(2nd lunch)

(Closed)

- We're done, right? - Yes. I closed the door.

My back is killing me.

- Should we wrap things up? - Yes.

Gosh, my back.

(It was a tiring day.)

(But they prepare to go home in excitement.)

(There are heaps of dishes to wash.)

(Jang Woo is going to refresh his mood by doing the dishes.)

(Let me show you my skills in the restaurant business.)

(Pouring detergent into a tub of water)

(The preparation is done once there's enough foam.)

How do I do it? Teach me.

This?

- Prepare this tub. - Okay.

I'll give you the plates next.

Do you usually use a tub this big?

- Yes. - I see. After this...

- Put the plates into this tub. - And then?

Dig out a plate...

- Scrub it? - Scrub it once.

- Then place it in here? - Yes. Place the plate here.

Okay.

(Captain Jang Woo's dishwashing train departs!)

There's no space left. What do I do?

- Can I stack it on top? - No.

- Place this... - Yes?

Inside here. Then push this down.

What next?

Good.

(I'll wash the plates clean.)

Don't we have to wash...

- all the other plates? - Yes.

Let's bring them over.

(The dishwashing train never ends.)

(After a while...)

We'll wash these, so can you tidy them?

Sure.

(John takes the clean plates.)

(He wipes off the water and tidies them.)

(They can open tomorrow without any problem.)

(See you tomorrow!)

(CEO Paik has a cup of coffee before going to work.)

(Jang Woo is stretching.)

(He suddenly stares at one place.)

(Surprised)

What is it?

(He notices yesterday's sales status.)

It dropped.

- The sales of other places dropped. - Yes.

(The sales status appeared starting yesterday.)

What's that?

It's stressing me out so early in the morning.

(The thing that brought out a strong response)

(Yesterday's sales status)

(Baekbanjip)

(The last in sales)

(Restaurant M, an Italian place, had the highest sales.)

(There's a huge difference.)

(Did they break free from being in last place?)

(Baekbanjip's sales rose.)

(What about Restaurant M with the top sales yesterday?)

(Their sales dropped compared to yesterday.)

(Still in 1st place, Restaurant M: 900 euros, 211 euros decrease)

(Restaurant T: 848 euros, 369 euros increase)

(Restaurant Z: 324 euros, 13 euros increase)

(Restaurant B: 182 euros, 4 euros increase)

(Baekbanjip: 401 euros, 279 euros increase)

(Baekbanjip)

(A shocking 279 euros increase)

(Sales Status: Tuesday Lunch)

(Baekbanjip placed 3rd.)

My competitive spirit is back.

It spoiled my mood the first day.

(Looking at it intently)

It's doable.

We must beat the Japanese restaurant.

(More than anything, we must beat the Japanese restaurant.)

We should've worked a bit harder.

It's stirring up my competitive spirit.

It rose. Oh, my gosh.

We must beat Restaurant T, the Japanese place.

Our first target is Restaurant T.

(Korea versus Japan in Naples)

I'm not sure if you'll remember.

(But the person from yesterday...)

The one who sat near the wall?

- Yes. - Yes.

- He's the owner of Restaurant T. - What?

The one who sat near the wall?

- Yes. - Yes.

- He's the owner of Restaurant T. - What?

- Seriously? - Gosh.

- That's normal. - For real?

When a new place opens, restaurant owners usually drop by...

to see how it'll impact their business.

- They're a direct hit to us. - Right.

I hope we get more customers today.

If I had a month, I would've defeated all of them.

I would've defeated the whole of Naples.

Really? I'd like to try that.

No. Let's go. We're busy, so we need to leave.

No, I'm swamped.

I have to take care of the stores in Korea.

(An official refusal)

(CEO Paik falls into a dilemma.)

(Baekbanjip's new menu to conquer Restaurant T)

(Kalguksu?)

(With some zucchini topping)

(Mouthwatering)

(Many agreed to this menu back in their first menu meeting.)

(Kalguksu with meat topping inside meat broth)

(And so they decided on Baekbanjip's 2nd menu.)

(The problem is the kalguksu noodles.)

There's handmade pasta in Naples.

In other words, fresh pasta.

- For kalguksu? - We could make kalguksu...

- out of fresh pasta, - Yes.

That is not dried.

It will be much tastier than normal noodles.

(Italy, the country of pasta)

(As such, they have diverse shapes and flavors.)

(Pastas with various kinds of textures exist.)

(Among them, fresh pasta is called fresca.)

(Unlike mass-produced dried pasta, or secca, )

(handmade pasta is moist...)

(and has a chewy texture.)

(A distinct feature is that it absorbs the sauces well.)

(Korea's chewy kalguksu noodles...)

(will be reproduced with Italy's fresh pasta.)

(The ingredients manager ran straight to the supermarket.)

Fresh pasta.

(All of these are fresh pasta.)

(Handmade, they have all sorts and various shapes.)

(The hall manager scanned the fresh pasta.)

Tagliatelle.

(The pasta Baekbanjip chose)

(Thinly rolled out dough cut into 8mm strips, )

(it's tagliatelle.)

(Successfully chosen as kalguksu noodles)

(Boiled beef broth)

(Adding in Italy's fresh pasta)

(Seasoning with salt and garlic)

(Zucchini, onion)

(Paprika and scallion for color and texture)

(Adding in cooked potato)

(A drizzle of smoothly beaten-up egg)

(After plating it into a bowl)

It's pretty.

(Topping it off with meat garnish)

(Kalguksu appears in the country of pasta.)

(Baekbanjip's new menu: Kalguksu)

(Will this captivate people in the country of pasta...)

(and help them beat the Japanese Restaurant T?)

The weather's amazing.

(They arrive before they know it.)

Welcome.

Thank you.

- Thank you. - You look like the owner.

Me?

I'll make the trip right now.

Okay.

(John opens the fridge before going to the supermarket.)

I'm taking these two.

Two raspberry wines.

(After showing 2 raspberry wines to the camera, )

(he pays for them.)

Okay.

(He's taking it to the supermarket?)

It's cold.

- Good morning, bro. - Good morning.

What's up, bro?

I brought these two for you.

(The raspberry wines were gifts for the butchers.)

- Is it alcohol? - Yes.

It's Korean raspberry wine.

This wine is good for your stamina.

- Really? - Yes.

(He lets them know the 5-star effectiveness.)

Please give me 6kg of pork sirloin.

(He successfully ordered pork...)

(and even the bones.)

- Thank you. - See you tomorrow, bro.

See you tomorrow.

(Current time 10am, 2 hours remaining until the opening)

We have two hours left.

We have two hours left.

We have quite some time left.

"Quite some time left?"

We're tight on schedule today.

- Today? - Yes.

I made a mistake and forgot that...

all of our side dishes have changed.

This is the problem with home-style Korean food.

The side dishes may seem to come along,

but in reality, all of them have to be cooked and are actual menus.

- You're right. - Yes.

(Yesterday's spicy pork meal)

(Today's spicy pork meal)

(All 4 side dishes have been changed, except for the pork.)

(Soy sauce braised potatoes, crushed dried laver, rolled omelet)

(And...)

(today's 2nd killer side dish CEO Paik prepared)

(Fried chicken for sweet and sour chicken!)

(Sweet and sour chicken is one of the changed side dishes.)

(After yesterday's business)

(CEO Paik prepped some chicken breast, )

(salted them, )

(and floured them first.)

(Shaking off excess flour)

(He poured water into the flour to make a batter, )

(added the floured chicken into it, )

(and coated them with the batter to make them extra crispy!)

(Fried them once with hot oil, then left them to rest)

(CEO Paik takes those fried chicken...)

(and fries them again!)

(Taking the tongs)

(Stirring the chickens so they don't stick to each other)

(While the chickens turn crispy, )

(he adds minced garlic, sugar, paprika powder, )

(a generous amount of ketchup, )

(and honey.)

