Original subtitles

(During the early hours at Seoul Station)

(Despite the time, people come and go nonstop.)

(One by one, members of the catering crew arrive.)

Hello.

- You look ordinary today. - He does.

There are days when I dress ordinarily.

(Chuckling)

(His fashion style became more ordinary after a few episodes.)

Master, your outfit looks passionate today.

(Compared to Kyoung Pyo's, Paik's outfit looks passionate.)

We have one person missing.

Shouldn't we head to the opening segment location?

Here you go.

(Mysterious tickets are given to them.)

- What are these? - They're tickets.

Goodness.

(Train tickets?)

You make great copies since the incident at Incheon Airport.

(He can't trust the staff since the Incheon Airport incident.)

- These are real train tickets. - Really?

We can find out by scanning it.

(QR code on the ticket)

We can find out when we scan the QR code.

The catering request form comes up.

(The catering request form comes up.)

(When the QR code is scanned, the catering request form comes up.)

(Various destinations from Changwon to Gwangju)

(Among so many destinations, where is the catering crew headed?)

- Don't I need to bring my wallet? - Seoul?

- Your wallet? - Yes.

Something simple.

Which railroad track should we get to?

Over here...

(The catering crew descends to the platform.)

I used to take the train very often.

My favorite thing was eating boxed lunches on the train.

(He only has memories related to food.)

Will they come to us, or do we have to get there?

You have to take the train.

Usually, there's no train that departs this way.

Are we really getting on a train?

(Are we really getting on a train?)

What if the staff put this up too?

(Kyoung Pyo suspects them endlessly.)

(They sit down and wait for their train.)

- Didn't we do something then? - Yes.

It's coming.

It's coming from that way.

(A train approaches them for real.)

We can take the KTX.

- It's number seven. - Is this our train?

It's the right train.

- Train Number 912. - Hey.

- Get in. - Should we get in?

(Of course, you should get in.)

- Our seats... - They probably didn't...

bring a train that doesn't even exist at this hour.

(Kyoung Pyo keeps suspecting them.)

Number seven is...

Do we have any seating numbers?

Yes, mine is 10D.

- 10D. - 10D.

I hope that the train ride will be three hours.

(He wants to travel far without knowing the destination.)

In the past, food was sold on the train.

A dining car.

(He doesn't know where they're headed, but he wants to eat.)

I don't think boxed meals are sold anymore on the train.

- No, they aren't. - Right?

(On the platform)

How can I cover my beautiful face?

Did they get on?

I feel so nervous.

- Seven, seven. - Right.

(A mysterious passenger gets on suspiciously.)

A dining car.

(She approaches the catering crew.)

I don't think boxed meals are sold anymore on the train.

- No, they aren't. - Right?

(The catering crew has no idea.)

- In the past... - In Korea, boxed meal culture...

In the past...

- They used to sell kimchi. - We should create it.

I'm sorry, but this is my seat.

- You startled me. - Goodness.

We should create a boxed meal culture.

I'm sorry, but this is my seat.

- You startled me. - See that?

Who is this?

- Isn't she a comedienne? - Isn't it Bo Mi?

- It's my seat. - Isn't it Bo Mi?

- I'm sorry. - Isn't it Bo Mi?

You took my seat.

I'm sorry.

(Who are you?)

- Isn't she from... - She looks familiar.

- Pardon? - How could you not recognize me?

I feel very...

How could you not recognize me?

(What?)

- I feel very hurt. - Hey, you!

- Why don't you recognize me? - Hey.

Yes?

What is she doing here?

- Gosh, don't do this. - Hello.

Hey, Yu Ri.

- Wait a minute. - Hello.

(Today's guest, Kwon Yu Ri)

(She worked with Paik in Europe on "The Genius Paik.")

(With her inborn aesthetic sense)

It looks pretty.

(Even Paik who's hard to please liked her.)

(Detailed Bo Hyun, brace yourself.)

(She even has cooking skills.)

Yu Ri.

(She becomes Paik's one and only favorite.)

(We'll be able to count on her today too.)

Gosh.

I can count on Yu Ri.

- Right. - I met Da Hyun at Seoul Station.

The train is moving. It's moving backward.

It's moving backward.

It feels like we're dancing the moonwalk.

It feels strange.

Moving backward feels strange.

(Where are we going today?)

If Su Geun had a guitar, it'd be fun on our way there.

- That's true. - Right.

This won't be romantic.

On the train to Chuncheon,

there was a place where you could step outside.

On the train?

While sitting or lying on the floor, we played the guitar.

After stealing boiled eggs from others,

we played innocent.

During the holidays,

people pushed themselves into the train.

Have you been on Pigeon Train?

Pigeon Train?

It stopped everywhere that seemed like a station.

He's reminiscing about the past again.

There's a story...

of long-lived Lee Su Geun.

There's a rumor that Su Geun was present in every place...

mentioned in modern Korean history.

- Su Geun... - When Kim Il Sung died,

the country was in a state of emergency.

Many children were left hungry...

because they couldn't afford to pack boxed lunches.

On a telephone with a rotary dial,

we called 567 to get to the operator.

Kyoung Pyo, there were many LP factories in the past.

Master, in the past...

In the past...

A long time ago, they beat you up a lot.

- We fought bums all the time. - Right.

We might find Su Geun in old photos.

Even during the Joseon Dynasty.

(Lee Su Geun born in the 1900s)

Makgeolli...

There's one with sugar.

We're passing by Mapo.

Are we passing by MBC already?

(However...)

Already?

(Is the train still in Seoul?)

(Usually, when you take a train from Seoul Station)

(Seoul, Daejeon, Jeonju, Daegu...)

(The train is usually southbound.)

(The train that left Seoul Station)

(Seoul, Yongsan)

(It's going up.)

(If they continue this way,)

(the only station is the terminus called Haengsin Station.)

It's written here.

- It's written. - As I said, it's Haengsin Station.

- Right, it's Haengsin Station. - Haengsin?

(However)

(The train passes through the station.)

What's going on?

(The train passes the terminus and continues.)

Is there no more station?

We might get to North Korea all of a sudden.

Where are we?

(Is today's catering area in North Korea?)

Right?

What...

- Oh, my. - The train keeps going.

Look behind you. It's huge.

(Paik notices something outside the window.)

- That's where we're going. - The railway track is splitting.

It's splitting.

(The members also notice the change.)

(There were only two railway tracks.)

(It started to split.)

(The railway became vast all of a sudden.)

Master, we're here.

We're heading towards a giant building.

It looks like we're entering a garage.

(Both of them can't take their eyes off.)

Look. I bet you've never seen this before.

(Behind the endless railway track)

(Unidentified yet enormous station)

(They pass the terminus and go to its side.)

(Where trains head after they finish operating)

(This is a general hospital for trains.)

(Metropolitan Train Vehicle Maintenance Workshop)

(During 1 year,)

(they maintain and repair 9,600 trains.)

(When trains come in, they do a simple inspection...)

(and light emergency care.)

(Trains used for a long time are separated.)

(Serious operations including replacement of internal components)

(They revive the hearts of the trains.)

(The 2nd hometown for the trains)

(Hooray, I'm leaving the hospital.)

(Half the size of Yeouido)

(An enormous train maintenance station)

(Metropolitan Train Vehicle Maintenance Workshop)

We're moving slowly now.

(I'm carrying the catering crew.)

Once the operation is over, the train must come here.

- It comes here... - Yes, for the maintenance.

- It's like a hangar. - Right.

(Jong Won: It's like a hangar.)

It looks like the world outside of the Matrix.

There are so many machines.

(The train starts to stop slowly.)

- Let's go. - We're here, everyone.

