White Spoons, 34 votes,
Black Spoons, 34 votes as well.

THE REMAINING 32 SELECTED THE SAME TEAM

-A difference of 30 votes.
-Wow.

-Jeez, 32 votes.
-That's such a lopsided score.

As of now, the White Spoon Team

20
00:01:06,441 --> 00:01:07,859
Amazing job, guys!

21
00:01:08,818 --> 00:01:11,654
-[Ho-young] Man, that was stressful.
-[Son Jong-won] Thanks, guys!

22
00:01:11,738 --> 00:01:13,448
[Seong-keun] I said it from the beginning.

23
00:01:13,531 --> 00:01:16,326
If we make something everyone likes,
we'll win for sure.

24
00:01:16,409 --> 00:01:19,287
We need to make something
that has mass appeal.

25
00:01:19,370 --> 00:01:22,165
-Let's try something popular.
-Yeah, something they're familiar with.

26
00:01:22,248 --> 00:01:26,211
We went with our guts,
and it ended up working in our favor.

27
00:01:26,294 --> 00:01:29,881
-Man, you never know, do you?
-Yeah. The public's scary.

-[Sung-jae laughs]

29
00:01:31,925 --> 00:01:33,760
As I was eating, I thought,

30
00:01:33,843 --> 00:01:36,638
"You know, I wonder
if the White Spoons might win this."

31
00:01:36,721 --> 00:01:38,807
Their dish was bold and flavorful,

32
00:01:38,890 --> 00:01:41,935
and the sweet, tangy profile
had a universal appeal to it.

33
00:01:42,018 --> 00:01:45,563
It's very trendy, and I think
it really gave them an edge.

34
00:01:45,647 --> 00:01:47,148
I like the sweetness.

35
00:01:47,232 --> 00:01:50,568
This one's more bold,
and this one's more… organic?

36
00:01:50,652 --> 00:01:52,195
But I stand by my vote.

37
00:01:52,278 --> 00:01:56,282
I thought it was delicious, it was unique,
and that it was perfectly balanced.

38
00:01:57,408 --> 00:02:00,411
After all, even if I suspect
how everyone else is voting,

39
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:03,248
I should still go with my gut, right?

40
00:02:03,331 --> 00:02:08,044
[host] As of now, the White Spoon Team
is currently leading by 32 points.

41
00:02:08,128 --> 00:02:09,212
Thirty-two points?

42
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:12,465
[Knife Omakase]
How did we lose by that much?

43
00:02:12,549 --> 00:02:15,343
Honestly, I think
our flavor was just too subtle.

44
00:02:15,426 --> 00:02:18,179
-It's a huge gap.
-It'll be hard to close.

45
00:02:19,514 --> 00:02:24,185
I was so angry. I mean,
we lost by such a ridiculous margin.

46
00:02:24,269 --> 00:02:26,354
I was fired up for the next two rounds.

Additionally, for this round,
the total number of judges has changed.

-Huh?

Huh? What?

Oh?

53
00:02:43,246 --> 00:02:44,080
What?

00:02:45,373 --> 00:02:46,583

[intriguing music playing]

59
00:03:10,231 --> 00:03:11,190
Is it random?

60
00:03:11,274 --> 00:03:15,069
[host] To ensure a fair evaluation,
25 of the selected judges

61
00:03:15,153 --> 00:03:17,989
voted for the Black Spoon Team
in the first match,

62
00:03:18,072 --> 00:03:21,659
and the other 25 voted for
the White Spoon Team in the first match.

63
00:03:21,743 --> 00:03:23,077
Whoa.

64
00:03:23,161 --> 00:03:24,329
Very clever.

65
00:03:24,412 --> 00:03:25,455
It's evenly split.

66
00:03:26,456 --> 00:03:28,791
I think both judges
were included in the total.

67
00:03:31,044 --> 00:03:33,379
-That just decreases the score.
-[Brewmaster Yun] Oh no.

68
00:03:33,463 --> 00:03:35,798
[host] Though the total number
of judges has decreased,

69
00:03:35,882 --> 00:03:38,343
each vote is now worth two points each.

70
00:03:38,426 --> 00:03:39,344
I see.

71
00:03:39,427 --> 00:03:40,845
With two points per vote,

72
00:03:40,929 --> 00:03:42,931
the total amount of points
remains the same.

73
00:03:43,014 --> 00:03:45,308
[Seoul Mother]
That might work well in our favor.

74
00:03:45,391 --> 00:03:47,018
If we wanna turn things around,

75
00:03:47,101 --> 00:03:49,687
we need to get super bold
with our flavors.

76
00:03:49,771 --> 00:03:52,065
If we don't win this, we're going home.

77
00:03:52,148 --> 00:03:54,776
All we have to do is maintain our lead.

78
00:03:54,859 --> 00:03:56,194
It's much harder for them.

79
00:03:56,277 --> 00:03:58,529
As long as we don't burn anything,
we'll be okay.

[host] The White Spoon Team

81
00:03:59,781 --> 00:04:02,617

for the second match.

82
00:04:02,700 --> 00:04:04,911
[Hee-eun] I was confident
going into the second match.

83
00:04:04,994 --> 00:04:06,579
We had a great team.

84
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,583
[Sam] Our goal was to win
all three matches, no matter what.

85
00:04:12,043 --> 00:04:14,545
[Sung-jae] Going into match two,
the White Team was like,

"All right, let's go."

87
00:04:16,005 --> 00:04:17,715
And meanwhile, you could tell that

88
00:04:17,799 --> 00:04:20,343
the Black Spoons
were completely laser-focused.

89
00:04:20,426 --> 00:04:22,929
They needed
to turn things around, or else…

90
00:04:24,222 --> 00:04:25,682

-For the second match.

91

If you have use for me, absolutely.

to win this match, we needed fighters.

Each team will get to select
one ingredient from one wheel.

98

Oh, we get to choose? Oh, that's great.

99
00:04:45,994 --> 00:04:49,247
-We should go first. If we're picking.
-[Hee-eun] Which wheel?

100
00:04:49,330 --> 00:04:52,083
[host] Because the White Spoon Team
won the first match,

101
00:04:52,166 --> 00:04:54,335
they get to pick the first ingredient.

102
00:04:54,419 --> 00:04:59,007
From the Wheel of Land, the White Spoons
selected chicken as the first ingredient.

103
00:04:59,090 --> 00:05:03,177
We wanted something familiar,
something with an… umami flavor.

104
00:05:03,761 --> 00:05:05,263
We're going with pollock roe.

105
00:05:05,346 --> 00:05:08,016
[host] The Black Spoons
have selected pollock roe.

106
00:05:08,933 --> 00:05:12,186
By itself, pollock roe
has a lot of umami flavor.

107
00:05:12,270 --> 00:05:14,188
It'll help punch up our dish.

108
00:05:14,272 --> 00:05:17,608
[host] For this round, the key ingredients
from the Wheels of Fate

109
00:05:17,692 --> 00:05:19,444
are chicken and pollock roe.

110
00:05:20,111 --> 00:05:22,530
It's very umami focused. Interesting.

111
00:05:22,613 --> 00:05:24,490
-Sounds like a delicious combo.
-Right.

112
00:05:24,574 --> 00:05:26,075
There's a lot of ways to use them.

113
00:05:26,159 --> 00:05:29,912
So I'm interested to see
just how diverse these dishes might get.

114
00:05:29,996 --> 00:05:31,539
-Let's start with the chicken.
-Right.

115
00:05:31,622 --> 00:05:33,374
-[Seong-keun] Chicken fricassee.
-Fricassee?

116
00:05:33,458 --> 00:05:36,919
[Sam] Fricassee is a traditional
French chicken dish,

117
00:05:37,003 --> 00:05:40,381
in which the chicken is roasted
and served with a creamy sauce.

118
00:05:40,465 --> 00:05:42,216
Our first dish had vinegar in it.

119
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:45,219
It was sweet and sour
with very light acidity.

120
00:05:45,803 --> 00:05:48,347
So let's change it up
for the second round, right?

121
00:05:48,431 --> 00:05:49,640
Let's go for rich.

122
00:05:49,724 --> 00:05:52,393
A fricassee is really creamy and dense.

123
00:05:52,477 --> 00:05:55,021
There's chicken and mushrooms,
usually some mashed potatoes.

124
00:05:55,104 --> 00:05:57,356
-So it's all very familiar.
-It's simple.

125
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,609
But there's also the pollock roe.

126
00:05:59,692 --> 00:06:02,487
So we have to combine
these two savory ingredients.

127
00:06:03,237 --> 00:06:04,947
It'd be good if we add it to the potatoes.

128
00:06:05,031 --> 00:06:07,283
-I like that.
-It increases the umami,

129
00:06:07,366 --> 00:06:09,494
which'll make the potatoes more delicious.

130
00:06:09,577 --> 00:06:11,829
-[Sam] By enhancing it?
-That's it. Exactly.

131
00:06:11,913 --> 00:06:14,165
Okay, who wants sauce? Do you want it?

132
00:06:14,248 --> 00:06:15,291
Sure, I'll do that.

133
00:06:15,374 --> 00:06:17,043
I can be on grill duty then.

134
00:06:17,126 --> 00:06:19,170
-You can handle the vegetables, right?
-Absolutely.

135
00:06:19,253 --> 00:06:21,380
-[Ho-young] The roe--
-[Hyo-nam] We need to remove it.

136
00:06:21,464 --> 00:06:22,673
Just remove it, right?

137
00:06:22,757 --> 00:06:25,301
[Hyo-nam] Chicken fricassee
and pollock roe mashed potatoes.

138
00:06:25,384 --> 00:06:26,469
We won.

139
00:06:26,552 --> 00:06:28,304
-Seriously. Can't beat that.
-Right.

140
00:06:32,058 --> 00:06:33,976
I think they're making a fricassee

141
00:06:34,852 --> 00:06:36,854
with chicken and pollock roe.

142
00:06:37,897 --> 00:06:41,734
-There's Sam Kim, Jong-won. Chef Park.
-[Dweji-Gomtang in NY] Italian. French.

143
00:06:41,818 --> 00:06:43,361
They're Western specialists.

144
00:06:43,945 --> 00:06:46,197
[Culinary Monster]
Fricassee's not only a classic dish.

145
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:48,741
It's also something
that's easy to make a lot of.

146
00:06:48,825 --> 00:06:51,786
But if we wanted to try
and catch up a bit in the second match,

147
00:06:51,869 --> 00:06:53,788
I thought we should take
a different approach.

148
00:06:55,081 --> 00:06:58,209
-Let's do kkanpunggi with pollock roe.
-[Seoul Mother] And what else?

149
00:06:58,292 --> 00:07:00,378
With cheese and served
on a bed of béchamel sauce.

150
00:07:00,461 --> 00:07:01,295
Nice.

151
00:07:01,379 --> 00:07:03,214
-It's spicy and cheesy.
-Okay.

152
00:07:03,297 --> 00:07:04,382
-Sounds good.
-Let's go.

153
00:07:04,465 --> 00:07:06,467
[Culinary Monster]
The issue with chicken fricassee

154
00:07:06,551 --> 00:07:10,096
is that if you're not careful,
it could easily become greasy.

155
00:07:10,179 --> 00:07:13,474
So for our dish, we decided
to make a spicy kkanpunggi.

156
00:07:13,558 --> 00:07:16,436
-Cheese on bottom, then chicken.
-[Dweji-Gomtang in NY] Top with onions.

157
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:17,437
Right, that's it.

158
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,523
Kkanpunggi has this very bold,
strong flavor.

159
00:07:20,606 --> 00:07:24,902
We need to pair it with something mild
in order to balance out the flavors.

160
00:07:24,986 --> 00:07:27,488
It's like how people love
the flavor of tteokbokki,

161
00:07:27,572 --> 00:07:30,324
but they'll often pair it with cheese
when they eat it.

162
00:07:30,408 --> 00:07:32,952
That's basically
the combination we're going for.

163
00:07:33,035 --> 00:07:35,496
-Make it delicious. I'll be praying.
-Let's close the gap.

164
00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:37,832
-Let's do it. It'll be good.
-Let's pick stations.

165
00:07:37,915 --> 00:07:39,375
That way, we stay organized.

166
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:42,962
I think Genius and I
should take that station over there.

167
00:07:43,045 --> 00:07:45,798
You two will prep the chicken,
so you get the sink.

168
00:07:45,882 --> 00:07:47,800
-And Chef Ok, you'll go here.
-Okay.

169
00:07:47,884 --> 00:07:50,845
He had to watch us
run around the kitchen. [chuckles]

170
00:07:50,928 --> 00:07:52,722
I'm sure it nearly killed him.

171
00:07:52,805 --> 00:07:57,226
Watching the first match was frustrating.
We just weren't efficient at all.

172
00:07:58,227 --> 00:08:01,189
-[Brewmaster Yun] Three or four.
-Why aren't they using all the space?

173
00:08:02,815 --> 00:08:04,817
There's another cutting board over there.

174
00:08:07,153 --> 00:08:08,446
It's just not organized.

175
00:08:09,864 --> 00:08:11,532
[Dweji-Gomtang in NY] Let's use the edge.

176
00:08:11,616 --> 00:08:14,410
[Culinary Monster] There's only five of us
in this second match.

177
00:08:14,494 --> 00:08:17,330
So I offered to take on
the leadership role.

178
00:08:17,413 --> 00:08:19,332
Don't keep ideas to yourselves.

179
00:08:19,415 --> 00:08:21,000
-Right.
-Just come and tell me.

180
00:08:21,083 --> 00:08:22,960
If I think it works, we'll do it.

181
00:08:23,044 --> 00:08:26,047
But if I end up nixing it,
I need you to trust me.

182
00:08:26,547 --> 00:08:29,175
It's nothing personal,
so please don't feel bad.

183
00:08:29,258 --> 00:08:31,010
-Okay.
-Questions?

184
00:08:31,802 --> 00:08:32,803
-No, I'm good.
-I'm good.

185
00:08:32,887 --> 00:08:33,721
All right then.

186
00:08:33,804 --> 00:08:37,183
I didn't really go into this round
actively trying to save our team.

187
00:08:37,725 --> 00:08:40,728
I just thought, "This is a mess,
and I'm going to fix it."

188
00:08:41,312 --> 00:08:42,480
[host] Now then,

189
00:08:42,563 --> 00:08:47,527
the second match of Round 3,
Black vs White Spoon, All or Nothing,

190
00:08:47,610 --> 00:08:48,444
will begin!

191
00:08:48,528 --> 00:08:50,947
FIVE-ON-FIVE FACE-OFF
TIME LIMIT IS 120 MINUTES

192
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:52,031
[Kang-rok] Let's go!

193
00:08:52,114 --> 00:08:54,283
-Let's go, Black Spoons! Go!
-Come on, Black Spoons!

194
00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:55,576
-Let's go!
-White Spoons!

195
00:08:55,660 --> 00:08:56,536
You can do it!

196
00:08:56,619 --> 00:08:57,578
I'll get set up.

197
00:08:57,662 --> 00:09:00,039
-[Ven. Sunjae] Who wants to go with me?
-I'll go.

198
00:09:00,122 --> 00:09:01,332
-Okay.
-Grab the chicken.

199
00:09:01,415 --> 00:09:03,543
You get that,
and I will help with veggies.

200
00:09:03,626 --> 00:09:04,710
I'll finish prepping.

201
00:09:07,630 --> 00:09:10,550
[Dweji-Gomtang in NY]
We'd organized ourselves before the match.

202
00:09:10,633 --> 00:09:13,094
Everyone had their assignment
and their station.

203
00:09:13,177 --> 00:09:14,637
[Rebellious Genius] One, two…

204
00:09:15,304 --> 00:09:16,138
three.

205
00:09:17,723 --> 00:09:19,267
Let's see…

206
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:22,687
When you're in charge
of leading a team of people,

207
00:09:22,770 --> 00:09:26,357
you need to give them roles
that suit their individual strengths.

208
00:09:26,941 --> 00:09:29,193
Chef, when we start,
could you grab the oil?

209
00:09:29,777 --> 00:09:31,904
-Let's fill two to be safe.
-[both] Okay.

210
00:09:35,074 --> 00:09:37,159
[Barbecue Lab Director]
Honestly, I was fine

211
00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:39,036
having Culinary Monster
run the show for us.

212
00:09:41,205 --> 00:09:43,874
I'll get what's in the pantry,
and you can get butter…

213
00:09:43,958 --> 00:09:46,877
-Okay. And cheese?
-…cheese, and meat from there.

214
00:09:49,046 --> 00:09:52,300
[Rebellious Genius] He'd give us a task
then give us a timeframe.

215
00:09:53,551 --> 00:09:55,845
Yeah, he was clear and organized.

216
00:09:55,928 --> 00:09:57,221
-You two will…
-I'll fry chicken.

217
00:09:57,305 --> 00:09:58,389
Yeah, prepare the chicken.

218
00:10:00,641 --> 00:10:02,685
-And you'll prep the vegetables.
-Oh, okay.

219
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:11,193
Once I start stir-frying those,
you'll scrape the pollock roe.

220
00:10:14,947 --> 00:10:17,033
We were along for the ride. [chuckles]

221
00:10:17,658 --> 00:10:20,995
On the Monster Bus.
A premium, super-deluxe bus.

222
00:10:22,330 --> 00:10:23,623
With him at the wheel.

223
00:10:27,543 --> 00:10:29,837
Looking down from here,
they're so organized.

224
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,756
[chuckling] We must've looked silly.

225
00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:34,258
I think we kind of looked like
the White Spoons over there.

226
00:10:34,342 --> 00:10:36,427
Gloves, gloves, where are they?