It should look like effort was put in.

(Cooking the sauce for the sweet and sour chicken)

(He takes out the crispy fried chicken...)

(and pours them into the sweet and sour sauce.)

(Tossing the fried chicken around to coat them with the sauce)

(Sprinkling sesame seeds to finish them off)

(Spicy yet sweet redness)

(The new side dish, sweet and sour chicken, is done.)

(Current time 11am, 1 hour remaining until the opening)

- Good morning. - Hey.

- Have you been well? - How about you?

Yesterday's business went well.

- Come back after getting changed. - Good morning.

(CEO Paik chicly yet warmly greets Simone.)

- Hello. Good morning. - Good morning.

We have one hour left.

Can you get me my knife?

- This is bad. - Here comes the Excalibur.

Here it is. CEO Paik's killer technique.

It's the knife he rarely takes out.

- The knife. - In Morocco...

- Here it is. - Here it is.

Can you hear the sound of my heart?

(Can you hear the sound of my heart?)

- Because the chef's going all out, - Yes?

- I'm speeding up too. - Totally.

We're speeding up together, right?

- Can you see my hands? - What?

Can you see my hands?

(We can see your hands, but you're still fast.)

(Meanwhile, CEO Paik washes his hands...)

(and quickly deep fries sheets of laver for the crushed dried laver.)

(After deep frying the laver)

A plastic bag.

What for? Okay.

Where's the plastic bag?

(Running all of a sudden)

(She quickly finds a plastic bag...)

(and runs again!)

(Once she gives him the plastic bag, )

(he crushes the laver in the bag.)

Bring the crushed dried laver.

- Mix the whole thing together. - Okay.

- Mix them well. - Okay.

(Looking for sugar for the crushed dried laver)

- Where did the sugar go? - It's here.

(Powder prince Jang Woo had the sugar ready.)

You know the secret of sweet and salty.

- Add it on your own. - Yes, sir.

(Adding sugar on his own)

Gosh. What a nice smell.

(Jang Woo makes crushed dried laver with a sweet and salty taste.)

(It's very hot because they just fried it.)

Take a video of you eating soup, Yu Ri.

- Will you be able to smile, Yu Ri? - What?

Yes, I'll try.

I'm a professional.

(This is how the professional eats on camera.)

You're eating it so deliciously.

(Producer Eating is very satisfied.)

- Reverse. - Together.

(They were so focused.)

(The hall manager is fixing the menu board that fell off.)

(CEO Paik gives the frying pan a few flips...)

(to make a giant rolled omelet.)

(The side dishes are coming together one by one.)

Let's take this off too.

(Away with the old menu!)

- Is that okay? - Yes.

(They add the new menu for today.)

(Baekbanjip's two menus for today)

(Spicy pork meal with ssam, 15 euros, )

(featuring a set of 4 new side dishes)

(Guksu meal, 15 euros)

(Baekbanjip is almost ready for the day!)

(It's already almost time to open.)

It's 12pm.

Should we open?

It's 12pm.

(They're not ready yet.)

Just open.

Who cares.

I'll go ahead and open.

- We can do it! - We can do it!

(They cheer themselves up to turn over a new leaf.)

(Baekbanjip's goal for the day)

(Raise 850 euros in sales...)

(to catch up to Restaurant T.)

(What is CEO Paik's strategy to reach this goal?)

(A tent they borrowed from a friend)

(CEO Paik wanted a social butterfly when hiring staff.)

Or they have friends.

Let's say that person can bring two groups of friends.

(They'll have the friends eat outside.)

If they're eating outside, people will look.

After that, they'll look at how much it is...

and ask if the food is good.

("Display strategy" to get people's attention)

Our part-timers need to get their friends to sit there...

right at 12pm tomorrow.

They need to start eating then.

(He decided to get the help of friends.)

(Baekbanjip day 3: Catching up to Restaurant T)

(Start of business)

(Current time 12:04pm)

(Two people stopped in front of the store.)

(Are they Simone's friends?)

(They enter the store.)

(Seeing as they're sitting inside, they seem to be regular customers.)

(Two more people appeared after them.)

(Are they Simone's friends?)

(They also head straight into the store.)

- Can we eat? - Yes.

(They also don't seem to be Simone's friends.)

We got two tables as soon as we opened.

- Someone's here already? - We already have two tables.

Not friends.

Would you like to order?

(Taking the order of the customers who came first)

Okay. Perfect.

(Spicy pork with ssam 2, makgeolli 1)

One makgeolli and one raspberry wine?

- Yes. - Okay.

- Okay. - Thank you.

We have more orders.

Two spicy pork, please.

- Additional? - Yes.

(Excited)

Here.

(The spicy pork is ready in a flash.)

Okay.

(Jang Woo checks the menu one more time.)

Ssam...

with this.

(Why is Jang Woo looking at the menu so carefully?)

(The numbers in the picture align with the descriptions.)

(That's why each dish needs to be put in the right place.)

(Plating the side dishes one by one)

(Right then, Jang Woo passes by...)

(and looks at the menu again.)

(Picture on the menu, Side dishes that Yu Ri plated)

(Spot the difference between the two pictures.)

Shouldn't the egg go here?

Isn't this...

- the sweet and sour chicken? - The chicken? Like this?

(The rolled omelet and sweet and sour chicken were switched.)

- Oh, the egg... - Oh, I put it in the wrong place.

Okay.

Oh, you're right. That was close. Thank you.

(They need to focus even when scooping rice.)

This isn't for you, Jang Woo.

- Focus. - Focus.

They can always get seconds.

Not too much rice.

(I must always remember that the rice is for customers.)

- Here's spicy pork with ssam. - Thank you.

Hello. Thank you.

Here's spicy pork with ssam.

(They served 4 spicy pork with ssam.)

(After that, )

(no customers came for a while.)

(Glancing over)

Weren't they going to call their friends at 12pm?

I wanted their friends to come sit outside...

so we could enjoy some free advertising.

Right. We needed them to be sitting outside.

(Time kept passing by.)

(It's been 30 minutes since opening.)

(Additional customers)

(Zero)

(Falling off)

(CEO Paik is getting a bit anxious.)

(He confidently promised to beat Restaurant T.)

(They really need the help of their friends now.)

Simone. Are your friends not coming?

They need to come.

Didn't you ask them to come by 12pm?

They'll probably come really soon.

(Feeling anxious, he keeps drinking water.)

(Baekbanjip)

(When are you coming, friends?)

(Right then, someone comes scurrying.)

(He looks inside of the store and calls someone.)

(Simone notices this and walks right over.)

- Friend. - Friend.

(His friends are finally here!)

- I'm John. Giovanni? - Giovanni.

- I'm Selena. - Selena.

Nice to meet you.

- Okay. - Over there?

(After learning each others' names, he guides them to their seats.)

We walked 4 to 5km just this morning.

(They were late because they had to walk from afar.)

Hey. Are Simone's friends here?

- Yes, they're there. - Did they sit outside?

- Yes. - What about their food?

Hurry up and take it to them. That's the most important thing.

- Hello. - Hello.

Enjoy.

(Always polite to customers)

(CEO Paik personally serves Simone's friends.)

- Enjoy. - Okay.

The main part of my strategy...

was to set tables outside,

have friends sit outside,

and have people see them eating the food...

to get those people to come in thinking the food looks good.

That was the most important.

(CEO Paik emphasized getting friends to help.)

(The friends they've been waiting for are now here.)

(To make it easier for people to see, )

(they prepared a tent that was clear on all sides.)

Let's try a bit of everything.

(All they have to do is the enjoy the food.)

(Will CEO Paik's strategy work again this time?)

It's good.

The soup is very good.

(They seem to be enjoying the food.)

(He tries the sweet and sour chicken next.)

(His reaction is perfect.)