Hello. How do we get off?

- Hello. - My gosh.

Goodness.

Be careful, everyone. Thank you.

(The catering crew gets off in a row.)

- What's going on here? - Thank you. Hello.

We need the steps because of the height.

(The train has been lifted for repairs.)

They lifted up the train to take a look.

It's in the air.

It's to check underneath the train.

Hello.

(Did Kyoung Pyo notice someone?)

Hello.

One, two, three.

- Hello, who ordered Paik Jong Won? - Who ordered Paik Jong Won?

(Who ordered Paik Jong Won?)

It was me.

Nice to meet you. I'm Choi Seok Joong,

and I'm the head of the Metropolitan Train Vehicle Maintenance Workshop.

- He's the head of MTVMW. - Nice to meet you.

I've been working at MTVMW for 38 years.

I'm Choi Seok Joong, the head of MTVMW.

In 1996, I went to France to learn...

about the technology related to TGV.

I returned to Korea at the end of 1997.

When the KTX line opened on April 1, 2004,

I still remember clearly when the first KTX departed.

(They developed the technology and produced the trains themselves.)

(He's been with Korea's high-speed trains since the beginning.)

(The father of KTX, Head Choi Seok Joong)

When the train finishes operating,

- does it always get repaired here? - Yes.

About 60 percent of all trains are repaired here.

(60 percent of high-speed trains are repaired here.)

The rest are handled in Busan and Gwangju.

Do they get repaired in those cities when they get there?

- That's correct. - I see.

Did you call Backpacker Chef...

- for a special dish? - My employees work...

very hard.

They work 24 hours, both day and night.

(For maintenance work after the train operating hours)

(They work without rest even at night.)

Due to the heat in the summer,

trains break down more easily.

(Compared to usual, there are more trains to repair.)

(Despite the heat wave,)

(they must wear dust-proof uniforms and safety helmets.)

(The mechanics go through narrow places...)

(and work covered in sweat.)

(The workplace is so big that the air conditioner is useless.)

(Citizens are priorities during the holidays.)

(The employees can't take the KTX as freely as they'd like.)

(They're responsible for the railroad that transports people.)

(For mechanics who can't travel freely)

I'm planning to retire next year.

I'd like to prepare them a memorable meal.

(The client was worried about his employees who work hard.)

For my employees who work hard,

I'd like to offer them specialty dishes...

from regions where KTX makes a stop.

The workers at this place repair...

vehicles that travel all over the country.

- But they can't travel themselves. - Right.

- They're too busy. - They have to repair.

(This is how today's request form was made.)

(Backpacker Chef's Tasty Train)

(Specialty dishes from KTX stations)

Specialty dishes from regions where KTX makes a stop?

(Specialty dishes from regions where KTX makes a stop?)

Seoul, Daejeon, Daegu, Busan, and...

(I know!)

There are many regions.

Doesn't the KTX go to Gangwon Province these days?

Yes, it goes to Gangneung and Andong.

Daejeon, Busan, Daegu, Gwangju,

- Jeonju, - Daejeon.

Mokpo.

We should get going.

- I'll take you... - Okay.

- to the cafeteria. - We need to see the cafeteria.

Gosh, it's huge.

(The maintenance station is as wide as the length of the train.)

(The travel distance is long because the trains are long.)

(They can't get around such a big site on foot.)

(Let's go.)

(Their means of transportation is bicycles.)

Master Paik looks like a supervisor from behind.

(He's moving while looking like a maintenance supervisor.)

Our employees are working now.

- Are they replacing the wheels? - Yes.

They use the equipment to inspect the train.

They take out the wheels and replace them.

(When the train comes in, they repair it after inspection.)

Is the train lifted?

- This is so fascinating. - It must be so heavy.

We'd like to serve you a meal today.

Is there anything you'd like in particular?

It's the hottest day of the year, so I'd like samgyetang.

Since it's the hottest day of the year?

- We have samgyetang so far. - Samgyetang?

- Today... - What about you, sir?

I'd like refreshing naengmyeon.

- Naengmyeon? - Naengmyeon?

- It's because it's hot. - It's hot.

(The workplace is so big that the air conditioner is useless.)

Sir in the back, what would you like?

- I'd like naengmyeon as well. - Naengmyeon?

- Yes. - Naengmyeon?

- It's because it's hot. - Naengmyeon?

They need something cold.

- Is it hot here? - Yes, it's very hot.

- There's cold chicken soup. - You'd like either a cold dish...

or a hot dish like samgyetang to fight the heat, right?

- Let's go. - I'll take you...

- to the kitchen. - We'll be back...

- with surprising dishes. - See you later.

The place is big,

- so we'll take the car. - The car?

- Yes. - I see.

- I'm glad to see it. - I was wondering about the car.

I'm glad to see it.

(They take the backpack-car that they're happy to see.)

(They arrive at the cafeteria building.)

I'll take you to the cafeteria.

(The catering crew heads directly to the cafeteria.)

The cafeteria is huge.

(Today's big and wide cafeteria)

Here's the kitchen.

(They go to check the kitchen.)

- The kitchen looks good. - It's nice.

Oh, my.

- It's well equipped. - The kitchen is so spacious.

- Mr. Choi scared us for no reason. - This is great.

(The catering crew is happy that their kitchen is big.)

We need a good kitchen.

We'll be able to make anything today.

- Let's make everything. - The cauldrons are huge too.

(Large cauldrons catch Kyoung Pyo's attention.)

(There are 5 burners, which are the most important.)

(Today's kitchen is nice and big to work in.)

We should boil some water to get started.

(Kyoung Pyo scans.)

We have an iron plate too.

We should make soup in this, right?

(Starting with checking the cauldron for soups)

(He checks the fridge before he's told to.)

There are trays.

Yes, trays.

Sieves!

- We need them for prepping. - Right.

(Next, Paik checks the pantry.)

Right, the pantry.

(He checks the pantry like any other day.)

Gosh, what's this?

I see they have chicken.

(Raw chicken had been bought for chicken porridge.)

- Samgyetang... - Because it's a malbok?

Chicken has been stocked for dog day.

They were going to make samgyetang.

They're smaller chickens.

They already have chicken.

(After they check all the condiments)

(They go over the request once again.)

(From Seoul to Daejeon, to Daegu, and to Busan)

(Paik's Tasty Train)

(The high-speed train travels the country.)

(Chuncheon)

(Gangneung)

(Daejeon)

(Jeonju)

(Damyang)

(Gwangju)

(Daegu)

(Busan)

(Various dishes around the country that represents each region)

(Today's mission)

(Recreate dishes of the cities that can be reached by train.)

(Which dishes from which region will be cooked?)

(It's hard to decide since there are many cities to choose from.)

(Out of all those dishes, what can we cook?)

- What should we cook? - First of all,

let's think about the dishes of Daejeon.

The S bakery.

Sorry about that.

The best dishes of Daejeon are kalguksu...

or tofu duruchigi.

(Tofu duruchigi)

(The main ingredient tofu is boiled in a gochujang-based sauce.)

(Daejeon's famous tofu duruchigi)

That sounds delicious.

I love it.

- Maybe a stew. - It's packed with protein too.

- And Daegu. - Daegu.

- What's famous in Daegu? - Daegu?

Daegu is famous for reed tripes.

(Reed tripe is a staple dish of Daegu!)

- But... - Some people hate that.

(He rejects the idea since some may hate it.)

Daegu...

is famous for its fried chicken.

- Of course. - That's right. Daegu...

was the first to designate a fried chicken street.

(More than a million people visited Daegu Chimac Festival.)

(Daegu Chimac Festival is now one of Daegu's main festivals.)

(The fried chicken festival takes place in Daegu every year!)

