with part two of our special anniversary show.

- 14. - He has one more than me.
I only have 13. I need one more.

Let me introduce today's fridge owners!
Come on out!
They're today's fridge owners!
Two final round bosses, who've made their marks as legends in Korean baseball!
It's Hong Sung-heon and Oh Seung-hwan!
- It's nice to see you guys! - Welcome to the show.
It's very nice to meet you.
If we have Ahn Jung-hwan for soccer, we have this person in baseball.
He's the best-looking in the baseball world.
He retired after 18 years as a baseball player.
Now, he's come back as the first Korean MLB coach in America!
It's Coach Hong, Hong Sung-heon!
- Nice to meet you! - Welcome. Good to see you.
Our next guest is more amazing.
- He was Korea's best closing pitcher. - That's right!
The stone Buddha is known as the final boss in Korea and America.
- It's Oh Seung-hwan! - Oh Seung-hwan!
- Nice to meet you! - Oh Seung-hwan!
- The final boss! - Oh Seung-hwan is on a variety show!
It's hard to see them on variety shows, but
they've joined us for our anniversary show.
- I don't think he's happy to see us. - Who?
He probably wanted soccer-players instead of baseball-players.
Are you trying to hold back?
I would've hated it more if a soccer-player was here.
I believe Ahn Jung-hwan is the same age as me.
- Are you two the same age? - Weren't you born in 1976?
- I graduated in '94. - You're a year older? - I was born early in '76.
I'm sorry. I'll think of you as an older brother.
Are you rubbing that in?
I'm not trying to make him think of me as an older brother, I'm mentioning it.
Let me ask you, is soccer or baseball harder to play?
I played soccer, so I think soccer is harder.
He always says that.
He says, "Baseball-players aren't really athletes".
"They sit down during the game and they play when it's their turn!".
- That's what he said! - I know.
Ahn Jung-hwan didn't have to run much since he was a striker.
- He only runs when the ball comes. - Defense is harder.
He gets all the glory without any work.
- He gets all the glory! - That's a good point.
- You're right. It's very true. - No, I'm just joking.
He'd accept it if Hong Myung-Bo said that to him.
He'd say, "Jung-hwan got lucky because he hung around the goal".
There's differences between soccer and baseball.
Do you believe soccer is a harder sport than baseball, Seung-hwan?
- I believe playing any sport is hard. - That's true.
In baseball, you have time to rest during the game...
- but you don't get to rest, since it's a year-long sport. - Yes, they play every day.
- They play every day. - How many days a week do you play soccer?
- About two games a week. - I could even play that.
(Straight forward)
You can't complain after playing 2 games!
It's not a sport when you can eat when you play!
That's true too!
You can even pee during the game, we can't do that!
- You're out if they make a substitution! - You're right about that.
Have you tried running when you needed to poop?
- Why are you asking me? - You have to wait 45 minutes to use the bathroom!
Do you know how hard that was?
I think we need to end comparisons here.
(We respect all athletes and their respective sports)
It's the first time I've seen him fight with a guest.
Alright, alright.
Have you two ever played on the same team before?
- No, we never did. - Only on the national team.
I see, the national team.
Then, have you two hung out before?
Have you two hung out before?
No, never.
He cut you off without even thinking about it!
No, never!
He's very blunt today.
There could've been a time, if you thought about it.
We've never even eaten together before.
- Let's say that counts as strike one. - A fast ball.
It was a fast ball towards the inside.
- You two must not know each other well. - No.
Oh Seung-hwan and I are about seven years apart. Isn't it seven years?
That was before. That doesn't work since you're retired.
(Age difference only works when you're both playing)
He's telling you, you're a coach and he's still playing.
The more important thing is that he's a major league team's coach.
- Yes. - He should abide by major league standards.
- He's trying to use seniority against me. - Major league doesn't have that.
- Major league players don't count age. - This is Korea, man!
I don't think he's adjusted to American life yet.
Looks like he got a hit in.
He had a strike, but got a base hit.
He's changed a lot. He's very Americanized.
What was he like before?
He always looked up to his seniors and took seniority seriously.
- He's changed a lot. - He's American-style.
I respect him a lot, when we talk baseball but this is a variety show.
Should I act stoic on a variety show as well?
He's saying, Hong Sung-heon doesn't know variety shows.
- I thought Hong Sung-heon would adjust better on variety shows. - I know.
It's better to get them with one-liners instead of talking too much.
It's better to get them with one-liners.
- What's he going to do? - He got him again.
- This is no joke. - Have you been on a lot of variety shows, Seung-hwan?
I try not to go on shows.
I know. He doesn't do a lot of appearances...
but he seems to know how variety shows flow.
People might say I was rude on this show.
You're really funny.
I didn't have a good season this year.
- No, you did alright. - I'll do better next season after this show.
- Of course. - I like your thinking.
- You'll do better after we feed you a good meal. - Of course!
I'm sure you'll do better next season.
When I was an active player, I could never get the upper hand on Seung-hwan.
I could never tell what he would throw by his expression.
When I saw other pitchers, I could tell...
whether they'd throw a change-up or a fast ball by their expression or habits.
In Seung-hwan's case, no matter how much I tried winking or frowning at him...
he'd never change his expression.
I was got so mad.
How was your batting average against Oh Seung-hwan?
I had three hits out of 27 times at bat. I barely averaged .100 against him.
You only had 3 hits against him?
Yes. I went against him 23 times, but only had 3 base runs.
- That's amazing. - I really wanted to hit against him.
I did poorly against Oh Seung-hwan and Ryu Hyun-Jin.
I was able to keep a .300 average after they left for America.
You averaged a .300?
What's going on here?
He's the Hong Sung-heon!
(Gets up)
Time out! Time out. Hey! Come here! Come here!
(People try to stop the situation from getting serious)
He's a coach for the San Diego Padres!
- He was shaken up by him. - Yes, I think so.
I think that's why I could never get a hit off him.
He's really cool.
Oh Seung-hwan only came out as a closer.
You still couldn't hit off him when he only pitched straight-forward fast balls?
That's what Seung-hwan does.
I must've looked easy to him because he only threw fast balls.
He literally gave me fast balls to hit.
(No, that's not true)
I would get even more upset since I couldn't hit them.
You retired without being able to get a hit.
Yes, I'm thinking of just sitting down and having a meal with him.
- You're trying to be cool about it. - yes.
Did you ever feel that way when you were playing?
You wanted to beat someone, but they were too good.
Was there a player like that?
- I only had to deal with the defense and goal keeper. - Yes, that's right.
I don't think I faced a really tough goal keeper.
I didn't have any difficult defense players in Korea as well.
The defense wasn't hard for him either.
He's saying anything since he's retired!
When I went to foreign countries, everyone seemed hard.
- Really? - Yes, they were all good.
I really understand what you're saying.
It's because we play against each other often.
We know each other's strong and weak points.
