(filled with laughter.)

(There is so much time that Kyoung Pyo does the dishes.)

(Where citizens take a walk early in the morning)

(Where birds are flying freely)

(Han River)

You can catch a lot of fish here.

(The catering crew gathered in front of the Han River.)

It's the bicycle track.

Doesn't it lead to Jamsil?

- It goes all the way to Yangpyeong. - Right.

You can catch a lot of fish here.

Today, you will be cooking with water...

that you see behind you.

What?

With water from the river?

Are we making food with this?

(Are we making food with this water?)

(Water from the Han River behind the catering crew)

(The water became muddy due to the monsoon.)

(Are we cooking with this water?)

(Let's pause here.)

(Based on the request form that they received last time)

"Rainy season, typhoon, stay away."

"Taste that goes through fire and water."

"Number of people for drinking water is 3.5 million."

(The number of people is 3.5 million?)

- What? - What?

"Number of people for drinking water."

What is 3.5 million people referring to?

(What is the number referring to?)

It must be...

When I looked up 3.5 million people,

it's the number of vaccinated people in the UK.

In the UK?

The population of the northern Gyeonggi Province is...

also 3.5 million.

- Northern Gyeonggi Province? - Yes.

Is the number of people...

who visit Hangang Park in a year 3.5 million?

(They made many guesses.)

- Let's go. - The weather is nice and cool.

The weather is amazing today.

(Where is the place with 3.5 million people drinking water?)

Look.

- You startled me. - Who is it?

You startled me.

(Is there someone inside the backpack-car?)

- Hello. - I was wondering why...

- You... - the car engine was on.

(Who could it be?)

(The person who surprised the catering crew)

(Kyu Hyun of Super Junior)

- Hello. - Kyu Hyun.

I was wondering why the car engine was on.

(Kyu Hyun of Super Junior)

(The youngest member of Super Junior with 20 years as an idol singer)

(He's also active as a musical actor.)

(Everyone knows that he loves cooking.)

(He's also worked at a restaurant.)

(He was hiding secretly in the backpack-car.)

You brat.

- You should've told me. - Paik.

- Why didn't you tell me? - I wanted to surprise you.

- Hello. - Hello.

Kyoung Pyo was startled.

I was really startled.

(He meets everyone including Su Geun.)

- Kyu Hyun... - I waited a long time.

I waited 30 minutes.

(He had been waiting for the catering crew for 30 minutes.)

(Yawning)

(The catering crew members started to arrive.)

(He notices Kyoung Pyo approaching with luggage.)

(Locking the door)

(Extremely wary)

(He also locks the door on the other side.)

He made me nervous for nothing.

(Kyoung Pyo has no idea.)

(Fighting a lonely battle)

That was close.

(Locking the door numerous times)

(He waited for the catering crew with anticipation.)

(Laughing awkwardly)

- All right. - It's good to see you.

The vibe isn't great.

(It's lukewarm because they're so close.)

Let's talk inside the car.

- Okay. - Inside the car?

(They set off with a reliable supporter.)

I didn't know that you started so early.

(Towards the mysterious catering area)

(As they keep driving,)

(they almost arrive at the destination.)

This must be it.

(Where exactly?)

- We're here. - What's this?

(Is the catering area finally uncovered?)

(They're asked to come to a stop.)

- Hello, sir. - What brings you here?

We're here to serve food.

My colleague will take a look...

at the bottom of your vehicle with a reflector.

- Okay. - Your IDs, please.

Give me your IDs.

(He brings out a reflector.)

(Thoroughly inspecting the bottom of the backpack-car with a mirror)

(The barbed wire fence surrounds the building.)

It's very strict.

This is why.

Poison inside a national institution would...

- cause a huge problem. - If we do something wrong,

we'll be in huge trouble.

(Poison?)

(There is strict security because it can be dangerous.)

(What is today's catering area?)

You can find your way...

according to the map.

Please hang this around your neck.

- Thank you. - Have a good day.

Thank you.

(They enter after the inspection.)

(Green)

(The inside is like a thick forest.)

Overall, it's very clean.

I know. It's beautiful.

They keep the vicinity very clean.

My eyes feel cleansed.

(It's time to cleanse the eyes for a moment.)

(And...)

(the road never ends.)

- Which number is it? - It's enormous.

(They get more and more curious about the catering area.)

It's huge.

There's someone waving at us. Isn't it him?

- He must be our client. - Yes.

(They wave back at him.)

Thank you for driving.

(They get out of the car in a good mood.)

- Two, three. - Three.

- Who ordered Paik Jong Won? - Who ordered Paik Jong Won?

I ordered him.