We already have halved chicken, so we should utilize them.

That's because...

- We could fry them. - They're not frozen chicken,

so we should cook with them today.

How about fried chicken...

with a cold sauce?

(Topped with spicy and tangy cold sauce to blast away the heat)

(Dish number two: Fried chicken to Daegu)

Next up is Busan.

(The third destination is Busan!)

Glass noodles.

- Bibim glass noodles. - There's a spicy noodle dish.

It's famous.

(Bibim glass noodles, a classic street food in Busan)

- It's tasty because it's amusing. - What is?

Bibim glass noodles? I haven't had any.

- I haven't even heard of it. - It's similar to japchae.

I doubt it's a well-known dish.

I don't know the dish even though I go to Busan often.

It's not a dish many know about.

You have to go to the traditional market to have some.

They're only sold at a few diners.

(They set bibim glass noodles aside since the dish isn't popular.)

How about something that instantly cools you down?

Their temperatures will be elevated when they get here.

Exactly. It's hot...

- to even stand outside. - They'll want something refreshing.

Then,

instead of a hot soup,

we should serve something cold.

A cold soup.

Cold cucumber soup...

with seaweed from Gijang.

(They'll add seaweed that is famous in Busan.)

(Busan's specialty seaweed)

(Fresh seaweed will be added to the third dish.)

(Cold seaweed cucumber soup to Busan)

What comes to mind when you think of Gangneung?

- Potato. - Potato jeon.

(Gangwon Province is known for its potatoes!)

- How about thistle rice? - That sounds delicious.

I love thistle rice served with a sauce.

Thistle rice of Gangwon Province.

(Dish number four: Thistle potato rice to Gangneung)

(Thus, today's dishes have been chosen.)

(Tofu duruchigi, fried chicken,)

(thistle potato rice, cold seaweed cucumber soup)

(The secret dish will be revealed shortly.)

They have six packets of batter powder.

(He checks the pantry inventory before going grocery shopping.)

We don't need that much powder anyway.

Would someone like to start frying them?

At least start prepping. Not everyone has to go.

- The chicken... - Then...

- Take out all the chicken... - Yes?

and rinse them in water.

(Not just me but him)

(He knows what's coming.)

Add batter powder to it.

Should Kyoung Pyo and I stay back?

- Yes, do that. - Right.

The rest can go and help with the groceries.

(The Prep Duo, Team Grocery Shopping)

(On the 12th catering job, they're finally dividing the tasks.)

Should we take out all the chicken in there?

- Rinse and dry. - And?

- And then coat them. - In batter powder?

Place them in there and coat them in batter powder.

After that's done, find cooking oil...

and find one of the pots to use.

Pour the oil in so we can fry the chicken.

- Bring the temperature up. - Sure.

Also, find a place for our little one.

Our best worker.

(The 6th member Sseolae joined the crew last week.)

There's something you shouldn't forget.

- Get us some ice cream. - Got it.

(Got it)

Sseolae?

My gosh.

Kyoung Pyo, bring it here.

We need to work fast or we'll get an earful.

I'm 50 which isn't an age to be scolded.

(The prep duo that doesn't want to be scolded escorts Sseolae.)

- Let's go. - Off we go.

(Team Grocery Shopping heads out.)

(Current time: 8:30am, 3 hours and 30 minutes until serving)

They were laughing as they were leaving.

(Current time: 8:30am, 3 hours and 30 minutes until serving)

Where to? Should we work over here?

- Let me... - This is the largest sink.

(Paik's tasks: Rinse chicken and coat with batter powder)

(Bring oil to temperature, rinse and soak rice in water.)

- Where's the chicken? Here? - Yes, in there.

(Where's the chicken? Here?)

(Kyoung Pyo finds the chicken in the fridge first.)

(Lifting 20kg)

(First tray of chicken)

(Second tray of chicken)

(40kg)

(Muscle Man Kyoung Pyo is at work yet again.)

- Is that all? - Yes, including this.

Okay, there are 190 pieces.

- I'll get the rice. - Sure.

(Su Geun brings out rice from the pantry.)

(Heave-ho)

(6 pots are needed to cook the rice.)

- Can I help you with anything? - What?

- Can I help you? - No, I'm good.

- One person per task. - Right.

That way, only one will get yelled at.

(That way, only one will get yelled at.)

(Chicken and rice, a division of tasks)

I'm glad though.

At least we're done with the boring stuff.

Tell me about it.

I feel at ease.

(The passive workers like having something to do.)

(All that can be heard is the sound of water.)

(Rice is rinsed and placed on the side.)

Okay, that's perfect.

(Rice Man Su Geun completes his task first.)

Let's go over the list. Rice, check.

(Paik's tasks: Rinse and soak rice in water)

(Chicken Man Kyoung Pyo speeds up his work as well.)

I can see that I'm almost done.

(I can see that I'm almost done!)

Okay, I'm all done.

(Chicken Man Kyoung Pyo finishes rinsing the chicken.)

How can we coat them in powder?

(Another task that was given. Coating chicken in batter powder)

If you try doing this at once,

the chicken at the bottom...

might not get coated.

(So that the chicken is evenly coated in powder)

(Mix and rub)

(Adding half of the chicken)

(More batter powder is added on top.)

(Rubbing again)

This is made from the heart.

I'm coating them one by one.

You did a great job though.

(Kyoung Pyo joins him.)

The work we did...

- saved the others an hour. - Exactly.

- This is fun! - How fun is this?

This is so much fun.

(Paik's tasks: Rinse chicken and coat with batter powder)

(Bring oil to temperature, rinse and soak rice in water)

(Pouring in the oil)

(Lighting it up)

(Paik's tasks: Rinse chicken and coat with batter powder)

(Bring oil to temperature, rinse and soak rice in water)

(While the prep duo is finishing up in the kitchen)

(At the supermarket)

- Do you have Gijang seaweed? - Yes.

Sixteen in total. Okay.

(He heads to buy vinegar which adds a kick to the cold soup.)

They don't have extra strong vinegar.

(They don't have extra strong vinegar.)

They don't have extra strong vinegar.

(When he was going to settle for normal vinegar...)

Should we buy extra strong vinegar?

(The proactive worker found one somewhere.)

I like that attitude you always have.

Nice.

(Nice)

(What caught his eye while happily shopping)

(Thin noodles?)

Noodles on the side of the soup will create a nice picture.

(Thin noodles are added to the cart.)

Okay, we're good.

(Now that he has noodles, he's ready to make the cold soup.)

I found thistle,

but they only have this one box. What now?

- That's enough. - Is this enough? Okay.

(1 box of thistle confirmed)

(She easily gets them newly harvested potatoes.)

(Next up is the tofu for Daejeon's tofu duruchigi.)

(The improved passive worker places the tofu he found.)

(Gazing intensely)

(The true proactive worker has an idea.)

Let's make duruchigi with assorted seafood.

It'll be one luxurious tofu duruchigi.

(Luxurious with assorted seafood)

Find the man with the red T-shirt.

- Red T-shirt. - Red T-shirt.

(Red T-shirt is here.)

(He's still thinking about the last dish to cook.)

(Gangwon Province, Chungcheong Province,)

(Gyeongsang Province)

(Jeolla Province)

(He still hasn't chosen a dish from Jeolla Province.)

Jeolla Province...

(And for a while, Paik looks around the market.)

(What caught his attention?)

(And for a while, Paik looks around the market.)

(What caught his attention?)

Will you ask if they have bean sprouts in boxes?

Sir, do you have bean sprouts in boxes?

(After taking out many boxes of the bean sprouts,)

(he writes something down on the menu paper.)

(Bean sprout japchae?)