Lee Woon-jae was the best.
- Goal keeper, Lee Woon-jae? - He's mentally weak.
Really?
When I tell him, I'm kicking one way and kick the other...
way, he'll jump to the side I told him I would kick.
- Really? - He trusts me too much.
- He's a great goal keeper though. - He's weak against certain people.
It's sort of like their relationship.
The striker and goal keeper have the same relationship.
I see, it's only certain people.
Lee Woon-jae is my college senior alumni.
- Is that so? - Yes.
I guess both of you guys got screwed over.
- They have that in common. - I guess so.
He's a year older than me, but he's more like my friend.
(Giggling)
He's able to say this because they're very close to one another.
Coach Hong Sung-heon is the first Korean coach in major league baseball.
He's the very first.
The first time I even thought about trying something new...
was when Park Chan-ho called me and asked if I had thought about my career.
Park Chan-ho was an adviser to the San Diego Padres.
I thought it might take about three years, but fortunately, it only took a year.
Let's give him a round of applause.
It looks like Park Chan-ho helped you out with networking.
Yes, he helped me out a lot.
There must've been a language barrier. You had to have put in a lot of hard work.
I think that was my biggest hurdle.
I was most worried about the language barrier as well.
I didn't know any English before I went there.
That's got to be really hard.
- I did find a way to survive and get hired faster. - What was it?
- To learn reaction words. - Reaction words?
If they're in a good mood and talking to me, it shows on their expression.
I'd answer back, "Oh, really? Awesome!".
What did they say to you?
- I didn't know what they were talking about though. - You don't?
- It's only by their expression. - Yes, if they're showing off their new cell phone...
I'd say, "Wow, it's good!".
- Beautiful! - Yes, I'd only use reaction words. - Oh, really?
Once, a player came to me and told me about his break up.
I could definitely tell he was upset.
I said, "I'm sorry, man".
"Really? Oh, my god". That's what I would say to him.
"Really" and "Oh, my god"?
- You connected emotionally with them. - I tried looking for things we had in common.
They began opening up after I did that.
- The coaches opened up as well. - You didn't need to learn a lot of English!
- No, I didn't. - Just expressions.
Yes, English expressions.
Did you get to work at 5 in the morning every day because of your language barrier?
If we have a 7 AM practice, I'm there at 5:30.
- Just in case? - Yes, just in case.
- Since I didn't understand... - No, you couldn't have.
I was the first one there and the last one to leave.
I'd go in the morning and reviewed our schedule for the day.
I used my phone to translate each item on our schedule.
I didn't know what "lift" meant. I realized lift meant they were weight-training.
Lift meant we were lifting weights.
I wrote down everything and studied each word.
They began to acknowledge that I was a hard-worker.
Did you keep an eye on Seung-hwan while training to be a coach?
Of course, I watched him a lot.
He didn't end his season very well this year.
I wanted to ask Seung-hwan a couple of questions.
I saw his arm was to the side when he was throwing.
I believe that's why his balls dropped speed at the end.
The ball can't help but lose speed when your throwing arm is to the side.
- That's how people get home runs from you. - That's your analysis.
The San Diego coach has given his analysis.
I think he's much more meticulous since he became a coach.
- You're right. - He would've had more hits...
if he applied this during his active years.
Hey! Get out here! Let's go!
(The bench clears again)
Wait a second. Come here.
(Things are heating up due to Seung-hwan's attacks)
- The bench has to clear together. - You know baseball.
He would've had more hits if he made these realizations when he was active.
He doesn't let anything go, does he?
I'm personally curious about something.
I know Korean players and American players all have different signs.
Are the signs different?
I don't think they're different.
I think it's different for each team, but pretty similar for all countries.
Let's say the catcher gives the pitcher a sign...
- but the pitcher... - He keeps shaking his head on the mound.
What's that situation about?
In situations like that, a rookie pitcher...
would never be allowed to shake their heads at a veteran catcher.
- Do you agree? - I didn't get any other sign but to throw fast balls.
- His fast balls were hard. - You couldn't hit his fast balls.
If it's a veteran catcher, rookies wouldn't dare shake their heads on the mound.
They'd get in a lot of trouble.
Did you ever shake your head when you first went into MLB?
I don't usually shake off pitches.
If I don't want to throw a certain pitch, then I'll throw a ball on purpose.
You don't throw toward the strike zone?
That's awesome. That's why he's successful.
- There's a reason for his success. - Don't pitchers and catcher have to be close?
Yes, they need to get along.
The pitcher and catcher stay together during company dinners as well.
- I see. - The pitchers and catchers have their...
parties separately from the outfielders.
Do soccer players separate their parties by strikers and defenders?
No, we just all eat together.
We all eat together.
- Honestly, we buy drinks for mid-fielders. - I thought so.
I tell them to pass the ball to me since I want to put in the goal.
That's right! The mid-fielder has to choose which striker to pass the ball.
There's a one and one chance of them getting an assist.
He can pass it to either of two, but Jung-hwan bought him drinks.
That's what he's talking about.
It's weird, but an athlete's personal life shows on the field.
Between close friends.
What about meals? How did you take care of meals while being a coach?
For breakfast and lunch, I'd eat what the San Diego Padres catered for us.
For dinner, I'd always eat Korean food.
I don't know how to cook, so I would make instant rice in the microwave oven.
All the Asian markets sell beef bone soup.
I'd buy those and have soup for dinner.
Before we look into Coach Hong Sung-heon's fridge...
let's see Hong Sung-heon's wish dishes. Reveal his wish dishes!
What kinds of dishes would Coach Hong like?
Coach Hong's "World Chicken Series".
Out of pork, beef and chicken, I like chicken the best.
Some of the dishes I like are chicken soup or whole chicken soup.
I like all sorts of chicken dishes.
I believe the main ingredient is chicken for his first dish.
What is "Major Korean Dish"? What kind of Korean dish are you referring to?
Once a year, the coaches are asked to bring their country's best dish...
and cook the dish for the team.
- In America? - Yes, in America.
This year, I made ramen for everyone.
I'd like for the chefs to make a dish that represents Korea.
A dish that's easy enough for me to make and can represent Korea.
- The dish will be foreigners. - It should suit their taste buds.
Yes, a dish that they can easily eat.
"Major Korean Dish".
These are the chefs, who will be cooking with
ingredients from Hong Sung-heon's fridge.
Raymon Kim, Sam Kim, Yoo Hyun-soo and Kim Poong.
That's the group of chefs for this battle.
You should keep in mind what group you're in while looking in the fridge.
We'll now reveal ingredients from Hong Sung-heon's fridge.
- Your whole family uses this fridge, right? - Yes.
I was surprised you guys took the fridge without any warning.
Yes, we're for real. There's no practice round.
They came into the house and took the fridge without giving us time to practice.
- I was really shocked. - That's how we do things.
- Who is in your family? - I have a son and daughter with my wife.