Oh, it has meat inside!

(His reaction seems to have caught someone's attention.)

(But they soon leave.)

(Nothing much has happened yet.)

It's so good!

The rolled omelet is so good!

(People are leaving, but he still has great reactions.)

(Glancing over)

(Thanks to the friends, people are starting to look interested.)

(Someone on the other side also noticed them eating.)

(They naturally read the menu...)

(and enter as if they're in a trance.)

(They enter the store.)

(These people also seem interested.)

(They park their bikes to look at the menu, )

(and they head into the store.)

(Right after, these two also become interested.)

(They enter.)

(They also enter right after.)

(Is she also coming in?)

(Customers keep flowing in.)

(Following the customers who entered after seeing Simone's friends)

(Number 2)

(Number 3)

(Number 4)

(The hall only had 2 groups.)

(It suddenly became busy.)

(First table, fourth table, third table, second table)

It's packed.

Really? Bravo!

See?

(Soon after, the outdoor seating fills up too.)

(All tables, excluding the ones in the second room, are full!)

(This all surprisingly happened in less than 1 hour.)

The outdoor seating is full too.

Whatever. That's nothing

Men from Chungcheong Province are so tough.

He's happy, but he's acting like...

He's happy, but he's going, "Whatever."

(Eye contact)

Did you eat something bad for breakfast?

- Am I still hungover? - What?

- You must still be hungover. - Sorry, sir.

(John came to take their order.)

Two sets of today's menu, please.

- Okay. One each. - Should we get one of each?

- One ssam and one guksu, please. - One each. Something to drink?

- Well. - Oh, right. Is there soju?

Soju?

Oh, we don't have soju.

(An Italian looking for soju in Baekbanjip at 1pm)

I wanted to drink soju and beer mixed together.

- Oh, soju bombs. Cocktail. - Yes.

- Yes. - Yes.

- One makgeolli, please. - Two.

- Two glasses of makgeolli, please. - Okay.

Korean people drink a lot of makgeolli too.

(She's satisfied with getting makgeolli instead.)

One spicy pork with ssam.

- Gugusae? - Kalguksu.

(It's not gugusae. Guksu!)

Would you like to order?

(He takes the next table's order.)

(They also get 1 spicy pork with ssam and 1 kalguksu.)

What is it?

Two each. Two spicy pork and two kalguksu.

- Take your time. - I'm not in a hurry.

The video is four minutes long. They need to watch it all.

They're really enjoying it.

Did you see that? They're showing us how to eat it.

(Eyes fixed)

Oh, my.

(The part where she eats it in one bite)

I don't know how to eat that in one bite.

(While Yu Ri buys them time, )

(John serves the table mats.)

- Did you get guksu? - Yes.

Okay.

The spicy pork with ssam menu.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

That's what it looks like. Mine has soup.

(The man kept watching the video...)

(and noticed something.)

This video is so funny.

They keep showing Kim, the defender in Naples.

- Where? - He comes up throughout the video.

He looks very happy.

(Kim comes up on the monitor?)

(Kim Min Jae, also known as Kim)

(The impenetrable defender of the soccer team in Naples)

I was wondering if Naples was finally getting a Korean restaurant.

That'd be nice.

Now that I think about it, that player is in Naples.

I thought he might visit.

He must miss home-cooked food, right?

He must.

I'm sure he's taking care of it.

(He must be have a T in his MBTI type.)

If they open one... Oh, I saw it!

(Lucky Kim passed by during their conversation.)

(I saw it.)

(He also appeared next to the guy.)

(There he is.)

(Finding Lucky Kim is fun, even for a T.)

(Jang Woo's work)

- First guksu. - First guksu.

(Getting started on the first kalguksu)

(The guksu meal)

(Today's set of 4 side dishes, )

(kalguksu, the main menu, )

(and...)

(the newly added rice with canola leaves.)

(The canola leaf's big transformation)

(Rice with canola leaves, 1. Finely chop the canola leaves.)

I chopped the canola leaves.

(Add the canola leaves Jang Woo chopped...)

(to hot, freshly-made rice.)

(Rice with canola leaves, 2. Add to hot rice and mix.)

(Mixing with her hands)

Oh, it's hot.

- What? - It's hot.

Oh, it's hot.

Gosh, it's hot.

(Laughing, crying)

(Add sesame oil...)

(and sesame salt.)

Oh, the smell of the sesame oil.

Oh, it's delicious.

(CEO Paik is stir-frying minced meat for the sauce.)

(On top of cooking oil)

(Chopped vegetables)

(Minced garlic)

(Soy sauce)

(Minced meat)

(Chili, paprika powder)

(Mix it well on low heat.)

(Bring it to a boil.)

(The guksu meal sauce is ready.)

(On top of kalguksu)

(On top of rice with canola leaves)

(It's going to shine in many ways!)

- Let's make the guksu first. - Okay.

(Take the nicely boiled broth...)

(and put it in the pot.)

(A local ingredient...)

(that'll become kalguksu in Naples)

(Tagliatelle, fresh pasta!)

(Adding pasta to the broth)

(The fresh pasta will transform into kalguksu.)

(Taking a spoonful of minced garlic)

(Plop!)

(Slurping)

(He got it perfectly in one try.)

(Add vegetables to the kalguksu.)

(Also add potatoes that were boiled ahead of time.)

(Lastly, )

(add beaten eggs.)

(Baekbanjip's first kalguksu is cooking nicely!)

(The first kalguksu is ready.)

(After a hot soup shower, )

(the pasta transforms into kalguksu.)

(A big spoonful of the sauce)

Gosh, it's pretty.

(Finishing it off with the special sauce)

(The rice with canola leaves will be served together.)

(Setting the guksu meal)

Okay.

(Their secret weapon to catch Restaurant T, the guksu meal)

Thank you.

(The kalguksu finally arrived at the customer's table.)

Okay.

(Firmly holding his spoon)

- Here you go. - Thank you.

(Looking around)

One second. I want to organize a bit.

(It's hard to wait after seeing the guksu meal.)

(First taking a spoonful of the rice with canola leaves)

(Putting it in the kalguksu broth?)

(He carefully watched Yu Ri add rice to the soup in the video.)

(This is how I eat it, right?)

(A bite of rice with canola leaves dipped in kalguksu)

It's good.

(One more bite)

(Fortunately, he seems to like it.)

(Satisfied)

I told you Korean food was good.

It is good.

(A bite of rice with canola leaves)

(One more bite of rice with canola leaves)

It's so good.

(It's already gone.)

(After finishing the rice, he starts on the kalguksu.)

(Italy, the country of pasta)

(Their pride about pasta must be very strong.)

(How will Italians evaluate the taste of kalguksu?)

(A nervous bite)

Do you think...

we can get refills?

Get what?

Wait. We just got started.

Really?

(A taste you crave even when you're still eating it)

You always teased me...

for always talking about Korea.

- What? - You're happy that I'm obsessed...

with Korea now, right?

It's tastier.

This is tastier...

than Japanese food.

Of course.

(He seems to really like it.)

(An unexpected victory for CEO Paik?)

(Meanwhile)

(The next table got their kalguksu as well.)

Should I have gotten that instead?

(Seeing the kalguksu makes her regret not getting it.)

No. Yours also...

(Don't worry. The spicy pork with ssam is good too.)

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

(He picks up the chopsticks right away...)

(and instinctively mixes the sauce.)

(Impressed)

The smell is amazing.

(Slipping)

How should I eat this pasta? What do you think?

I think I should use a fork.

It's so good.

(She can't hear him.)

I should eat with a fork.

It's easier to eat pasta with.

It was mission impossible from the start.

No. It's because I need to twirl it like this.

(Italians must...)

(always twirl their pasta!)

(Humming in approval)

(He gets another forkful of the noodles.)

Gosh, this pasta is so good.