(Today's client is him with a cheerful voice.)

- Hello. Nice to meet you. - Hello.

I work in the purification department...

at Gangbuk Arisu Water Purification Center.

I'm Action Officer Lee Seung Yeol.

(The location is finally revealed.)

(Today's catering area)

(The place where water is purified)

(Arisu Water Purification Center in Seoul)

The source of our tap water comes from the Han River.

I see.

That's why we went to see the Han River.

Yes.

- We were there a moment ago. - Yes.

The water gets supplied from there.

What could be the use of that?

(15 minutes ago, the members met in front of the Han River.)

(Actually, it's the entrance...)

(where the water enters the Arisu Center.)

It's where all the water comes in in the north of the Han River.

(Yes, tap water used in Seoul is...)

(purified water from the Han River.)

(Natural water that isn't very clear)

(In order to make it clean enough for cooking)

(At this place)

(How is the Han River water purified?)

(Today, we will reveal the purification secret in detail.)

At Gangbuk Arisu Water Purification Center,

we produce one million tons of tap water per day.

- One million tons? - We supply it to 3.5 million...

- in Seoul Gangbuk area. - In the Gangbuk area?

We supply tap water to 3.5 million people in the Gangbuk area.

(Catering Request Form)

(The secret to the number of people in the request form)

(Number of people for drinking water: 3.5 million)

I used to live in the Gangbuk area.

- Really? - Yes.

- Where did you live? - I lived in Nowon.

We supply tap water to Nowon.

- Right? - Yes.

- Congratulations. - Thank you for the water.

- You came to the right place. - That must have been nice.

I enjoyed the water.

Here's an awkward question for you.

Viewers might be curious about this.

We don't need to use a water purifier, do we?

- No. - Right?

Do you know what the water purifier filter is made out of?

Charcoal.

Yes, and there's also activated carbon.

(Correct!)

We also have activated carbon here.

In other words,

this place is a big water purifier.

(The center is a big water purifier.)

Did you see the lawn on your way here?

- Yes. - It's not just a place...

for the employees' welfare.

Part of our water purification system is located under the lawn.

(The entire basement is water purification and storage facility.)

Would you like to see our water purification process...

- in general? - Sure.

(From water in the Han River...)

(to becoming tap water)

(Our tap water purifier has...)

(a total of 8 water purification steps.)

(It can be divided into two main processes:)

(1. Letting it sink, 2. Filtering)

(The process of letting it sink takes place first.)

Something is moving underneath us.

The machine keeps moving...

- like a windmill. - It's filtering the water.

Head.

(Water pulled from the Han River to the center)

(Chemicals are added to the water.)

(The place where chemicals are added isn't open to public.)

(The water is mixed with paddles.)

- They keep moving. - Pardon?

They keep moving.

It's to mix the chemicals with impurities...

to form lumps.

(When chemicals are added to the dirty water)

(Chemicals)

(Impurities in the water form big lumps.)

(Lumps of impurities are separated from the water.)

(I see.)

We can't drink this yet, right?

- Drinking this can be dangerous. - It looks dangerous.

- Are you thirsty? - No.

(When lumps of impurities become big and heavy enough)

From the previous step, it enters the precipitating state.

- They're sinking. - Yes.

- Do you see the lumps? - Yes.

(It's hard to see from here,)

(but the lumps of impurities are sinking slowly.)

(Only clean water remains on top.)

Look, the water became clean.

- You're right. - The water became clean.

That's amazing.

You can see the reflection.

(The water is clean enough to reflect the sky.)

(It's so clean.)

We still can't drink it, right?

No, it'd be dangerous.

Do you want to make a bet?

No way.

There are still impurities...

floating in the water.

(2. Filtering)

(Elevated water purification starts.)

(In order to remove the remaining impurities)

(It's moved to a 1.2m sand water tank.)

(All of this is sand.)

(Only the clean water that passes through the sand...)

(gets moved to the next step.)

(Remaining viruses and bacteria are removed with ozone sterilization.)

(Lastly, activated carbon that's highly adhesive comes in.)

(Through a huge charcoal filter that's 2.9 meters long)

(When the last remaining odor is removed,)

(the muddy water from the Han River...)

(becomes purified and clean like this.)

May I ask you a question?

As long as it isn't so hard.

The water that has been processed...

(Turbidity of clean tap water)

is about 0.06 NTU.

- Okay. - Okay.

What is the turbidity of water in the Han River?

May I ask you a question?

As long as it isn't so hard.

The water that has been processed...

(Turbidity of clean tap water)

is about 0.06 NTU.

- Okay. - Okay.

What is the turbidity of water in the Han River?