Isn't your daughter, Hwa-ri, an actress?
Yes, Hwa-ri is an actress.
We have her picture.
Does Hwa-ri take after you or her mother?
- I think she took the best parts of us. - Yes, she's very pretty.
I received some information and I hear...
that your wife used to run a restaurant.
Yes, she used to run a Italian-fusion restaurant.
She owned it.
He suddenly used honorifics with her.
I think we know how much you respect her.
I know she's older than you, but aren't you taking it too far?
Is that the way you always speak to her?
That would mean there will be a lot of ingredients in your fridge.
Well, my kids love to eat and so do I.
My wife is good about making food quickly, so our fridge is always filled.
- She must cook fast. - Yes, she's really fast.
Let's see what the situation is like.
Let's take a look at Coach Hong Sung-heon's fridge.
Let me reveal Coach Hong Sung-heon's fridge!
- It's just as I thought! - It's very clean.
Let me reveal Coach Hong Sung-heon's fridge!
(Filled to the brim)
- It's just as I thought! - It's very clean.
There's a lot of food in here. Yes, there is!
I see a variety of Western and East Asian ingredients.
Korean ingredients.
- I'm starting to see side dishes. - Yes, side dishes.
Like this.
Do you like marinated radish?
Yes, I like all marinated vegetables.
I think he prefers Korean-cuisine.
What's your favorite kinds of Korean dishes?
- I like all stews. - Stews!
Kimchee stew and especially, jageuri.
- Jageuri. - Yes, Kim Poong made it last time.
I really enjoy having that and look for restaurants that make it.
- You're good at making that. - He likes things with thick broths.
- Jageuri. - Chili paste stew.
- That's Kim Poong's specialty.
- You have the same taste as Kim Poong. - It's been awhile since my last win.
Will Kim Poong win the Korean-cuisine chef?
Kim Poong might have an advantage today.
- Jageuri and chili paste stews are my favorites. - I see.
This kind of looks like left-overs.
It's left-over radish kimchee sauce to make kimchee fried rice.
- That's really good. - Yes, with sliced meat.
I think Kim Poong might use this right away.
This might be good with anything.
That's nice.
In the deli drawer, we have bacon.
Do your kids like bacon?
- They like it a lot. - Yes, I think that's why you have bacon.
You must like rice cakes.
I really like it. I like it so much that I can eat rice cakes instead of rice.
- Do you like rice cake soup as well? - I like anything with rice cakes in it.
I see.
Let's go to the right side.
On the right side, I see all your chicken.
All the chicken is in here.
Chicken gizzards.
This is for stir-fried chicken, a whole chicken.
I also see pork belly here as well.
Bossam pork. It's five-layered pork belly.
- It's for boiled pork. - Yes, she make a boiled pork dish with that.
- When you look in the bottom... - She has all the meat prepped.
She's very good at organizing.
That's why she's fast in the kitchen.
You can take each package out and use it.
This as well. This looks like seafood to me.
- Clams. - Octopus.
- Octopus and clams. - Yes, clams.
He has everything.
She's awesome at being prepared.
I wonder what she has ready here?
I'm getting curious.
Hair tail.
- She's so organized. - It's all wrapped in aluminum foil.
She used aluminum foil since the fish is silver.
She's sensible.
Is there a dish you had before games that gave you good results?
Food is very important for athletes.
- It is important. - It can decide whether you do well or not as well.
The height of my career was in 2010. That was my max.
I was at my peak. I had baby octopus and got home run that game.
- I had two home runs. - In one game?
Yes, so I asked my wife to make baby octopus again.
I ate it that day and had another home run.
I told her we had to have the exact meal again.
I was afraid if I did bad, it was because of the meal.
We had it again and for five games in a row, I had a home run.
Out of five games, I had six home runs.
I've never heard this story about your meals.
On the sixth day, I didn't get a hit nor did I hit a home run.
We stopped eating baby octopus and started eating peaches.
I started getting home runs after eating peaches.
I had to have peaches as dessert, even if I didn't want to eat it.
- Because of your home runs? - Yes, it was all for home runs.
- It's a jinx. - Yes, we have our jinxes.
Athletes are meticulous about that.
Do you have any recollections with food and your games?
Do you have a jinx?
I don't tire myself out with things like that.
(He wasn't expecting another fast ball)
He just needs to throw.
- It's a strike whenever he throws. - Yes, food isn't important.
When Sung-heon ate the baby octopus...
he should've played against us.
That way, he wouldn't have had to eat it four days in a row.
He got lucky with the opponents he met.
I believe you should eat a variety of foods to be healthy.
- It's already too late! I'm already upset! - I didn't mean it like that.
It's not like that.
We wanted to talk about how his wife helps him out.
- We wanted to make his wife look good by saying she was devoted. - That's right.
Instead, Oh Seung-hwan decided splash cold water on all of us.
His opponents were too weak.
Isn't it because Hong Sung-heon was eccentric?
There's a lot more athletes like that than you think.
Most athletes are like that.
They'll wear the same underwear for the entire season during games.
Even if they have holes in the underwear, they'll still sear it.
Have you ever worn the same underwear two days in a row for a victory?
I'm the opposite. When I blow a save or someone homers off me...
I'll throw out my gloves and cleats. I change everything.
- That's a jinx too. - Yes.
- That's right. - He's able to do that since he wins more than he loses.
He could use it again, but he changes everything out.
They refer to game differently.
He doesn't lose much, so how can he change every time he loses?
Since he wins so much, he only changes things when he loses.
- It's the luxury of winning. - Yes, that's right. - I'm sorry.
It's okay, don't be sorry. Don't make me into the bad guy!
- He's making me into a bad guy. - I know.
Which chef will be able to get Hong Sung-heon's vote today?
Let's start our cooking battle!
We'll now start our cooking battle with ingredients from Hong Sung-heon's fridge.
The first battle with be Chef Sam Kim versus Chef Raymon Kim.
You two were both in airplanes, just a couple of hours ago.
They were in the sky.
The two of them raced over here as soon as they returned to Korea.
- Where did you go, Sam Kim? - I went to Italy.
I went to study for about two weeks.
Isn't it admirable that he still goes to study his craft?
Will two week be enough?
I should've stayed longer.
- I learned a lot. - You did? I bet it was meaningful.
Where did you go, Raymon Kim?
- I went to Japan. - Japan!
Did you study Japanese-cuisine?
I went to study sake with Chef Jung Ho-young.
They went to go drink sake, that's all.
You guys went on a drinking tour!
We learned craftsmanship at sake factories.
That means they went drinking over there.
Well, it's different for a person in first place and the person chasing after him.
(Sam Kim's ingredients: chicken, shitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, bacon...
paprika, nuts, dried cranberries, tomato sauce, black olives and balsamic vinegar)
(Raymon Kim's ingredients: radish, shitake mushrooms, rice cakes, beef broth,
chicken, chicken feet, chili paste, plum extract, soybean paste, perilla seeds)
The dish I'm preparing today is "Hong Chicken, Hong Chicken".