(Bean sprout japchae is a local dish of Jeolla Province.)

You make japchae only with the bean sprouts without the glass noodles.

(Paik plans to add ground meat.)

(Last dish: bean sprout japchae to Jeonju)

(Including Jeolla Province,)

(he finishes choosing the dishes for the tasty trip.)

Let's go now.

(They are ready.)

(The Catering Crew's train departs!)

(Today's mission)

(Recreate dishes of the cities that can be reached by train.)

(Announcing the destinations, point of departure)

(Daegu)

(Daejeon)

(Busan)

(Jeonju)

(Gangneung)

(The arrival time of the food serving is at 12pm.)

(Will the train arrive in time after stopping at each destination?)

- Let's go. - Let's go.

This way.

(Team Grocery Shopping has arrived.)

(A red T-shirt enters.)

(They don't see him because they are busy working.)

(He checks the chickens first.)

You're back.

Goodness.

Good job. We have lots of stuff again today.

We have a lot.

(After bringing in all the ingredients)

(Current time: 9:30)

(They have 2 hours and 30 minutes until serving.)

Where is the main part of the kitchen?

(Yu Ri browses the kitchen first.)

(After checking here and there,)

(she goes straight to the counter in front of her.)

(What is she putting up?)

I shouldn't forget these. Okay.

(Glancing)

Hey. You are different because you've done this before.

My students are different.

She puts up a to-do list before she gets started.

(Passive ones are confused.)

(What Yu Ri has put up...)

(is a to-do list for each dish.)

(Thistle potato rice: Vinegar, no sugar, sesame oil)

(Gijang cold seaweed soup: Onions, Cheongyang chili...)

(Squid duruchigi: Lots of sauce, lots of scallions)

(When Paik was The Genius Paik,)

(the first thing Pupil Yu Ri did...)

(was to write a to-do list for each dish.)

(Actively checking the things she should do)

(Today was no different.)

(As soon as Paik started to explain the menus...)

(I need to write it down.)

(She wrote it down on an ice cream wrapper...)

(because it was what she had.)

(She tore it...)

(to make Yu Ri's to-do list.)

(While taking out the tofu, she checks what to do next.)

(The next box comes in right away.)

(After taking out the seafood,)

(this becomes the tofu duruchigi zone.)

(She puts the ingredients that need to be prepped in the sink.)

(Scallions)

(Struggling)

(She carries the onions too.)

(Onions)

(Carrots)

(She puts the potatoes on the same spot too.)

I can do this and that.

And then...

(Glancing)

(Strolling)

Kyeong Hwan.

- Here's what you can do. - Okay.

- Rinse the cucumbers. - The cucumbers.

- And peel them with the slicer. - Okay.

It's here.

- Let's do it. - It's for the soup.

They also need to be peeled, right?

Peel them all.

(She allocates the carrots and the potatoes to Kyoung Pyo.)

(He washes the carrots as he was told to.)

I'll take care of the cucumbers.

(He struggles his way toward the cucumbers.)

The cucumbers...

I have a romantic history with the cucumbers.

(The passive guys are ordered to do things at once.)

Bo Hyun, split these in half and slice them.

- Do I do the onions first? - Yes.

(Active Bo Hyun takes the mound.)

Yu Ri.

Only Bo Hyun can do such high-level work with the machines.

- The cool stuff? - The mere workers...

What have you been doing?

I coated the chickens.

(He does a great job of what he was told to do.)

(The high-level talent Bo Hyun modifies Sseolae.)

(He slices the onions.)

(He also slices the scallions.)

(Then he repairs Sseolae.)

(Glancing)

Gosh.

Bo Hyun, you look like a mechanical engineering student.

What?

I can't eat spicy stuff.

(Ahn Bo Hyun: Graduated from a sports high school,)

(majored in modeling, a mechanical engineering student)

Gosh. You still look awesome.

Right? You're a mechanical engineering student.

(The pro of miscellaneous work envies the technician.)

(Washing the dishes hard)

(In the meantime, the oil starts to boil.)

You can do it over there.

Kyoung Pyo.

You should check the oil in between.

Okay.

We should fry the chickens.

(The first destination of the tasty trip across the country)

(We stop at Daegu, Daejeon, Busan, Jeonju, and Gangneung.)

(The one in charge of frying today)

(Fryer Kyoung Pyo challenges himself...)

(for a fried chicken as a whole, the essence of fried foods!)

(Thanks to the prepping duo, all he needs to do is to fry them.)

(He grabs a chicken...)

(and dips it in the oil to test.)

(When the chicken on the bottom...)

(starts to float,)

(it's time to fry them in full swing.)

(He dips two at a time.)

(I'll add 2 more chickens!)

It's hot.

(Startled)

(A total of 30 chickens are in 1 caldron.)

I have to fry 190 chickens.

(He has to repeat it 7 times.)

It's just there are a lot.

Frying isn't that hard.

(Deep-fried eggplant at the National Institute of Ecology)

(Shredded dried pollack fritters at the Maritime High School)

(After frying three times, he has become a master of frying.)

(His eyes track down the movement of the chickens.)

(He takes it out to check its color.)

Ta-da.

Ta-da.

(He checks three chickens at once.)

(Laughing)

(If they make him laugh just by seeing them,)

(that's the time to take them out.)

(Glorious)

(30 chickens are done.)

What are you doing to do with the chilis?

Chop them.

- How? - Into small pieces.

- Are they for the sauce? - Yes.

(A chicken sauce with Cheongyang chilis?)

(Instead of the common red sauce,)

(Paik intends to add...)

(spicy and sour cold salad sauce with lots of Cheongyang chilis.)

(The youngest Sseolae and Bo Hyun...)

(take care of the Cheongyang chilis in no time.)

I'll put the chilis here.

(He comes to look while the chickens are cooked.)

Don't we need to chop the red chilis?

(Kyoung Pyo goes in front of the red chilis.)

(He starts to chop them with a Chinese knife.)

(Carefully)

(Glancing)

(Approaching)

When you use a Chinese knife, you have to smack it down.

- Let's do this one. - Okay.

Put it over here.

Smack it down.

(Chopping while smacking it down like this)

- Gosh. You're good. - That's how...

(Chopping again)

(They separate the meat from the bones.)

Try it.

(Su Geun tries it.)

It won't be aired.

Gosh, Master.

It's sour, salty, spicy, and sweet.

It has all the flavors.

(A compound of flavors)

(Fryer Kyoung Pyo comes to take out the chickens.)

(Savoring)

(Surprised)

(I can't miss the chance to taste it.)

Me too.

It'll be great with rice. Gosh. It's so good.

(Super excited)

Master, I can't stop eating it.

Put it in my mouth.

(Taking a bite)

(Bouncing)

(Screaming)

Okay. I got it. The chicken is well-cooked too.

(He goes back to his chickens with satisfaction.)

(It's so good that it makes him lose the ability to speak.)

I love how spicy it is.

I love that it's spicy.

- Hey. Kyoung Pyo. - Yes?

You fried the chicken well.

- It's fried nicely, right? - Yes.

Great.

Great. Put all the chickens in it.

One, two, three, four,

five, and six.

(Add 130 more chickens. Burning with passion)

(Put the cold salad sauce in the tray.)

I should have observed how he made the sauce.

(It will be served with the chicken.)

(We will arrive at Daegu Station shortly.)

(Bo Hyun gives the youngest, who worked hard, a shower.)

Our youngest one.

What? He's good, right?

(It's getting love because it did a good job again today.)

(There are also 4 sisters here who are good at their work.)

(They have the same sharp eyes.)

(They are 4 KTX sisters!)

(Let me introduce my sisters to you.)