227
00:10:38,304 --> 00:10:39,513
-Under there.
-Over there.

228
00:10:39,597 --> 00:10:41,641
-I got 'em. The sanitary ones.
-Great, thanks.

229
00:10:41,724 --> 00:10:43,267
You need to boil the water.

230
00:10:43,893 --> 00:10:45,645
[amusing music playing]

231
00:10:45,728 --> 00:10:48,356
-Shoot, where'd the torch go?
-Where's the thing?

232
00:10:48,439 --> 00:10:49,774
-What?
-For the potatoes.

233
00:10:49,857 --> 00:10:52,276
-Peeler? Do we have one of those?
-Yes, that. Potato peeler.

234
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,944
[clattering]

235
00:10:54,779 --> 00:10:56,405
[Ven. Sunjae] Is there a peeler?

236
00:10:57,782 --> 00:10:59,033
-Or no?
-I don't…

237
00:10:59,533 --> 00:11:02,161
They're all over the place. Uh-huh.

238
00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:06,707
[Sam] Up until this point,
I'd been cooking as an individual.

239
00:11:07,375 --> 00:11:09,377
So, going into this match…

240
00:11:09,460 --> 00:11:11,462
Obviously, we had a plan,

241
00:11:11,545 --> 00:11:15,007
and then, once it started,
we just completely blanked.

242
00:11:15,091 --> 00:11:18,511
Wait! Here, here, here!
I got it! Want a torch?

243
00:11:18,594 --> 00:11:20,346
[upbeat music playing]

244
00:11:20,429 --> 00:11:21,389
[Deok-juk] It's on.

245
00:11:21,472 --> 00:11:24,016
[Son Jong-won]
I've got your potato peeler! Here.

246
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:25,267
[Sam] All right, let's start.

247
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:28,813
-You don't need one?
-No, I can just do this.

248
00:11:29,563 --> 00:11:32,316
[upbeat music continues]

249
00:11:41,242 --> 00:11:43,202
[Son Jong-won]
I got butter for the potatoes.

250
00:11:43,285 --> 00:11:44,870
-Okay, perfect.
-I'll temper it.

251
00:11:44,954 --> 00:11:45,955
Sounds good, Chef.

252
00:11:46,580 --> 00:11:48,457
Chef Son's just running around
like a commis.

253
00:11:48,541 --> 00:11:49,458
-Uh-huh.
-Isn't he?

254
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:51,919
[Son Jong-won] Got your seasoning.

255
00:11:53,504 --> 00:11:55,339
-Did you grab the balsamic?
-Yep, I've got it.

256
00:11:55,423 --> 00:11:57,174
-Salt too.
-Perfect, we can use that, then.

257
00:11:57,258 --> 00:12:01,053
[Son Jong-won] The more I'm up
and moving around, the more useful I am.

258
00:12:01,137 --> 00:12:05,266
Our team did great on the first match,
and I just couldn't let them down.

259
00:12:05,349 --> 00:12:09,311
So if that meant running around
doing whatever, I'd do whatever.

260
00:12:10,604 --> 00:12:12,857
-All right, let me help you.
-[Sam] All right.

261
00:12:12,940 --> 00:12:14,442
-Could you debone this?
-Sure.

262
00:12:19,363 --> 00:12:22,825
Oh, geez,
this takes quite a bit of effort.

263
00:12:23,534 --> 00:12:25,703
-Much more than I thought.
-This is the hardest part.

264
00:12:25,786 --> 00:12:26,996
Yeah, it really is, huh?

265
00:12:27,746 --> 00:12:29,039
It's just so slippery.

266
00:12:32,168 --> 00:12:33,711
So you need patience.

267
00:12:35,337 --> 00:12:36,255
[Sang-hyun] Yeah.

268
00:12:38,799 --> 00:12:40,718
[Sam] I thought it'd take 20 minutes.

269
00:12:40,801 --> 00:12:44,138
But it kind of took forever
to prep all of that chicken.

270
00:12:44,221 --> 00:12:46,515
[Son Jong-won]
Chef Hee-eun! How are we on time?

271
00:12:46,599 --> 00:12:48,350
[Hee-eun] It's been 20 minutes.

272
00:12:48,434 --> 00:12:52,062
We're taking too long.
We expected to finish in 20 minutes.

273
00:12:52,146 --> 00:12:55,983
[Sam] Honestly, I wondered
if choosing chicken was a big mistake.

274
00:12:56,609 --> 00:12:59,361
[Deok-juk] Deboning can take
a very long time.

275
00:13:02,698 --> 00:13:04,700
[rock music playing]

276
00:13:08,954 --> 00:13:11,624
[Seoul Mother]
Our Witch with a Wok! Look at her go!

277
00:13:11,707 --> 00:13:13,626
-[Brewmaster Yun] Look.
-[Seoul Mother] So fast.

278
00:13:13,709 --> 00:13:15,503
[Brewmaster Yun]
Her knife work's incredible.

279
00:13:15,586 --> 00:13:19,215
[Knife Omakase] And it's a big knife too.
It almost looks kind of witchy.

280
00:13:19,298 --> 00:13:21,967
[rock music continues]

281
00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:32,478
[Witch with a Wok] I like chicken.
I cook with it all the time.

282
00:13:35,773 --> 00:13:37,066
You're really fast, Chef.

283
00:13:37,149 --> 00:13:39,026
-Like, insanely fast.
-What? Am I?

284
00:13:39,652 --> 00:13:41,487
Today, I was ready for a real fight.

285
00:13:42,071 --> 00:13:44,949
I even sharpened
the blade of my knife, just in case.

286
00:13:45,866 --> 00:13:48,077
[Paik Jong-won]
Did you see Witch with a Wok?

287
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,579
Look at that. She's fast.

288
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,999
It's hard enough
to debone with a regular knife.

289
00:13:54,917 --> 00:13:56,961
But she uses a Chinese kitchen knife.

290
00:13:58,462 --> 00:14:00,839
-[Culinary Monster] You guys good?
-[both] Yeah.

291
00:14:00,923 --> 00:14:03,717
[Witch with a Wok] And we're done,
with time to spare. [chuckles]

292
00:14:04,301 --> 00:14:06,887
Now that they're ready,
it's time to brine them.

293
00:14:16,772 --> 00:14:18,524
-[Sang-hyun sighs]
-[laughs]

294
00:14:18,607 --> 00:14:20,526
-Oh my god.
-No sighing for us.

295
00:14:20,609 --> 00:14:22,361
-It won't help.
-Stay positive.

296
00:14:22,444 --> 00:14:25,322
-I know, but my back hurts.
-Remember, we're White Spoons.

297
00:14:26,031 --> 00:14:28,784
Almost there. Just a little bit more.

298
00:14:28,868 --> 00:14:31,370
-We've got the vegetables? The mirepoix?
-Yep.

299
00:14:33,038 --> 00:14:33,998
Almost.

300
00:14:38,919 --> 00:14:39,795
I'll take a look.

301
00:14:46,093 --> 00:14:47,595
-Venerable Sunjae.
-Oh, hello.

302
00:14:47,678 --> 00:14:49,013
[chuckles]

303
00:14:49,096 --> 00:14:50,806
-This dish…
-Yes?

304
00:14:51,849 --> 00:14:53,767
-…uses meat, so what do you do?
-Yes, it does.

305
00:14:53,851 --> 00:14:56,937
Well, cooking isn't
completely vegetarian, is it?

306
00:14:57,021 --> 00:14:58,314
-That's true.
-Exactly.

307
00:14:58,397 --> 00:15:00,733
-So I'm helping out however I can here.
-Right.

308
00:15:00,816 --> 00:15:03,819
If you can find harmony
with people you disagree with,

309
00:15:03,903 --> 00:15:06,864
you can find harmony
with food you don't cook with.

310
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:09,950
We're a team, right? We work together.

311
00:15:10,034 --> 00:15:12,077
So achieving harmony's very important.

312
00:15:12,912 --> 00:15:16,206
I never exempt myself
because I'm ascetic and a vegetarian.

313
00:15:16,290 --> 00:15:20,169
I'll always cook what I can cook.
It's like I'm in an orchestra.

314
00:15:20,252 --> 00:15:23,339
As long as I know my part
and play it well, that's all I need.

315
00:15:23,964 --> 00:15:25,966
I'm not a conductor.
I don't control everyone.

316
00:15:26,675 --> 00:15:29,011
All right, what should I do next?
Mushrooms are done.

317
00:15:29,094 --> 00:15:30,471
-Is this parsley?
-It's celery.

318
00:15:30,554 --> 00:15:32,306
-Celery.
-I think we need some more.

319
00:15:32,389 --> 00:15:33,223
-Oh, really?
-Yes.

320
00:15:33,307 --> 00:15:34,266
[Ven. Sunjae] Okay.

321
00:15:37,978 --> 00:15:40,272
-[Hyo-nam] Do we need chicken?
-[Sam] I think we're set.

322
00:15:40,356 --> 00:15:41,774
I'm starting on the chicken, Chef.

323
00:15:41,857 --> 00:15:44,193
[sizzling]

324
00:15:44,276 --> 00:15:46,278
[rock music playing]

325
00:15:51,283 --> 00:15:52,868
-Stir the onions once.
-Yes.

326
00:15:56,747 --> 00:15:59,041
[Seong-keun] Wow, look at how fast he is.

327
00:16:02,419 --> 00:16:05,589
[Hyo-nam] First, we sear the chicken
in the pan, just for a bit.

328
00:16:06,173 --> 00:16:09,051
-[Son Jong-won] How's the color?
-[Hyo-nam] The color? Okay.

329
00:16:11,178 --> 00:16:14,306
[Son Jong-won] Garlic, rosemary, thyme.
All right, into the oven.

330
00:16:16,558 --> 00:16:19,144
-That looks great!
-[Seong-keun] Looking good, Chef!

331
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,649
[Hyo-nam] And then we put
the chicken in the oven.

332
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,278
But this is a fricassee.
It's incomplete without a rich sauce.

333
00:16:28,862 --> 00:16:32,658
To start, we take the leftover chicken
cuts and use those to make the broth.

334
00:16:33,409 --> 00:16:36,537
Then we sauté the celery and onions
in some olive oil,

335
00:16:36,620 --> 00:16:39,164
add the broth, and bring it to a boil.

336
00:16:39,248 --> 00:16:42,126
[rock music continues]

337
00:16:50,217 --> 00:16:51,635
[Seong-keun] Set it on fire!

338
00:16:54,054 --> 00:16:57,641
[Son Jong-won] Our leader, Chef Hyo-nam,
is a master of French cuisine.

339
00:16:57,725 --> 00:16:58,934
[Sam] It's reassuring.

340
00:17:00,561 --> 00:17:02,980
He's an expert
when it comes to Western cuisine.

341
00:17:03,647 --> 00:17:06,859
With him as our captain,
our dish would be perfect.

342
00:17:10,070 --> 00:17:11,864
[Kang-rok] I can smell it from here.

343
00:17:12,364 --> 00:17:14,950
[Seong-keun] I'm sure it's delicious.
He's a master.

344
00:17:18,912 --> 00:17:21,415
[Seoul Mother] I just hope
the kkanpunggi sauce turns out good.

345
00:17:21,498 --> 00:17:22,583
[Brewmaster Yun] Me too.

346
00:17:23,083 --> 00:17:26,628
[Seoul Mother] Glad there's spicy peppers.
They work well with soy sauce-based sauce.

347
00:17:27,463 --> 00:17:28,797
-All good here?
-Mmm.

348
00:17:30,883 --> 00:17:33,302
[Dweji-Gomtang in NY]
I offered to make the kkanpunggi sauce.

349
00:17:33,802 --> 00:17:37,097
-What should we use as the base?
-For the kkanpunggi sauce? Soy sauce.

350
00:17:37,181 --> 00:17:38,932
-Should I add balsamic?
-Balsamic?

351
00:17:39,016 --> 00:17:40,476
-Yes.
-Sure, go ahead. Sounds good.

352
00:17:41,810 --> 00:17:43,812
[Dweji-Gomtang in NY]
I suggested adding balsamic.

353
00:17:45,022 --> 00:17:47,274
It's a little savory and a little sweet.

354
00:17:47,357 --> 00:17:49,359
[Brewmaster Yun]
It's a good sweet and spicy mix.

355
00:17:49,443 --> 00:17:51,195
[Seoul Mother] I'm sure it tastes great.

356
00:17:51,779 --> 00:17:54,865
-Let's see… Where do you need me?
-With Chef Ok.

357
00:17:54,948 --> 00:17:56,909
Three each, six per bunch.
Then slice them.

358
00:17:56,992 --> 00:17:58,577
-Okay.
-Do you have green onion?

359
00:17:58,660 --> 00:18:00,287
Not yet. We need to cut them.

360
00:18:09,338 --> 00:18:12,341
-[Culinary Monster] Need to finish in 20.
-[Barbecue Lab Director] Sounds good.

361
00:18:12,883 --> 00:18:14,593
Could you check the sweetness?

362
00:18:15,594 --> 00:18:16,428
Thank you.

363
00:18:18,597 --> 00:18:21,350
How is it? Is it good? Or too much?

364
00:18:22,851 --> 00:18:23,852
-More?
-It's salty.

365
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:25,020
-Salty?
-Really salty.

366
00:18:25,104 --> 00:18:27,231
It's salty. Really salty.

367
00:18:27,314 --> 00:18:28,524
-Is it?
-Yeah.

368
00:18:28,607 --> 00:18:29,942
[tense music playing]

369
00:18:30,526 --> 00:18:34,822
It's way too salty as is.
And they want sweet. So make it sweet.

370
00:18:35,364 --> 00:18:36,740
[laughs] Sounds good.

371
00:18:36,824 --> 00:18:39,409
-At least in my opinion. It's too much.
-No, sorry. I'll fix it.

372
00:18:39,493 --> 00:18:43,122
Eat a whole spoonful to check.
'Cause when we reduce it, that's it.

373
00:18:43,205 --> 00:18:45,833
-Right. Hmm.
-That's what it's all gonna taste like.

374
00:18:46,416 --> 00:18:49,169
[Dweji-Gomtang in NY] I wasn't sure
how the sauce had come out salty,

375
00:18:49,253 --> 00:18:51,964
but I needed to find a way to fix it,
and fast.

376
00:18:55,259 --> 00:18:56,802
[Culinary Monster] I was frustrated.

377
00:18:57,427 --> 00:19:00,430
He'd promised to take care
of the sauce and vegetable prep,

378
00:19:00,514 --> 00:19:03,183
but he spent all of his time
focused on the sauce.

379
00:19:04,393 --> 00:19:06,895
Hey, Chef Ok, seems like
the sauce is taking a bit.

380
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:07,855
It's almost done.

381
00:19:07,938 --> 00:19:10,482
-You said you'd help with the vegetables.
-Just finishing up.

382
00:19:11,775 --> 00:19:15,445
But eventually, I managed to cut
the saltiness and enhance the sweetness.

383
00:19:16,655 --> 00:19:17,948
And that's what I needed.

384
00:19:20,367 --> 00:19:23,328
[Rebellious Genius] Green onions,
bell peppers, and garlic prepped.

385
00:19:23,412 --> 00:19:25,289
-What's next?
-Could you grab something for me?

386
00:19:25,372 --> 00:19:26,748
-Sure, what?
-Water.

387
00:19:26,832 --> 00:19:29,042
-Water? How much?
-Yeah. I'll tell you when to stop.

388
00:19:29,710 --> 00:19:30,961
-Good?
-Yep. More water…

389
00:19:31,044 --> 00:19:32,963
[Knife Omakase] How's it going? Sample it.

390
00:19:33,046 --> 00:19:33,922
After this.

391
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:35,507
-Pour it all.
-One second.

392
00:19:35,591 --> 00:19:37,301
[Dweji-Gomtang in NY] An hour's passed.

393
00:19:37,384 --> 00:19:39,303
We need to start frying
in the next two minutes.

394
00:19:39,386 --> 00:19:41,722
-[Witch with a Wok] I'll do that next.
-We're finishing up.

395
00:19:41,805 --> 00:19:44,224
Don't say that, just tell me the time.
How long?

396
00:19:44,308 --> 00:19:45,601
-Three minutes.
-Okay.

397
00:19:45,684 --> 00:19:47,853
When I ask "how long," I need a time.

398
00:19:48,478 --> 00:19:52,357
Don't say, "We're finishing up."
That doesn't answer the question.

399
00:19:52,441 --> 00:19:55,027
-We need to start.
-[Dweji-Gomtang in NY] Next to that ladle.

400
00:19:57,988 --> 00:19:59,239
We're five minutes behind.

401
00:19:59,740 --> 00:20:03,452
As the team leader,
I'm constantly managing the timeline.

402
00:20:03,535 --> 00:20:05,537
-It's been 15.
-[Witch with a Wok] Great, thanks.

403
00:20:06,121 --> 00:20:07,456
We need to finish in 20.

404
00:20:07,539 --> 00:20:09,583
You need to be proactive with everyone,

405
00:20:09,666 --> 00:20:12,669
which means following up
and making sure they're good.

406
00:20:12,753 --> 00:20:14,046
I'm sorry, Chef.

407
00:20:14,129 --> 00:20:16,381
-Let's do peanuts again.
-What? What's wrong?

408
00:20:16,465 --> 00:20:18,926
-They're just close to burning.
-Oh. Okay. Just a little less?

409
00:20:19,009 --> 00:20:20,302
-No, more even too.
-Okay.

410
00:20:22,387 --> 00:20:23,931
-Those look good.
-You sure?