- Hong Chicken. - Hong Chicken?
I see, Hong Chicken!
I realized he likes broth. I'm using a whole chicken to make broth.
Since the title has "World" attached to it, I'll make a Western sauce.
I tried following his theme by making the chicken steak.
Will your travel help you with your dish today?
I'm sure it'll help me a little since I learned new things abroad.
- I think your dance moves have gotten better. - Yes, that's true.
Hong Chicken, Hong Chicken.
The man going against him is Raymon Kim. What are you preparing?
Yes, I'm preparing "World Series Chicken".
"World Series Chicken".
Japanese-cuisine has a meatball called tsukune.
I wanted to make those and have the texture of having cartilage in the meatball.
I saw chicken feet in the refrigerator.
I'll make a spicy meatball from that.
I'll make broth from the leg and thighs and add rice cakes, like most Korean dishes.
He caught my ear when he said, "rice cakes".
- You seem to be leaning toward Raymon after hearing his dish. - Yes, I am.
- I see. - You keep getting lucky these days.
I know. It's now time to start our cooking battle for Coach Hong.
Raymon Kim wants to cook a chicken dish that will become legendary.
He's up against, Sam Kim who want to cook a classy chicken dish.
Will a World Series worthy chicken dish be cooked today?
Let's begin our 15-minute cooking battle!
It's Sam Kim versus Raymon Kim.
It's Raymon Kim versus Sam Kim!
He's taking apart the chicken in a flash.
He's breaking down the chicken.
What are they doing? Sam Kim is breaking down his chicken.
How come I keep thinking of him dancing to "Hong Chicken"?
(It's still ringing in everyone's ears)
He put in the wings and backbone in hot water to make broth.
That's for his broth.
He's on a time limit, but he's trying to make broth.
What was that? What happened?
(Surprised)
What was that? What happened?
(Raymon is the only one that wasn't scared)
Raymon didn't get surprised! How come?
I've seen it many times.
It happens to new chefs.
- Rookie chefs? - He says it happens to rookie chefs.
Raymon Kim is prepping his vegetables first.
Veggies first.
Winter radish is delicious.
He's putting everything in a pressure-cooker.
(He also adds Coach Hong's favorite, rice cakes)
He's using beef bone broth.
Processed food isn't healthy.
Raymon Kim is also breaking down chicken.
He's not taking any of the bone out.
- He's not? - He's only putting in knife marks.
He's doing that make the chicken cook fast, isn't he?
Yes, and it also helps to season the chicken better.
He's using the pressure-cooker since he's has limited time.
- Is that chicken breast you're using? - Yes, it is.
I believe he's going to grind chicken breast.
He's making it tender.
(4. Blend shitake and oyster mushrooms in a hand blender)
- What did you just blend? - Mushrooms.
- Mushrooms! Are you going to mix the mushrooms and chicken breast? - Yes.
(After breaking down the chicken, Raymon Kim...)
(Place into a hand blender to grind chicken breasts)
- Raymon Kim is blending chicken as well. - They're both grinding chicken breasts.
- What else he grinding? - It's the chicken feet.
- Spicy chicken feet. - Yes, Coach Hong had it in his fridge.
The spices on the spicy chicken feet will be good.
He ground it and using its spices as well.
(6. Make chicken meatballs by mixing ground chicken breast...
minced onions, corn starch, salt, pepper and ginger extract)
What are you mixing?
- I'm making chicken meatballs. - I see, meatballs!
It'll be a bit spicy, won't it?
- Yes. It'll be a bit spicy, but it won't be too spicy. - He has bacon out.
- He's using bacon. - Hong Sung-heon isn't interested in the meatballs.
He's interested in Sam Kim using bacon. Do you like bacon?
Yes. It was easy for me to make when I was in America.
- Didn't someone say processed food wasn't healthy? - Yes, I heard that too.
You could eat processed food if you're busy!
It can happen to the best of us.
It's okay for him to use it.
It's okay for him to use it, but not anyone else.
It's okay for Sam Kim to use it, but not for Raymon Kim.
He's just stir-frying it.
I'm making stuffing for him to eat with onions.
I'm going to try and stuff onions with this.
(That sounds good)
(Raymon Kim begins to whip eggs)
(7. Coat chicken meatballs in corn starch and eggs)
(8. Placed egg wash covered meatballs into boiling beef bone broth)
- He's putting egg wash on it. - It's almost like pancakes.
Yes, it's like pancakes.
I'm going to cook one in beef broth and the other one I'll cook on the stove.
- You're making two different styles. - Yes.
It also looks like grilled short rib patties.
(Chef Sam Kim begins prepping his vegetables)
(9. In a pan with oil, cook diced onions and paprika)
(He places his cooked vegetables in a separate bowl)
(10. Dice nuts and dried cranberries)
(11. Blend cooked onions and paprika, diced nuts, cranberries and tomatoes)
(He blends black olives and adds to his mixture)
(12. Make tomato olive sauce with black olives, sugar...
lemon juice, olive oil and ingredients from 11)
(He begins fileting chicken for his chicken steak)
(13. De-bone chicken legs and cook in frying-pan with salt and pepper)
What kind of sauce are you making?
I'm making dipping sauce for his chicken.
I'm using Korean mustard, so it'll be spicy in his mouth and sting his nose.
I see. Coach Hong's wife is interested in the sauces you make.
I'm curious how the sauce will turn out.
There's five minutes left. Go to the cooking site, Jung-hwan!
- Will you taste that sauce for us? - This one? Okay.
How will the sauce taste? Coach Hong believes sauce is very important.
How does it taste?
(Fire)
This is really spicy!
It comes right at you, the minute you taste it!
- It's a bit spicy. - Yes, it is.
(On the other hand, Chef Sam Kim is...)
(14. Blend cooked bacon, chicken breast, mushrooms...
and make steak sauce with butter and chicken broth)
It looks like Sam Kim is using three different frying-pans.
- He's very busy. - Yes.
Can we taste the sauce?
This is your steak sauce, isn't it?
We don't have much time but we're curious how his sauce tastes.
- How is it, Jung-hwan? - It's Sam Kim's steak sauce.
- Will it go to the World Series? - Yes, we're going!
(Straight to the World Series)
It's delicious!
- This deserves a World Series ring. - It deserves a ring!
(Happy just thinking about it)
He's cooking the meatballs over open flame again.
- I'm trying to add smoky flavor to it. - I see, smoky flavors.
He's about to open it!
He's using cold water to release pressure.
It's because he doesn't have much time.
It's open!
It's open, it's open.
I think it's cooked really well.
It's cooked all the way through.
- It looks good. - I bet it is.
It smells good too.
- Where are you putting that? - You're putting it back in the soup?
Is this how you make it?