(The oldest KTX is 20 years old, born in 2004.)

(Though she is the oldest high-speed train in Korea,)

(they are all still active on duty.)

(The KTX 002 that was the first to operate)

(The biggest feature is its length!)

(It's the longest with a length of 388m.)

(The second oldest, KTX-Sancheon, 14 years old, born in 2010)

(The name came from its resemblance to the cheery salmon.)

(Korea's first high-speed train that was developed independently)

(To carry more people, it's also operated as a combined train.)

(Therefore, you might be unable to move between compartments,)

(so keep that in mind!)

(With Korea's first rotating seats,)

(it reduced the uncomfortable seats in a reverse direction.)

(The third sister is a 3-year-old KTX-Eum, born in 2021!)

(Eum means to connect a region with another.)

(It doesn't have stairs,)

(making it easy for the customers in a wheelchair to travel.)

(Compared to her sisters,)

(she's an eco-friendly train that only emits 70-percent of carbon.)

(Lastly, the golden, youngest sister is KTX-Cheongryong...)

(that started operating this May.)

(She is the fastest high-speed train in Korea.)

(With a maximum speed of 320km per hour,)

(it only takes 2 hours to reach Busan from Seoul!)

(She is a giant baby with the broadest isle.)

(She also comes with a USB-C type and wireless charger.)

(The four sisters run today while evolving every day!)

(Meanwhile, the Catering Crew is running fast...)

(for the tasty trip across the country.)

(Paik goes to find the next dish.)

(What Paik grabbed is...)

(tofu.)

(With this tofu,)

(which destination will he go to?)

(The second destination of the tasty trip across the country)

(Daejeon)

(Where both the Seoul-Busan Line and the Seoul-Mokpo Line pass)

(Daejeon)

(Daejeon Station)

(Daejeon's soul food)

(Tofu duruchigi)

(It's a spicy tofu dish you can only enjoy in Daejeon.)

(And the son of Chungcheong Province rolls his sleeves to make one.)

(Tofu duruchigi to Daejeon)

(A total of 180 servings)

(Actually, when you cook tofu duruchigi,)

(you cook about 3 to 4 servings at a time.)

(To make 180 servings, they have to cook 45 times.)

(Will it be possible?)

(To make tofu duruchigi, Paik grabs...)

(only one pot?)

(The pot is a little bigger with 60cm in diameter.)

(Will he make 180 servings of tofu duruchigi with one pot?)

(First, he preps tofu.)

(He cuts it into bite-sized pieces.)

(He cuts 1 carton of tofu.)

(He cuts 2 cartons of tofu.)

(He cuts 3 cartons of tofu.)

(He cuts 4 cartons of tofu.)

(Then he grabs the onion slices...)

(and puts them in the pot first.)

(Why does he lay down the onions first, instead of the tofu?)

(To prevent the tofu from burning and to add sweetness!)

(Pouring the tofu on top of the onions)

(Tofu duruchigi: Onions on the 1st floor)

(Tofu on the 2nd floor)

(Scallions on the 3rd floor)

(And more tofu on top of them?)

(Actually, this is Paik's strategy to cook 180 servings.)

(The pot is too small to spread out 180 servings.)

(But if you pile them up, it's a different story!)

(Paik's strategy: A tower of tofu duruchigi)

(A tower of tofu duruchigi)

(Tofu on the 4th floor)

(He didn't add the tofu all at once...)

(because it's hard to absorb the seasoning.)

(It's Paik's trick to layer them between other ingredients!)

(Paik goes to find the ingredient for the 5th floor.)

(Seafood mixture)

(The seafood mixture is on the 5th floor.)

(He's not done yet.)

(Tofu again)

(He puts 2 cartons of tofu. It's 7 cartons, 21kg, in total.)

(He puts 3 cartons of tofu. It's 8 cartons, 24kg, in total.)

(He puts the seafood mixture back on the 7th floor.)

(When he adds the scallions on the 8th floor,)

(the 8-story tofu duruchigi tower is complete.)

(He pushes the 8-story tofu duruchigi tower.)

(He plans to cook 180 servings in one pot.)

(Mustering up strength)

(Even Paik can't lift it.)

(The grandeur of the 8-story tofu duruchigi tower)

(It's about 40kg.)

(He successfully lifts it!)

(With veiny arms)

(His face has turned red.)

(With superhuman strength, he successfully puts it on the stove.)

(He fills up the water up until the middle so that it can boil.)

(Next, he adds soybean oil.)

(He adds enough grease just like the water.)

(Anchovy fish sauce, soy sauce)

(Adding 1 scoop of doenjang)

(Adding 2 scoops of doenjang)

(Adding 1 scoop of gochujang)

(Lastly, he adds the minced garlic.)

(Adding the seasoning for 180 servings with a ladle.)

(He covers it with the lid so that it can boil fast.)

(The tofu duruchigi is simmering.)

(Someone opens it.)

Paik, it's boiling right now.

(The seasoning has dissolved while it's come to a boil.)

Paik, it's a little...

(Is there a problem?)

It's overflowing.

(Bo Hyun turns down the heat first.)

Don't turn it down. Let it overflow.

Is it okay if it overflows?

(To boil it down quickly, there's no time to turn down the heat.)

Should I turn it up again?

(Switching)

(Going back to the highest heat)

- Is there a sieve? - A sieve?

Here it is.

(He cleans the sieve and delivers it.)

We can add it later.

- The heat needs to be high. - Shall I turn it up more?

(He braises tofu duruchigi over high heat.)

(Impressed)

(Impressed)

- Master, it smells so good. - It smells like seafood.

I added seafood. Of course, it smells like seafood.

I'll wrap up the tofu duruchigi.

(I'll wrap up the tofu duruchigi.)

(He adds coarse chili powder first.)

(Then he adds fine chili powder.)

- Is it for the color? - Yes.

It looks delicious.

(If the spicy flavor is ready)

- Bo Hyun, add the shrimp. - Okay.

(He rinsed the shrimp in advance.)

(It goes straight into the tofu duruchigi.)

Add all the shrimp.

(Shrimp makes the dish perfect.)

(He adds the remaining shrimp.)

(Then he mixes it in so that it gets cooked fully.)

(The tofu duruchigi is getting cooked.)

(After navigating the entire nation,)

(the trains became dirty.)

(Dirty)

(Did you know that KTX trains got washed?)

(It happens at the mechanical washing station.)

(It's the same as a car wash.)

(The parts that couldn't be cleaned in the washing station...)

(gets cleaned manually.)

(Let's check your appearance!)

(The interior gets cleaned too.)

(When the KTX trains finish checking their appearances)

What time is it?

We have enough time.

It's 10:25am.

(They have 1 hour and 35 minutes until serving.)

(There's a reason why Paik checked the time.)

(He needs to soak seaweed!)

(He bought Gijang seaweed at a mart.)

(Which destination will they reach with Gijang seaweed?)

(They struggle in the heat.)

(It's a destination for Maintenance Team.)

(The third destination of the tasty trip across the country)

(Busan)

(It's the final stop of the Seoul-Busan Line!)

(Busan)

(Busan Station)

(It's the city of the sea and port.)

(There's a precious ingredient that was served to the king.)

(Kyoung Pyo from 10 years ago)

(It's Gijang seaweed.)

(Cold soup will chase away the heat.)

(The specialty of Busan, Gijang seaweed will get added.)

(Cold seaweed cucumber soup)

(While Gijang seaweed gets soaked)

I think cucumbers keep growing.

(Kyeong Hwan is julienning 180 servings of cucumbers.)

It's the cucumber inferno.

(It's the cucumber inferno.)

Kyeong Hwan, please excuse me. I'm sorry.