(It's perfect for the Italian palate as well.)

How should I eat this sweet and sour chicken?

- Perhaps... - With the rice?

It wasn't in the video.

(Flustered)

(He bravely puts it in his mouth.)

It's sweet and tasty.

(He tries the rice with canola leaves.)

I like it.

(She also has a piece of the sweet and sour chicken.)

(Fainting in satisfaction)

(The flavor melts her away.)

I can do this.

(She makes a nice wrap with the spicy pork.)

(She eats it in one bite just like she saw in the video.)

Is it good?

It's so good.

(This is good.)

(It's already her last wrap.)

(Stopping)

(An anxious gaze)

Is this a teacup?

(Why is there a mysterious teacup all of a sudden?)

(The was lettuce in the cup.)

(There's a teacup when she hasn't ordered any tea.)

What's this for? Right.

The vegetables were in it.

I thought I made a mess in the coffee cup.

(The spicy pork meal is so good that she becomes forgetful.)

Did you try the wrap? Do you have it too?

Let me make one for you.

Sure. But give me two lettuce leaves.

Can you add some rice to it?

Sure. I'll add everything.

I'll give you a bit of this too.

(Soy sauce braised potatoes)

A bit of rice too.

(While the wife makes the wrap with all of her heart...)

If I order one more, I won't be able to finish it.

Did you already finish your food?

Won't you wait for me?

That's why I stopped.

Yes. I can see that.

(When did he exactly stop?)

(2 lettuce leaves)

(Mumbling)

You said you wanted two lettuce leaves.

No, not like that.

I don't know how to do it properly.

(But he still eats his wrap in one bite with gusto.)

By the way, this goes well with the meal.

It's sweet, so it chases away the spicy flavor.

(The husband has a sip too.)

So...

this meal is only 15 euros. That's a good deal.

At first, I thought I had to order all the side dishes.

In Korea, when you order one main dish,

you get a lot of side dishes.

That's how Korean people eat.

We didn't even touch the water.

(They drank makgeolli like water.)

(Current time 12:55pm, lunchtime on the street)

(The street is packed with people who came out for lunch.)

(Thanks to that, Baekbanjip is full with customers.)

(He whistles as he's having a busy day.)

- That's spicy. That's not spicy. - Okay.

Things are going well today.

(However, )

(some people have come to shake things up on this peaceful day.)

(The people at this table are responsible for that.)

(They seem like ordinary customers.)

We want three servings of the guksu, the new dish.

(They are a table of 2, but they're ordering 3 servings.)

I fell in love with their marketing.

(Whispering)

(Then she discusses the marketing strategy of the restaurant.)

You can learn how to eat the dish through the video there.

I think they're really smart. I'm totally sold on this.

(These customers look like professionals for some reason.)

(They are waiting for someone.)

(A man approaches the restaurant at that moment.)

(A man approaches the restaurant at that moment.)

(He naturally joins the table in question.)

(This man of a strong presence seems familiar.)

So they're offering two dishes today. Right?

(This man seems to know about the menu as well.)

(He sees the customer.)

(He heartily greets John.)

(Actually, this isn't his first time at the restaurant.)

(Do you remember these people?)

(They were the first customers in the last episode.)

(Do you change the menu every day?)

(He was the curious customer who kept asking about the business.)

(Back then, they didn't know who he was.)

(It's located near Baekbanjip.)

(Baekbanjip)

(Baekbanjip has four competitors.)

(Baekbanjip is targeting to beat this restaurant today.)

(It's located in the same commercial district.)

(The competing restaurant Baekbanjip will beat today)

(Restaurant T)

(This restaurant exudes...)

(a vintage atmosphere.)

(Sushi, )

(aged sashimi, )

(and mille-feuille nabe)

(It's a fusion Japanese restaurant, )

(showcasing the essence of the Japanese cuisine.)

(It was listed in the Michelin Guide...)

(as well as 1 of the top 50 restaurants in Italy.)

(The restaurant received 3 stars from Gambero Rosso.)

(This man is in charge of...)

(this restaurant.)

(The 3rd-generation owner of this sushi restaurant)

(Ignacio Hidesama Ito)

- In Italy, he is... - Is he the best chef?

One of the top three chefs.

- Really? - Gosh. Really?

(He became a successful chef in this conservative city of pizza.)

(The Japanese chef recognized as the best)

He's the owner of the Japanese restaurant.

- What? - Really?

(The moment he found out about the man's identity...)

- Really? - I see.

(CEO Paik seems serious.)

Did he become more confident in his food?

Or did he get motivated to work harder?

Let's go. Let's make it better.

(And at last...)

Three bowls of guksu.

The Japanese restaurant owner is here again.

- Really? - Yes.

- He came to try out the new dish. - Really?

- For real? - He ordered three kalguksu.

- Really? - Yes.

- This is the order ticket. - Really?

(The time has come.)

He must have liked the food.

(The competitor he was going to beat has shown up.)

(How will Business Genius handle it?)

Tell him that I want to have a bet.

(CEO Paik proudly wagers a bet on the sales.)

(The top Japanese chef versus Business Genius of Korea)

(The battle of two proud geniuses)

(CEO Paik is the first one to start the battle.)

(He wants to intimidate his opponent with his flavors.)

(CEO Paik's broth that's been boiled for hours)

(The rich broth stands out in the noodle dish.)

(With a determined look on his face, )

(he cooks the noodles.)

(It's perfect for the Italian palate.)

(Flavorful fresh pasta noodles)

(After cooking the noodles al dente...)

Italy is a country of fashion.

We must seek beauty.

(Impressed)

Got it?

(Trying to hold back his laughter)

(For the country of fashion, he prepared...)

(colorful vegetlabes. It's time to add them now.)

(Adding the vegetables generously)

(Then a secret Korean ingredient is added next.)

(You ought to eat warm broth with lightly beaten eggs.)

(Abundant)

Okay.

- Gosh, how beautiful. - For Table One.

(It will add the umami flavor and enhance the aroma.)

It looks so beautiful.

(The main dish, guksu, rice with canola leaves, )

(sweet and sour chicken, braised potatoes, )

(rolled omelet, crushed dried laver)

(A filling meal of guksu)

(The guksu meal is ready to be served.)

(CEO Paik will challenge him with this menu.)

(The guksu meals are delivered to the top Japanese chef.)

(Makgeolli 1, Raspberry wine 1)

Gosh. Look at the food.

Oh, my. Doesn't this look so pretty?

I ought to take a picture of this.

(She takes pictures of pretty food right away.)

(A collaborative piece of CEO Paik and Yu Ri, "Guksu")

(This piece showcases appetizing colors.)

(While his daughter takes pictures of the food, )

(the top Japanese chef starts his meal right away.)

(He carefully tries the broth.)

(He has a bite of the garnish too.)

(The restaurant owner carefully eats as if he's exploring unknown land.)

(He explores the rice with canola leaves next.)

(Then he lifts his chopsticks.)

(He explores the side dishes.)

(Sweet and sour chicken)

(Nodding)

(Then he tries the soy sauce braised potatoes.)

(He tries the rolled omelet next right away.)

(He's trying all the side dishes at least once.)

(Lastly, he tries the crushed dried laver.)

(He finishes exploring as he nods.)

The noodles are really good. What do you think, Dad?

The chef is pretty good. The food here is good.

(He must be done exploring the food.)

(He begins slurping the noodles at ease.)

Gosh. The sweet and sour chicken is good.

The chicken is really tasty. Why aren't you eating it?

- You can have mine. - No. You should try it.

She'll end up stealing all the dishes she likes.

- Right. That's true. - You can have it.

(She quickly steals the sweet and sour chicken.)

I love the food here.

(He slurps up the noodles again.)

(He uses chopsticks to eat the rice in true Japanese style.)

(He eats the sweet and sour chicken before his daughter steals it away.)