He first pan-fried it first, cooked it over an open flame and it's back in the broth.
The broth needs to thicken since he likes stews.
Yes, that's right. He likes stews.
(Chef Sam Kim begins to plate his dish)
(15. After adding steak sauce, place onions on top,
add bacon, chicken breast and cover with onion)
(16. Add balsamic dressing)
(15. Shred chicken and place into a plate with rice cakes)
- 40-seconds left! - There isn't much time, you have 40-seconds left.
(16. Add broth and vegetables to plate)
There isn't much time left! You have about 20-seconds left!
Raymon Kim is plating his dish.
There isn't much time left! You have about 20-seconds left!
Wow, this looks delicious.
Sam Kim has also started plating his dish!
It doesn't seem like there's a lot on his dish. It's not a lot of food.
- There's 10-seconds left! - Ten!
Nine!
Eight!
Seven!
Six!
Five!
Four!
Three!
- Three! - Two!
Okay!
("World Series Chicken" and "Hong Chicken" are finished)
Chicken dishes. Both of them look very different.
It's different styles.
(Chicken soup with grilled and boiled chicken meatballs)
(Chef Raymon Kim's "World Series Chicken")
How should he eat it?
- He should try the broth first. - Try the broth first.
The broth.
(Automatic American reaction?)
I'm so moved that I just got goosebumps.
He has goosebumps!
He got goosebumps as soon as he took a bite!
I thought it would be bland, but it has depth and it's spicy.
I really got goosebumps.
I'm serious.
You can pick any choice of meat and try it with the dipping sauce.
- The sauce was a bit spicy for me. - He's trying the chicken first.
I wonder if the sauce will suit his taste.
- Is it spicy? - It might be spicy for foreigners.
I think it's the best for Korean taste buds.
It's delicious.
- Is the chicken cooked well? - Yes, it cooked to perfection.
It's very savory.
- I'll try the rice cakes. - I would've gone for the twice-cooked meatballs.
But he likes rice cakes so much.
- He goes for the rice cakes first. Is it good? - Yes, it is.
The rice cake is very soft as well.
You can tell us if you don't like something.
- I'd say if I don't like something since I'm a coach. - I'm sure that's true.
He's trying the grilled meatball.
He ground spicy chicken feet to make chicken meatballs.
Cooked meatballs.
(Whoa)
- Cooked meatballs. - Whoa!
(Standing ovation)
- This is the team's ace. - Really?
- This is the team's ace. - Really? - This is the starting pitcher.
That's the starter instead of the rice cakes?
I thought the meatballs would be dry but it's very soft inside.
- It's because chicken feet have so much gelatin in it. - Gelatin. It's very nice.
This meatball was boiled. This one will be different.
- This was made different. - It's all very soft. - It is?
Yes, it's very moist.
- The twice-cooked meatball is the starter. - The starting player.
The round meatball is my middle man.
The rice cake is my closer.
- The rice cake is Oh Seung-hwan. - The rice cake is Oh Seung-hwan!
A clean closer.
(Chicken leg steak with tomato olive sauce)
(Chef Sam Kim's "Hong Chicken")
Please cut a portion of your steak and some sauce from the top.
There's broth on the bottom; you can use your spoon to eat it together.
He's going to try it the way the chef asks him to.
You have to stand up for this as well.
(2nd standing ovation)
(Thank you)
(How does it taste?)
This dish is like the starting pitcher, Dustin Nippert.
- It's as good as Nippert? - Yes.
The whole dish and its sauce is very well-balanced.
I'm not an expert, but it was made to suit my taste.
He's very good at using vegetables.
The broth isn't greasy at all.
I think he learned a lot in Italy.
You like Korean food, is this okay with you as well?
Honestly, I like both dishes but I can't tell which is more superior.
I don't know which one I should choose.
I'm very surprised.
- They're both outstanding. - Very nice.
Oh Seung-hwan will try Raymon Kim's dish first.
Is the broth very good?
Is the broth very good? How is it?
Is it full of flavor?
Do you like the broth?
His explanation was spot on. I'm not sure if it's the pressure-cooker but...
it didn't look like it would have such deep flavors.
The spice level is just right as well.
- It's delicious. - It must be great if Oh Seung-hwan says this about the dish.
He's not one to express a lot of feelings.
- He'll only say, "It's good". - Yes.
- He's expressing himself a lot. - He's trying the chicken.
The spicy sauce.
- You said it was a bit too spicy. - Yes.
- Seung-hwan likes spicy food as well. - The sauce is really good!
- Is it good? - Yes. Did you add soybean paste?
Yes, I added soybean paste to balance the sauce.
That's why I think I like it so much.
The sauce has soybean and chili paste in it.
- The spicy level is spot on as well. - Spot on.
Yes, try that. That meatball is very moist.
Hong Sung-heon thought it was like his starting pitcher.
I don't know what he'll think of the starter since he's a closer.
Will that be the starter after Seung-hwan tries it?
This is like the closer for me.
- He'd rather use that as his closer. - The closer has a big role as well.
It plays a vital role.
I might not have needed the rice cakes.
The meatballs are in the broth, but you can still taste the smoky flavors.
The texture inside the meatball is nice as well.
(Wow)
(Thumbs up)
That's the closer in his opinion.
It's really delicious.
(A continuation of applause)
Very nice. This time, he's trying "Hong Chicken, Hong Chicken".
It's Sam Kim's dish.
Will it suit Oh Seung-hwan's taste?
- I think... - Yes?
the more you chew it, the more the flavors come out.
I didn't see you chewing it a lot, so how do you know the flavors keep coming out?
- You can tell by chewing it a couple of times. - Is that right?
Seung-hwan can throw that fork and stick it in your forehead.
The fork?
I'd have to use my right hand for that.
He put the fork in his right hand.
I know I had chicken for both dishes, but they moved me with food.
Are they at the MLB level?
They're worthy of the World Series.
- They're both very good. - Sung-heon couldn't tell which was better.
It's time for his decision.
Number one is Sam Kim's "Hong Chicken"...
number two is Raymon Kim's "World Series Chicken".
Decide and press a button, please!
(Presses a button)
- You didn't hesitate much. - He didn't hold back.
- People usually take a while to decide. - Really?
- Yes.
You sounded like you couldn't decide.
I'm the type to decide quickly though.
His decision on athletes is very quick.
Coaches need to make quick decision.
I wonder, who he chose.
Let's verify the winner!
Is it Raymon Kim or Sam Kim?
Who did Coach Hong choose when we're toward the end of our season?
Show us!
Who did he choose?
Which chicken dish?
Raymon Kim!
Raymon Kim ends his losing streak.
Raymon Kim ends his two-game losing streak.
I liked that his dish was a bit spicy.
I think he used spices to his advantage.
I really like chicken broth and the broth was good.
I believe he used every ingredient that I liked the most and applied it to the dish.