Is it 5.0?

No, isn't it 0.8?

No.

It's about 9 NTS.

- Gosh. - My answer was the closest.

- It's about 9 NTS. - Then how murky is it?

It's considered quite low during the rainy season.

During the rainy season,

the turbidity can go up to 100, 500, and even 1,000.

Especially after a typhoon.

- Thousand? - Yes.

They lower it to 0.09.

- No, it's 0.05. - That's incredible.

There's a heavy gush of muddy water from the mountain.

(The Han River turns muddy.)

(They adjust the types of chemicals and concentration all the time...)

(to purify the water all the way down to 0.05.)

Is that why you wrote "rain, stay away?"

in the request form?

- You're right. - I read "rainy season, stay away."

You're right.

It rains a lot these days.

Yes, right now is the busiest season for us.

(They're the busiest during the rainy season like now.)

(Han River that looks romantic to us)

I think of it as my work.

Not just me. My employees are also...

crazy about water.

(Water Purification Department)

(They think about water all day long.)

(They work hard to provide tap water of good quality.)

(What is today's request that they're asking?)

For my employees who are crazy about water,

I'd like to treat them to Master Paik's fiery cooking.

That's why I made the request.

Please make food by combining his fiery cooking...

and water from our Arisu Center.

(That's how today's request was made.)

(Taste that Goes Through Fire and Water)

(Under the sky)

(There are two flavors that cannot be mixed.)

(Fire, water)

(Today, the catering crew must...)

(combine the taste of clean water...)

(and the fiery and smoky flavor.)

It's a performance.

(The Backpacker Chef's specialty, the fiery taste...)

(and clean water to create harmony)

(Today's request: A perfect combination of water and fire)

- We should go to the kitchen. - Can we take a look...

- It's the most important. - It's in the main building.

(They move to the main building where the kitchen is.)

(Healthy and Delicious Seoul Tap Water, Arisu)

This is the main building. The offices are on the first floor.

(Today's cafeteria is located in the basement.)

This is the cafeteria for the employees.

It's much smaller than I thought.

- Isn't it? - It doesn't look big.

This is the kitchen.

For now...

(A small cafeteria)

Gosh, the kitchen is small.

It's not spacious.

(The kitchen is in one space.)

There isn't much.

We have to buy everything today.

Gosh.

(It won't be easy either today.)

- Let's discuss the menu. - Okay.

(Choosing the menu is urgent.)

Su Geun went...

upstairs.

He's asking for their opinions on the menu.

(At the same time, Su Geun...)

- Hello, sir. - Gosh, hello.

- Did you work all night? - Yes.

(He came alone to ask what they'd like to eat.)

- Shouldn't I talk softly? - It's okay.

Hello, sir. You're working hard.

We came to make you delicious food.

(Where Su Geun came)

(Central Control Room where the tap water quality is checked...)

(and managed constantly)

(In operation 24 hours without a break)

What time do you start work?

I started work at 6pm yesterday.

At 6pm? But now is...

We work from 6pm to 9am the next day.

- How long do you work? - We work 15 hours.

You guys are impressive.

(They also have to supply tap water at night.)

Now I feel more determined to do something for them.

What would you like to eat? You worked all night.

Since it's summer, something that will make me sweat.

- Something spicy? - Something spicy.

What about the MZers?

Aren't you MZers?

Am I wrong? What would you like to eat today?

- Jjamppong. - Jjamppong? What else?

- I'd like crispy bulgogi. - Pardon?

- Crispy bulgogi. - Crispy bulgogi?

- How about you? - Spicy stir-fried spicy pork.

I'll share what you said with Master Paik.

Thank you.

(We will consider your opinions.)

They worked all night here.

They work 15 hours.

- Master. - Yes?

- I was in the control room. - Come over.

They work 15 hours a day.

What?

(15 hours?)

Gosh.

One of them wanted crispy bulgogi.

You know a spicy meat dish?

One of them wanted something spicy enough to make him sweat.

- Something spicy? - They work all night.

We'll definitely need meat.

(The employees would like spicy meat dishes.)

(Paik listens quietly.)

(Spicy meat dishes?)

How about this?

We will...

stir-fry the pork with spicy sauce...

and add a smoky flavor with a torch.

- Smoky... - Yes?

seared bulgogi.

(Smoky seared bulgogi)

That sounds delicious.

(Fire or water, by any means necessary)

(Representing fire)

(Spicy and smoky)

(Today's main dish is seared bulgogi.)

It can't be eaten alone, so we'll serve lettuce.

We'll have that as a side dish.

What I hate the most...

is when lettuce takes up space on the food tray.