(Then he eats the rice with canola leaves again.)

(Fortunately, the owner is enjoying the meal.)

(Meanwhile, the employee was looking around the restaurant.)

- Do they have a lot of customers? - What?

Do they have a lot of customers?

(The top Japanese chef thinks for a moment.)

On the 1st day, they had 4 to 5 people.

And they had a good number of customers yesterday.

I think they had about 20 customers yesterday.

How many chairs are there? One, two, three, four, five...

(The top Japanese chef counts the total number of chairs.)

There are about 20 chairs.

They can serve 40 customers during lunch.

If they open for dinner, that's another 40 customers.

Per person, they spend about 20 euros.

If there are 10 customers, that's 200 euros.

Since they can serve 80 people a day...

You know, the rest is just math.

(The top Japanese chef only took a moment to figure everything out.)

(He read CEO Paik's restaurant like an open book.)

(Meanwhile, here's our genius.)

Usually, when your competitor comes to your business,

he wants to have a chat with the head chef,

so he can offer a position.

But the head chef is the owner.

(If he hires the head chef, he'll have to acquire the business.)

No. People will think that John is the owner.

- Really? - Yes.

(Young and rich restaurant owner, Park)

Let me know if you need help.

Gosh. Don't worry about us.

Okay. Everything is okay.

(The real restaurant owner acts cool.)

(The people from the competing restaurant are almost done.)

(He finished the side dishes and rice too.)

The broth stimulates your appetite.

Yes. It does.

The aftertaste is great. It's delicious.

(The restaurant owner is in love with the broth.)

(He eats up the last of the noodles too.)

Gosh, you really liked it.

You all finished it.

Good food is good food.

(Even his competitor acknowledges that the food is tasty.)

(You see, )

(flavor is important.)

(But what's really important is the sales.)

(It's a full house.)

(The current sales for indoor tables)

(306 euros)

(The sales for outdoor tables)

(122 euros)

(They only made 428 euros even if it's a full house.)

(Today's goal is...)

(to make more money than Restaurant T.)

(Restaurant T made 848 euros last night.)

(To reach their goal, CEO Paik needs to double the current sales.)

(He needs to make more than 850 euros.)

(Will he be able to double his sales?)

(This calls for some popcorn.)

(As Baekbanjip is in need of more customers, )

(three customers have come.)

(Baekbanjip)

(She sees that there are no tables available.)

(As it's a full house, there are no available seats.)

(The customers think for a while.)

(They take a few steps in.)

(John spots them and approaches them.)

Hello.

We don't have a table now.

Well, one moment.

I think you just have to wait just for a little bit.

You probably won't have to wait for long.

It might take a bit of time since there are three of you.

Or do you want to make a reservation?

Okay. We'll wait then.

(The customers are willing to wait outside.)

(There's a waiting line at Baekbanjip.)

(He spots the waiting line.)

Gosh, people are waiting in line outside.

Really? Outside?

- Aren't they waiting? I see a line. - A waiting line?

- Yes. - There is a waiting line?

- People are lining up now? - They're waiting.

What?

They're waiting in line.

(Giggling)

Calm down, Yu Ri.

(When they calmly focus on work...)

Two noodles and two spicy pork.

(When they calmly focus on work...)

Two and two.

(Meanwhile, outside the restaurant...)

(3 people are passing by the restaurant.)

(Turning around)

(They see the waiting line.)

(They stop walking.)

(Then they head straight to the restaurant.)

(The 3 passers-by from a moment ago)

(They naturally join the waiting line.)

(The line gets longer.)

(The waiting line has gotten longer on its own.)

(The best marketing strategy is the waiting line.)

(The waiting line turned into a showing strategy.)

(A waiting line is bringing in more customers as a virtuous cycle.)

(Peeking)

They are waiting in line.

- There's a line. - There's a line.

- Really? - Yes.

- Six people are waiting. - Six?

Mr. Paik, six people are waiting in line.

Really?

(The end of his reaction)

- Gosh, Mr. Paik. - Yes.

- People are waiting in line. - Okay.

- What's going on? - What's going on?

I see. You guys are new to this.

Right.

I see. This is new to you guys.

- What's going on? - What's going on?

Let me tell you what's going on. Nothing is going on.

We're just running a restaurant.

(Of course, it's my restaurant.)

(CEO Paik acted cool in front of them.)

(But he quietly turns around and enjoys it while whistling.)

(We can see him in the mirror.)

(Current time 1:05pm, waiting line, 6 people)

(It's slightly past 1pm in Naples.)

(It's the peak lunch hour.)

(They must keep working and increase their sales with this momentum.)

(There's no time for a break.)

(Hurry up.)

Gosh. People wait in line to eat here now.

Did they hear about us?

(It's turning into a popular restaurant with a waiting line.)

(But here's the problem.)

(Time passes by.)

(And it passes by some more.)

(But they are still waiting in line.)

(They've been waiting for 20 minutes.)

(It didn't lead to any revenues yet.)

(If they leave now, it won't generate any revenues.)

(The problem is the low table turnover rate.)

(As for the couple, the first customer of the day...)

(The amount of time spent at the restaurant so far)

(1 hour and 19 minutes)

(And...)

(The amount of time spent by the second customers so far)

(1 hour and 16 minutes)

(And Simone's cheerful friends...)

(spent 57 minutes at the restaurant so far.)

(It's lunchtime.)

(Due to the cultural difference, )

(people spend a long time at restaurants.)

Okay.

(Because of that, the table turnover rate is low.)

(At that time, they see Simone's friends having fun.)

(Another group joins the waiting line.)

(There are five more customers now.)

(Current waiting line, 11 people)

(The hall master is anxious as the customers are waiting.)

(He has to increase the table turnover rate by any means.)

(What caught John's eye at that moment)

(The coffee that Simone serves)

(John realized something.)

People are not leaving because we're serving coffee.

They don't leave?

They have a coffee.

They get curious about the coffee and have a cup.

They stay for at least 15 minutes more.

(Gooodness.)

(You're too focused on making a profit.)

They should enjoy their relaxing time.

Let's remove coffee tomorrow.

- They don't leave? - Let's take coffee off the menu.

(Baekbanjip decides to remove coffee for a better table turnover rate.)

(Look at the customers who are staying longer)

(Coffee)

(They all had coffee and chatted.)

(The problem is...)

(The unit price of coffee is too low.)

(It's a minus when it comes to hourly sales.)

(If they remove coffee tomorrow, what difference will it make?)

(If they remove coffee tomorrow, what difference will it make?)

How was your food?

- Everything was delicious. - I'm glad.

(The first customers are finally done and leave.)

(They now have an empty table.)

(Yu Ri helps clean up the table.)

(Empty dishes)

Goodness. They ate absolutely everything.

This...

makes me feel great!

That's funny.

They don't eat seasoned canola leaves, but the rice...

They love rice with canola leaves.

(While they're quickly cleaning up the table)

Everything was delicious.

(The bait table is also done.)

(The Chinese customers are also finished.)

It was so good.

Was it good?

That's good! I'm glad.

Thank you.

(Jong Won speaks Chinese.)

Take care.

(Baekbanjip now has 3 empty tables.)

(To serve the customers quickly...)

We should clean the tables quickly.

(Things to do: 1. Clean up the tables)

The hall.

- Three coffees? Okay. - Yes.

(While they're busy, coffee orders are pouring in.)

(While they're busy, coffee orders are pouring in.)

(Things to do: 2. Make old-style cafe coffee)

(Meanwhile)

(A customer, who is 3rd in line, enters.)

(She stops a staff member...)

(and asks for a table for 5.)

(She wants to sit at the empty table she saw.)

- She needs a table for five. - What?

It's a group of five.

Should we split them into 2 and 3?

No, other customers are waiting.

(They need to announce the waiting list.)