- That's why I chose Raymon Kim. - I see.
- This means that Raymon Kim is another step ahead. - Yes.
He was co-leaders with Lee Yeon-bok.
He's leading the pack. Raymon Kim!
He's in first-place by himself with 14 wins!
Congratulations on being in first-place.
- Thank you. - Thank you. - Raymon Kim!
("World Series Chicken" wins)
This is the second battle with ingredients from Hong Sung-heon's fridge.
It's Chef Yoo Hyun-soo, a tradition Korean-cuisine chef...
against Kim Poong, the fake Korean-cuisine master.
It's not easy using 'master' and your name in the same sentence.
But you're like a master chef of jageuri and assortment stews.
Yes, he's a master at that.
The master of jageuri.
You two battled one another twice this season, right?
Yes, they met twice, and each took one win.
Yoo Hyun-soo won with "Simple Rice Soup" when Lee Moon-sik was here.
Kim Poong won with "Let's Go, Jageuri Travels" when Kim Saeng-min was here.
With jageuri!
He won with jageuri.
Jageuri is very hard. I can't compete with that.
Coach Hong would like to treat his colleagues...
to a great Korean meal in America.
I'd like it to represent Korea.
A dish I'd be proud of.
If that's the case, Yoo Hyun-soo might have an advantage.
(Kim Poong's ingredients: bacon, pork belly...
beef broth, radish, anchovy, shitake mushrooms, rice cakes)
(Yoo Hyun-soo's ingredients: whole 5-layer pork belly, rice cakes, fermented kimchee,
bulgogi, marinated peppers, radish kimchee juice, salted shrimp, plum extract, pickles)
What kind of dish are you preparing?
The title of my dish is, "San Diego Jageuri".
He's making jageuri again.
It's not San Diego Padres, but San Diego Jageuri!
He's making jageuri. How will you make the dish?
He likes rice cakes, so I'll be putting in a lot of rice cakes.
I'll make roux and use the roux control the stew's broth with it.
It'll seem like a Western dish, but makes its way back to Korea.
Does that sound good to you?
I'm a bit nervous. I'll trust him since he says it'll have Western flavors.
The dish I'll be making today for Coach Hong is "A Game-Winning Hong Run".
I see. You're using Hong for home run.
I found some fermented kimchee that was already prepped by his wife.
I'll use that in my sauce for fried 5-layer pork belly.
Fried 5-layer pork belly!
I'm sure everyone knows bulgogi from Eonyang.
- Eonyang bulgogi is famous! - Yes, I'll use that in a bulgogi pancake.
- I'll make two dishes. - Those are two difficult dishes.
- Is that your wife up there? - Yes, she is.
- You guys came together? - I don't have a manager, so she came with me.
Can you wave to us?
She came to see the recording.
I'm suddenly getting nervous.
Thank you for sending your fridge!
- You must've not had anything to eat since we took your fridge. - Yes.
- Your fridge had some great ingredients in it. - Thank you.
The fridge's real owner is looking down at us.
It's kind of burdensome.
From what I can see, it looks like you're using Mrs. Hong's radish kimchee juice.
It tasted it and the juice was really good.
But you know what? I'm sure it won't be easy...
getting radish kimchee juice in San Diego!
- It's easily found in any Korean market. - It's readily available?
- You can find most anything in Korean markets. - I see.
- Times have changed. - It means you have to eat a lot of radish kimchee!
- That's true! - There's no need to force yourself to each radish kimchee.
You can't each radish kimchee just to get its juices!
That's the reason why I chose anchovies to season my dish.
- I could've used salted shrimp but I didn't. - You're realistic.
Very realistic. Things you can easily find in America.
Anchovies are different from salted seafood.
Dishes might be seasoned wrong if you use it wrong.
I'll make it so that you can use it!
Look at them. I'm not sure who will win today.
I hope one of you wins.
We'll start our competition while Hong Sung-heon's...
wife, the actual fridge owner, watch over our battle.
It's master Korean-cuisine chef, Yoo Hyun-soo...
who wants to show Americans Korean-cuisine's dignity.
He's going against, Kim Poong, who wants to...
take over America with his trendy Korean-cuisine.
Will a Korean-cuisine that has major league caliber be born today?
We'll now start our 15-minute cooking battle!
The actual fridge owner is in the studio with us.
They can't waste any of the ingredients.
I believe that's what she's thinking.
Please be frugal with your ingredients.
Kim Poong has bacon out.
Put in a large spoon worth of flour. One large...
No, just a spoon.
Just one spoon? What kind of spoon?
- One spoon. A big spoon. - A big spoon.
You can cook the flour, like this.
- You'll add... - He's using the broth.
When you put these ingredients in together, it'll make your basic roux.
As you can see, it's thickening. Sincerity is the most vital part of jageuri.
I see.
(Chef Yoo Hyun-soo cuts out the pork's rind)
That's the 5-layer pork belly, isn't it?
Yes, it's 5-layer pork belly.
He skewered it first and now is making knife marks.
He put knife marks on the pork and now, he's dusting it with flour.
- Are you going to fry that? - Yes, it's to shorten the cooking time.
You can use the oven to cook it since you'll be in America.
I see. He's frying the pork now.
Chef Yoo Hyun-soo is slicing rice cakes.
He reminds me of Han Suk-kyu's mother.
He's rolling out the rice cakes.
I wanted a different texture for the rice cakes...
so, I'll fry them after rolling them out.
If I remember correctly, I don't think...
Chef Yoo Hyun-soo has ever won when he used rice cakes.
Yes, even though he's the king of rice cakes.
As you all know, I won gold for Korea's rice cake competition.
- I don't think you've won on our show with rice cakes. - I don't recall.
Records don't change because you don't remember.
He hasn't had much luck with rice cakes on our show.
Kim Poong is starting to cut his radish.
(Refreshing and sweet)
- These are anchovies. - He has anchovies out!
He needs to be careful, it could make it too salty.
I haven't put in any seasoning and I'm not using a lot of anchovies to make it salty.
I do see why your dish might have a Western-cuisine to it.
(Chef Yoo Hyun-soo adds olive oil to a frying-pan)
(Once he adds fermented kimchee, there's fire!)
- Kim Poong was surprised. - Cheap tricks!
He's degrading you with cheap tricks.
What did you put in to get the flames?
- It's fermented kimchee. - I see, fermented kimchee.
(7. Slice large green onions and stir-fry with fermented kimchee)
- What do you have out? - I have bulgogi.
- I see, bulgogi. - Bulgogi.
He's giving us a Nanta performance. Yoo Hyun-soo's Nanta!
Kim Poong is answering back!
Kim Poong is answering back with green onions!
He minced that very quickly.
(8. Add corn starch and chili paste to bulgogi and mix well together)
(Put minced meat on a grill and cook over an open flame)
Chef Yoo Hyun-soo is cooking it like Eonyang bulgogi.