("I hate seeing lettuce take up space on the food tray" by Paik)

(They deeply relate.)

Absolutely.

I'd rather have a basket of lettuce...

sitting in the middle of the table.

I can see ourselves washing the lettuce.

(His future is predictable.)

(The crew has been forgetting something.)

(When it comes to lettuce wraps, he has an ironclad rule.)

(A mouthful)

(Before he owned a Chinese restaurant)

(He used to own a famous ssambap restaurant.)

Of course, they should have as much vegetables as they want,

but a lot should be served from the get-go...

so that they start off happy.

(An ironclad rule of his that never changes)

Give them easy access to the lettuce.

(A smoky ssambap restaurant will be opened.)

Chicory greens will be served with the lettuce.

Lettuce and green chili.

(A generous ssam combo of lettuce, green chili, and chicory greens)

How about a dip for the green chili?

- We need to make ssamjang. - Yes, ssamjang.

What do you say to seafood ssamjang?

With freshwater snail?

Ssambap with freshwater snails sounds good.

Ssamjang with freshwater snails.

- Lettuce isn't a countable dish. - Green chili.

Don't we need a soup?

(They need a refreshing dish that tastes of water.)

A refreshing dish of acorn jelly rice.

Acorn jelly rice?

(Acorn jelly rice!)

Water, fire, water, fire.

We could make acorn jelly rice...

and have the ice...

It'll be refreshing for them.

(Made with their secret weapon)

(Representing the taste of water)

(Stimulates appetite with its sourness)

(They decide on the watery acorn jelly rice.)

(The items on today's menu they decided on)

(A collection of items that are like water and fire)

We need to shop for a lot.

The experience last time taught me...

that not everyone had to go grocery shopping.

That's right. We'll divide and conquer.

All right. Who'll stay back?

(Let's decide who'll stay back and prep.)

You should decide for us.

Why are you avoiding my gaze?

It'll be better if you decide for us.

- I'm just reading this. - What happens if you stay back?

It's not all that good.

(Experience tells me that it's not good.)

Let's draw names.

(Nothing beats drawing names for something like this.)

- Short or long. - It'll be an honest game.

- All right. Su Geun, go ahead. - Sure.

(What did he pull?)

It's short.

Drawing the short one means you win.

(No, it means you lose.)

(Su Geun and Kyeong Hwan will stay back and prep.)

- Su Geun, listen up. - Sure thing.

Peel the onions and have them washed.

- Sorry? - Wash the chicory greens.

Boil eggs and peel them.

Peel the radishes and shred them.

Master Paik, I'm sorry to ask,

but aren't you coming back?

Why are you giving us so many tasks?

You'll be shocked when you get back.

(Do them all.)

Let's go.

(The others will raid the supermarket...)

(for the water and fire inspired lunch.)

(They energetically begin to shop for 100 people.)

Can I place an order for some meat?

I'll take 30kg of pork shoulder and pork ham combined...

that have been thinly sliced.

- What about the acorn jelly? - We should buy that.

How much do we need?

One pack is for six people. Ten of them...

is enough for 60 people. No, wait. Whatever.

- We need 20 of them. - Yes, 20.

Yes, 20 packs will do.

(At least Muscle Man Kyoung Pyo can lift heavy.)

(40kg of acorn jelly for acorn jelly rice)

There's red lettuce and green lettuce.

- No way. - Green lettuce is tastier.

It's 84 dollars.

(My gosh, 84 dollars!)

How come lettuce is this expensive?

What can we do though?

- Just a box? - Yes.

(The boss is crazy about ssam.)

Buy crunchy chili.

- Sure. The big ones? - Yes.

How many will be served per person?

About two.

Two or three.

(3 per person)

We need at least 300 of them.

(300 of them?)

(300 chilies for the lettuce wrap)

Did you get 300 chilies?

- Do you have freshwater snails? - Yes, 300.

(He can't help but laugh.)

We really need this much?

- Have you cooked this much before? - No.

(I haven't.)

It's always cheaper to buy in bulk.

Gosh, it's a lot.

It's a lot.

I think we have everything.

Peekaboo.

(Peekaboo)

(While the shoppers load the backpack-car)

It's peaceful here.

The radish.

Where should we boil the eggs?

(The comedian duo)

(They start by boiling the eggs.)

Being alone with you...

- makes it feel like Comedy Central. - Tell me about it.

- We could probably do it ourselves. - Right.

It'll be fun to have comedians come together and cook.

Of course.

It'll be fun.

- That came to mind. - There will be endless chatter.

How about Heo-Geun's Diner?

Kyeong and Su's.

We need to open a restaurant.