(The customers are not standing in order.)

(Things to do: 3. Announce the waiting list)

(If they don't hurry, the customers will leave.)

Hey, Simone.

(John stays calm.)

Can you go to the hall?

- I'll take care of the coffee. - Okay.

Leave it there.

(He asks Simone to let the customers know about the waiting list.)

You'll enter on a first-come, first-served basis.

The party of five will come in last.

(He announced the order in which the customers will enter.)

(CEO Paik looked at the situation outside the kitchen.)

- Go and clean up the hall. - Okay.

(He dispatches his kitchen staff to the hall.)

- Wipe the table once. - Okay.

(Jang Woo and Yu Ri, who came out to help out, )

(shares the table cleaning job.)

Done.

Okay.

Three Korean coffees.

(He serves 7 coffees that they were behind on.)

(They cleaned tables, made coffee, and announced the waiting order.)

(Group 1:3 people, group 2:3 people, group 3:5 people)

(The customers enter in order.)

(They put a chair outside to make it a table for 3.)

(Group number 1 sits down.)

(Now, they have parties of 3 and 5)

(but they don't have enough seats.)

(The top Japanese chef was watching the situation.)

I should get up.

I should leave this table for them.

(The Japanese chef leaves the table on purpose.)

He's waiting there.

(He even said he'd have coffee standing up.)

(The Japanese chef is calm and considerate.)

Okay, three coffees.

(He was thoughtful as he also own a business.)

(Thanks to him, we have a big table now!)

(CEO Paik came out to the hall himself.)

Hold that.

(He moves the table quickly.)

Okay.

(Bowing)

(Now they have tables for 5 and 3.)

(Thankfully, we got to seat the customers...)

(before they left.)

When we're busy, we should be more graceful.

(Baekbanjip found peace again.)

Is everything okay?

No answers?

(The staff didn't answer...)

(as they were assisting the customers at the tables.)

(He comes to the outdoor tables, passing by the customers in line.)

Are you ready to order?

We can order, right?

Yes.

Three spicy pork meals with ssam. Okay.

(Current orders: spicy pork meals 3, spicy pork meals 3)

Okay. Spicy pork meals with ssam.

Spicy pork meals with ssam.

Guksu.

(Current orders: spicy pork meals 3, spicy pork meals 3)

Okay.

(Current orders: spicy pork meals 4, guksu 1)

If we sell all of this during lunch and dinner,

we can make a lot of money.

Should I become rich this time?

- We're quite busy. - Okay.

(Now that things are stable at the hall, they have many orders.)

(Current orders: spicy pork meals 3, spicy pork meals 3)

(spicy pork meals 4, kalguksu 1, Total: spicy pork 10, kalguksu 1)

(Will they earn more than 850 euros like this?)

(Examining the orders)

(He's done examining.)

- We have more. - Okay.

Another 3 spicy pork meals. That's 6 in total.

We have enough of it. I prepared lots of spicy pork.

(He shows off his blowtorch skills to add a smoky flavor.)

(CEO Paik in charge of cooking)

(The spicy pork is ready in the blink of an eye.)

(He also ladles some soup.)

The soup.

The soup is served.

(Meanwhile, Yu Ri, in charge of setting, adds lettuce.)

(She sets up the side dishes quickly.)

We have to make three more meals, right?

- Three meals. - Yes.

Okay.

(One, two, three, four)

(He brings bowls of rice with his long legs.)

- Please put soup here. - Okay.

- Please clean this spot here. - Okay.

(Now that everything is set on the trays)

Please make them look good.

Three spicy pork...

(They take the trays to the customers.)

(Once they take it to the tables, their mission is complete.)

Excuse me.

Four spicy pork and one guksu.

(CEO Paik cooks the orders.)

(Yu Ri sets them on trays.)

(And John Park serves them.)

(Baekbanjip Avengers in Naples)

Okay.

(With the perfect division of roles, )

(they take care of the orders that poured in.)

(As they quickly served 11 people, they made 182 euros.)

(Current sales: 610 euros)

This is amazing. We're on fire.

Jang Woo, I think our video worked.

Right.

I know. I should get paid for that.

- For directing that. - As a director.

Shouldn't we get paid?

(Can they beat Restaurant T at this rate?)

(Actually)

(There's something CEO Paik is counting on.)

(The tables are full outdoors.)

(So are the ones in the hall.)

(There's a room next to the hall.)

(A table for a big group indoors)

(Why this space is empty)

(On the first day of the business)

English? Yes.

We'll come that day.

Okay, great. Thank you.

(A customer booked a table for 7.)

(They left this space empty for the reserved customer.)

(At least 100 euros of sales are expected.)

(That's what he is counting on!)

Their reservation was for 1:30pm.

It's already past that time. Why aren't they here yet?

It's a no-show.

(Will he be stabbed in the back?)

The eight seats are still empty.

Didn't we get his number?

(They must come.)

(There's one more person who is concerned.)

(Looking for something here and there)

Jang Woo, where's the sweet and sour chicken?

The sweet and sour chicken is here.

(There are only 3 pieces of sweet and sour chicken left.)

- We don't have more? - No.

Should we use this instead?

(They're also running out of rolled omelet.)

We don't have mats for the spicy pork meals.

(They're also out of table mats.)

We're out of this.

Please wipe that and set it up.

Is the cabbage done?

(Is the cabbage ready to replace the endives?)

Do we have to boil it?

(It's not ready yet.)

(The side dishes were full at the start.)

(They ran out quickly as more people came.)

(Now, they're out.)

(At this pace, it'd be a problem if the reserved customer came.)

(Current time 1:40pm)

(Then a group of customers comes in.)

Hello.

Eight people. How are you?

- I'm fine. - Okay.

You can sit over there.

Yes. In that room.

I'll be right with you.

(He gets flustered and stutters.)

(Peeking)

The big group arrived.

- They're here? - Yes.

- The eight customers are here? - Yes.

(We have a big group when we're out of side dishes.)

(The staff is at a loss.)

(A crisis at Baekbanjip?)

(They have customers but no side dishes.)

We're out of sweet and sour chicken now.

- We have more. I'll get it for you. - Okay.

(We were out of chicken, but now we have more?)

Put one napkin here.

Okay. I'll do it.

(On his way back into the kitchen, )

(he saw the sweet and sour chicken.)

We'll be out of sweet and sour chicken.

We're running out of rolled omelets too.

(I'll just make more.)

(He prepares batter for sweet and sour chicken.)

(Kneading)

(He drops the chicken pieces into the oil.)

(After frying sweet and sour chicken, )

(he makes rolled omelets.)

Gosh, it's hot.

(He rolls it up with a short shout.)

(He takes out cabbage to replace the ssam vegetables.)

(He puts them in one by one at first.)

(Then he pours them all in.)

(How CEO Paik prepared the side dishes in advance)

- What? - We have sweet and sour chicken.

You shouldn't have said that. I was going to...

It was going to be a surprise.

That's great. I knew it.

(I was counting on you.)

(He's just a ray of light.)

(The group follows the customer who made a reservation.)

(Now, the reserved room is also filled with customers.)

Antonio, how are you?

You'll replace me when I get fired.

(Confused)

(The reservation customers are colleagues out on a team lunch.)

(Only 30m away...)

(from Baekbanjip, )

(there's the Campania government office where Naples belongs.)

(The office and Baekbanjip)

(With the office in the center, there are many offices in the area.)

(The restaurants here get busy with office workers during lunch.)

Shouldn't we get back by 2:30pm?

I have a video conference later.

Right. My department too.

I don't think we can be back by 2:30pm.

If we're late, we can just say something came up.

(Lunch comes before work to the workers in Naples.)

(They only have 45 minutes left before going back.)

(They order quickly.)

She's a vegetarian.

Okay. We have a vegetarian menu ready.

It's served with tofu and vegetables.