- Yes, over an open flame. - That's right.
- That's like Eonyang bulgogi. - Yes, especially over the open flame.
- It'll be a bit sweet as well. - Like bulgogi patties.
(Eggs)
(10. Make batter by mixing eggs, water and flour)
(Place batter on pan)
(Banging noises)
(Pound on bulgogi to release from the grill)
He's going to add it to the batter now.
- That's bulgogi pancake. - Yes, you can look at it like that.
- I'm sure American athletes like bulgogi. - Yes, they do.
They go crazy over it.
I took them to a Korean restaurant and treated them bulgogi before.
They all said it was delicious.
I think he made a good decision.
(Another product of his Nanta performance)
- Are you making it spicy, Kim Poong? - Yes, I am.
Chili powder is a way to show Korean flavors.
Are you putting in chili powder and chili paste?
I haven't yet. That's a good point. I'll put in chili paste as well.
I like chili paste, but you're trying to cater it to foreign taste buds.
Foreigners like chili paste. I won't put in much. Just a little.
This amount won't even make a difference.
(5. Add chili paste to Jageuri and softened rice cakes)
(The master of jageuri tastes the broth)
The seasoning. This is crazy!
I think he's having a hard time seasoning it.
You might need a ramen soup base.
- Kim Poong is confused. - What's he going to do?
Something seems to be missing.
- Can you see what's going on, Seong-joo? - Should I?
- Go ahead. - I'll go see what's going on.
This is Kim Poong's. I'm not sure if his recipe is going to be good.
- May I taste your broth? - Jageuri stew! Jageuri stew!
How will his jageuri taste?
How does it taste?
Will he be able to capture the taste of San Diego coaches?
Not even close!
- Not even close? - The broth has no depth at all.
You need to use ramen soup base.
The broth needs to have depth to it. Won't you use some ramen base?
You're not going to use it?
The only thing that can save this soup is ramen soup base. Where are you going?
- He's totally lost. He's running somewhere. - There isn't much time.
He's running!
You don't have much time left.
(Chef Yoo Hyun-soo takes out his 5-layer pork belly)
(12. Extract oil from 5-layer pork belly by resting on a sieve)
(Add water to stir-fried fermented kimchee)
- Why did you add water? - I wanted to concentrate it like a sauce.
- Like fermented kimchee sauce? - Yes.
(13. Add water, sugar, vinegar, radish kimchee juice, marinated pepper soy sauce...
salted shrimp and corn starch to fried fermented kimchee to make sauce)
(14. Fry 5-layer pork belly again)
(Kim Poong is still looking through the fridge)
Yes, they have oyster sauce.
- What are you adding? - Oyster sauce.
- Oyster sauce? - It'll be too salty!
Did he put too much in? Kim Poong is trying to salvage his stew with oyster sauce.
(7. Add soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic and pepper)
He's adding garlic. Minced garlic.
- Taste the broth again! - I'll taste it again.
He added oyster sauce, but how will it taste?
How does it taste now?
It's okay! It's much better.
He just needs to boil it a bit longer. It's not bad.
Kim Poong saves his dish with oyster sauce!
(Chef Yoo Hyun-soo begins making dipping sauce for his bulgogi pancakes)
(15. After adding hot water to chili powder, add minced onions, vinegar...
plum extract, soy sauce, pickle juice and marinated pepper sauce)
- What's this sauce for? - It's for the pancakes.
- The pancakes! To dip the pancakes? - Yes.
He's making sauce to dip the bulgogi pancakes in.
(Kim Poong puts instant rice in a bowl)
Time is running out, he might not have enough time.
40-seconds left. 40-seconds.
What are you thinking about, Kim Poong?
- Somethings missing. Sugar! - What's missing?
- Where's the sugar? - Sugar! You have 30-seconds left.
30-seconds. Sugar! Sugar!
Kim Poong is looking for sugar.
He's resorting to MSG. He's putting anything and everything in.
- No, it's not like that. - He's starting to look absent-minded!
12-seconds!
You have 10-seconds left!
(He finishes by pouring jageuri in a bowl)
(On the other hand, Chef Yoo Hyun-soo has a lot to plate)
Six!
Five!
- Four! - Kim Poong finishes first.
Three!
Two!
One!
We're all finished.
Oh Seung-hwan looked done for when you started pouring sugar at the end.
- I wonder how it will taste. - It wasn't much compared to the size of the dish.
(A strange meeting of Western and Korean food)
(Kim Poong's "San Diego Jageuri)
I'll taste the dish while seeing if it'll suit the taste of coaches in America.
- I'll try it with the meat. - Okay.
Is it hard to put on your spoon?
How come it seems like it's still frozen?
- It's not frozen, is it? - No, It's not.
- Don't be weary. - Okay, I'll try it.
It could be different after you taste it?
(Moving around)
- It's not bad. - It's not bad?
- It really isn't bad. - I told you, it's strange.
I thought it might be salty since I saw you putting in the oyster sauce.
It's not salty and it almost seems like a tomato sauce.
I think the dish could proudly represent Korea.
His reaction has gotten much better since he became a coach.
You usually compliment all the kids that aren't as good with lots of "good job".
I am an icon of positivity.
It really isn't bad.
There are times when you need to punish the athletes.
Look at his face! Would you want to punish him?
Yes, I'm a very sensitive person.
- He's sensitive. - You can be honest.
I'm telling you how it really tastes.
It's not bad! I'm serious.
(Carefully puts down his spoon)
Wait a second. Are you done after one bite?
People usually taste it with the rice when rice is served with the dish.
- Try it with the broth. - It could be different.
Try it again.
Don't try to run away from us.
You can punish me.
You need to forget stereotypes before eating it.
It's really not that bad.
- It's not too bad. - He's a very positive person.
- Would you like to stop eating? - Yes, I would.
(A total wreck)
(Eonyang bulgogi pancake and 5-layer pork belly with fermented kimchee sauce)
(Chef Yoo Hyun-soo's "Game-Winning Hong-run".
- Should I put dip it in the sauce? - Yes, try it with the sauce.
- Use the dipping sauce. - I'll try it.
I hope it's tender.
- Isn't the meat tough? - No, it's not.
- Is it okay? - Yes, it's okay.
- The sauce kind of tastes like chili sauce. - Yes, a bit.
It kind of tastes like that because the radish kimchee juice was fermented.
Especially after I reduced it.
- How's the fermented kimchee sauce? - It's good.
The smell of kimchee is gone but the sweetness was accentuated.
It's a sauce most foreigners would like.
I'm looking forward to this.
- I think it'll be great to introduce it as Korean pizza. - The shape is similar.
They'll see it's a Korean pizza. I'll try the bulgogi pancake.
- Is it this sauce? - Yes, it is.
I believe that dish will decides today's winner.
Bulgogi pancake.
(Game-Winning Hong Run)
- How is it? - This is it!
- That's it? Is it good? - Yes, it's delicious.