411
00:20:24,014 --> 00:20:25,724
-You want me to stop--
-Stop, stop.

412
00:20:25,807 --> 00:20:29,728
I want to try to set a good example
and lead through demonstration.

413
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,606
We're done,
so tell us what you need us to do.

414
00:20:32,689 --> 00:20:34,608
I need a bowl of paste. Please.

415
00:20:34,691 --> 00:20:35,525
-Just one?
-Yep.

416
00:20:35,609 --> 00:20:36,485
-What kind?
-Here.

417
00:20:38,904 --> 00:20:42,366
[Culinary Monster] That's the way I've
always worked, so I tried to recreate it.

418
00:20:42,449 --> 00:20:44,284
STARCH PASTE
BÉCHAMEL SAUCE

419
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:48,747
-I'll finish the béchamel.
-[Rebellious Genius] Okay.

420
00:20:49,414 --> 00:20:53,085
-Chef Genius. Just add the pollock roe.
-Then it's done?

421
00:20:53,168 --> 00:20:55,212
-Then season it once it's added.
-After? Okay.

422
00:20:55,879 --> 00:21:00,467
POLLOCK ROE ADDED TO BÉCHAMEL SAUCE
TO FINISH POLLOCK ROE CREAM SAUCE

423
00:21:00,550 --> 00:21:02,219
[Hee-eun] They made pollock roe béchamel.

424
00:21:02,302 --> 00:21:05,013
-Oh, okay. That's what it is.
-That's a really good way to use it.

425
00:21:05,514 --> 00:21:08,433
I hope our pollock roe
mashed potatoes turn out.

426
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:12,896
[Son Jong-won] I think
we should put it all in one big bowl.

427
00:21:12,980 --> 00:21:13,981
[Sang-hyun] Mashed?

428
00:21:15,023 --> 00:21:16,775
Like this. We should strain them.

429
00:21:19,611 --> 00:21:20,529
-Here, could I--
-Sure.

430
00:21:20,612 --> 00:21:21,488
I wanna see…

431
00:21:25,701 --> 00:21:28,161
I think this-- Let's see.
Yeah, strain like this.

432
00:21:28,245 --> 00:21:31,164
-I'm just worried it'll take too long.
-It's standard practice.

433
00:21:31,248 --> 00:21:32,749
-Is it?
-In French cuisine.

434
00:21:32,833 --> 00:21:35,043
-[Ven. Sunjae] I see.
-It gets all the clumps out.

435
00:21:35,127 --> 00:21:37,129
How's it going?
Are they straining all right?

436
00:21:37,212 --> 00:21:38,046
Not really.

437
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:38,964
-No?
-No.

438
00:21:41,508 --> 00:21:43,176
[Sang-hyun] Let's use our hands.

439
00:21:43,260 --> 00:21:45,971
Here, Venerable Sunjae,
let me do a quick test run,

440
00:21:46,054 --> 00:21:47,264
-just to make sure.
-Okay.

441
00:21:47,347 --> 00:21:48,223
Break the clumps?

442
00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:50,017
-Yeah, I think that makes it easier.
-Okay.

443
00:21:50,934 --> 00:21:53,353
[Sung-woon] They just cooked those,
so they're probably hot.

444
00:21:53,437 --> 00:21:55,856
[Sang-hyun winces] Hot, hot, hot!

445
00:21:56,898 --> 00:21:58,317
It's mashed potato hell.

446
00:21:59,401 --> 00:22:01,320
[Ven. Sunjae] We're just
making mashed potatoes.

447
00:22:01,403 --> 00:22:04,614
-I thought this would be easy.
-[Sam] Yeah. Me too. They're hot.

448
00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:06,742
-Wanna switch?
-Sorry?

449
00:22:06,825 --> 00:22:08,618
That way, neither one of us
gets too tired.

450
00:22:08,702 --> 00:22:10,412
-Sorry, I've got some more here.
-Okay.

451
00:22:10,996 --> 00:22:11,997
This'll take a bit.

452
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,833
-It'll take longer than we thought.
-[Son Jong-won] Need you three.

453
00:22:14,916 --> 00:22:17,419
-Wait, Chef. Could you hand me that?
-[Son Jong-won] What?

454
00:22:17,502 --> 00:22:18,670
-This?
-What you're holding?.

455
00:22:21,131 --> 00:22:23,967
Like this, look. We can press down.

456
00:22:24,968 --> 00:22:27,429
Like this, look. See?

457
00:22:27,971 --> 00:22:30,140
They're still hot,
so try it like this. See?

458
00:22:30,223 --> 00:22:31,433
[Seong-keun] Very nice.

459
00:22:32,559 --> 00:22:35,437
-Bravo! It seems to be working.
-Way to go! Nice!

460
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,522
[Ven. Sunjae] Then it all goes on the pan.

461
00:22:38,023 --> 00:22:40,067
Yes. It's faster too.

462
00:22:40,150 --> 00:22:42,903
-What? Yeah, it's much faster.
-Doing this, you can strain more.

463
00:22:43,403 --> 00:22:46,031
I think that's enough. And look.

464
00:22:48,492 --> 00:22:50,577
-[Hyo-nam] The chicken's done?
-[Son Jong-won] Yep.

465
00:22:50,660 --> 00:22:52,662
We just need to let them cook
in the sauce a bit.

466
00:22:52,746 --> 00:22:54,206
[Hyo-nam] Let's do that now.

467
00:22:57,959 --> 00:23:01,630
I see. They're finishing the chicken
by simmering them in the sauce.

468
00:23:02,130 --> 00:23:03,256
Yeah, that's right.

469
00:23:03,340 --> 00:23:04,466
[Hyo-nam] Thirteen.

470
00:23:05,300 --> 00:23:06,384
Fourteen.

471
00:23:06,468 --> 00:23:08,220
[upbeat music playing]

472
00:23:17,521 --> 00:23:21,775
[Sam] Pollack roe can't be too hot.
Otherwise, it won't taste right.

473
00:23:24,486 --> 00:23:26,822
-Oh, man, my arm really hurts.
-I can do it.

474
00:23:26,905 --> 00:23:28,281
No, it's okay. I've got it.

475
00:23:28,990 --> 00:23:30,158
[Hyo-nam] If it hurts…

476
00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:34,079
[Sam] Still, I did it. And I took my time,
even though I was sore.

477
00:23:35,580 --> 00:23:40,085
The only thing that worries me is that
the potatoes and chicken are cream-based.

478
00:23:41,044 --> 00:23:42,337
[Culinary Monster] How we doing?

479
00:23:42,420 --> 00:23:44,548
-[Witch with a Wok] Time to taste?
-[Culinary Monster] Yes.

480
00:23:45,674 --> 00:23:47,884
-Western versus Chinese cuisine.
-Yeah.

481
00:23:47,968 --> 00:23:49,386
We want ours to have a kick.

482
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:53,515
[Witch with a Wok] When you make the
kkanpunggi, your main focus is the sauce.

483
00:23:53,598 --> 00:23:57,602
So you want to make sure the chicken
absorbs as much sauce as possible.

484
00:23:57,686 --> 00:24:00,689
[Culinary Monster] The kkanpunggi
will be served with béchamel sauce

485
00:24:00,772 --> 00:24:02,941
made with pollock roe and Parmesan.

486
00:24:03,024 --> 00:24:05,569
-About three spoonfuls?
-[Rebellious Genius] That's perfect.

487
00:24:11,449 --> 00:24:13,827
-Let's try it.
-[Witch with a Wok] Should I prepare this?

488
00:24:13,910 --> 00:24:17,164
-No, just hold and try it.
-Here, this is the tester.

489
00:24:17,247 --> 00:24:20,750
It's a team match, and while all of us
have different specialties,

490
00:24:21,334 --> 00:24:23,170
we need to present something cohesive.

491
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,593
Hold on, don't take one piece.
We need to eat all of it together.

492
00:24:29,676 --> 00:24:32,137
-Try it with the sauce.
-Yeah, and the green onions too.

493
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:38,435
[Witch with a Wok] Is it bland?

494
00:24:39,811 --> 00:24:43,273
It's good, but I think we need
more sauce and more roe.

495
00:24:43,356 --> 00:24:44,649
Does it need more seasoning?

496
00:24:44,733 --> 00:24:46,735
-Should it be more acidic?
-Yeah. More acidity.

497
00:24:46,818 --> 00:24:49,404
Mmm-hmm. The spice tapers off at the end.

498
00:24:49,487 --> 00:24:52,490
-Let's check the kkanpunggi sauce.
-[Rebellious Genius] Roe is super creamy.

499
00:24:52,574 --> 00:24:53,909
[Witch with a Wok] Needs acidity.

500
00:24:55,827 --> 00:24:57,829
It felt, like, 2% off.

501
00:24:57,913 --> 00:25:01,875
The flavor wasn't exactly bad.
It just wasn't intense enough.

502
00:25:01,958 --> 00:25:03,835
Chef Witch, this is your specialty.

503
00:25:03,919 --> 00:25:05,503
So make it like you usually do.

504
00:25:05,587 --> 00:25:07,631
And Chef Genius, please add

505
00:25:07,714 --> 00:25:09,007
-more pollock roe.
-All right.

506
00:25:09,090 --> 00:25:10,675
Go with what you think is best.

507
00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:12,219
-It'll work with the cream.
-Right.

508
00:25:12,302 --> 00:25:14,304
[tense music playing]

509
00:25:18,975 --> 00:25:20,936
[Culinary Monster]
We need to start plating in 15.

510
00:25:21,019 --> 00:25:22,479
[Black Spoon chefs] Sounds good.

511
00:25:26,441 --> 00:25:28,902
[Yu-gang] The thing about cream
is that, if used correctly,

512
00:25:28,985 --> 00:25:30,862
you get a lovely, rich flavor.

513
00:25:31,404 --> 00:25:33,865
But if you're not careful,
it tastes greasy.

514
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:37,285
[Annyeong Bonjour] A lot of cream.

515
00:25:37,369 --> 00:25:40,538
-The mashed are creamy, chicken is too.
-Mash, cream, cheese, it's too heavy.

516
00:25:40,622 --> 00:25:41,748
-Too rich.
-Too much.

517
00:25:41,831 --> 00:25:43,375
It almost sounds greasy.

518
00:25:43,458 --> 00:25:44,876
Fricassee is really creamy,

519
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,171
so I felt like we needed something
to cut through the fattiness.

520
00:25:48,255 --> 00:25:51,841
So, as of right now,
we have mashed potatoes, then pollock roe,

521
00:25:51,925 --> 00:25:53,468
and then you want to add cream sauce.

522
00:25:53,551 --> 00:25:56,721
As is, I think the flavor,
it's just too much.

523
00:25:56,805 --> 00:25:59,808
-We need to add acidity as a kick.
-Exactly. That'll cut it.

524
00:25:59,891 --> 00:26:03,103
I think if you drizzle something,
like a reduced balsamic,

525
00:26:03,186 --> 00:26:05,730
and pour it around the mashed potatoes,
then when they scoop it…

526
00:26:06,356 --> 00:26:09,150
-[Son Jong-won] It'll add sweetness.
-[Kang-rok] You want the acidity.

527
00:26:09,234 --> 00:26:11,027
Then let's also add a lemon wedge.

528
00:26:11,111 --> 00:26:12,487
-Maybe grill it?
-[Sam] Or char it.

529
00:26:12,570 --> 00:26:13,738
Sure, either way works.

530
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,951
You get this nice scent
of freshly squeezed citrus.

531
00:26:18,868 --> 00:26:21,579
But since it's been charred,
it also tastes slightly baked

532
00:26:21,663 --> 00:26:23,039
even though the flavor's fresh.

533
00:26:26,042 --> 00:26:28,461
We asked Venerable Sunjae to torch them.

534
00:26:28,545 --> 00:26:30,171
I've never done this before.

535
00:26:31,673 --> 00:26:33,800
[Hee-eun] I like the lemon,
it'll add a nice kick.

536
00:26:33,883 --> 00:26:35,719
[Son Jong-won] Let's make a sample dish.

537
00:26:35,802 --> 00:26:38,054
[Hyo-nam] All right, place it.
Just like that.

538
00:26:38,138 --> 00:26:39,597
[Sam] First, it's savory layers.

539
00:26:39,681 --> 00:26:43,601
Mashed potatoes,
cream sauce, then the chicken.

540
00:26:43,685 --> 00:26:47,397
And then the kick. A little balsamic glaze
and some charred lemon.

541
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,481
CHARRED LEMON JUICE

542
00:26:48,565 --> 00:26:51,026
Creamy with a little bit
of acidic sweetness.

543
00:26:52,110 --> 00:26:53,611
Should we give them the lemon?

544
00:26:53,695 --> 00:26:55,864
-If it's not acidic enough?
-It's delicious.

545
00:26:56,448 --> 00:26:59,159
-Taste is great and texture's great.
-You remember the balsamic?

546
00:26:59,242 --> 00:27:00,076
Balsamic?

547
00:27:00,702 --> 00:27:01,870
Especially the texture.

548
00:27:01,953 --> 00:27:03,204
I think we nailed the potatoes.

549
00:27:03,288 --> 00:27:04,956
-The pollock roe--
-Yes, that's good too.

550
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,542
Well, it looks like
it got his seal of approval.

551
00:27:08,043 --> 00:27:10,128
[Hyo-nam] Okay, okay. Time to plate.

552
00:27:11,421 --> 00:27:13,548
-You added more balsamic?
-[Dweji-Gomtang in NY] Yeah.

553
00:27:13,631 --> 00:27:15,425
-And regular vinegar?
-No, I didn't.

554
00:27:17,844 --> 00:27:19,054
[Witch with a Wok] In my head,

555
00:27:19,137 --> 00:27:22,849
what I really wanted
was to smack the tastebuds of the judges.

556
00:27:22,932 --> 00:27:24,100
Just a little bit.

557
00:27:24,184 --> 00:27:25,977
Should I add chili oil? You think?

558
00:27:26,061 --> 00:27:27,896
-The spice is a bit weak.
-Good call.

559
00:27:27,979 --> 00:27:30,231
-Let's add chili oil.
-[Barbecue Lab Director] Need some?

560
00:27:30,315 --> 00:27:32,942
Yeah. You got it?
Wait, no, I saw it. Where is it?

561
00:27:33,443 --> 00:27:35,904
-The Lao Gan Ma. That one. There.
-Right. This one? Here.

562
00:27:35,987 --> 00:27:37,989
-Strain it. I just need the oil.
-Okay.

563
00:27:38,865 --> 00:27:42,702
-[Knife Omakase] We need it to be spicy.
-[Seoul Mother] That's the key here.

564
00:27:44,579 --> 00:27:46,581
-Here, Chef Witch. I got it.
-Just oil?

565
00:27:46,664 --> 00:27:47,499
Just oil.

566
00:27:47,582 --> 00:27:49,667
-Here, just in that little area.
-Here you go.

567
00:27:51,044 --> 00:27:53,046
[rock music playing]

568
00:28:01,179 --> 00:28:04,391
All right. One last taste,
then we plate. Here we go.

569
00:28:13,191 --> 00:28:14,401
Okay…

570
00:28:18,446 --> 00:28:19,280
Mmm.

571
00:28:19,364 --> 00:28:21,825
-[Witch with a Wok] Good? Better?
-[Dweji-Gomtang in NY] Yeah.

572
00:28:21,908 --> 00:28:23,576
-[Rebellious Genius] Think so?
-We got it.

573
00:28:23,660 --> 00:28:26,496
-[Rebellious Genius] Let's use it.
-[Dweji-Gomtang in NY] It's perfect.

574
00:28:27,330 --> 00:28:28,540
We all went, "Ah, okay."

575
00:28:28,623 --> 00:28:31,668
All five of us just kind of went,
"Oh! This is it."

576
00:28:31,751 --> 00:28:34,337
[sizzling]

577
00:28:40,093 --> 00:28:42,178
[Culinary Monster]
Chef, keep putting in chicken.

578
00:28:42,262 --> 00:28:43,638
[Dweji-Gomtang in NY] Got it.

579
00:28:46,433 --> 00:28:47,934
[Culinary Monster] We plate in ten.

580
00:28:48,935 --> 00:28:52,105
-I'm glad we have two woks.
-[Dweji-Gomtang in NY] Yeah. Great call.

581
00:28:52,188 --> 00:28:54,733
-[Son Jong-won] 40 minutes, let's plate.
-[Hyo-nam] All right.

582
00:28:54,816 --> 00:28:56,609
[Son Jong-won] One each. One scoop.

583
00:29:01,072 --> 00:29:02,365
-Chicken.
-Okay.

584
00:29:02,449 --> 00:29:03,700
-[Son Jong-won] Sauce.
-There.

585
00:29:03,783 --> 00:29:05,660
-[Sang-hyun] What do we need?
-[Hyo-nam] Place.

586
00:29:05,744 --> 00:29:07,287
-[Son Jong-won] This?
-[Hyo-nam] Okay.

587
00:29:07,370 --> 00:29:09,622
-Chef, these are a bit pink.
-Right.

588
00:29:09,706 --> 00:29:11,249
-We should add more pollock roe.
-Okay.

589
00:29:11,332 --> 00:29:13,042
-[Sam] So it's even.
-[Sang-hyun] On it.

590
00:29:16,463 --> 00:29:18,590
[Culinary Monster]
We should do the second fry now.

591
00:29:18,673 --> 00:29:22,177
[Rebellious Genius]
Second fry. Starting now.

592
00:29:22,260 --> 00:29:24,262
[dramatic music playing]

593
00:29:26,222 --> 00:29:27,056
-I think…
-Yes?

594
00:29:27,140 --> 00:29:28,850
I think just one spoonful is good.

