time.
- Baccala. - Try baccala and salad.
Tomato, mozzarella,
and a lot of anchovies are in the salad.
He really looks like an Italian.
Do you eat it with bread?
It's tastier if you eat bread with the salad.
I hope it doesn't taste fishy.
Alberto tries baccala with bread.
(Nodding)
- He isn't reacting right away. - Is it traditional Italian?
It's tasty.
- It's tasty. - It's very tasty.
Is it traditional Italian...
or a Koreanized?
It's not Koreanized. It's Italian.
Is it Italian?
Pepper, salt, and olive oil complete the Italian cuisine.
This time, he will try salad that contains anchovies.
There are mozzarella...
and tomatoes.
The Italian man is impressed.
Seriously.
(Excited)
The Italian man will taste...
the Italian salad and determine if it's traditional or not.
This one is tasty too.
He says this one is tasty too.
(Circling his hand)
(Humming in approval)
There it is.
Did you add vinegar?
I added lemon.
- Lemon. - Lemon.
We don't usually use anchovies and mozzarella together...
since the tastes are too different. However, he made it work with lemon.
(Lemon juice brought anchovies and mozzarella together.)
(Tenderloin with aroma of wine and pasta with aroma of mushroom)
(Tony Jung's AlphaGo)
Judging by the presentation,
Tony did a better job.
(Surprised)
The presentation of his dish is more Italian.
(He tries the cream sauce pasta.)
(My goodness.)
It's really tasty as well.
(My goodness.)
- He did it right. - Did he do it right?
He did it right.
That means it's traditional Italian.
That's a high compliment.
- Not many people have said that. - I know.
I am impressed...
- with the aroma of mushroom. - The aroma of mushroom.
Italians are good at adding the aroma of mushroom...
- to pasta. They like it. - That's right.
They like it.
He is eating a lot.
He is eating voraciously.
(Alberto is absorbed in the taste of home.)
The dish is almost perfect,
but the pasta is a bit overcooked.
- It's overcooked. - It's overcooked.
The pasta is overcooked.
The sauce is perfect.
It's time to try the smoked meat.
(Next comes the smoked tenderloin with the aroma of wine.)
The color of the meat is a work of art.
It has been smoked.
Alberto finally tastes the meat only his son ate.
It's the meat only Leo ate.
Without a word, he takes another piece.
(He takes another piece.)
(Sniffing)
- It smells incredible. - Does it smell incredible?
What did you use besides wine?
To smoke the meat, I used oregano, thyme,
sage, and rosemary.
Then I added porcini mushroom...
and added a bit of water. I used that to smoke the meat.
Let me describe the smell.
It smells like meat that was grilled in the fireplace...
in the forest region of Italy.
It has the taste of fire...
and the smell of wood.
The name of the dish is fitting.
We will taste the dishes now.
Let's start with Sam's dishes.
This Is The New Kind of Baccala. I have never tried baccala.
Jung Hwan is familiar...
with the traditional Italian food.
I tried dishes from all regions...
- when I traveled for games. - That's right.
- I ate a lot of Italian food. - He has lived in Italy.
Let's listen to Jung Hwan's opinion too.
I'm not Italian,
but I can feel that it's somewhat authentic Italian.
How do you know that?
I don't know.
- You think it's authentic? - I just think so.
This reminds me of the time when I was a soccer player.
- It does? - Yes.
We used to sit at the table in a row...
and had dinner together while talking the day before a match.
It reminded me of that time.
I can smell the similar fragrance.
I can't go back to those times, but...
Do you want to go back to Italy?
No, I don't want to.
- Please come. - It's okay to go there.
He's so afraid of the Mafia.
- You've already been there. - Goodness.
Let's try Tony Jung's AlphaGo this time.
This is incredible.
- Because he used truffle in there. - The fragrance is great.
(Sam takes a bite too.)
The cream sauce goes well with it.
If I had eaten it while it was still warm,
I might have cried.
This is so special.
It's really delicious.
The taste of the smoked meat is...
awesome.
He really elaborated it.
- I admit it. - Oh, it's so good.
Did you two try each other's dish?
- Did you? - Each other's dish.
First of all, the fragrance of porcini is so good...
and the fragrance of truffle lingers afterwards.
It was so nice. The smoked meat was great.
It I had eaten it while it was warm, it would have been even better.
It's delicious pasta.
I can feel that he has a lot of...
know-how accumulated on Chef and My Fridge for a long time.
- Sounds like a comment programmed. - It's like it was input in advance.