What are you doing?

I'm frying chicken.

You moved up the ranks.

(Kyoung Pyo, you moved up the ranks.)

You still...

You still julienne cucumbers.

You still julienne cucumbers.

I'm jealous of him for frying chickens.

People who are at the bottom are preparing...

cucumbers and onions.

(You and me)

Why did I...

Why did I get demoted for no reason?

My incredible talent...

is being wasted on these cucumbers.

This won't do.

(He still slices the cucumbers diligently.)

I'm done with the cucumbers.

(Finally, he's about to escape the cucumber inferno.)

- Kyeong Hwan. - Yes?

Come here.

(My goodness)

- Wrap up and come here. - Okay.

(Will I get to cook a main dish?)

- Wrap up and come here. - Okay.

(Which task will Paik give him next?)

Squeeze water out of seaweed.

Okay.

Squeeze water out of seaweed and mince it on the cutting board.

- Okay. - Mince it for the seaweed soup.

Cucumbers.

(Still, he escaped the cucumber inferno!)

(He goes to prepare seaweed right away.)

Gijang seaweed.

It's a specialty of Busan, Gijang seaweed.

(He squeezes out the water with both hands.)

The seaweed smells nice.

I want to have a bowl of cold seaweed cucumber soup.

(He works quickly as he smells the seaweed.)

I'm done with seaweed.

(He finishes preparing the seaweed.)

(The sliced seaweed...)

(goes straight into the soup pot.)

(The sour vinegar that is twice as strong gets poured in.)

(A heap of minced garlic...)

(and chilis go in as well.)

(Korean soy sauce gets added.)

(He adds a tray of green onions.)

(Lastly, a big amount of cucumbers go in.)

(All the ingredients are in.)

(The dish that will chase away the heat,)

(cold seaweed cucumber soup, is complete.)

(It's tasty as it is, but Paik has a recommendation.)

Try it with some noodles.

(Try it with some noodles!)

(To the refreshing and sour cold seaweed cucumber soup,)

(thin noodles get added for texture.)

(It's like a cold noodle dish!)

(Yu Ri looks for thin noodles upon hearing Paik's instruction.)

(She gets thin noodles.)

It's best to cook a generous amount of thin noodles, right?

- Yes. - Okay.

(It's her first time making a big quantity of food,)

(but she cuts open the packages.)

(She cuts open the packages and gathers the noodles.)

(She is an experienced worker.)

(She gets cold water for rinsing the noodles.)

(She adds ice too.)

(She begins to cook the thin noodles.)

(She adds 90 servings of thin noodles.)

(Then Yu Ri stirs the noodles to cook them.)

You received an important task upon arrival.

(He has so much respect for her.)

(She's an experienced worker.)

(She grabs the sieve with both hands.)

(Heave-ho)

(She takes out the noodles by herself.)

(Checking the thin noodles in cold water)

I ruined them.

(A lump of thin noodles)

It doesn't work when I cook a big quantity at once.

That's right. It isn't easy.

It's a big quantity.

I can't cook them like I do at home.

(She gets rid of the lumped noodles.)

(Checking thoroughly)

(She stirs the remaining noodles so that they don't clump up.)

(Then she takes them out diligently.)

(This time, the thin noodles get separated cleanly.)

This is exhausting.

(But she does it once more.)

(She gathers her strength and cooks 180 servings of noodles.)

(Soo Geun and Kyoung Pyo removes water from the noodles.)

(Kyoung Pyo can't be seen.)

Done.

We need to remove excess water. Hold on.

(Like this?)

Where is it?

(Rocking)

Shall we put them in?

Go ahead.

(He adds the thin noodles he shook up.)

Let's do that one.

(He rocks the noodles once more.)

(My goodness)

(Thanks to Kyoung Pyo who removed the water with his entire body)

(Ta-da)

(The chewy thin noodles are done.)

(The noodles will be served with the soup...)

(so that people can eat them together.)

(The catering crew's Tasty Train is traveling around the nation.)

(The kitchen is here.)

(The Maintenance Complex is right next to it!)

(There are numerous trains...)

(and people who are focused on maintenance work.)

(When a train comes in after a trip)

(Opening the roof)

(They check and switch out various parts.)

(The railway axles get switched regularly too.)

(It's where various maintenance work gets done for a smooth trip.)

(What if a train needs a big operation?)

(The compartments get divided up.)

(The inside gets pulled out completely.)

(The motor and everything get switched.)

(A new motor)

(The motor and everything get switched.)

(Thus, there are over 10,000 parts that are needed for maintenance.)

(All of these are train parts.)

(Thanks to the automated system,)

(they can get the necessary parts in 1 to 2 minutes.)

(For those who work hard for the train trips,)

(we'll introduce the itinerary of the Tasty Train.)

(Daegu)

(Daegu-bound train)

(Fried chicken with salad: 80 percent)

(The fried chickens have been moved to trays.)

We need to make rice.

Master, don't we need to make rice?

(Thistle potato rice: 0 percent)

(Catering area, Gangneung)

(The Gangneung-bound train is running late.)

We need to make the rice...

as soon as that's ready.

(What's "That?")

Prepare the thistle.

The thistle?

(The last destination to the thistle)

(An herb that represents the Gangwon Province, thistle,)

(and potatoes go into this dish.)

(The last food destination, thistle potato rice)

Soak the thistle. It needs to be soaked.

I told you to prepare the thistle first.

All right.

(They forgot because they were so busy.)

Where's the thistle?

Thistle.

(Paik hurriedly looks for the thistle.)

Where did we put it?

Kyeong Hwan, where's the thistle?

- Did you bring everything? - Yes.

(Looking for thistle)

Where is it?

(No one knows where thistle went.)

(Yu Ri hurriedly searches for the thistle box.)

The thistle box isn't here. Where did it go?

Was there a thistle box?

Was there a thistle box?

- Yes. - There was a separate box.

Didn't I retrieve it?

(Didn't I retrieve it?)

The thistle box isn't here. Where did it go?

Was there a thistle box?

Was there a thistle box?

(The shocking truth)

(Thistle)

(She forgot about the thistle and returned to the kitchen.)

Kwon Yu Ri!

Kwon Yu Ri!

(Even the member Paik trusted, Yu Ri made a critical mistake.)

I don't know if we'll have enough time for the thistle.

(I don't know if we'll have enough time for the thistle.)

We won't have enough time to put it in the rice.

(Even if we retrieve it now...)

Why did you look for the thistle box here...

when you didn't bring it?

(Soaking it and adding it to the rice will take time.)

(It's impossible to make the thistle rice on time.)

(Still, rice is a must.)

(Paik calmly checks the menu.)

(He heads somewhere.)

(Potatoes)

Let's add potatoes to the rice.

- Really? - We don't have enough time...

- for thistle. - Really?

Let's think about what to do.

Okay.

- Yes. How should I cut them? - Dice them.

Dice them?

(Bo Hyun gets the potatoes.)

(He quickly prepares Sseolae.)

(The dicing mode is ready.)

(Thanks to the mechanical engineering major,)

(diced potatoes fill the container.)

- Once the potatoes are diced, - Okay.

divide them evenly and cook rice.

Okay.

(She adds another empty container.)

(Yu Ri gets the potatoes.)

(Kyoung Pyo assists with the soaked rice!)

Master, it's potato rice.

(He takes it to the serving station.)

- It's done. - Open it.

(How did the potato rice come out?)

(He carefully checks the potato rice.)

You can mix it. Mix it.

(Kyoung Pyo mixes the rice as Paik watches.)

(Potato rice came out well in time.)

(The Tasty Train arrived at all stations.)