595
00:29:28,933 --> 00:29:30,351
-Just don't spill.
-One for each.

596
00:29:30,435 --> 00:29:32,020
From the left? Does it matter?

597
00:29:32,103 --> 00:29:33,980
-No, it doesn't. We've already started.
-Okay.

598
00:29:38,777 --> 00:29:40,153
[sizzling]

599
00:29:41,070 --> 00:29:43,072
[Witch with a Wok]
I'm gonna toss some chicken.

600
00:29:45,033 --> 00:29:46,618
[Barbecue Lab Director] You need this?

601
00:29:47,535 --> 00:29:49,871
-[Culinary Monster] No, use it.
-[Witch with a Wok] Okay.

602
00:29:53,917 --> 00:29:57,712
[Sung-jae] You can smell the chicken
more than the squid. The smell--

603
00:29:57,796 --> 00:29:59,339
-It's mouthwatering.
-Yeah.

604
00:29:59,422 --> 00:30:02,342
[Paik Jong-won] Right now, there's
no telling whose dish will be better.

605
00:30:02,842 --> 00:30:06,179
The smoky flavor of that kkanpunggi
will be hard to beat.

606
00:30:06,721 --> 00:30:09,432
Looks like this match
might be another flavor battle.

607
00:30:10,433 --> 00:30:11,726
-But reversed.
-Reversed?

608
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:12,644
[chuckles] Yeah.

609
00:30:12,727 --> 00:30:15,939
I think… that's more to my taste.

610
00:30:16,022 --> 00:30:19,275
The White Spoons'. Potatoes, chicken…

611
00:30:22,862 --> 00:30:25,824
[Brewmaster Yun] And they're sprinkling
a bit of cheese too.

612
00:30:25,907 --> 00:30:28,535
-Like this?
-Yes, it should be standing. Like this.

613
00:30:28,618 --> 00:30:30,745
-Yeah, and in the same direction.
-Exactly.

614
00:30:30,829 --> 00:30:32,789
That way, they can grab and squeeze it.

615
00:30:33,748 --> 00:30:36,709
-What if we add a bit of pollack roe?
-As garnish?

616
00:30:36,793 --> 00:30:38,253
-So they see it.
-Sounds good.

617
00:30:38,336 --> 00:30:40,338
[Son Jong-won] This way,
they know it's there.

618
00:30:40,421 --> 00:30:42,131
We decided to add it at the end.

619
00:30:42,215 --> 00:30:46,302
But with this kind of dish,
those tiny details can be so important.

620
00:30:46,386 --> 00:30:48,137
Every bite should be delicious.

621
00:30:49,097 --> 00:30:50,098
How's it going?

622
00:30:50,807 --> 00:30:53,268
Okay, but got a bit to go.

623
00:30:57,647 --> 00:30:59,524
[Culinary Monster]
Move the clean plates over.

624
00:30:59,607 --> 00:31:01,317
[Witch with a Wok] All right, I'm on it.

625
00:31:03,736 --> 00:31:06,322
-[Seoul Mother] Here we go!
-[Brewmaster Yun] Let's go!

626
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,615
Hang in there, guys!

627
00:31:10,994 --> 00:31:12,996
[Son Jong-won]
Let's try to speed it up a bit.

628
00:31:19,085 --> 00:31:20,628
-These done?
-[Hyo-nam] They're done.

629
00:31:20,712 --> 00:31:22,171
[Sang-hyun] Those can go.

630
00:31:24,507 --> 00:31:26,467
[Hyo-nam] Double check the lemon. Great.

631
00:31:26,551 --> 00:31:28,136
[Deok-juk] The flavors
couldn't be more different.

632
00:31:28,219 --> 00:31:29,554
[Yu-gang] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

633
00:31:29,637 --> 00:31:32,473
[Hee-eun] I like how they reflect
each team's personality.

634
00:31:33,224 --> 00:31:34,058
Great job.

635
00:31:36,269 --> 00:31:37,937
[Brewmaster Yun] Great job, you guys!

636
00:31:38,021 --> 00:31:40,273
-Nice work, everyone.
-Congratulations!

637
00:31:40,356 --> 00:31:41,900
-Well done.
-Thanks, you too.

638
00:31:43,902 --> 00:31:46,237
-[Yu-gang] White Spoons!
-The final two!

639
00:31:46,321 --> 00:31:47,447
[whooping]

640
00:31:51,826 --> 00:31:54,871
-[host] The second dish is complete.
-[chefs cheering]

641
00:31:54,954 --> 00:31:59,208
5-ON-5 FACE-OFF
END OF COOKING

642
00:31:59,292 --> 00:32:01,002
-Great work.
-You too.

643
00:32:01,669 --> 00:32:03,880
-You did great. Nice job.
-[both] Thanks.

644
00:32:04,505 --> 00:32:06,382
-[Hyo-nam] Good job, everyone.
-It's all over.

645
00:32:06,466 --> 00:32:07,926
-Well done.
-You too.

646
00:32:08,009 --> 00:32:08,927
Well done.

647
00:32:09,010 --> 00:32:10,762
[dramatic orchestral music playing]

648
00:32:15,516 --> 00:32:19,979
-[Seoul Mother] That took a lot of effort.
-[Witch with a Wok] Our flavor's bolder.

649
00:32:20,063 --> 00:32:21,731
[Sam] It was really interesting.

650
00:32:21,814 --> 00:32:26,569
I think the first match really influenced
how they approached the second match.

651
00:32:26,653 --> 00:32:29,113
You could tell
they were really focused on flavor.

652
00:32:29,197 --> 00:32:33,409
I have to say, I think their plates
were more full than ours were.

653
00:32:33,493 --> 00:32:35,370
And they seemed to have some depth.

654
00:32:36,454 --> 00:32:38,665
[Barbecue Lab Director]
We've got a good shot this time.

655
00:32:40,249 --> 00:32:41,751
Hello. Thank you.

656
00:32:42,543 --> 00:32:45,088
[dramatic orchestral music continues]

657
00:32:52,345 --> 00:32:54,472
For this match,
we wanted to prepare a dish

658
00:32:54,555 --> 00:32:57,850
that we thought would be
just as bold as it was delicious.

659
00:32:57,934 --> 00:33:00,728
TEAM BLACK SPOON
KKANPUNGGI WITH ROE SAUCE

660
00:33:01,312 --> 00:33:04,315
Served on a bed
of savory pollock roe cream sauce

661
00:33:04,399 --> 00:33:08,820
is our sweet and spicy crispy kkanpunggi
topped with green onion.

662
00:33:09,779 --> 00:33:12,740
[Culinary Monster] In my opinion,
Chinese cuisine is the most delicious

663
00:33:12,824 --> 00:33:13,741
in the world.

664
00:33:13,825 --> 00:33:15,493
So I had high hopes for us.

665
00:33:16,119 --> 00:33:18,830
For this match,
we've prepared a dish that we call

666
00:33:18,913 --> 00:33:21,124
"Cock-a-doodle-doo Embracing Pollock Roe."

667
00:33:21,207 --> 00:33:23,418
TEAM WHITE SPOON
COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO EMBRACING POLLOCK ROE

668
00:33:23,501 --> 00:33:26,212
It's a new take on a French classic,
chicken fricassee,

669
00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:30,925
nestled in a potato puree with pollock roe

670
00:33:31,884 --> 00:33:34,220
and served with a charred lemon wedge,

671
00:33:34,303 --> 00:33:37,890
which if you squeeze a bit
will give the dish an even better flavor.

672
00:33:37,974 --> 00:33:39,976
[dramatic music playing]

673
00:34:00,705 --> 00:34:02,165
[chuckling] I'm so nervous.

674
00:34:03,666 --> 00:34:07,003
Come on, guys. We got this. Please.

[intriguing music playing]

676
00:34:30,193 --> 00:34:31,694
[Sam] I think ours is better.

677
00:34:31,778 --> 00:34:33,613
-[Hyo-nam] It's very savory.
-[Sang-hyun] Yes.

678
00:34:34,322 --> 00:34:36,491
[Witch with a Wok]
You think it was too mild?

679
00:34:52,715 --> 00:34:55,134
[intriguing music continues]

Please!

682
00:35:08,272 --> 00:35:09,899
The pollock roe's in both sauces.

POLLOCK ROE MASHED POTATOES
POLLOCK ROE CREAM SAUCE

684
00:35:12,276 --> 00:35:14,862
-I don't think they used a lot of it.
-No. Just a bit.

685
00:35:14,946 --> 00:35:16,447
Yeah, it's very mild.

686
00:35:16,948 --> 00:35:19,659
-So is the kkanpunggi sauce.
-Right.

687
00:35:19,742 --> 00:35:23,538
But if it were stronger, you wouldn't
taste the pollock roe at all.

688
00:35:23,621 --> 00:35:25,915
Hmm. I'm torn.

689
00:35:25,998 --> 00:35:30,753
The Black Spoons changed their strategy
and went bolder. But the White Spoons…

690
00:35:30,837 --> 00:35:31,712
-One sec.
-Yeah?

691
00:35:31,796 --> 00:35:32,964
I'm cleaning my knife.

00:35:35,424 --> 00:35:37,301

-[host] The tasting has officially ended.
-No, wait, I'm not done.

698
00:36:07,790 --> 00:36:09,750
And now, we will proceed

of the returning judges.

707

00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:02,803
Next, Judge Paik Jong-won,
please reveal your vote.

711
00:37:02,887 --> 00:37:04,722
-White Spoon.
-Please.

JUDGE PAIK JONG-WON
VOTED FOR TEAM BLACK SPOON

713
00:37:09,268 --> 00:37:10,519
[cheering]

714
00:37:11,979 --> 00:37:13,940
-Wow.
-I'm shaking.

715
00:37:14,023 --> 00:37:17,777
I've eaten a lot of kkanpunggi,
but it's never been this delicious.

716
00:37:17,860 --> 00:37:21,113
Even with the pollock roe,
it feels very luxurious.

717
00:37:21,197 --> 00:37:22,365
I'd love to eat it again.

718
00:37:24,283 --> 00:37:25,785
At the start of the tasting,

719
00:37:25,868 --> 00:37:29,830
you said you wanted to prepare a dish
that was "as bold as it was delicious."

720
00:37:29,914 --> 00:37:33,000
But that wasn't the impression I got.

721
00:37:33,084 --> 00:37:36,379
To me, the flavor seemed
more delicate than bold.

722
00:37:36,963 --> 00:37:40,216
And ultimately, that's what kept me
from really enjoying it.

723
00:37:40,841 --> 00:37:41,759
On the other hand,

724
00:37:41,842 --> 00:37:45,263
Cock-a-doodle-doo Embracing Pollock Roe
was flavorful and delicious.

725
00:37:45,346 --> 00:37:48,975
It's very classic,
but there's a lot of depth and wit here.

726
00:37:49,058 --> 00:37:49,892
And the lemon?

727
00:37:51,185 --> 00:37:55,856
When I took it and added a few drops
as per Chef Son's suggestion,

728
00:37:56,816 --> 00:37:58,818
it really came together for me.

729
00:37:58,901 --> 00:38:01,112
And even though it was the tiniest amount,

730
00:38:01,195 --> 00:38:05,324
the extra pollock roe you added
was subtle but really made a difference.

731
00:38:05,992 --> 00:38:08,869
And those tiny details
really added to the dish.

732
00:38:08,953 --> 00:38:11,122
[Son Jong-won]
I think we did all that we could.

733
00:38:11,622 --> 00:38:15,042
And when you work hard
and do everything right, you can't lose.

734
00:38:15,126 --> 00:38:19,005
They did good. I think
the White Spoon Team really delivered.

735
00:38:19,088 --> 00:38:22,967
So they're 50-50. With everyone else,
I hope it comes out to 60-40.

736
00:38:23,050 --> 00:38:25,886

of the first match are as follows.

is leading by 32 points.

740

if not better than them.

745

in our food. We could win on taste alone.

Our dish just wasn't as good, was it?

759
00:39:50,012 --> 00:39:54,392
It'll be difficult,
but we need to keep fighting.

All or Nothing.

768
00:40:25,673 --> 00:40:30,344
In this third and final match,
the fate of your team will be decided

769
00:40:30,428 --> 00:40:33,139
in a three-on-three battle of the aces.

770
00:40:36,434 --> 00:40:39,270
For this final match, your judging panel…

771
00:40:41,730 --> 00:40:43,899
has been reduced to ten.

772
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,610
-…reduced to ten.
-[both] Oh!

773
00:40:46,694 --> 00:40:48,154
-That means--
-So ten points? Okay.

774
00:40:48,237 --> 00:40:52,408
[host] This means that each vote
is now worth a total of ten points.

775
00:40:52,491 --> 00:40:54,410
-Okay, that's a lot of points.
-Ten each, huh?

776
00:40:54,493 --> 00:40:56,662
This just got way more intense.

777
00:40:56,745 --> 00:40:58,706

from this round

00:40:58,789 --> 00:41:01,250
will be added to the existing scores,

779
00:41:01,333 --> 00:41:02,918
and your fate will be decided

780
00:41:03,002 --> 00:41:06,547
based on the total number of points
accumulated in all three rounds.

781
00:41:06,630 --> 00:41:08,299
-So what do we need?
-Seven to three.

782
00:41:08,382 --> 00:41:10,468
We need at least seven votes
to survive this round.

783
00:41:10,551 --> 00:41:11,385
Yeah. That many.

784
00:41:11,469 --> 00:41:13,095
We need to get at least four.

785
00:41:14,430 --> 00:41:16,015
We could make a comeback here.

786
00:41:16,098 --> 00:41:19,852
Who knows? If we make something
good enough, we could pull this off.

787
00:41:19,935 --> 00:41:22,813
We just need four votes.
So let's aim for half.

788
00:41:22,897 --> 00:41:25,774
I think we can easily
win over five of our judges.

789
00:41:25,858 --> 00:41:28,986

we will introduce the rest of the judges.

00:43:08,419 --> 00:43:11,380
instead of having to face up
against a respected colleague.

818
00:43:11,463 --> 00:43:13,757
I'm Jung Ji-sun, Chinese cuisine chef.

819
00:43:13,841 --> 00:43:15,259
I'm Cooking Maniac.

820
00:43:15,342 --> 00:43:16,885
Auntie Omakase, Kim Mi-ryeong.

821
00:43:16,969 --> 00:43:18,429
Jang Ho-joon, son of Tongyeong.

822
00:43:18,512 --> 00:43:21,473
I'm Lu Chinglai, Chinese cuisine chef.

823
00:43:21,557 --> 00:43:24,143
I'm so happy to see many of my seniors.

824
00:43:24,226 --> 00:43:26,645
This show is an incredible experience,

825
00:43:26,729 --> 00:43:30,024
so I just want to take a moment
to wish all of you the best of luck.

826
00:43:30,107 --> 00:43:31,233
That's right, guys.

827
00:43:33,027 --> 00:43:35,904
[host] Because this match
has a specialized judging panel,

828
00:43:36,572 --> 00:43:39,199
each of their votes
holds significant weight.

829
00:43:39,742 --> 00:43:42,911
A single vote could change
the outcome of the Team Battle.

830
00:43:43,412 --> 00:43:46,749
Well, all of them are chefs,
so they really know their stuff.

831
00:43:46,832 --> 00:43:49,126
They've all been in this position before.

832
00:43:49,209 --> 00:43:51,920
I figured they'd be
very insightful critics.

833
00:43:52,004 --> 00:43:53,422
[Sung-woon] It's an all-chef panel.

834
00:43:53,505 --> 00:43:56,050
They're more sensitive to taste
than the average person.

835
00:43:57,259 --> 00:44:00,137
So, yeah, there's a lot of pressure
going into this match.

836
00:44:00,804 --> 00:44:03,390
[host] Each team
will now select three aces,

837
00:44:03,474 --> 00:44:06,477
who will be responsible
for the fate of their team.

838
00:44:08,020 --> 00:44:10,230
We will now reveal the six chefs

839
00:44:10,314 --> 00:44:13,942
who have been selected
to compete in the battle of the aces.

840
00:44:14,026 --> 00:44:16,779
White Spoon Team, Son Jong-won.

841
00:44:16,862 --> 00:44:18,906
[White Spoon chefs whooping]

842
00:44:20,324 --> 00:44:22,159
[Son Jong-won]
We can't let our guard down.

843
00:44:22,701 --> 00:44:23,827
I wanna win.

844
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,538
[host] Jung Ho-young.

845
00:44:27,915 --> 00:44:28,916
Sam Kim.

846
00:44:33,128 --> 00:44:35,464
I think the White Spoons
are pretty stacked.

847
00:44:35,547 --> 00:44:38,425
But we're more unique, so there. [laughs]

848
00:44:38,509 --> 00:44:40,844
[host] Black Spoon Team, Culinary Monster.

849
00:44:40,928 --> 00:44:44,139
-[whooping]
-[Rebellious Genius] What an ace!

850
00:44:44,223 --> 00:44:47,226
[Culinary Monster] I said I'd do it,
so I'm back for match three.

851
00:44:47,309 --> 00:44:48,811
We have to win this round.

852
00:44:49,395 --> 00:44:50,896
[host] Barbecue Lab Director.

853
00:44:51,730 --> 00:44:53,065
Knife Omakase.

854
00:44:58,153 --> 00:44:59,696
To be honest, I didn't--

855
00:44:59,780 --> 00:45:02,699
I knew the Black Spoon Team
was going to be good,

856
00:45:02,783 --> 00:45:05,494
but, I just wanted to focus on
what our team was doing.