- That's right. - Heo-Geun's Diner.

(What's more pressing though...)

What do we need the eggs for?

(There's no chef on this team.)

(Until next time)

Are we serving a boiled egg for everyone?

(Until next time)

We should at least know why we're prepping this.

There's stir-fried pork...

and bulgogi.

Acorn jelly rice.

Is there egg in acorn jelly rice? There's not.

Eggs don't go in acorn jelly rice.

(A boiled egg will be served with today's acorn jelly rice.)

(The competent but passive workers have a lot of questions.)

We're boiling the eggs.

(The eggs are ready to be boiled.)

The radish smells good.

(Even his forearms are at work.)

(There's one issue.)

Prepping is all the work.

(Shredding a whole radish)

(1 minute goes by)

(2 minutes go by)

There's a lot to do.

This will hardly work.

The work is brutal.

(It took about 4 minutes to shred one radish.)

(It'll take him 40 minutes to shred all 10 of them.)

(He'll be shredding the radish until the others get back.)

(While his forearm was being overworked...)

(Glancing)

Hold on. Should I give it a try?

I wouldn't, but you go ahead.

(What caught the attention of the passive Kyeong Hwan?)

I'll give it a try.

(What caught the attention of the passive Kyeong Hwan?)

(While his forearm was being overworked...)

(Glancing)

Hold on. Should I give it a try?

I wouldn't, but you go ahead.

(What caught the attention of the passive Kyeong Hwan?)

- I'll give it a try. - Wasn't it Seonhae?

Didn't she have a name?

(It's Sseolae.)

Yes, Sseolae. That's right.

Paik Sseolae.

But that belongs to Bo Hyun.

(But that belongs to Bo Hyun.)

Try using Sseolae.

Can it be done with Sseolae?

If this works, I'll shred them in no time.

(He'll try to use Sseolae.)

(With confidence and determination)

(He places a block of radish at the entrance.)

(Pressing over and over again)

Why won't this work?

It should make a noise.

I don't hear the machine running.

Shred it with manual labor if you can't operate it.

This is bringing out my relentless side.

(Calmly and slowly, he gives it another try.)

(Pressing over and over again)

(Rotate)

(Pressing over and over again)

(Rotate)

(Sseolae won't react no matter what he does.)

How to use it...

(Someone should've taught me.)

This is because he only uses it for himself.

This wouldn't have taken long had Bo Hyun stayed behind.

Okay.

I'm doing this.

Master Paik praised you for your chopping skills.

(Looking up how to use Sseolae)

This is the missing part!

(He adds on the part as if he has discovered something huge.)

I'd hate to see...

Bo Hyun operating this the second he gets back.

You've got to be kidding me.

You would've been done if you had just shredded them.

(The cameraman gives up.)

I got it.

(The cameraman comes back.)

(No, you didn't get it.)

Why isn't it working?

(The youngest, do you discriminate?)

I did it right.

Is it because I didn't put the radish in?

(Chopping)

(Screaming)

I did it.

(The passive one with determination)

- Good job. - Okay!

(Truly happy)

It's game over now.

Now, you can do it without Bo Hyun.

I know. He doesn't have to come.

(Kyeong Hwan has become a top-level talent who works the machine.)

(He slices 1 radish in just 30 seconds.)

A man needs to learn to use tools.

How is this possible?

(Laughing)

(He's going crazy by the joy of using it for the first time.)

Cooking is no game

It's all about the machine

Prepping is made easy...

with Sseolae.

(Sprinkling salt over the radish slices)

(He mixes them well to pickle them thoroughly.)

(The chicory greens are washed too.)

They are all done. I cleaned them leaf by leaf.

It's done! That was quick.

We're a new generation of humans.

Can you lift this with me?

(The eggs Su Geun has been boiling...)

- Okay. - Thank you.

(are cooked enough, so they go into the cold water.)

Thank you.

I used to work part-time at a makguksu restaurant,

so I peel the eggs really well.

I have the skills for peeling eggs.

(Once)

You do peel it well.

(Twice)

Kyeong Hwan, Paik should see something like this.

Did you come to see the one-handed peeling skill?

When I rinse it in the water, it's peeled.

(Nice and clean)

(The secret of the peeling skills...)

(is the cold water he put them in right away.)

(When you put the hot eggs from the boiling water...)

(into the cold water quickly,)

- Kyeong Hwan, it just pops out. - I know.

(a space is formed under the shell, so it gets easier to peel.)

You're the best.

Right?

(This is the skills of a part-timer at the makguksu place.)

You're the egg machine.

It's done in just two steps.

(Ggalae, the peeler for the eggs)

It only takes one second.