Eggs are okay.

- Eggs are okay? - Yes.

- How about chicken? No chicken? - No.

- Okay, but eggs are okay. - Yes.

Let's choose what we want to order now.

If you want the first dish, raise your hand.

- The first one. One, two, three. - Spicy pork.

- Three spicy pork meals with ssam. - Okay.

Three guksu meals and one vegetarian dish.

Okay. And one vegetarian dish.

- One vegetarian dish. - Yes.

And do you want any drinks?

Drinks...

- Can I have one makgeolli? - Makgeolli?

It's a little sweet. Is that okay?

Makgeolli is sweet.

How about raspberry wine?

That's also sweet.

(He closes the menu.)

All drinks are sweet.

(Should I just drink water?)

(He might not be able to sell any alcoholic beverages.)

Well, it's quite sweet,

but it's an aphrodisiac drink.

- Is that so? - Yes.

Okay. Then I want four.

Give him four. I don't need it.

(Everyone in the world wants to have good stamina.)

We have 4 spicy pork meals, but 1 of them is a vegetarian.

So three spicy pork meals.

Four spicy pork and three guksu.

Three spicy pork and three guksu.

- Okay. And one vegetarian. - One vegetarian.

(Let me get started.)

(This kitchen is only for CEO Paik.)

(Dishes he must cook alone)

(Spicy pork 3, guksu 3, vegetarian meal 1)

(He boils noodles first as it takes a long time.)

(While they're being cooked, he cooks spicy pork with a blowtorch.)

- More sweet and sour chicken. - Okay.

(He heats up the sauce for the chicken on burner number 8.)

Let me make the vegetarian dish first.

(He fries up the tofu for the vegetarian customer.)

(He adds it to the sweet and sour chicken sauce.)

(He coats it with the sweet and spicy sauce.)

This is vegetarian fried tofu.

(Vegetarian fried tofu is done.)

Sprinkle sesame seeds on it.

(He comes back to burner number 8...)

(and puts the sauce in the pan again.)

(It's time for the fried chicken to be coated.)

(He doesn't hesitate to toss it around.)

(The chicken is coated already.)

(Then he put stir-fried tofu on burner number 1 at the same time.)

(Stir-fried tofu, spicy pork, kalguksu, beef radish soup, )

(beef broth, boiled cabbage, sweet and sour chicken)

(He's using 7 burners simultaneously!)

Is the vegetarian tofu ready? What about doenjang soup?

- We have it. - Spinach doenjang soup.

(He boiled spinach doenjang soup before the opening.)

(He takes boiled kalguksu off of burner number 3.)

- Sweet and sour chicken is here. - Okay.

The chef made it instantly.

- It's more delicious as it's hot. - It's even more delicious.

(He becomes shy when he gets compliments.)

- Heat it up. - Okay.

(He puts the empty pot back on the burner number 3.)

(Then spicy pork on burner number 2 is served last.)

(He made vegetarian dishes, main dishes, and side dishes alone.)

(CEO Paik can do 100 people's job alone in the kitchen!)

Who ordered guksu?

- Kalguksu here. - Okay.

(Yu Ri serves the guksu.)

- Thank you. - Enjoy.

- Mix them up. - Okay.

- You all heard it, right? - Mix it.

Excuse me. Mix it before you eat.

- Okay. - Okay.

Mix it up.

(Please mix it.)

That's great. Perfect.

(She approached each of them to teach how to eat their food.)

(Then a vegetarian meal is served.)

- Here's your vegetarian meal. - Thank you.

(Impressed)

- This is made... - Okay.

With tofu and vegetables.

(The main dish, stir-fired tofu)

(A special meal for the vegetarian customer)

(She makes a wrap with laver and stir-fried vegetables.)

(The first vegetarian wrap at Baekbanjip)

(Humming)

(She tries the main dish, stir-fried tofu.)

(She hums again.)

You might not want to,

but try this tofu. It's delicious.

(Satisfied)

- It's good. - It's very delicious, guys.

Right. It's so good.

This pork dish is amazing.

But we should hurry. It's already 2:15pm.

(The office workers feel pressured to finish lunch quickly.)

They might call or message us soon.

Well, as long as they don't kill us.

(What kind of work environment do you work in?)

(Meanwhile, the customer who was having kalguksu)

(Twirling)

(He takes a bite elegantly.)

(This is how Italians eat kalguksu.)

(As he's an office worker, he eats fast!)

(He already inhaled his food.)

It's delicious.

I'm sad that I can't try them all since I don't want to be late.

(Two of them will go back to the office.)

The two of us will go back at least.

(They get back to work quickly for their colleagues.)

So we're going to look bad now.

(He feels slightly sorry.)

Whoever suggested coming here, it was a good idea.

It was me.

(Buzzing)

(Her phone is vibrating.)

"Things are crazy. Please come back shortly."

Really?

(Trembling)

(The Italian workers go back to the office in a rush.)

They messaged you?

No. It was in the group chat.

(Modern life is busy.)

(But we're glad they got to finish their food.)

(Empty)

(Current time)

(Glancing over)

(After seeing people in the outdoor dining space, )

(they check out the restaurant.)

Are you waiting for a table?

- Yes. - Yes.

(They can take the only 2-seater table available now.)

This is so nice, isn't it?

Yes, it's nice.

(He quickly cleans the table.)

(Rushing)

This way, please.

(The party of 3 enters too.)

(Baekbanjip)

Let's get them both so we can try everything.

(Spicy pork meal with ssam 1, kalguksu 1)

The three of us are all getting the same thing.

Yes. I smelled it, and it was very nice.

- Three servings? - Thank you.

Okay.

(He takes a chilled bottle of makgeolli out of the fridge.)

(After shaking it well, he pours it into three glasses.)

(Their makgeolli is served.)

It's makgeolli.

- Cheers to us. - Cheers to us.

It smells nice.

It smells nice.

It doesn't taste that great, but it's not bad.

(He tries another sip.)

It's actually disgusting.

I wouldn't say it's disgusting, but it's kind of...

This is great because I want to visit Korea,

but now I know what not to get when I do go to Korea.

I won't be ordering that rice wine. I'll order something else.

I really like Koreans.

I watch all sorts of Korean films and TV series.

(He just doesn't like makgeolli.)

(They're candidly evaluating everything. Who are they?)

You know, in the newspaper...

I told them I was a reporter.

(Three reporters stumbled upon Baekbanjip and decided to eat here.)

- Thank you so much. - Thank you.

(The customers thank the kitchen staff as they leave.)

Thank you.

(What's going on?)

(The reporter's instinct kicks in.)

What's going on?

Someone must be famous. Maybe the chef? I'm not sure.

(Now, they're curious about the chef.)

What if the most famous Korean artist is here,

and we have no idea?

Even though we're all reporters.

Well, I do see a figurine over there.

It must be the chef. Who could it be?

(Guess who I am.)

We came here to try Korean food.

We have no idea what show this is. We know nothing.

I want to find out. Let me look it up.

A famous chef...

A Korean restaurant...

(The Italian reporters are looking for clues.)

(Looking around, studying the figurine, searching the Internet)

I think it's him.

(They found something.)

"Paik Jong Won."

(While the reporters are putting their skills to use...)

(The kitchen is checking the new order.)

- We got a new order? - Yes.

What is it?

Four spicy pork meals and one serving of guksu.

- Four spicy pork meals? - Yes.

Gosh, the canola leaves...

(They're running low on rice with canola leaves.)

The rice with canola leaves...

Can you quickly prepare some?

Yes, totally. Can you take care of this for me?

Yes. Just for one serving.

- Just a little. We're out of rice. - Okay.

(She scoops an ample amount of rice.)

(She puts on a new glove.)

(A handful of canola leaves)

(A little more)

(She adds sesame oil and salt, then gently mixes them together.)