857
00:45:05,577 --> 00:45:09,164
I wasn't too worried.
I just had to do a good job. That's it.

858
00:45:09,748 --> 00:45:12,251
[host] For this three-on-three
battle of the aces,

859
00:45:13,585 --> 00:45:15,504
the judges have selected

860
00:45:16,255 --> 00:45:18,340
a hidden ingredient to be utilized.

861
00:45:18,424 --> 00:45:20,634
[all exclaiming]

862
00:45:20,717 --> 00:45:22,845
…a hidden ingredient to be utilized.

863
00:45:22,928 --> 00:45:24,138
-Ah!
-What?

864
00:45:25,180 --> 00:45:27,433
I guess that was a pointless meeting.

865
00:45:27,516 --> 00:45:30,018
Don't worry,
we've talked this over a hundred times.

866
00:45:30,102 --> 00:45:31,728
Oh no, this isn't good.

867
00:45:32,855 --> 00:45:34,857
I swear I could feel the heat rising.

868
00:45:35,357 --> 00:45:37,025
We saw what was left.

869
00:45:37,109 --> 00:45:39,778
I swear, we went over every combination,

870
00:45:39,862 --> 00:45:42,281
every recipe, every single possibility,

871
00:45:42,865 --> 00:45:43,991
and then…

872
00:45:44,074 --> 00:45:48,120
"Surprise! Hidden ingredient!"
I mean, it really pissed me off!

873
00:45:48,203 --> 00:45:51,206
Hidden ingredients,
hidden judges… [chuckles]

874
00:45:51,290 --> 00:45:53,208
Hidden White Spoons… [chuckles]

875
00:45:53,292 --> 00:45:56,003
-It just never ends.
-[Seong-keun] Why do they keep doing this?

876
00:45:56,086 --> 00:45:56,962
Why?

877
00:45:57,045 --> 00:45:59,339
[host] Once the hidden ingredient
is revealed,

878
00:46:00,048 --> 00:46:02,843
each team will select
one of the remaining ingredients

879
00:46:02,926 --> 00:46:05,721
that they believe will pair best
with the judge's selection.

880
00:46:05,804 --> 00:46:09,391
You must then find a way
to utilize both of the key ingredients,

881
00:46:09,892 --> 00:46:14,104
to create an incredible dish which you
will present to the final judging panel.

882
00:46:14,188 --> 00:46:15,022
What is it?

883
00:46:16,773 --> 00:46:17,691
-Huh?
-Let's see.

884
00:46:17,774 --> 00:46:19,776
[dramatic music playing]

885
00:46:20,777 --> 00:46:23,822
[host] Before we begin,
the judges will reveal

886
00:46:23,906 --> 00:46:26,366
-the hidden ingredient they have chosen.
-[chuckling]

887
00:46:26,450 --> 00:46:27,951
-Look at those.
-They're shiny.

888
00:46:28,035 --> 00:46:29,828
[Witch with a Wok] What's inside, though?

889
00:46:29,912 --> 00:46:31,914
[dramatic music continues]

890
00:46:36,084 --> 00:46:38,921
[judges exclaiming, laughing]

891
00:46:40,589 --> 00:46:43,425
[exclaims, laughs]

892
00:46:45,594 --> 00:46:47,888
[host] Please reveal
the hidden ingredient.

893
00:46:48,597 --> 00:46:51,391
[judges exclaiming, laughing]

894
00:46:51,475 --> 00:46:53,894
-[Hee-eun] Tofu.
-Tofu?

895
00:46:53,977 --> 00:46:55,479
-Why?
-Oh god.

896
00:46:55,562 --> 00:46:57,731
-[Seoul Mother] It's back!
-Tofu.

897
00:46:57,814 --> 00:46:59,149
-Oh, what?
-Tofu, tofu.

898
00:47:00,442 --> 00:47:01,693
[both] Tofu.

899
00:47:01,777 --> 00:47:04,780
Is this going to be a running joke
in every season?

900
00:47:04,863 --> 00:47:08,075
[judges exclaiming, laughing]

901
00:47:13,372 --> 00:47:15,207
-Oh man.
-[Hee-eun] This is fun.

902
00:47:15,290 --> 00:47:16,667
THE HIDDEN INGREDIENT, TOFU

903
00:47:16,750 --> 00:47:21,004
You'd think after last season,
they'd pick different key ingredients.

904
00:47:21,588 --> 00:47:24,508
And of all the things to repeat, why tofu?

905
00:47:24,591 --> 00:47:26,426
I'm sure you weren't expecting this.

906
00:47:26,510 --> 00:47:28,136
-Nope.
-[Brewmaster Yun] I'm shocked.

907
00:47:28,220 --> 00:47:31,515
[Paik Jong-won] Don't let your guard down.
Make something delicious.

908
00:47:31,598 --> 00:47:36,645
Last season, I think I ate
about maybe 27 tofu dishes?

909
00:47:38,981 --> 00:47:42,025
-And even now, I'm keeping my distance.
-[chuckling]

910
00:47:42,109 --> 00:47:47,072
However, as this is a battle of aces,
my expectations are high.

911
00:47:47,155 --> 00:47:48,407
Oof.

912
00:47:48,490 --> 00:47:50,909
Seeing that tofu
makes me want to cook it again.

913
00:47:50,993 --> 00:47:52,953
[judges laugh]

914
00:47:53,036 --> 00:47:55,038
Just do your best. [laughs]

915
00:48:00,794 --> 00:48:03,922
[host] Finally, in order to ensure
a fair evaluation,

916
00:48:04,006 --> 00:48:08,719
the eight additional judges will not be
allowed to watch your cooking process.

917
00:48:10,178 --> 00:48:12,848
They will not know
which team made which dish.

918
00:48:12,931 --> 00:48:14,683
-Wow, okay.
-Which means,

919
00:48:14,766 --> 00:48:17,352
the outcome will be determined by taste.

920
00:48:17,436 --> 00:48:18,437
That's fair.

921
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:19,354
Yeah.

922
00:48:20,105 --> 00:48:23,191
[host] Please lower the blinds
for the special judging panel.

923
00:48:23,984 --> 00:48:25,485
[whoops]

924
00:48:25,569 --> 00:48:26,778
Let's go!

925
00:48:27,279 --> 00:48:30,073
You've got this! Do your best!

926
00:48:34,453 --> 00:48:37,789
[host] The eight special judges
must now exit the room.

927
00:48:39,708 --> 00:48:42,252
-[Paik Jong-won] Oh man.
-[Hyun-seok] Here we go.

928
00:48:42,336 --> 00:48:44,212
[Napoli Matfia] Good luck to 'em.

929
00:48:54,848 --> 00:48:58,018
[host] Now then,
each team will be able to meet

930
00:48:58,894 --> 00:49:02,814
in order to decide
what ingredient they would like to select

931
00:49:02,898 --> 00:49:05,108
to pair with the hidden ingredient.

932
00:49:05,734 --> 00:49:07,444
Eight ingredients remain.

933
00:49:07,527 --> 00:49:11,865
You are allowed to pick any ingredient,
even two from the same Wheel of Fate.

934
00:49:11,948 --> 00:49:15,452
However, since the White Spoon Team
won the second match,

935
00:49:15,535 --> 00:49:17,746
they will be able to pick
their ingredient first.

936
00:49:17,829 --> 00:49:20,248
The time limit
for the three-on-three battle of the aces

937
00:49:20,332 --> 00:49:21,541
is 60 minutes.

938
00:49:22,250 --> 00:49:25,712
It all comes down to what they pick.
It's gonna get interesting.

939
00:49:28,256 --> 00:49:31,593
[Knife Omakase] Let's stick to the plan.
As best we can.

940
00:49:31,677 --> 00:49:36,431
There's a dish where you have these lime
slices served on top of somyeon noodles.

941
00:49:36,515 --> 00:49:40,435
The broth is acidic,
so it has a tangy, sour taste.

942
00:49:40,519 --> 00:49:42,562
Whatever they give us, we can use it here.

943
00:49:42,646 --> 00:49:45,982
But we weren't in a great place,
so I had to convince my teammates,

944
00:49:46,066 --> 00:49:47,818
like, "Trust me."

945
00:49:47,901 --> 00:49:50,821
Anyone who displays
that kind of determination,

946
00:49:50,904 --> 00:49:53,490
I felt like I should trust them
to a certain extent.

947
00:49:53,573 --> 00:49:55,534
So we've got tofu. What else?

948
00:49:55,617 --> 00:49:57,994
-[all exclaiming]
-[Culinary Monster] Tofu?

949
00:50:00,747 --> 00:50:03,333
[host] The judges will reveal
the hidden ingredient…

950
00:50:03,417 --> 00:50:05,085
-Tofu and tsuyu.
-Oh, yeah.

951
00:50:05,168 --> 00:50:07,003
-Like kongguksu.
-That's good.

952
00:50:07,087 --> 00:50:09,381
-But it can't be thick, should be clear.
-Okay, got it.

953
00:50:09,464 --> 00:50:12,801
If you blend it right,
it should resemble kongguksu broth.

954
00:50:12,884 --> 00:50:15,679
I think making
a tofu-based broth is great.

955
00:50:15,762 --> 00:50:18,724
-Me too. It's better in the broth.
-I'm worried it'll be similar to theirs.

956
00:50:18,807 --> 00:50:20,559
[Witch with a Wok]
I don't think it matters.

957
00:50:20,642 --> 00:50:22,978
-I guess if ours tastes better…
-[Witch with a Wok] Exactly.

958
00:50:23,061 --> 00:50:24,146
[exhales deeply]

959
00:50:24,855 --> 00:50:26,857
-[Sam] This is hard. Ugh.
-[Hyo-nam] It is.

960
00:50:29,609 --> 00:50:31,278
Tofu, tofu…

961
00:50:32,654 --> 00:50:36,908
I just…
Man, it just had to be tofu. [laughs]

962
00:50:36,992 --> 00:50:38,368
It's weirdly inflexible.

963
00:50:38,452 --> 00:50:41,163
Like, it's so perfect,
you can't play around with it.

964
00:50:41,246 --> 00:50:43,331
How do you make it better than it is?

965
00:50:43,415 --> 00:50:46,752
-Just pick something you're confident in.
-[Seong-keun] Exactly.

966
00:50:47,419 --> 00:50:50,130
[Ho-young] That's when
that huge wave of pressure hit.

967
00:50:50,213 --> 00:50:51,423
This was it.

968
00:50:51,506 --> 00:50:55,594
From that point on,
the fate of our team was in our hands.

969
00:50:57,554 --> 00:51:01,099
The only way to survive
was to create the best dish.

970
00:51:01,975 --> 00:51:06,062
You had to. So the three of us set out
to make something really flavorful,

971
00:51:06,146 --> 00:51:10,233
Something with a lot of depth
that enhances the key ingredients.

972
00:51:10,776 --> 00:51:11,860
That was the key.

973
00:51:12,486 --> 00:51:15,822
[host] The White Spoon Team
has selected rockfish.

974
00:51:15,906 --> 00:51:17,824
[White Spoon chefs whoop, applaud]

975
00:51:19,034 --> 00:51:20,076
Rockfish.

976
00:51:21,203 --> 00:51:22,829
It took us a bit to decide

977
00:51:22,913 --> 00:51:26,249
whether to choose
the veal loin or the rockfish.

978
00:51:26,333 --> 00:51:28,043
And ultimately, we chose the latter.

979
00:51:28,126 --> 00:51:30,295
-Right.
-Veal's got completely different flavor.

980
00:51:30,378 --> 00:51:33,048
-Plus, it's really dry.
-[Ho-young] There's no fat, right?

981
00:51:33,131 --> 00:51:34,800
-None at all.
-[Ho-young] It's young calf.

982
00:51:34,883 --> 00:51:37,093
I think tofu pairs well with rockfish.

983
00:51:38,136 --> 00:51:39,513
-Huh.
-What do you think?

984
00:51:39,596 --> 00:51:41,056
-I like that.
-[Kang-rok] Huh?

985
00:51:41,139 --> 00:51:42,140
Do you have an idea?

986
00:51:42,724 --> 00:51:43,975
I was thinking…

987
00:51:44,976 --> 00:51:48,188
we'll put the tofu here
and slice up some vegetables.

988
00:51:48,271 --> 00:51:51,608
Like, as a fish cake
and then we top with grilled rockfish.

989
00:51:51,691 --> 00:51:56,112
And then, we'll serve with a thick sauce
made of Japanese dashi stock.

990
00:51:56,196 --> 00:51:58,240
There's a Japanese dish
called kenchin-mushi.

991
00:51:58,323 --> 00:52:01,618
You take tofu
and you strain it until it becomes fine,

992
00:52:01,701 --> 00:52:03,703
then you add what you want and steam it.

993
00:52:03,787 --> 00:52:06,289
Lay a bit of rockfish
over the top of that,

994
00:52:06,373 --> 00:52:08,041
and then you get this lovely dish

995
00:52:08,124 --> 00:52:11,837
that combines delicious rockfish,
soft tofu, and rich sauce.

996
00:52:13,338 --> 00:52:16,216
Tofu tends to absorb
the flavors of what it's paired with,

997
00:52:16,299 --> 00:52:18,677
so we thought seafood would be better.

998
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:20,095
What else should we use?

999
00:52:21,137 --> 00:52:23,098
-What do you think about the loin?
-The loin?

1000
00:52:23,181 --> 00:52:25,308
I think it's a fairly safe option.

1001
00:52:25,392 --> 00:52:27,352
Chill it, slice it, serve on top.

1002
00:52:27,435 --> 00:52:30,856
-But we have an hour. You can do that?
-[Barbecue Lab Director] Yes.

1003
00:52:30,939 --> 00:52:32,023
In under an hour?

1004
00:52:32,107 --> 00:52:34,860
I can have it ready
with five, ten minutes to spare.

1005
00:52:34,943 --> 00:52:36,444
-From the end?
-It's too risky.

1006
00:52:36,528 --> 00:52:38,488
-It's way too tight.
-Maybe 20 minutes then?

1007
00:52:38,572 --> 00:52:42,158
It might be close, but I'm confident
I'll be able to pull it off in time.

1008
00:52:42,242 --> 00:52:43,618
If you can do it, do it.

1009
00:52:43,702 --> 00:52:45,453
-I know it's possible. Yes.
-Let's do that.

1010
00:52:46,997 --> 00:52:50,834
[host] The Black Spoon Team
has chosen the bone-in veal loin.

1011
00:52:50,917 --> 00:52:52,919
[chefs applauding]

1012
00:52:56,214 --> 00:52:57,591
Why? [laughs]

1013
00:52:57,674 --> 00:53:00,468
Why'd they do that?
You only have an hour to cook that.

1014
00:53:01,052 --> 00:53:02,679
[Knife Omakase] Of the contestants here,

1015
00:53:02,762 --> 00:53:05,348
when it comes to meat,
he knows more than anyone.

1016
00:53:05,432 --> 00:53:07,601
As a team,
we should play to our strengths.

1017
00:53:07,684 --> 00:53:10,729
And if this is his,
let's use it to our advantage.

1018
00:53:10,812 --> 00:53:14,524
For garnish, I think
just a bit of fried tofu, the veal,

1019
00:53:14,608 --> 00:53:16,860
and under that, fresh slices of lime.

1020
00:53:16,943 --> 00:53:18,862
It's a cold and refreshing noodle dish.

1021
00:53:18,945 --> 00:53:22,616
It's basically naengmyeon,
but in a tofu broth and served with meat.

1022
00:53:22,699 --> 00:53:24,618
COLD TOFU SOBA
WITH SLICED VEAL SIRLOIN

1023
00:53:24,701 --> 00:53:27,120
Traditionally,
lime is paired with seafood.

1024
00:53:27,996 --> 00:53:30,373
So when you pair it with meat,
it's different.

1025
00:53:30,457 --> 00:53:33,501
And these guys are chefs,
so they're flavor experts.

1026
00:53:33,585 --> 00:53:34,711
Let's excite them.

1027
00:53:34,794 --> 00:53:36,421
-We can get enough points to win.
-Right.

1028
00:53:36,504 --> 00:53:38,423
-So let's do this.
-And remember, have fun.

1029
00:53:38,506 --> 00:53:40,842
-Exactly, remember to enjoy it.
-It's all up from here.

1030
00:53:40,926 --> 00:53:43,428
-You'll do great.
-[all] One, two, three. Let's go!

1031
00:53:43,511 --> 00:53:45,138
[all] Let's go, White Spoons!

1032
00:53:45,221 --> 00:53:46,181
[Sung-woon] Yeah!

1033
00:53:47,766 --> 00:53:49,851
[Seoul Mother] I hope we make it through.

1034
00:53:50,435 --> 00:53:51,853
It's all up to fate now.

1035
00:53:51,937 --> 00:53:54,773
It's like-- It's just like those things.
The Wheels of Fate.

1036
00:53:54,856 --> 00:53:57,776
-[Rebellious Genius] Metaphor.
-[Seoul Mother] We're riding it together.

1037
00:53:58,777 --> 00:54:03,448
[host] Round 3,
Black versus White Spoon, All or Nothing.

1038
00:54:03,531 --> 00:54:06,368
Your third match,
the three-on-three battle of the aces,

1039
00:54:06,451 --> 00:54:07,994
will now begin!

1040
00:54:08,078 --> 00:54:09,579
-[chefs whooping]
-[Yu-gang] Let's go!

1041
00:54:09,663 --> 00:54:11,915
-[Seong-keun] Go, White Spoons!
-[Yu-gang] Let's do this!

1042
00:54:13,333 --> 00:54:15,627
-Time for a comeback!
-[all] Let's go!