(Ggalae peel 90 eggs just like that.)

I'm peeling them all. Do you mind me a-peeling?

I find you a-peeling.

I am really peeling like crazy.

(After peeling the eggshells for a while,)

I finished four sets.

(the tray is full of the eggs.)

Now, I'll peel the onions.

(Lastly, he peels off the skins of the onions.)

(Paik's order)

(Everything is done perfectly.)

There's no such thing as an end

(When the prepping duo has done everything they had to do,)

That's right.

(Team Grocery Shopping arrives.)

- Nice work. - Good job.

- It's all done, right? - For goodness' sake.

You scared me.

(He checks the prepped ingredients as soon as he arrives.)

Well done. Good.

The prepping team is great.

I'm back.

- Yes. Good job. - Good job.

Hello.

(They fill up the counter in no time.)

- Su Geun. - Yes.

Turn on the heat for the caldron for soup...

and start sauteing the anchovies over the low heat.

- Yes. - Don't burn them.

- Remove the fishy smell. - Yes.

- Don't burn them. - Okay.

(Today's mission: A ssambap place that goes through water and fire)

(Of the dishes,)

(this dish represents the water.)

(Acorn jelly rice in charge of the taste of water)

(By the taste of water,)

(it means the taste of the broth!)

(Paik's special acorn jelly rice)

(We'll reveal the secret of its broth.)

(First, pour the fat anchovies in the caldron for soup.)

I'm grilling them first...

to remove the fishy smell.

(After removing the fishy smell by sauteing them,)

(pour the tap water freshly purified here.)

After sauteing them, pour water to make the broth.

That's the process.

(Glancing)

It feels like you're on "Master of Living."

(It feels like you're on "Master of Living.")

Add the Japanese sardinella.

(Add the Japanese sardinella.)

The Japanese sardinella.

(The master of acorn jelly rice's broth adds the Japanese sardinella.)

We have to make a rich broth.

(For a rich broth...)

(Tearing with his teeth)

Add the pollack heads first.

(Adding the pollack heads)

(Pouring Paik's favorite condiment, sugar)

- Get some onions. - I put them in.

The cooking wine.

(Pouring the sweet cooking wine)

You have to put it when it boils so that it will boil harder.

(The secret broth is brewed sweetly and flavorfully.)

(Lastly, add chunks of the scallions.)

Master, we just let it boil, right?

(Nodding)

Gosh. The broth will be so rich.

(While the broth is getting richer,)

(Bo Hyun prepares...)

(the acorn jelly, the hero of the acorn jelly rice.)

(Setting the acorn jelly on the chopping board actively.)

(After cutting it into two long stripes)

Is this thickness all right?

(Then he cuts them into bite-sized pieces.)

(Going into the cold water)

(The secret to keeping the chewiness and moisture of the pieces)

(He continues to chop the acorn jelly.)

Gosh. I'm in trouble.

The acorn jelly...

(There are 8 boxes of it that he has to chop.)

- I'm in trouble. - Why?

It'll be over after just chopping the acorn jelly.

(Glancing)

I'll finish this fast and help you.

I'll join you after this too.

(Kyoung Pyo joins him.)

(Kyu Hyun joins him too.)

(The three acorn-jelly-cutting brothers)

(The youngest one cuts it while it's still in the package.)

(The eldest one cuts it delicately.)

Kyoung Pyo, it should be thinner than you think.

- Okay. - Do you prefer it to be thin?

Yes.

Nice.

(The 100 servings of acorn jelly are getting ready.)

(After the hero, the acorn jelly,)

(it's time for the garnishes!)

(The first garnish of acorn jelly rice)

(Dried shiitake mushrooms)

(Soaking them in the purified water)

Paik, what are you going to do with the shiitake mushrooms?

We have to boil them down here.

I turned on the heat.

(Paik boils down the mushrooms.)

- Is it over the low heat? - Yes.

(Dark soy sauce for color, sugar for sweetness)

(Adding onions for flavor)

(Mix everything well and boil it down.)

It might be too light because there's no meat,

so we're adding the umami with the shiitake mushrooms.

There are many special things today.

It's crazy.

(The second garnish for the acorn jelly rice)

(Sliced cucumbers)

(The third garnish Chopped scallions)

(And...)

Kyeong Hwan, where's the thread?

- Don't forget to bring it back. - Thank you.

Okay.

- Kyeong Hwan. - I'll show you something nice.

Good luck with it.

(Looking around, he plans to do something grandeur.)

(Is he tying the thread on the counter?)

(He sets up the boiled eggs too.)

(Should we get it started?)