(Daegu, Daejeon, Busan,)

(Jeonju, Gangneung)

(All the dishes are ready.)

Yu Ri.

Will you write down the menu?

It's because they're coming from both sides.

I'll serve this.

(The cold soup gets served by 2.)

It's a cold soup. It'll be nice and cold.

We have noodles too.

(In charge of the noodles, in charge of the cold soup)

Enjoy your meal.

I'll help you.

- Does this go on the chicken? - Yes.

It'll be too salty with too much. I'll help you.

(The serving goes smoothly thanks to the catering crew.)

Have a seat.

(The client took his seat.)

It looks delicious.

It's a grand meal.

I don't even know where to start.

(The generous meal makes you think about where to start.)

You should give it a try.

(He takes a sip of the cold seaweed cucumber soup first.)

Gosh.

(Impressed)

The cold soup is delicious.

It's refreshing.

(The client takes a bite of the noodles in the cold soup.)

(Impressed)

It's amazing.

(The cold seaweed cucumber soup is amazing.)

It's delicious as it's sour.

Those who don't like cucumbers will enjoy this too.

Potatoes are in season now.

It's potato rice.

(He takes a bite of the potato rice next.)

You should be familiar with this.

You must've had this in your hometown.

- I lived in Gangwon Province. - Right.

I had this a lot when I was young.

You should mix a lot of it here.

(He mixes it diligently with both hands.)

My gosh.

It's the potato rice that brings back memories.

(A spoon of Paik's sauce to the familiar taste)

(Gangwon Province's potato rice)

(Mixing)

(What will be tried next after the rice?)

This is what you have in Daegu.

(It's the chicken.)

It's fried like this in Daegu.

(The Daegu-style chicken that was fried well...)

(meets Paik's cold chicken salad sauce.)

(How will the Maintenance Workshop staff members react to it?)

(It gets torn so it can get eaten nicely.)

(Taking a bite)

(He devours it without stopping.)

How was this made?

It was just a short amount of time.

(For the deliciously cooked chicken,)

(Fryer Kyoung Pyo worked hard.)

(Fried chicken tastes best when it's torn.)

(Chewing)

(He cleanly debones it.)

A bottle of beer would be perfect with this.

(Laughing)

(A magical taste that calls for beer!)

(He takes a piece of the fried chicken too...)

(and he attempts to use his chopsticks.)

(He ends up using his mouth to tear off the meat.)

- The sauce is good. - Sorry? Right.

The cold chicken salad sauce.

(After tearing off the meat from both sides,)

(he dips it in the sauce.)

(It goes straight into his mouth!)

(He cleans away the traces of him enjoying it.)

- This sauce is good. - Right.

(He also dips it in the sauce.)

(He diligently chews on it.)

(He tries just the sauce separately.)

(He clears it with just the bones left.)

(The staff members have fallen into Paik's cold chicken salad sauce.)

(It's good as it is, but it's even better with the sauce.)

(The Maintenance Workshop members are in love with fried chicken.)

(He carries on even with the sauce on his lips.)

(He eats everything including the sauce on his fingers.)

(While everyone is into the fried chicken,)

(the client checks something on his phone.)

But...

there's a bit of an issue on the main line.

(Issues can be found from afar with the KTX.)

(The train's underbody or the roof)

(The main parts all have sensors.)

(Whenever an issue occurs while driving...)

(or when an important part gets an issue,)

(it can be checked real-time with the sensor.)

It's the K37.

(He checks with the mobile app while eating.)

An error code must've occurred while moving on the main line.

The train will be sent to us.

We'll have to check later for issues.

(A train with an issue gets sent straight to the workshop.)

I think we'll have to deal with it in advance.

Was it because the AC was turned on in full power?

Did that occur again?

We'll have to analyze the detailed error code...

and figure it out.

(The seniors are eating while talking about work.)

The skin is really crispy too.

(Meanwhile, the juniors...)

(He gets a piece of the tofu from the tofu duruchigi.)

(He takes another bite with the seafood.)

You didn't get any of this? It's good.

- It's good? - Yes.

(The dish that this staff member is enjoying)

(Daejeon's representative dish)

(Tofu duruchigi)

(Another staff member goes only for the tofu duruchigi.)

The tofu...

tastes different, unlike the usual braised tofu.

There are mussels too.

(The tofu duruchigi tastes special with the regular tofu.)

It has that taste in general.

(He puts the shrimp on top of the rice.)

(The tofu goes straight into his mouth.)

I barely eat tofu,

but this is nice and salty.

What was the name of this?

The tofu...

There's shrimp too.

(He got curious of the name while eating it.)

(It has a generous amount of seafood in it.)

(It's the duruchigi.)

- Enjoy your meal. - Enjoy your meal.

Enjoy your meal.

(The serving is going smoothly.)

Thank you.

Enjoy your meal.

(She places a generous amount of the duruchigi on the chicken.)

You're serving yourself without hesitation. That's great.

- Thank you for the meal. - Enjoy your meal.

Enjoy your meal.

(The tofu duruchigi tray becomes empty.)

The tofu.

(Someone appears at that moment.)

I'll get a new tray.

Please wait for just a moment.

(While Bo Hyun goes to refill the tofu duruchigi...)

You should wait. You should try the tofu as it's good.

Which department are you in?

I'm on the Placement Test Team.

- Test? - Yes.

What kind of test is it?

- It's after the maintenance test. - We check the train.

You check the KTX trains?

Yes.

Just a moment, please.

(Bo Hyun completes refilling the tofu duruchigi.)

It's good on top of the rice...

and it's also good separately.

The fried chicken needs to be sent out again.

The fried chicken.

(A book of a boy and girl)

(The chicken is here)

(The chicken is fried)

(You know)

(Excited Kyoung Pyo refills the fried chicken.)

(He also excitedly refills the potato rice.)

Enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

Enjoy your meal.

(The serving train moves smoothly once again.)

(Meanwhile, Bo Hyun...)

Is it okay? Really?

Eat as much as you can.

- Thank you. - What do you like the best?

I like the fried chicken the best.

The fried chicken? Kyoung Pyo fried them.

Kyoung Pyo did it all by himself.

What else?

- What did you make? - I made a variety of things.

- I like what you made. - Thank you.

You enjoyed the things I made? Thank you.

Enjoy your meal.

(He heads back after scouting the area.)

She prepared an acrostic poem for you.

You prepared an acrostic poem?

With the name of the show?

- No. With Ahn Bo Hyun. - My name?

I'll say it out for you. Ahn.

Hello.

Bo.

I wanted to see you.

(Laughing)

Hyun.

Is this real?

Is this real?

(Do you want to find out?)

My goodness.

(Surprised)

(The unreal being approaches her.)

(A high five)

Eat up. Thank you.

Eat up. Eat one more chicken.

(Amazed)

I should hold Chae Yeon's hand.

(I should hold Chae Yeon's hand.)

(Going back to eating)

What is this?

- Later... - Is it meat?

Yes.

It's delicious.

(The meat they're eating with bean sprouts...)

(is the minced meat filling of bean sprout japchae!)

(It is Paik's bean sprout japchae recipe.)

(Stir-fry garlic and scallion in oil.)

(Add minced meat on top of them.)

(Add some sugar too.)

(Soy sauce and dark soy sauce)

(Add lots of onions and carrots.)

(The bean sprout japchae filling is complete!)

(Minced meat filling added...)

(to crunchy bean sprouts for two different textures)

(Paik's bean sprout japchae)

(Is it delicious?)

(It is!)

(Bean sprout japchae has been proven to be good)

(Let me try it too then.)

Bean sprouts are delicious.

(Bean sprout japchae is delicious!)

(Humming)

I hope they come every day.