(She neatly packs it into a bowl.)

(Glancing over)

That looks awesome.

It's going great.

(She adds the garnish on top.)

(A perfect companion to kalguksu)

(Rice with canola leaves is now ready.)

It's the last bowl.

- My gosh. - It's the last one.

(Everything is going perfectly.)

It's perfect.

(The rice with canola leaves is on standby.)

Oh, it's gone.

- What was it? - What's up?

The plates. The side dish plates.

We have to wash them.

We don't have time to wash them now, but we have to do it.

(All the side dish plates...)

(are gone.)

Hold on. We have no side dish plates left.

- Let's get organized first. - We have to wash them.

I'll wash them and bring them over. Go set it up.

Okay.

- These two. - Okay.

(Jang Woo takes over.)

(This former CEO skillfully washes the dishes.)

We can't sell food because we don't have enough plates?

It means we're doing very well.

We'll beat the number one restaurant in Italy very soon.

(He delivers the clean plates.)

Come on. How can we beat them?

(For now, their target is Restaurant T.)

Four servings of spicy stir-fried pork are here!

(The spicy pork meals with ssam are being prepared step by step.)

Okay.

First, take 1 spicy pork meal to Table 1.

Spicy pork meal with ssam.

It's for you. The soup. Yes, the soup is all yours.

This table here?

(The reporters get their spicy pork meals too.)

Enjoy.

(The last bowl of kalguksu is also ready to be served.)

Are we done?

(Kalguksu is served too.)

(Spicy pork meal with ssam 1, kalguksu 1)

The rice is mixed with some kind of vegetable. It's different.

(He twirls the fork around as if he's eating pasta.)

I'm going to overeat today.

(He tries the noodles first.)

(He tries the potato.)

(Then he tries the rice with canola leaves.)

It's very good.

This is too delicious.

Everything is so good.

(Now, they dig in.)

(He eats the noodles with the well-cooked potato.)

I burned my mouth.

(Then I shall blow on it to cool it down first.)

(It's time to try the broth.)

(Refreshed)

It's really nice to eat hot soup on this cold day.

Oh, my.

Naples has come a long way.

It's becoming international, isn't it?

I'd be more than happy to eat this food again.

- For sure. - I love this.

(His nose is about to touch the bowl.)

(He mixes roasted seaweed...)

(and the rice with canola leaves into the broth.)

(He inhales it.)

(Empty)

(That was a fantastic meal.)

(Will they like Korean food?)

(First, they wipe their hands clean.)

(He picks up a lettuce leaf.)

(He puts a spoonful of ssamjang on it.)

(He tastes spicy stir-fried pork.)

(Then he adds a spoonful of the pork to his ssam.)

(He closes his ssam and puts the whole thing in his mouth.)

(He twirls his hand while enjoying the flavors.)

It's good.

(Then I'll try it with some rice.)

(Eating)

It's good.

(Thankfully, they're enjoying the food.)

The only thing I don't like is this champagne-like drink.

I think it'll be interesting to drink it with the food.

(It might go well with the Korean dishes.)

(I want to try it too.)

No?

This is no good.

(Makgeolli just tastes too foreign to them.)

I feel like I'm Korean now.

What are we going to do once this Korean restaurant closes?

Let's help them promote the business.

Let's ask them to franchise the business.

(Another Korean restaurant might open up in Naples.)

My hands are all swollen.

- Mine too. - No joke, right?

My gosh. I've never seen them so swollen before.

They look like a granny's hands.

(The CEO is spacing out, exhausted.)

(He spots his boss spacing out.)

(He gives Yu Ri a bottle of water.)

- I got this. - Okay.

- Have some water. - Fill it all the way up.

(He's exhausted after handling the 7 burners.)

This spot is perfect...

when you're taking a little breather.

(He gulps down water hiding in a spot where customers can't see him.)

Oh, boy.

(Sighing)

(Groaning)

(Groaning while stretching)

Hey.

That's not cool. What if the customers see you?

Do better.

- I'm sorry. - Yes, hide there.

Do it there so the customers can't see you.

(Like me)

(He's hiding in the basement.)

(Peeking)

What's Mr. Paik doing?

I'm just sitting here because my back is killing me.

- I see. Yes, get some rest. - Rest, my foot.

(I'm just hiding from the customers.)

I can't go out because of the customers.

(He removes the last order ticket. The kitchen is now closed.)

(Leftover deep-fried tofu)

(Grabbing one)

(Jang Woo was curious about the deep-fried tofu.)

(Enjoying it)

(He tries the leftover raspberry wine too.)

(Satisfied)

It helps increase your stamina.

(He tastes everything to make sure they're good enough to be served.)

(I should try the broth too before it gets thrown out.)

(Satisfied)

Hey, ask Yu Ri to hand over the elastic band.

- Yu Ri. The elastic band. - Yes?

Elastic band? What elastic band?

- What are you talking about? - The yellow one. The one she has.

Which one...

You know, the elastic band. The big one.

- What? - "The elastic band you were using."

Oh, okay!

Throw it.

- Why do you need it? - Yes, this works.

(Shaking)

Hey, why do you use such a strong one?

This is...

(She can't hear him.)

(Passed out)

(We thought Day 3 was over.)

(Right at that moment, )

(we see a car approaching Baekbanjip.)

- Be careful. - Okay.

Don't deep-fry them all together.

It's hard but fun at the same time.

This restaurant business.

- Really? - Yes, it's fun.

Because it's doing so well.

(Someone is here to visit Baekbanjip.)

What should we do once we're done prepping the chicken breast?

- We have so much to do. - After this,

we have to cut potatoes and onions.

We have to make braised potatoes.

- We have to peel potatoes. - Yes, we should peel them first.

Peel all the onions too.

Yes, sir!

(Hopping)

(He says hello to his fans as he walks toward the restaurant.)

(Baekbanjip)

- Do you want to go in first? - "Baekbanjip." No, you go in first.

- You go in first. - No, I'll follow you.

Oh, it's empty.

- Really? - I can't believe it's empty.

(There is no one in the dining hall.)

- This is cool. - Can we sit down anywhere?

(Kim Min Jae, SSC Napoli defender)

(Won Serie A for the 1st time in 33 years, named Player of the Month)

- This is different. - Where shall we sit?

Take out all the green onions. We have to prep them.

Yes, sir!

(They're working hard.)

(They're too busy to notice them.)

Hello.

- Hello. - What?

- Hello. - What?

- Hello. - Kim Min Jae is here!

- What? - My gosh!

- Hello. - Kim Min Jae is here!

- What? - My gosh!

- This is cool. - What?

- I know. Hello. - They had no idea.

- Kim Min Jae is here! - What?

(Everyone is screaming.)

(That moment, CEO Paik remembered something.)

- My gosh! - This is so cool!

(We should have Kim Min Jae's face on our uniform.)

(Can't the restaurant's name be "Kim Min Jae?")

(If Kim Min Jae visits us, it'll give the restaurant great exposure.)

(Can we get a photo of him if we know someone who's close to him?)

(He thought the restaurant's success depended on Kim Min Jae.)

- Hello! - Hello!

- How did you find us here? - What brings you by?

(How one feels when a famous person visits one's restaurant)

- Hello! - My gosh, hello.

(He eats.)

(He can't stop eating.)

(A restaurant highly recommended by this celebrity in Naples)

(We recorded you eating, so we'll use the video tomorrow.)

(We're here to do business.)

(After the long but rewarding day)

(Now, they aim to take 1st place.)

(They come up with special strategies to take 1st place.)

(Special Strategy 1)

(Special Strategy 2: A special menu)

(Special Strategy 3)

(Will Baekbanjip become the number 1 restaurant?)

(However, they encounter problems.)

(People are waiting!)

(Everyone is on edge.)

(Panicked)

(Don't just stand there. Get the egg. Put it here.)