It's a skill you only get to see...

in a noodle shop with a 100-year tradition.

(The makguksu part-timer's secret weapon)

(Cutting the egg with the thread)

It splits like this.

(Cleanly cut)

(With the experience as the part-timer,)

(he meticulously splits them into 2 as if they haven't been cut.)

When I used to do this back then,

(Cutting them with a master's touch)

each piece was exactly the same size.

(With the master's touch,)

They are done.

(the egg garnish is ready in no time.)

(To the simmer broth,)

Kelp.

(he adds umami with kelp.)

(Sniffing)

Gosh. This is such a rich soup.

Master. It looks like a rich doenjang soup.

(Will you taste it?)

(Sipping)

- Gosh. - It's so rich, isn't it?

(It's rich.)

- I like it. - Should I turn the heat off?

Yes. Turn it off and strain it.

(With a sieve,)

(he strains out the rich broth.)

It's so rich.

It's very rich.

(The strained broth for the acorn jelly rice...)

(will be cooled down in the cold water.)

(To the rich broth,)

(Shiitake mushrooms, acorn jelly, cucumber, egg, radish, carrots)

(the garnishes they've made will be added.)

(The acorn jelly rice filled with the fantastic flavor of water...)

(will be born.)

- Yes. - Wash your hands.

Paik, what should I do?

Hold on.

You can season the shredded dried squid.

The shredded dried squid.

- Yes. - Lots of vinegar.

I want to eat that one.

Your seasoned shredded dried squid...

as a side dish.

- All of a sudden? - Gosh.

- Instead... - I'm good at making that.

(The main side dish of the ssambap place was chosen.)

(The one that goes really well with the white rice)

(Shredded dried squid)

(We'll reveal Paik's secret for the shredded dried squid...)

(which he is proud of.)

We have to make it here.

- Open the packages. - Okay.

Mix them with mayo.

(Avatar Cho has emerged.)

(Adding a bag of the shredded dried squid)

Come to think of it,

I've never cooked in large quantities.

You should try it because you've never done it.

(Kyu Hyun's first time cooking in large quantities.)

(Adding the 3rd bag of the shredded dried squid)

(Adding the 4th bag)

(Adding the 5th bag)

(Adding the 6th bag)

Paik, I think there is too much shredded dried squid.

- Then just do that much. - Okay.

(Trusting him)

(He's new to cooking in large quantities,)

(but he's good at calculating the quantity.)

Are you going to make the seasoning?

You should make it.

- Me? - Mayo.

Mayo.

(Inputting the Paik's seasoning)

Just add two-thirds of it.

Two-thirds?

(Glancing)

Then, 2kg will be added.

(Squeezing)

(Measuring Cho squeezes 2kg of it ardently.)

(Mix the shreds with mayo well.)

(Shocked)

(Laughing)

(It's not easy to mix 100 servings of food.)

(Surprised)

Dried Squid Cho.

(Dried Squid Cho)

Kyu Hyun, he doesn't let anyone do the seasoning task.

- Is that so? - You've been promoted...

right away.

(Paik's favorite pupil got promoted super-fast.)

Kyoung Pyo has been preparing scallions for three months.

- Scallion Ko. - Scallion Ko.

Scallion Ko.

What should I add after the mayo?

You have to leave them in mayo for a while.

Okay.

(The shredded dried squid Dried Squid Cho mixed)

(When you let it sit for a while,)

(it becomes thicker and softer by absorbing the mayo.)

Sugar.

(They start seasoning it with Paik's special sauce!)

He puts minced garlic in it.

- How much should I put it in? - Two-thirds.

(Next is corn syrup.)

(Measuring two-thirds of it with his eyes)

(Squeezing in the corn syrup)

(Pouring chili powder right after that)

(Dried Squid Cho is in charge of mixing them together.)

That looks good.

The people in restaurants do this every day.

I know. They add corn syrup too.

It's amazing.

(Respecting them for making large quantities)

(Adding saltiness with Korean soy sauce)

(Flavorful sesame oil)

It's so flavorful.

(Flavorful sesame seeds!)

Dried Squid Cho, it'll taste great.

Goodness.

I didn't know you put so many things to season it.

It needs a lot to season it.

It just can't taste bad.

But it does taste bad at some places.

- Some taste a bit bitter. - Yes.

(Agreeing)

(How will Paik's version taste?)

I should taste it.

- I should try it. - Yes. It might be bland.

(Tasting it)

- How is it? - Gosh. It's good.

- Is it seasoned well? - Yes, Master.

Gosh. It's seasoned to its core.

The seasoned shredded dried squid...

(A group of tasters rushes over after hearing that it's good.)

is a must.