1043
00:54:15,710 --> 00:54:18,338
-No comebacks today!
-[laughs]

1044
00:54:18,421 --> 00:54:20,966
I knew we only needed four points to win,

1045
00:54:21,049 --> 00:54:24,678
but I never thought, "Oh, this'll be easy.
We'll just coast our way to victory,"

1046
00:54:24,761 --> 00:54:26,846
because you never know with this show.

1047
00:54:26,930 --> 00:54:28,348
We could win this challenge.

1048
00:54:28,431 --> 00:54:31,559
But getting seven votes?
That was gonna be hard.

1049
00:54:31,643 --> 00:54:33,728
Wow, these are super fresh.

1050
00:54:35,230 --> 00:54:36,606
[Seong-keun] Those are big.

1051
00:54:37,816 --> 00:54:41,111
Looks like Chef Sam's
in charge of the rockfish.

1052
00:54:42,278 --> 00:54:45,198
[Yu-gang] Naturally,
that's probably who I'd pick.

1053
00:54:45,281 --> 00:54:47,492
You want
a Western cuisine chef to fillet it.

1054
00:54:48,952 --> 00:54:50,954
[dramatic music playing]

1055
00:54:51,705 --> 00:54:54,249
This is Chef Jung's area of expertise.

1056
00:54:54,332 --> 00:54:57,168
He knows the recipe,
so I'm better off assisting him.

1057
00:54:57,252 --> 00:55:00,130
-I'll prep the fish. The fish is easy…
-[host] Your time is almost up.

1058
00:55:00,213 --> 00:55:01,339
…so I'll take care of it.

1059
00:55:01,423 --> 00:55:03,800
-The sauce is the most important thing.
-Yeah.

1060
00:55:03,883 --> 00:55:05,260
So I think you should take that.

1061
00:55:05,343 --> 00:55:08,638
[Ho-young] So we'll julienne these,
blanch with the tofu…

1062
00:55:08,722 --> 00:55:09,556
[Kang-rok] And then?

1063
00:55:09,639 --> 00:55:10,640
I figured that

1064
00:55:10,724 --> 00:55:13,101
no matter what we decided on,
I'd keep on supporting.

1065
00:55:13,184 --> 00:55:16,104
All right, Chef, if you need me
to boil water or anything--

1066
00:55:16,187 --> 00:55:17,772
Yes, we need some for the tofu.

1067
00:55:19,315 --> 00:55:20,567
Grabbed some grill tools.

1068
00:55:22,277 --> 00:55:23,111
[grunts softly]

1069
00:55:39,919 --> 00:55:42,505
[Sam] The setup
really sets the tone for the match.

1070
00:55:43,465 --> 00:55:45,175
After finishing the second match,

1071
00:55:45,258 --> 00:55:48,636
I was determined to start off
on a much calmer note.

1072
00:55:48,720 --> 00:55:50,513
I wanted to set us up for success.

1073
00:55:55,060 --> 00:55:56,644
[thrilling music playing]

1074
00:55:56,728 --> 00:56:00,231
[Knife Omakase] I trusted Barbecue
Lab Director to take care of the meat.

1075
00:56:01,691 --> 00:56:04,861
Honestly, I wasn't surprised
to see him push for the veal.

1076
00:56:15,121 --> 00:56:18,291
[Barbecue Lab Director] Veal is calf meat,
so it's different than normal beef.

1077
00:56:18,374 --> 00:56:19,709
It's not super fatty,

1078
00:56:19,793 --> 00:56:23,213
and even if your cuts have fat,
the flavor just isn't as rich.

1079
00:56:26,925 --> 00:56:31,304
So then, with prep, it's easier
to treat it like it's a regular pork loin.

1080
00:56:32,305 --> 00:56:35,433
[Sung-jae] That cut's probably much
different than what he's used to cooking.

1081
00:56:35,517 --> 00:56:37,352
-The bone-in?
-Yeah. No marbling…

1082
00:56:37,435 --> 00:56:38,353
-No.
-…little fat.

1083
00:56:38,436 --> 00:56:41,314
Actually, it's not
a super meaty cut, is it?

1084
00:56:41,397 --> 00:56:43,399
-Nope. Not at all.
-Right, that's interesting.

1085
00:56:43,483 --> 00:56:44,984
Let's see what he does.

1086
00:56:48,655 --> 00:56:50,865
[sizzling]

1087
00:56:51,533 --> 00:56:54,828
[Barbecue Lab Director] If you cook
this kind of cut to complete doneness,

1088
00:56:54,911 --> 00:56:58,748
you'll probably end up drying out
your meat and losing all the flavor.

1089
00:56:59,415 --> 00:57:02,836
So I lit the grill, took the meat,
cooked it just a bit…

1090
00:57:05,046 --> 00:57:09,467
and then, as quick as I could, I tossed it
into the pressure cooker to tenderize.

1091
00:57:12,053 --> 00:57:14,722
I wanted it medium
to medium-rare before slicing.

1092
00:57:17,976 --> 00:57:19,561
I felt very confident.

1093
00:57:19,644 --> 00:57:22,605
I knew I could prep, cook,
and slice it in under an hour,

1094
00:57:22,689 --> 00:57:24,774
so I really wasn't really that stressed.

1095
00:57:26,609 --> 00:57:30,155
[Knife Omakase] As for the garnish,
I suggested the fried tofu.

1096
00:57:30,238 --> 00:57:31,990
I thought it'd be nice with the noodles.

1097
00:57:32,073 --> 00:57:36,202
They had to cook longer at a lower temp,
so I asked Culinary Monster to watch 'em.

1098
00:57:37,871 --> 00:57:39,456
What's next, Hyun-do?

1099
00:57:39,539 --> 00:57:41,958
What's next? One second.

1100
00:57:43,293 --> 00:57:45,003
[Culinary Monster] Where's the fresh tofu?

1101
00:57:45,086 --> 00:57:47,672
Right there. It's balanced,
so you can just squeeze it.

1102
00:57:48,381 --> 00:57:54,512
SQUEEZE WATER OUT OF THE TOFU
THAT WILL BE USED FOR THE COLD SOUP

1103
00:57:54,596 --> 00:57:56,598
[tense music playing]

1104
00:58:00,727 --> 00:58:03,146
-[Culinary Monster] Just these three.
-[Knife Omakase] Great.

1105
00:58:04,189 --> 00:58:07,025
-What's next, Hyun-do?
-Actually, could you strain this?

1106
00:58:07,108 --> 00:58:08,151
Okay.

1107
00:58:13,531 --> 00:58:15,867
-[Barbecue Lab Director] Great.
-What else?

1108
00:58:15,950 --> 00:58:19,287
Let's see…
Not that I can think of right now.

1109
00:58:19,370 --> 00:58:20,872
How's it looking? The tofu?

1110
00:58:21,873 --> 00:58:25,293
It's still frying. I know you're busy,
but we're out of tasks.

1111
00:58:25,376 --> 00:58:26,377
-Yeah.
-Really?

1112
00:58:26,461 --> 00:58:27,295
What's next?

1113
00:58:27,378 --> 00:58:28,755
Squeeze some lime juice?

1114
00:58:29,297 --> 00:58:30,423
We need that.

1115
00:58:30,507 --> 00:58:33,176
-All right, and for me?
-I'll just squeeze it in here.

1116
00:58:33,843 --> 00:58:35,261
[Knife Omakase] Yes. Do that and…

1117
00:58:36,554 --> 00:58:37,639
The tofu too.

1118
00:58:37,722 --> 00:58:38,681
What should I do?

1119
00:58:39,891 --> 00:58:40,767
Hold on.

1120
00:58:41,267 --> 00:58:44,020
Those two have
very different personalities.

1121
00:58:44,103 --> 00:58:48,358
Look, I think we picked a good team,
but I definitely had some concerns.

1122
00:58:48,441 --> 00:58:51,069
You'll be doing everything,
the broth, the noodles, all of it?

1123
00:58:51,152 --> 00:58:52,403
Well, I have you guys.

1124
00:58:52,987 --> 00:58:56,074
-I'll make the cuts--
-No, no. We need to divide the tasks.

1125
00:58:56,157 --> 00:58:58,451
-We only have 60 minutes.
-Of course. So let's do that.

1126
00:58:58,535 --> 00:59:00,954
There's no time for,
"If you need help, I'll back you up."

1127
00:59:01,037 --> 00:59:02,997
We have to stick to what we decide.

1128
00:59:03,957 --> 00:59:05,250
I'll still back you up.

1129
00:59:05,959 --> 00:59:06,918
-[chuckles]
-[sighs]

1130
00:59:07,001 --> 00:59:07,877
[Seoul Mother laughs]

1131
00:59:07,961 --> 00:59:11,005
-[Knife Omakase] It'll be fine.
-[Culinary Monster] We should pre-assign.

1132
00:59:11,089 --> 00:59:14,092
As chefs, I think those two
just function very differently.

1133
00:59:14,175 --> 00:59:16,844
On the one hand, you have Knife Omakase,

1134
00:59:16,928 --> 00:59:20,014
who delegates tasks
based on what's needed in the moment,

1135
00:59:20,098 --> 00:59:22,517
and on the other hand,
you have Culinary Monster,

1136
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:24,310
who prefers to have a set outline.

1137
00:59:25,061 --> 00:59:28,398
Neither approach is bad,
but they are conflicting.

1138
00:59:28,481 --> 00:59:29,482
Should I cut those?

1139
00:59:30,024 --> 00:59:31,651
-How about…
-For garnish?

1140
00:59:31,734 --> 00:59:34,112
The seaweed.
Could you julienne some seaweed?

1141
00:59:34,195 --> 00:59:35,947
-Like kizami nori?
-Yes, exactly.

1142
00:59:36,030 --> 00:59:37,073
Okay.

1143
00:59:37,156 --> 00:59:38,116
If there's time.

1144
00:59:43,246 --> 00:59:45,957
[Ho-young] When it comes to this dish,
the tofu is key.

1145
00:59:46,040 --> 00:59:48,418
It should be much softer
than it usually is.

1146
00:59:49,919 --> 00:59:51,921
After the tofu's been blanched once,

1147
00:59:52,839 --> 00:59:54,674
remove as much moisture as you can,

1148
00:59:55,883 --> 00:59:57,135
then add some starch

1149
00:59:58,678 --> 01:00:01,723
and your vegetables,
which should all be julienned.

1150
01:00:06,144 --> 01:00:07,979
There we go. Add that.

1151
01:00:15,653 --> 01:00:18,823
By cooking the tofu, eggs,
and vegetables together,

1152
01:00:18,906 --> 01:00:21,409
you get this delightfully soft mixture.

1153
01:00:22,577 --> 01:00:25,663
And once that's done,
we use plastic wrap to shape it.

1154
01:00:32,670 --> 01:00:34,672
-[Son Jong-won] Like this?
-[Ho-young] Yes.

1155
01:00:42,722 --> 01:00:46,100
All right, Chef. All prepped.
What should I do next?

1156
01:00:47,518 --> 01:00:49,437
[Ho-young]
Get the fish ready for grilling.

1157
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,272
[Sung-woon] Those three
work well together.

1158
01:00:51,356 --> 01:00:53,107
Not only that, they're working together

1159
01:00:53,191 --> 01:00:55,109
while still focusing
on their individual skills.

1160
01:00:55,193 --> 01:00:57,320
-Yeah, it's nice to see.
-It's very reassuring.

1161
01:00:58,613 --> 01:01:00,114
[Dweji-Gomtang in NY] Tofu's fried.

1162
01:01:00,865 --> 01:01:03,660
-Let's see. We just need texture.
-[crunches]

1163
01:01:03,743 --> 01:01:04,577
-Mmm.
-Crispy?

1164
01:01:04,661 --> 01:01:05,536
Mmm.

1165
01:01:06,329 --> 01:01:08,790
Very nice. And it crisps while it cools.

1166
01:01:08,873 --> 01:01:10,500
Tofu done, seaweed done.

1167
01:01:11,250 --> 01:01:14,128
[Knife Omakase]
We're almost done. It's just about timing.

1168
01:01:14,754 --> 01:01:16,255
[Culinary Monster]
Let me know if you need me.

1169
01:01:16,339 --> 01:01:17,340
Yep.

1170
01:01:25,390 --> 01:01:27,809
THE PRESSURE COOKER WITH VEAL INSIDE

1171
01:01:27,892 --> 01:01:29,477
It's been five minutes.

1172
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:30,978
Is that gonna be too short?

1173
01:01:31,062 --> 01:01:33,439
-No, five exactly.
-I think it's fine to take out now.

1174
01:01:33,523 --> 01:01:35,483
-More medium-rare.
-[Barbecue Lab Director] Okay.

1175
01:01:42,782 --> 01:01:43,950
What's the time on the veal?

1176
01:01:44,033 --> 01:01:46,077
[Barbecue Lab Director]
Right now, 15 minutes.

1177
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:48,246
I'll cool it in cold water and chill it.

1178
01:01:48,830 --> 01:01:52,709
If we want to slice it within the hour,
it can't just be cooked.

1179
01:01:52,792 --> 01:01:54,210
It also has to be cooled.

1180
01:01:55,420 --> 01:01:57,630
I wanted it to be medium to medium-rare.

1181
01:01:58,381 --> 01:01:59,674
At least medium-rare.

1182
01:02:00,258 --> 01:02:01,843
[ice cubes clattering]

1183
01:02:04,470 --> 01:02:05,638
Uh-huh.

1184
01:02:17,734 --> 01:02:20,153
-It's still too rare inside.
-[tense music plays]

1185
01:02:20,236 --> 01:02:23,197
When I took it out,
I wasn't expecting it to be that red.

1186
01:02:23,948 --> 01:02:25,032
It was bright red.

1187
01:02:25,867 --> 01:02:27,410
[Dweji-Gomtang in NY] It's not cooked?

1188
01:02:27,493 --> 01:02:28,995
[Rebellious Genius] What part?

1189
01:02:29,078 --> 01:02:31,038
Probably the center
'cause it was attached.

1190
01:02:31,122 --> 01:02:33,666
-Attached? Like, to the bone?
-Yeah.

1191
01:02:33,750 --> 01:02:35,543
Should I pan-sear the surface?

1192
01:02:36,127 --> 01:02:37,295
Oh, that's really rare.

1193
01:02:37,378 --> 01:02:39,422
[Barbecue Lab Director]
It was attached to the bone.

1194
01:02:39,505 --> 01:02:42,341
When it comes to meat and barbecue,
he's the expert,

1195
01:02:42,425 --> 01:02:46,387
that's what he's known for,
so I just assumed it'd come out perfect.

1196
01:02:48,181 --> 01:02:50,349
Yeah, this won't work. It's too…

1197
01:02:50,433 --> 01:02:52,935
Then I'll cook it longer
in the pressure cooker.

1198
01:02:53,019 --> 01:02:54,395
Here, it hasn't cooled yet.

1199
01:02:57,648 --> 01:02:58,733
It's still raw.

1200
01:02:59,609 --> 01:03:01,611
[tense music continues]

1201
01:03:05,239 --> 01:03:08,284
We need to nail this, okay?
It's important.

1202
01:03:08,367 --> 01:03:09,577
I'll make up the time.

1203
01:03:16,209 --> 01:03:17,752
[Son Jong-won] Let's fry the onions.

1204
01:03:20,630 --> 01:03:22,965
FRIED GREEN ONIONS FOR THE GARNISH

1205
01:03:24,550 --> 01:03:26,427
Let's put the oil on and fry 'em up.

1206
01:03:26,511 --> 01:03:29,013
Coating them in flour
will make it much cleaner.

1207
01:03:33,226 --> 01:03:34,352
Oh, and remember!

1208
01:03:34,435 --> 01:03:36,312
-Sift them through a strainer!
-[Sam] Right.

1209
01:03:42,276 --> 01:03:45,029
-Don't fry now or they'll get too dark.
-[Sam] Okay.

1210
01:03:45,112 --> 01:03:46,531
[Son Jong-won] We still have time.

1211
01:03:47,281 --> 01:03:48,616
[Kang-rok] We're one team.

1212
01:03:48,699 --> 01:03:51,327
Whatever happens down there
impacts us up here.

1213
01:03:52,578 --> 01:03:55,122
In that sense,
we're all sort of participating.

1214
01:03:55,206 --> 01:03:56,833
Even as observers.

1215
01:03:57,625 --> 01:04:00,670
I knew that if I didn't speak up,
I'd regret it later.

1216
01:04:00,753 --> 01:04:04,674
It looks like the oil temp's a bit
too high, so you might wanna lower it.

1217
01:04:04,757 --> 01:04:07,343
-[Son Jong-won] Got it.
-How about the starch water?

1218
01:04:07,426 --> 01:04:09,303
-I'm preparing it right now.
-All right.

1219
01:04:09,387 --> 01:04:12,265
Don't forget about
the smoked paprika over there!

1220
01:04:12,348 --> 01:04:15,268
Say something now, while you still can.

1221
01:04:15,810 --> 01:04:17,603
[Son Jong-won]
I'll start grilling the fish.

1222
01:04:21,858 --> 01:04:25,736
Keep it simple, okay? Just some salt
and pepper, like in Western cuisine.

1223
01:04:25,820 --> 01:04:28,322
-[sizzling]
-[rock music playing]

1224
01:04:34,370 --> 01:04:38,541
[Son Jong-won] Well, the fish got stiff.
Probably because it's super fresh.

1225
01:04:50,845 --> 01:04:53,472
When dealing with rockfish,
you can't let it dry out,

1226
01:04:53,556 --> 01:04:55,182
so how you grill is crucial.