Let's take Jong Won to our home.

(Nodding)

(Another table also tries bean sprout japchae.)

Bean sprouts taste good like this.

I normally don't eat bean sprouts when restaurants serve them.

I skip bean sprouts.

- Bean sprouts are delicious? - They're delicious.

(The employee who didn't like bean sprouts...)

(Scraping)

(She gathers the remaining pieces of bean sprout japchae...)

(and finishes them in one bite.)

(Bean sprouts turn from a common dish...)

(to a special dish thanks to Paik.)

(Would you like a mouthful of bean sprout japchae?)

Why don't you try this? It's really good.

Sprinkle it on top.

It tastes good with a lot of sauce.

It tastes good.

Enjoy the food.

(Staring)

Yu Ri is so pretty.

She's Girls’ Generation.

- Her features stand out so much. - Exactly.

- Her face is so small, but... - Ga Yeong, you might not know,

but she was a legend during my time.

I know too.

Ga Yeong,

how old were you when you found out about Girls’ Generation?

I was in my elementary school.

- "PARTY?" "Gee?" - "Gee?"

Was that in 2008?

I was in eighth grade in 2008.

You were a toddler back then.

(Calculating again)

No, I was in kindergarten.

(She was presumably born in 2003.)

(A spoonful of cold seaweed cucumber soup)

- It was really hot today. - I know, right?

I think the rainy season is over.

I sweated so much when I was working just now.

The biggest downside of working here...

is that I can't hear well.

(They agree strongly.)

- You can't hear what others say? - No, I can't hear them.

(They agree strongly.)

(Because they disassemble the trains...)

(and perform various types of maintenance,)

(they must always wear a safety helmet and safety clothes.)

(They hear loud roaring sounds as they work.)

(They must withstand the heat 365 days a year.)

(About 8 percent of the mechanics are females.)

(They are also female mechanics.)

One good thing was that it was Mountains and Streams FGI.

- Why? Because it's short? - Yes.

(KTX-Mountains and Streams is 201m, half the length of the original KTX)

(The maintenance was much better due to the relatively short length)

(Since many of them work in the heat,)

(Slurping)

(cold seaweed cucumber soup is pretty popular.)

(Drinking from the bowl)

Enjoy.

It has noodles inside, and it's very cold.

Try cold seaweed cucumber soup. Enjoy.

It's delicious. Enjoy.

Enjoy the food.

(This employee taking cold seaweed cucumber soup)

(During the preference survey,)

(he said he wanted cold naengmyeon!)

(Instead of naengmyeon,)

(they prepared cold seaweed cucumber soup)

I normally don't eat cucumber.

(But he doesn't like cucumbers.)

(The employee who doesn't like cucumbers...)

(but wanted something cold...)

(tries the soup carefully.)

(Tingling)

(He makes up his mind and tries the cucumber too.)

(Humming)

(Nodding)

(Taking another bite right after)

(Satisfied)

(Sucking on his chopsticks)

(Laughing)

But it's delicious.

(The third bite of cucumber)

(Cold seaweed cucumber soup captures the heart...)

(of a cucumber-hater.)

(Nodding)

(Your teeth might ache from the cold just from looking at it.)

(A mouthful of crunchiness, sourness, and coldness)

(Beat the heat with cold seaweed cucumber soup!)

It's cold and nice.

(Another fun part of cold seaweed cucumber soup...)

(is the thin noodles!)

(Humming)

(They added thin noodles...)

(into cold seaweed cucumber soup!)

(Second mouthful of noodles)

(Third mouthful of noodles)

(Slurping)

(The fourth and the final mouthful of noodles)

(He finishes the thin noodles.)

It sure is a delicacy.

They never served food like this in the cafeteria before.

(They eat Paik's regional representative dishes...)

(and are maintaining their bodies and minds...)

(that are exhausted from the heat.)

- That was good food. - I need to go back to work again.

Let's go quickly.

(The employees undergo maintenance with the food.)

(They recharge well and go back to work.)

(Thank you for the food.)

- You worked hard. - You worked hard. I'll do it.

You worked hard.

You worked hard.

I'm hungry.

I want to mix rice with braised tofu.

There won't be any leftover tofu, right?

Kyeong Hwan.

(He immediately brings the bit that was still left.)

- What is this? Goodness. - Yes!

(He mixes rice with tofu duruchigi and takes a bite.)

It's delicious.

It tastes awesome with tofu.

(It tastes awesome with tofu.)

You must've been very hungry.

In front of a trash can.

(Yu Ri, who cooked a big bulk of food well, eats a cucumber.)

Eat it with tofu.

Radish!

- It's a bit salty with radish. - Put it in my mouth.

(Putting it in his own mouth)

(Amazed)

It's insane.

I could lose my mind over it.

It's insanely good.

(Don't lose your mind)

It's so delicious.

Come here and put this in your mouth.

No, it's not spicy at all.

(Bo Hyun takes a big bite too!)

It's so delicious.

(To the Catering Crew worked hard today too)

(Lift up your spoons and make some noise!)

(Backpacker Chef's Tasty Train)

(It operated safely today too.)

(This year is the 20th year...)

(whereby the express train became the nation's feet.)

I am in High Speed Vehicle Operation Department's...

Maintenance Team of MTVMW.

I am Choi Woo Hyun, working here for three years.

I joined in 2018.

I've been working for 21 years.

It's been 38 years since I joined this company.

(For 3, 7, 21, and 38 years,)

(they have protected the railway.)

Safety comes first.

It is evident that the trains are safe.

(They always put the safety of the customers first.)

You can relax and ride it.

(You can relax and ride it.)

(The trains leave to travel across the country.)

(Please become the nation's feet for a long time.)

Thank you for your hard work.

(The Catering Crew worked hard to operate the Tasty Train.)

How was it?

- It was really fun. - But...

clearly, you could see how experienced she was.

She helped me out from my side...

when I already put it in.

Until now, I fought alone, so I had to do everything myself.

- What do you mean alone? - Even the seafood...

I suddenly feel very upset.

- No. - I feel upset.

I put in all the seafood,

but she asked if I needed help. She assisted me well.

She was such a strong ally.

This is a thrilling place.

Today was enough for me.

It was enough.

- I think you're good. Come again. - It was enough.

How was it compared to "The Genius Paik?"

It was enough.

- I'll stop here. - I see.

Goodness.

Goodness, no, today...

Let's go to the catering area.

The only thing you can think of is food.

"The time is 12pm, the number of people is 100."

"Rainstorm, don't come."

"The taste goes through fire and water."

"The number of people that drink is 3.5 million."

"The number of people that drink."

(The number of people that drink?)

I think it's this.

Of course.

(The number of people that drink is 3.5 million?)

(Where on earth is it?)

(Did you know?)

(The Paik Jong Won legend...)

(started with a ssambap restaurant!)

(Jong Won's fundamental, Jong Won's ssambap restaurant)

(Congratulations on opening a new restaurant.)

(They are in charge of Seoul's drinking water.)

It's huge.

(At Arisu Water Purification Center)

(With the menus that are hot and cold,)

(they will treat them coldly and hotly.)

(With Kyu Hyun, shredded dried squid junior,)

(the ssambap master opens the restaurant grimly.)

(That's not a bad idea.)

(No.)

(Nobody can suggest any idea.)

(Kyoung Pyo, step aside!)

(I was stepped aside.)

(Nobody can stop him.)

(The kitchen is most relaxed under the ssambap master's lead.)

(The kitchen is most relaxed under the ssambap master's lead.)

(Then...)

What?

(I didn't cook rice!)

(The popular ssambap restaurant let its guard down.)

Kyu Hyun!

(Will they mess up like this?)