It kept a lot of the bulgogi flavors. Foreigners really like bulgogi, too.
Is this flour or corn starch?
- It's pancake batter. It has eggs and flour. - I thought so.
- Does it go well with the sauce. - I think foreigners might think it's a bit spicy.
But the pancake and bulgogi are perfect.
It's a grand slam.
I think the pancake tastes better with the chili sauce.
Try it like that.
It's this sauce.
- It tastes better with that? - Yes, it tastes better with the chili sauce.
Let's see Oh Seung-hwan's preference.
He's trying Kim Poong's dish first. Jageuri!
How is it?
It tastes just as I thought it would.
You expected it?
The strange thing is that foreigners wouldn't have trouble eating this.
- Really? - Yes.
It really isn't as salty as you'd think.
I think the bacon will suit most foreign taste buds.
It's a stew that most foreign athletes could eat as well.
- Just once. - Just once?
- It's time for Chef Yoon Hyun-soo. - I'm being honest. - It's okay.
This is "Game-Winning Hong Run".
- Hong run! - Yes.
He's trying the fried pork belly.
With the fermented kimchee sauce.
- Is it okay? - The pork isn't tough at all.
- It's not tough? - No.
- Is the fermented kimchee sauce good? - Yes.
It's not spicy at all.
- I think it'll taste great as dip for bread. - Really?
Yes, I think they'll like it.
It's now time to decide.
Number one is Kim Poong and number two is Chef Yoo Hyun-soo.
- I'm jealous of Sung-heon. - Why?
He doesn't have to worry about a decision.
I don't think he needs to worry.
He thinks you have it easy since you don't need to worry.
- I chose a winner. - You did? - Yes.
- The outcome might be different. - Of course, we don't know what will happen.
Who will be the winner of Hong Sung-heon's major Korean-cuisine?
Let's verify the result!
Show us!
The winner is...
(In just a moment...)
Let me introduce our special chef! Welcome to "Take Good Care of the Fridge"!
The winner is...
Yoo Hyun-soo!
Chef Yoo Hyun-soo has won!
- I thought Kim Poong was going to win. - No, Yoo Hyun-soo won.
He has four wins in a row.
If it was just for me, I would've chosen Kim Poong's dish.
I love jageuri a lot but...
I need to show off a Korean-cuisine dish to foreigners.
I want it to represent Korea.
I can introduce it as Korean pizza with bulgogi.
It's also very easy to make as well.
That's why, I chose Chef Yoo Hyun-soo's dish.
Congratulations.
- Congratulations on your 11th win, Chef Yoo Hyun-soo! - Congratulations!
- Congratulations. - Congratulations!
Can we take a video of him cooking later on?
- Sam Kim is really excited. - He looks like he's meeting his first love.
If we put it into baseball terms, would it be like Park Chan-ho coming here?
When we were young...
and studying to be chefs, we saw him on TV.
It'll be the first-time we meet him, after watching him on TV for 20 years.
- I can't tell since I'm not in the same industry. - Me nether.
Me neither since I'm in Chinese-cuisine.
Who can we relate him to in baseball terms?
- Almost like... - Randy Johnson.
- Randy Johnson! - That would be similar.
Pele! Think of him as Pele.
- Let's say Steven Spielberg was here to make a drama. - Steven Spielberg?
- We're mentioning everyone famous. - Steven Spielberg?
I feel bad for Seung-hwan.
You're getting caught between a rock and a hard place.
You have to decide the winner.
- I do? - You're choosing the winner.
You're the one, who has to press the button.
- We're ready to go! - Okay, let's go.
Great.
It time to look into Oh Seung-hwan's fridge.
Like we mentioned before, we'll have a special guest chef for our next battle.
- He's here! - We've only known him through rumors.
I hear he's finally arrived in our backstage. He's behind us, now.
It looks like our chefs are even excited.
I'm excited as a person, who likes to cook.
My goodness.
I don't think this is the time and place for you, Poong.
- Can't I get excited? - I wish you'd sit this one out.
Sam Kim isn't one to say those things.
- I have a right to get excited. - I'm sorry, but no.
He's giving his precious time to "Take Good Care of the Fridge".
- Our show must be great. - I know!
This moment was only in our imaginations.
For our show's third anniversary...
let me introduce our special guest chef for the show!
Come on out!
Welcome to "Take Good Care of the Fridge"!
(Wow)
(World-famous star, Chef Gordon Ramsay)
Gordon Ramsay!
- Hello, nice to meet you. - How are you?
Nice to meet you.
(Amazing)
(It's like Eminem coming on "Show Me the Money").
- (It's like Bear Grylls coming on "Law of the Jungle")
(If you're not supposed to be on the show, wave a carrot, Gordon Ramsay)
Nice to meet you.
Likewise, good to see you too.
Chefs? Good,
I'm so excited to be surrounded by so many talented chefs.
It feels so odd!
It feels surreal. I feel like we're watching TV right now.
He looks more gentle than I thought he would.
All our stars started to fall after he arrived.
You're embarrassed to have stars.
All twelve of his stars fell at the same time.
- Are these Michelin stars? - No these are not.
This shows how many times we won.
I won 14 times.
- 14 times? - In this group.
Okay. Now, who's the most popular?
Most popular chef is right there.
I see Gotcha.
And the other one.
Right there. Right besides you.
And he's not a chef, but he's very famous.
(Laughing)
Is he a hairdresser?
(He's helps loosen the tension)
Our show is about chefs, who battle for 15-minutes to prepare a meal.
Yes, I'm very excited. 15 minutes.
A great chef can do a lot in 15 minutes.
I can do in 5 if you wish.
Is he for real?
Your best is not good enough!
(The devilish Chef Gordon Ramsay is famous for his cursing)
Say goodbye! Get out!
(Which chef will compete against him?)
(The hair-dresser is no match for him)
(He should've retired already)
If I go against him, I'll make two dishes.
Would you like a ten minute head start?
(Who will be Gordon Ramsay's competitor?)
(Finally!)
It's Gordon Ramsay with his first 15-minute competition...
versus Lee Yeon-bok!
(Let's go, Master Chef!)
Let's start our world cooking battle!
(Gordon Ramsay)
(Moving chaotically)
(Even the star chef is flustered)
(A tight 15-minute cooking battle)
(A splendid performance by a world star chef)
(He even makes "Stone Buddha" Oh Seung-hwan smile)
(The dignity of a world class chef)
(Cursing)
Can I try?
(How dare you?)
(Slaps)
(The dictator of the kitchen, Gordon Ramsay)
(What kind of dish did he make?)
He's finished!
He's tasting it.
(Carefully takes a bite and then another)
- I'm so confused. - What does it taste like?
It's a 1 to 0 game in the 9th inning, with 2 outs and...
bases loaded for the World Baseball Championship,
- It's that close? - Yes.
(Every Monday night at 9:30)