Why don't you show the sentences on your chest?
(Like this?)
Now, it's time for you to make a decision.
Press number 1 for Tony Jung and number 2 for Sam Kim.
Goodness. If I were him, I would give up.
Jung Hwan, as you also lived in Italy,
I'd like you to choose either one of them too.
That's a good idea.
- He's in trouble. - Gosh.
- He's in big trouble. - Press the button.
You said you'd give up, but I'm curious.
I have a specific reason for my choice.
- You do? - Yes, I do.
Okay. If they get each one of the votes, it means both are authentic,
but only one of them gets both the votes...
- It's like being hit in the face. - Right.
- Let's not do this then. - You pressed it already, right?
- I didn't. - You already did.
He pressed it now. Who did the two choose?
The result is...
(Screaming)
One of them is hit in the face.
- They chose the same chef. - They chose the same one.
- They made the same choice. - They did.
- They made the same choice. - Goodness.
One of them is authentic and the other turned out to be...
- Fake. - fake now.
- I said I didn't want to do this. - Gosh.
I'm really sorry, Sam Kim.
I said I didn't want to make a choice.
- That person will be hurt a lot. - Tell me about it.
- He has to keep seeing that person. - With the pride of an Italian chef,
- he has come this far. - I know.
So who made the authentic...
- Italian dish? - This is not right.
- This is not right. - Let's find out...
- who Alberto and Jung Hwan... - We can't do this.
chose. Who did they choose?
Gosh. I can't bear to see it.
Who is the winner?
(Sam's This Is The New Kind of Baccala wins.)
It's Sam Kim.
- How could you trick me? - It's Sam Kim.
- Goodness. - He won the cook-off.
Sam Kim was chosen.
- Good job. - I almost cried.
(Jung Hwan completely tricked him.)
It was a cook-off for authentic Italian dishes.
Both Alberto and Jung Hwan chose Sam Kim.
They did.
I liked it because it was like homemade food made by my mom.
The sauce was great. If I had more time,
- I'd have eaten it all with bread. - With bread.
You liked it that much?
I was shocked when I first tried anchovies in Italy.
So I can't eat anchovies.
But I ate the anchovies Sam cooked and it was quite okay.
I realized that I can eat anchovies now...
and I was so impressed.
Sam Kim is smiling so broadly now.
- He looks really happy. - He does.
- He is so delighted. - He is.
- I didn't expect this result. - Seriously.
This is his first time on this show, and I feel sorry for looking happy.
It's because I was completely tricked.
I thought I should try Korean or Japanese dishes from next time...
because I felt so much pressure. Thank goodness I won. Thank you.
- It turned out that Sam is... - Sam wins.
- handsomer than Tony. - Handsomer than Tony.
- I'm jealous of him. - He must be happy.
- Do you admit it, Tony? - Yes, I admit it.
He admits it.
- He admits it right away. - He is cool.
He is a good cook that is handsome. He has it all.
Sam is presented with the second star badge.
Congratulations, handsome Sam.
(Sam beats Tony with his looks too.)
(This Is The New Kind of Baccala)
(International Food Part 2, Are We Going to Ghana?)
(It's authentic Ghanaian dishes this time.)
(Let's start cooking Ghanaian dishes.)
(You studied Ghanaian dishes, didn't you?)
(When you make Ghanaian food, you're supposed to dance.)
(They have fun even when they cook.)
(It's a country of cheerful energy.)
(Do you have Ghanaian ingredients in the fridge?)
(It's like a Ghanaian convenience store is in the fridge.)
(Some are the ones you can find only in Sam's fridge.)
(There are plenty of precious Ghanaian ingredients.)
What is this?
(He even has Ghanaian ice cream.)
(He asks Ghanaian dishes that can cure his homesickness.)
(The cook-off for Ghanaian dishes starts!)
(With unfamiliar ingredients and recipe,)
(will they really be able to make Ghanaian dishes?)
(While making Ghanaian food,)
(you can't miss dance time.)
(They look exactly like authentic Ghanaian dishes.)
(They do look like Ghanaian food.)
(He takes a bite as he would in Ghana.)
(Slurping)
(Smacking)
What kind of taste is this?
What on earth is Ghanaian food anyway?
(Will they fail...)
(to reproduce the taste of his homeland?)
(This is it!)
(Thanks to the taste of his homeland,)
(cheerful Sam Okyere is back.)
(Chef and My Fridge)
- Does it remind of your homeland? - Yes, it does.