1227
01:04:55,266 --> 01:04:57,768
[rock music continues]

1228
01:04:59,812 --> 01:05:01,814
You want the skin side to be crispy,

1229
01:05:01,898 --> 01:05:04,442
and you want to keep
the meat itself moist.

1230
01:05:07,278 --> 01:05:10,323
Chef Son grilled it,
and I think he did really well.

1231
01:05:17,204 --> 01:05:18,623
[Son Jong-won] They're almost done.

1232
01:05:21,250 --> 01:05:22,960
[sizzling]

1233
01:05:34,805 --> 01:05:36,057
How's the veal?

1234
01:05:36,140 --> 01:05:39,393
It should be done in time.
I'm just cooking it a bit more here.

1235
01:05:39,477 --> 01:05:42,188
-You should cook it completely.
-Then I'll chill-- What?

1236
01:05:42,271 --> 01:05:44,231
-Cook it in the broth.
-Right. I'll make sure.

1237
01:05:44,315 --> 01:05:46,359
No, it's still too rare. Even now.

1238
01:05:46,442 --> 01:05:47,401
It's too rare.

1239
01:05:47,485 --> 01:05:49,820
[tense music playing]

1240
01:05:49,904 --> 01:05:53,240
Could you check it? Please?
It needs to cook faster.

1241
01:05:53,824 --> 01:05:55,368
-He's cooking it now.
-Huh?

1242
01:05:55,451 --> 01:05:56,285
It's on the grill.

1243
01:05:57,036 --> 01:05:59,288
[Knife Omakase] I thought
it'd cook faster in the broth.

1244
01:06:01,707 --> 01:06:02,917
I think we'll be fine.

1245
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:06,379
[Barbecue Lab Director] If I give it three
more minutes, it should come out perfect.

1246
01:06:07,672 --> 01:06:10,174
-Are the limes sliced?
-Yes, just about.

1247
01:06:10,925 --> 01:06:13,052
-You need to give me a task.
-Huh?

1248
01:06:14,595 --> 01:06:16,764
You need to be on standby to slice meat.

1249
01:06:16,847 --> 01:06:19,725
But it's not cooked yet,
and I can't slice it till it's cooled.

1250
01:06:20,226 --> 01:06:23,062
In fine dining,
the process is so important.

1251
01:06:23,145 --> 01:06:26,023
You really need to stay organized,
and we just weren't.

1252
01:06:26,107 --> 01:06:28,943
I was the team leader,
so he kept asking me for things.

1253
01:06:29,026 --> 01:06:31,278
"What's next? Tell me, what should I do?"

1254
01:06:31,362 --> 01:06:33,239
I don't know, find something to do.

1255
01:06:33,322 --> 01:06:35,783
And if there's nothing to do,
sit down or go home.

1256
01:06:35,866 --> 01:06:38,244
[chuckles] I almost told him that.
I wanted to.

1257
01:06:38,327 --> 01:06:41,080
But if I had,
we would've argued and… Yeah.

1258
01:06:41,163 --> 01:06:42,540
So I just endured it.

1259
01:06:42,623 --> 01:06:45,543
But it's not cooked yet,
and I can't slice it till it's cooled.

1260
01:06:46,544 --> 01:06:48,671
-[amusing music plays]
-[Knife Omakase] Okay, here.

1261
01:06:50,256 --> 01:06:52,883
I just tried to focus on the loin,
just the loin.

1262
01:06:53,467 --> 01:06:56,971
Thankfully, once the grill was out again,
I felt more confident.

1263
01:06:57,054 --> 01:06:59,932
Even if I could only do one cut,
it would be perfect.

1264
01:07:00,016 --> 01:07:03,310
So I lit the gas flame
and just kind of zoned out.

1265
01:07:03,394 --> 01:07:05,479
[dramatic music playing]

1266
01:07:14,488 --> 01:07:16,073
The grill was crucial.

1267
01:07:16,157 --> 01:07:18,743
I had to cook it
at a high enough temperature

1268
01:07:18,826 --> 01:07:21,037
so it could be cooled and cut in time.

1269
01:07:26,167 --> 01:07:28,502
-I'll help you slice it when it's ready.
-Okay.

1270
01:07:29,003 --> 01:07:31,005
[dramatic music continues]

1271
01:07:37,887 --> 01:07:44,727
ONCE IT FINALLY CHILLS IN THE ICE,
IT'S READY

1272
01:07:57,865 --> 01:08:00,367
[Knife Omakase] And now, the broth.

1273
01:08:01,577 --> 01:08:02,995
For the base of our dish,

1274
01:08:03,079 --> 01:08:06,082
I created a delicious broth
with dried bonito flakes,

1275
01:08:06,165 --> 01:08:09,418
to which I added our blanched tofu
and then blended it.

1276
01:08:10,336 --> 01:08:13,172
I've never blended tofu
with soy sauce before.

1277
01:08:14,924 --> 01:08:18,677
And it looks like he's slowly adding
that mix into the tsuyu to make the broth.

1278
01:08:18,761 --> 01:08:23,099
MIXING TSUYU BROTH WITH BLENDED TOFU BROTH
UNTIL THEY GET THE RIGHT RATIO

1279
01:08:23,182 --> 01:08:24,517
[Knife Omakase] To finish it off,

1280
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:27,520
I add some lime juice
and a little bit of lime zest

1281
01:08:27,603 --> 01:08:30,815
to give our savory broth
a nice tangy finish.

1282
01:08:37,571 --> 01:08:39,615
Hmm. Okay.

1283
01:08:39,698 --> 01:08:44,036
The broth is done, the toppings are set,
all we need's the meat.

1284
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:45,371
[Barbecue Lab Director] Okay.

1285
01:08:48,249 --> 01:08:49,083
How is it?

1286
01:08:50,084 --> 01:08:52,169
-Still rare?
-I think it's ready to slice.

1287
01:08:52,253 --> 01:08:54,630
At this point, it won't get much cooler,
so let's try it.

1288
01:08:54,713 --> 01:08:55,548
Right. Okay.

1289
01:08:57,424 --> 01:09:00,594
-[Knife Omakase] How is it?
-[tense music playing]

1290
01:09:00,678 --> 01:09:03,305
[inhales nervously, sighs]

1291
01:09:03,389 --> 01:09:04,849
Please be done, please.

1292
01:09:11,939 --> 01:09:12,773
How is it?

1293
01:09:17,486 --> 01:09:19,780
[tense music swells, stops]

1294
01:09:20,865 --> 01:09:23,200
If you cook this kind of cut
to complete doneness,

1295
01:09:23,284 --> 01:09:27,496
you'll probably end up drying out
your meat and losing all the flavor.

1296
01:09:27,580 --> 01:09:30,040
For this dish, we wanted thin slices,

1297
01:09:30,124 --> 01:09:33,127
so I wanted it medium
to medium-rare before slicing.

1298
01:09:35,796 --> 01:09:36,881
[Knife Omakase] Okay, it's…

1299
01:09:36,964 --> 01:09:38,924
-After here.
-[Knife Omakase] It's perfect.

1300
01:09:39,008 --> 01:09:41,343
-Looks fine, the front part.
-Hopefully it cooked through.

1301
01:09:41,427 --> 01:09:42,636
But the back part…

1302
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:44,430
-[Knife Omakase] Go thinner.
-Okay.

1303
01:09:44,513 --> 01:09:45,931
[Knife Omakase] Twenty cuts.

1304
01:09:47,099 --> 01:09:49,268
Good. Nice.

1305
01:09:50,269 --> 01:09:51,103
Okay.

1306
01:09:51,604 --> 01:09:53,606
[tense music playing]

1307
01:09:58,694 --> 01:09:59,612
The shape…

1308
01:09:59,695 --> 01:10:02,031
-I can do it.
-Sure, okay. Grab a sharp knife.

1309
01:10:09,955 --> 01:10:12,124
[tense music continues]

1310
01:10:15,961 --> 01:10:17,421
[Culinary Monster] How's it look?

1311
01:10:17,504 --> 01:10:19,548
Wow, he did a great job.

1312
01:10:19,632 --> 01:10:21,675
[upbeat music playing]

1313
01:10:23,636 --> 01:10:25,804
[Knife Omakase]
Yeah, oh, it's really nice.

1314
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:27,765
It looks good.

1315
01:10:27,848 --> 01:10:29,683
Yeah, I'm sorry. About earlier.

1316
01:10:29,767 --> 01:10:32,061
-Should've played it safer.
-[Culinary Monster] No, no.

1317
01:10:35,940 --> 01:10:38,943
Seriously, you can perfectly
cook veal? [chuckles]

1318
01:10:39,026 --> 01:10:40,236
In an hour?

1319
01:10:41,779 --> 01:10:43,197
And that's ten sets.

1320
01:10:52,831 --> 01:10:54,541
[Ho-young winces] Shoot, it's hot.

1321
01:10:54,625 --> 01:10:56,710
Okay. That's ten pieces done.

1322
01:10:57,962 --> 01:10:59,380
Just two more.

1323
01:11:01,423 --> 01:11:04,635
-Here, I'm good at shaping.
-[Ho-young] Something like this. Yes.

1324
01:11:06,095 --> 01:11:07,805
-So we place it like this…
-Okay.

1325
01:11:07,888 --> 01:11:09,181
[Ho-young] There.

1326
01:11:09,265 --> 01:11:11,892
-But that looks nice too.
-[Son Jong-won] I see. How about this?

1327
01:11:11,976 --> 01:11:15,562
[Ho-young] Great. All right,
now that's set, let's taste it.

1328
01:11:15,646 --> 01:11:18,107
Sauce should be done.
Chef, could you check?

1329
01:11:21,777 --> 01:11:23,821
We need to make a call on the ginger.

1330
01:11:23,904 --> 01:11:26,031
-[Sam] I'll try it first.
-[Ho-young] Okay.

1331
01:11:30,953 --> 01:11:33,580
-Yeah. This definitely needs ginger.
-It's sweet.

1332
01:11:33,664 --> 01:11:35,457
It's just a little too sweet.

1333
01:11:36,125 --> 01:11:37,001
Is it really?

1334
01:11:37,084 --> 01:11:39,253
-[Sam] Just a bit.
-[Son Jong-won] It's close though.

1335
01:11:40,004 --> 01:11:43,632
[Ho-young] The base of the sauce
is this dried bonito flake broth,

1336
01:11:43,716 --> 01:11:45,384
and it should be thick and sweet.

1337
01:11:46,010 --> 01:11:50,347
But it came out sweeter than I expected,
and I wasn't sure how to fix that.

1338
01:11:50,431 --> 01:11:52,808
-Maybe we should add soy sauce.
-I think it needs acidity.

1339
01:11:52,891 --> 01:11:53,767
-Sorry?
-Acidity.

1340
01:11:53,851 --> 01:11:56,603
Okay. How about some citrus zest?

1341
01:11:56,687 --> 01:11:57,813
[Son Jong-won] Great.

1342
01:11:57,896 --> 01:12:00,149
[Sam] Lime… Where's the ginger?

1343
01:12:00,232 --> 01:12:02,359
-We should add some.
-[Ho-young] It's here.

1344
01:12:02,443 --> 01:12:04,737
-I had added some.
-I think we need more.

1345
01:12:07,656 --> 01:12:08,866
-Here.
-The lime's good.

1346
01:12:08,949 --> 01:12:10,075
-Yep.
-Right?

1347
01:12:10,993 --> 01:12:13,537
[Son Jong-won] I think we'll be set
with the ginger and lime.

1348
01:12:13,620 --> 01:12:16,248
[Sam] I'll grate them on the microplane.
No floating ginger.

1349
01:12:16,332 --> 01:12:17,958
[Son Jong-won] Try this with the lime.

1350
01:12:18,917 --> 01:12:21,003
-Much better.
-Mmm. Yes.

1351
01:12:21,086 --> 01:12:22,171
-Lime's good.
-Okay.

1352
01:12:22,254 --> 01:12:23,672
Grate the ginger with the lime.

1353
01:12:23,756 --> 01:12:25,632
-I'll clear the plate, okay?
-[both] Okay.

1354
01:12:25,716 --> 01:12:28,469
We had to add something
to balance the sweetness.

1355
01:12:28,552 --> 01:12:30,929
So we add a bit of acid,
and the sauce was done.

1356
01:12:32,848 --> 01:12:34,683
[Knife Omakase] Let's start plating.

1357
01:12:34,767 --> 01:12:37,394
-[Culinary Monster] Broth first?
-[Knife Omakase] Exactly.

1358
01:12:39,563 --> 01:12:42,733
-[Culinary Monster] How's this? One ladle?
-[Knife Omakase] Perfect.

1359
01:12:47,905 --> 01:12:50,866
And on top, the fried tofu…

1360
01:12:51,617 --> 01:12:54,495
-That turned out great.
-[Culinary Monster] It was a good call.

1361
01:12:54,578 --> 01:12:56,121
[Knife Omakase] It's super crispy.

1362
01:12:56,622 --> 01:12:58,749
[Son Jong-won]
If you shape the tofu, I can plate.

1363
01:12:58,832 --> 01:13:00,959
[dramatic music playing]

1364
01:13:05,589 --> 01:13:07,716
Double check for fish bones!

1365
01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:09,635
-Bone check!
-[Kang-rok] Check the head!

1366
01:13:09,718 --> 01:13:10,969
[Ho-young] Just do this.

1367
01:13:11,970 --> 01:13:14,556
-You did great on these.
-[Son Jong-won] Thanks.

1368
01:13:16,266 --> 01:13:17,851
-[Sam] How's this?
-[Ho-young] Perfect.

1369
01:13:18,894 --> 01:13:19,728
Green onions…

1370
01:13:23,273 --> 01:13:25,609
-[Culinary Monster] All done?
-[Knife Omakase] Yes.

1371
01:13:28,070 --> 01:13:30,572
-[Seoul Mother] They plated fast.
-[Brewmaster Yun] Great job!

1372
01:13:37,704 --> 01:13:40,332
-[Culinary Monster] Good work.
-[Knife Omakase] You too.

1373
01:13:40,416 --> 01:13:42,835
-Great job. Sorry again.
-[Seoul Mother] Congrats, you three!

1374
01:13:42,918 --> 01:13:44,253
[Black Spoon chefs cheer]

1375
01:13:44,336 --> 01:13:46,922
It's all done. You did good.

1376
01:13:47,005 --> 01:13:49,174
[Deok-juk] They need to serve now.

1377
01:13:49,258 --> 01:13:51,510
Hey, Chef, how about
we add a touch of lime?

1378
01:13:52,511 --> 01:13:55,973
-[Ho-young] To top it? Yeah, I like that.
-[Son Jong-won] Few drops of lime juice.

1379
01:13:56,056 --> 01:13:59,309
-[Ho-young] And then let's move.
-[Sam] Okay.

1380
01:13:59,393 --> 01:14:02,396
-[Seong-keun] Great job.
-[White Spoon chefs applauding]

1381
01:14:03,313 --> 01:14:06,942
[dramatic music continues]

1382
01:14:07,025 --> 01:14:09,445
-[White Spoon chefs applauding]
-[Hee-eun whoops]

1383
01:14:09,528 --> 01:14:11,697
3-ON-3 BATTLE OF THE BEST
END OF COOKING

1384
01:14:11,780 --> 01:14:13,073
-That's it. [exhales]
-We did it.

1385
01:14:13,157 --> 01:14:14,867
-[Ho-young] It's done.
-Great job!

1386
01:14:14,950 --> 01:14:15,993
Amazing.

1387
01:14:16,869 --> 01:14:18,704
-You guys looked so cool!
-[Ho-young] Oh man.

1388
01:14:19,746 --> 01:14:22,624
-I think they used ground tofu.
-Oh.

1389
01:14:22,708 --> 01:14:24,168
[Sam] Or blended it, I think.

1390
01:14:24,251 --> 01:14:26,044
Do you think
meat and tofu go well together?

1391
01:14:26,128 --> 01:14:28,547
-It can be kind of tricky.
-Yeah.

1392
01:14:28,630 --> 01:14:30,048
They looked too complacent.

1393
01:14:30,132 --> 01:14:31,967
[laughs] Who knows? They might win.

1394
01:14:32,050 --> 01:14:33,844
I just didn't understand it.

1395
01:14:35,012 --> 01:14:37,848
It just seemed… too simple?

1396
01:14:38,432 --> 01:14:41,560
In general, it's easier to make
a cold dish than a hot one.

1397
01:14:41,643 --> 01:14:45,314
And even then, they could've done
a lot more than what they did.

1398
01:14:45,856 --> 01:14:47,524
I assumed we had it.

1399
01:14:48,692 --> 01:14:52,779
[Knife Omakase] Looking over
and seeing their quality of execution,

1400
01:14:53,489 --> 01:14:55,616
I'll admit, it made me a little anxious.

1401
01:14:55,699 --> 01:14:56,992
[host] Now then,

1402
01:14:57,075 --> 01:15:00,704
the special panel of eight judges
may now return to their seats.

1403
01:15:00,787 --> 01:15:03,790
[dramatic violin music playing]

1404
01:15:08,712 --> 01:15:09,546
[grunts softly]

1405
01:15:12,549 --> 01:15:13,759
[exhales deeply]

1406
01:15:13,842 --> 01:15:14,801
I'm nervous.

1407
01:15:15,802 --> 01:15:17,804
-[Ho-joon] Me too.
-[Ji-sun] Why is that?

1408
01:15:17,888 --> 01:15:20,849
[Ho-joon] I think it's because
we're the ones with the power here.

1409
01:15:21,850 --> 01:15:23,352
[host] The judges are seated.

1410
01:15:23,435 --> 01:15:25,687
You may now raise the blinds once more.

1411
01:15:25,771 --> 01:15:28,065
[dramatic violin music continues]

1412
01:15:42,996 --> 01:15:46,583
As mentioned earlier,
the special panel of eight judges

1413
01:15:46,667 --> 01:15:50,671
will be judging without knowing
which team made which dish.

1414
01:15:52,506 --> 01:15:54,466
They're not kidding, it's all covered.

1415
01:15:55,717 --> 01:15:58,887
Even the stations have
large, black tarps over them.

1416
01:16:06,436 --> 01:16:07,396
[Edward] Wow.

1417
01:16:09,648 --> 01:16:10,774
Wow.

1418
01:16:11,441 --> 01:16:13,026
The execution is crazy.

1419
01:16:13,902 --> 01:16:14,736
Wow.

1420
01:16:15,696 --> 01:16:18,407
-Oh man. They're polar opposites.
-[Napoli Matfia] Let's see.

1421
01:16:18,490 --> 01:16:20,867
[Cooking Maniac]
Right down to the style and execution.

1422
01:16:23,954 --> 01:16:24,871
Oh.

1423
01:16:26,832 --> 01:16:29,084
-There's a citrus scent.
-I think they're both Japanese.

1424
01:16:30,002 --> 01:16:32,588
And this one's more nutty, I think.

1425
01:16:33,797 --> 01:16:36,091
-I think this is rockfish.
-[Cooking Maniac] Right.

1426
01:16:37,175 --> 01:16:39,177
Rockfish, huh? That's tricky.

1427
01:16:40,596 --> 01:16:43,765
[Ho-young] Our grilled rockfish
is both crispy and super moist.

1428
01:16:44,474 --> 01:16:47,477
And it's been served
on a bed of tender steamed tofu.

1429
01:16:48,270 --> 01:16:51,023
Top it all off with a spoonful
of our sweet sauce,

1430
01:16:51,106 --> 01:16:53,025
and you get a delicious rockfish dish.

1431
01:16:53,609 --> 01:16:56,862
As for its name,
I wanted it to be symbolic.

1432
01:16:56,945 --> 01:16:59,448
After all, with any luck,
we'd end up wining.

1433
01:16:59,531 --> 01:17:01,533
[intriguing music playing]

1434
01:17:05,078 --> 01:17:05,912
Mmm.

1435
01:17:12,586 --> 01:17:13,462
Wow.

1436
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:16,632
I think the sauce is quite savory.

1437
01:17:32,105 --> 01:17:34,107
[intriguing music continues]

1438
01:17:36,902 --> 01:17:39,196
-I like the green onions and fish.
-[Cooking Maniac] Yeah.

1439
01:17:39,279 --> 01:17:40,697
Especially the green onions.

1440
01:17:40,781 --> 01:17:43,075
They really tie everything together
super nicely.

1441
01:17:43,158 --> 01:17:46,244
-[Auntie Omakase #1] Very important.
-[Cooking Maniac] Just pulls it together.

1442
01:17:46,328 --> 01:17:49,873
FRIED LARGE GREEN ONIONS

1443
01:17:51,833 --> 01:17:55,379
You could tell the White Spoons' dish
was great just by looking at it.

1444
01:17:55,462 --> 01:17:59,257
The sweet sauce, the warm look,
the softness of the tofu,

1445
01:18:00,175 --> 01:18:01,677
they'd done really well.

1446
01:18:02,678 --> 01:18:05,222
I think they're noodles. Mul myeon, right?

1447
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:07,849
Wow.

1448
01:18:08,642 --> 01:18:09,559
Kongguksu.

1449
01:18:10,143 --> 01:18:12,062
This feels like the type of naengmyeon

1450
01:18:12,145 --> 01:18:14,690
that most Koreans would eat
towards the end of a meal.

1451
01:18:14,773 --> 01:18:17,567
-We ground the tofu to make a broth.
-[whirring]

1452
01:18:17,651 --> 01:18:21,154
Something refreshing
that was nutty and acidic.

1453
01:18:21,238 --> 01:18:25,075
Served with thinly sliced veal loin,
to be eaten together.

1454
01:18:25,158 --> 01:18:26,618
That's our dish.

1455
01:18:26,702 --> 01:18:28,704
TEAM BLACK SPOON

1457
01:18:30,330 --> 01:18:32,165
[Paik Jong-won]
Does this bring back memories?

1458
01:18:32,249 --> 01:18:33,709
[Auntie Omakase #1] Yeah.

1459
01:18:33,792 --> 01:18:34,668

1461
01:18:36,795 --> 01:18:38,213
It's really crispy.

[slurping]

1463
01:18:47,347 --> 01:18:49,057
The noodles taste different.

1464
01:18:49,141 --> 01:18:50,350
-Do they?
-Mmm.

1465
01:18:53,937 --> 01:18:55,230

-[giggles]
-You like it?

1468
01:19:11,288 --> 01:19:12,414
Wow, it's really good.

1469
01:19:14,666 --> 01:19:17,586
-Usually, tofu can be pretty bland.
-[Napoli Matfia] Right.

1470
01:19:17,669 --> 01:19:20,380
So the refreshing, tangy flavor here
is really special.

1471
01:19:20,464 --> 01:19:22,883
-I love the idea. I really did.
-Me too, it's excellent.

1472
01:19:22,966 --> 01:19:27,721
So, during the tasting, you could
kind of tell which dish they had.

1473
01:19:30,474 --> 01:19:33,435
And from what I saw,
they loved the Black Spoons' dish.

1474
01:19:40,484 --> 01:19:41,735
All I saw was noodles.

1475
01:19:42,319 --> 01:19:44,196
Everyone was just slurping them up.

1476
01:19:44,279 --> 01:19:46,656
ALL EATING NOODLES

1477
01:19:46,740 --> 01:19:49,826
What is it about their dish
that's got everyone hooked?

1478
01:19:51,495 --> 01:19:53,747
[Rebellious Genius]
When I saw Cooking Maniac,

1479
01:19:55,165 --> 01:19:56,792
he was devouring the noodles.

1480
01:19:57,584 --> 01:20:00,712
So I thought,
"Oh, I guess ours is super tasty!"

1481
01:20:00,796 --> 01:20:03,173
But then he went back
to the White Spoons' dish.

1482
01:20:03,256 --> 01:20:05,008
[Napoli Matfia] Man, this is tough.

1483
01:20:06,134 --> 01:20:07,093
[chuckles]

1484
01:20:12,724 --> 01:20:14,351
I guess he was just hungry.

1485
01:20:15,602 --> 01:20:17,187
I mean, there's no doubt.

1486
01:20:18,021 --> 01:20:20,273
[chuckles] It's the battle of the aces.

1487
01:20:20,357 --> 01:20:22,734
It's hard.
They're just very different dishes.

1488
01:20:22,818 --> 01:20:25,278
-Right.
-So they're strong for different reasons.

1489
01:20:25,821 --> 01:20:28,573
-[Auntie Omakase #1] Good point.
-[Napoli Matfia] I can't choose.

1490
01:20:28,657 --> 01:20:31,326
[Auntie Omakase #1] Each has
their own charm and distinct appeal.

1491
01:20:31,952 --> 01:20:33,620
-Both good.
-It's difficult. Yeah.

1492
01:20:33,703 --> 01:20:34,788
It's very different.

1493
01:20:34,871 --> 01:20:37,707
-I like this sauce better. This one.
-Yeah, yeah.

1494
01:20:37,791 --> 01:20:40,252
-But the meat is better in this one.
-Yeah, agree.

1495
01:20:40,335 --> 01:20:41,294
[sighs]

1496
01:20:41,378 --> 01:20:43,088
-Very difficult.
-Very difficult.

1497
01:20:43,588 --> 01:20:46,341
[Paik Jong-won]
The truth is both dishes are excellent.

1498
01:20:49,594 --> 01:20:52,931
[host] We will proceed with voting
for the third match.

1499
01:20:53,932 --> 01:20:57,143
If you preferred the dish on the left,
please press 1.

1500
01:20:58,478 --> 01:21:00,105
Please, please. [sighs]

1501
01:21:00,856 --> 01:21:04,234
[host] If you preferred the dish
on the right, please press 2.

1502
01:21:06,486 --> 01:21:09,030
Judges, you may now vote.

1503
01:21:09,114 --> 01:21:10,782
[chuckles]

1504
01:21:10,866 --> 01:21:12,868
[dramatic violin music playing]

1505
01:21:17,789 --> 01:21:20,417
-Please avenge Chef Choi Kang-rok.
-[Sung-woon laughs]

1506
01:21:20,500 --> 01:21:23,044
-Let him advance.
-I don't care if I loose the next round.

1507
01:21:23,128 --> 01:21:25,630
-I just care about this. Please.
-[Yu-gang sighs]

1508
01:21:27,591 --> 01:21:31,303
[host] And with that,
all ten judges have cast their vote.

1509
01:21:32,345 --> 01:21:33,513
Uh…

1510
01:21:33,597 --> 01:21:35,724
Thank you, chefs, for two great dishes.

1511
01:21:35,807 --> 01:21:39,936
To start, I think dish number one
had a certain finesse,

1512
01:21:40,020 --> 01:21:43,690
and the overall flavor
was very classic and very comforting.

1513
01:21:43,773 --> 01:21:46,359
And as for dish number two, on the right,

1514
01:21:46,443 --> 01:21:50,113
I thought it was very innovative,
and it felt fresh and daring.

1515
01:21:50,196 --> 01:21:52,824
That said, my main point of criteria

1516
01:21:52,908 --> 01:21:55,493
was how well the ingredients
were used together.

1517
01:21:56,161 --> 01:21:59,205
Um, first off, uh, the noodles.

1518
01:21:59,289 --> 01:22:01,583
When I took a bite of this dish,

1519
01:22:01,666 --> 01:22:05,295
I thought it tasted lovely, and I really
wanted to keep eating the broth.

1520
01:22:06,087 --> 01:22:09,007
But this fishie here, um…

1521
01:22:09,090 --> 01:22:10,425
[chuckles] "Fishie."

1522
01:22:10,508 --> 01:22:12,177
[Edward] …I really, really loved.

1523
01:22:12,761 --> 01:22:15,931
It was crunchy but also tender.

1524
01:22:16,014 --> 01:22:17,182
It was delicious.

1525
01:22:18,642 --> 01:22:19,893
To start with the first dish,

1526
01:22:19,976 --> 01:22:23,980
I thought the sweet and savory flavor
was pleasantly familiar,

1527
01:22:24,064 --> 01:22:27,525
and it had this richness
that felt very luxurious overall.

1528
01:22:27,609 --> 01:22:28,777
I thought so too.

1529
01:22:29,736 --> 01:22:32,155
[Paik Jong-won] Now,
as for the Ending Noodles dish,

1530
01:22:32,656 --> 01:22:36,493
I assume your intention was
to make kongguksu with tofu broth.

1531
01:22:36,576 --> 01:22:39,162
That's what I expected,
but when I took a bite,

1532
01:22:39,788 --> 01:22:41,623
it didn't taste like kongguksu.

1533
01:22:41,706 --> 01:22:43,500
And yet, despite the difference,

1534
01:22:44,084 --> 01:22:47,170
the flavor kept pulling me back in
and making my mouth water.

1535
01:22:48,004 --> 01:22:49,798
It was a very unique discovery.

1536
01:22:50,674 --> 01:22:53,885
[Sung-jae] So far,
everyone's been very nice.

1537
01:22:54,886 --> 01:22:58,390
But I wanted to take a second
to give some constructive criticism.

1538
01:22:58,473 --> 01:22:59,849
[intriguing music playing]

1539
01:22:59,933 --> 01:23:01,768
Starting with the rockfish dish.

1540
01:23:02,769 --> 01:23:05,188
I felt the seasoning was a bit too much.

1541
01:23:06,982 --> 01:23:10,068
In particular, the sweetness
was very overwhelming.

1542
01:23:11,486 --> 01:23:16,324
Honestly, I couldn't really taste
much of the rockfish flavor.

1543
01:23:16,825 --> 01:23:20,245
As for the noodles… How do I put this?

1544
01:23:20,870 --> 01:23:23,540
It should've easily
harmonized with the tofu,

1545
01:23:24,249 --> 01:23:27,335
but the meat flavor was kind of lost here.

1546
01:23:27,419 --> 01:23:29,379
And I can't help but wonder if maybe…

1547
01:23:30,588 --> 01:23:33,091
you could've found a better use for it.

1548
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:38,179
That said, I think both of you did
a good job overall, so thank you.

1549
01:23:38,263 --> 01:23:39,764
I was really anxious.

1550
01:23:40,557 --> 01:23:43,351
I wanted it to fly by as fast as possible.

1551
01:23:44,602 --> 01:23:47,647
[Knife Omakase] Honestly,
I could hardly look at anyone.

1552
01:23:49,399 --> 01:23:52,277
[inhales deeply, sighs]
It's gonna be close.

1553
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:55,155
-It's hard to cut an entire team.
-[Brewmaster Yun] Great work.

1554
01:23:55,238 --> 01:23:57,741
-[Rebellious Genius] Nice work.
-Good job. You too.

1555
01:23:57,824 --> 01:23:59,159
-You did good!
-Absolutely.

1556
01:23:59,242 --> 01:24:01,661
Well done, you three. Come here.

1557
01:24:02,829 --> 01:24:04,080
-Great work.
-Thank you.

Right now, the White Spoon Team
is leading by 36 points.

1573
01:24:44,079 --> 01:24:46,581
[dramatic music continues]

1574
01:24:46,664 --> 01:24:48,708
Wow. They're really ahead.

1575
01:24:49,334 --> 01:24:51,628
The White Spoon Team dominated, huh?

1576
01:24:52,629 --> 01:24:55,548
[host] In order to survive,
the Black Spoon Team

1577
01:24:56,049 --> 01:25:00,386
must score at least 37 more points
than the White Spoon Team.

1578
01:25:04,432 --> 01:25:06,726
[Knife Omakase]
We did the math at the start of the match.

1579
01:25:06,810 --> 01:25:10,480
The total number of votes
we needed was seven.

1580
01:25:12,065 --> 01:25:14,567
[Ho-young] Even though
the White Spoon Team had managed to win

1581
01:25:14,651 --> 01:25:16,152
the first two matches,

1582
01:25:16,653 --> 01:25:19,697
there was still a chance
that everything would be overturned.

1583
01:25:20,907 --> 01:25:22,200
There were no guarantees.

1584
01:25:22,283 --> 01:25:24,452
[host] Before we announce
the final results,

1585
01:25:24,536 --> 01:25:26,663
we will now reveal
to the special judging panel

1586
01:25:27,288 --> 01:25:29,207
which team prepared each dish.

1587
01:25:29,290 --> 01:25:30,125
Oh.

1588
01:25:31,084 --> 01:25:31,918

1591
01:25:41,386 --> 01:25:42,262
[Ji-sun] Wow.

1592
01:25:47,517 --> 01:25:50,895

I've felt all day today.

1638

[host] Mr. Paik Jong-won
voted for the Black Spoon Team.

1643
01:28:21,587 --> 01:28:22,422

1644
01:28:22,505 --> 01:28:23,631
[gasps]

1645
01:28:26,759 --> 01:28:28,303
We just need two more votes.

1646
01:28:29,429 --> 01:28:32,473
[judges exclaiming]

1647
01:28:34,726 --> 01:28:35,727
Really?

[host] The current score is…

1649
01:28:40,189 --> 01:28:42,483

has taken the lead.

1652
01:28:52,493 --> 01:28:55,121
[Seoul Mother laughs]
We're in the lead! We did it!

1653
01:28:55,204 --> 01:28:57,957
[Knife Omakase] The moment
we took the lead, I was in shock.

1654
01:28:58,041 --> 01:29:01,044
Like, "Huh? We're winning?"
[chuckles] That's how it felt.

1655
01:29:01,127 --> 01:29:04,547
Because each vote was ten points,
we could pull ahead more easily.

1656
01:29:04,630 --> 01:29:06,549
We could pull this off.

1657
01:29:06,632 --> 01:29:08,760
Oh man, we're in trouble now.

1658
01:29:09,719 --> 01:29:10,636
It's really close.

1659
01:29:11,721 --> 01:29:13,431
[Yu-gang] At first, it was fun to watch.

1660
01:29:13,514 --> 01:29:16,768
And then, I realized,
"Oh, shoot. We might actually lose."

1661
01:29:18,561 --> 01:29:20,730
[Son Jong-won]
I felt so incredibly guilty.

1662
01:29:21,230 --> 01:29:24,650
Especially because almost everyone
had picked the Black Spoons.

1663
01:29:24,734 --> 01:29:26,569
And as I looked at those final four,

1664
01:29:27,653 --> 01:29:28,738
I was terrified.

1665
01:29:30,990 --> 01:29:35,244

-We need both.
-Both votes?

1680
01:30:39,725 --> 01:30:42,145
Yeah, so if one of those
turns white, we lose.

[Knife Omakase]
I felt a rush, yeah. Of dopamine.

1700
01:31:33,946 --> 01:31:35,281
Did we actually do it?

1701
01:31:35,948 --> 01:31:38,534
I mean, is this actually happening?

1702
01:31:39,869 --> 01:31:42,872
I've never been this nervous
during a competition.

How did this happen?

1706
01:31:53,174 --> 01:31:54,008

1713
01:32:12,401 --> 01:32:14,195
I can't watch it either.

1714
01:32:15,321 --> 01:32:16,864
[Knife Omakase] I can't look.

1715
01:32:17,657 --> 01:32:19,784
Please. Please…

1716
01:32:19,867 --> 01:32:22,745