How is it?

Good.

- It's spicy. - That's why I like it.

It's perfect.

Okay.

See? I'm alone again.

I'm all alone again when others are tasting it.

(The active one has always worked quietly all by himself.)

(He was rinsing the rice alone as usual.)

(It's not paused.)

Good.

(Glancing and glancing again)

(He feels sad for some reason today.)

Do you want some seasoned shredded dried squid?

No, I don't want it.

(He's sulky.)

Bo Hyun, I didn't eat it.

- I didn't try it, Bo Hyun. - I also haven't tried it yet.

- Really? - Yes.

(The seasoned shredded dried squid)

- I'm not going to have it. - Just taste it.

- I'm not going to eat it. - Just give it a try.

- No. - For goodness' sake.

- It's so good. - You have to taste it.

- It's good, right? - It's good.

(His sulkiness goes away.)

It's really good.

I'll take it home when we have a leftover.

I'll take it home too.

(The seasoned shredded dried squid the Catering Crew desires is ready.)

(The current progress)

We have two hours.

(Current time: 10:00)

We have to wash the lettuce now.

We have to put the veggies on the tables.

- That's right. - Yes.

(The ssam vegetables that goes through fire and water)

(Cucumber chili, red lettuce, chicory greens, green lettuce)

(Ssam vegetables with 4 kinds for everyone's preferences)

Gosh.

(A basket of cucumber chilis)

Paik thinks it's okay to have leftovers.

But it's not okay to have insufficient food.

(Fresh)

They must be so clean because I washed them with Arisu.

Right?

(Kyoung Pyo is in charge of the red lettuce.)

(Kyu Hyun is in charge of the green lettuce.)

(Because it's all-you-can-eat ssambap place with 100 servings,)

(the lettuce factory is running busy.)

It's not a simple thing to add some ssam vegetables...

to one's diet.

I won't add ssam vegetables when I order delivery.

Su Geun, there's a drinking fountain upstairs.

We can drink the cleanest water.

Right. Because it's from here.

It doesn't even go through the water pipe.

- You can have the freshest water. - Yes. Through the fountain here.

(While they are rinsing the ssam vegetables...)

(with the freshest water...)

(Arisu)

(Fascinated by the tap water,)

(the employees focus only on the water.)

Every employee is the same, including me.

We're half crazy about the water.

(Laughing)

I drink quite a bit of water while taking a shower.

I just drank it too.

(The people here love tap water.)

(Here's a question!)

(Can the employees of the Water Purification Center...)

(distinguish tap water from bottled water?)

(Level 1: Tap water and bottled water)

(It's marked Arisu or bottled water on the bottom.)

(They try a sip of each water.)

(Taking a sip of the water on the left)

(Taking a sip of the water on the right)

(Gulping)

This is Arisu.

It says "A" on the bottom. Is this the one?

- Gosh. I got it right. - Really?

Yes. It's Arisu.

(Since they got it right so easily...)

(Level 2: Ice...)

(made from bottled water and tap water)

Try it with the ice?

(The water has been frozen in the freezer for a long time.)

(Will they get it right again?)

(Will they?)

It's Arisu.

(He passed.)

It says, "A."

(He passed.)

What? It's bottled water.

I failed.

(She failed.)

(Last level)

(Level 3: Green tea...)

(made from bottled water and tap water)

(We removed the taste and scent of the water with green tea.)

- Gosh. - They are green tea-infused water.

(He's a bit flustered with it.)

(They are serious about water.)

(Will they distinguish them when it's infused with green tea?)

(Thinking)

I think it's the one on the right.

It's Arisu.

(Passed)

This is the tap water...

with green tea.

I am right.

(He got it right too.)

(How could they tell the difference?)

The bottled water has no taste. How should I put it...

It tastes like just water.

But I think Arisu has a unique taste in my opinion.

Actually, it's the best for us when we can't tell the difference.

But my palate trained through the water from the shower head...

(They live with tap water every day.)

(In conclusion,)

(the employees can distinguish the two from each other!)

(What is the Catering Crew doing who cooks every week?)

What is it?

Lettuce.

(Kyeong Hwan catches his breath after prepping is done.)

- Kyeong Hwan has nothing to do. - He does.

- No? - Are you always looking at me?

Kyeong Hwan, wash them thoroughly.

- No, I... - And strain the freshwater snails.

- I am working... - Quiet. Strain the snails.

(The dish he'll cook with the freshwater snail)

Hold on. Thank you.

(At a ssambap restaurant,)

(this is the most important, excluding ssam and rice.)

(It's ssamjang.)

(Paik's ssambap restaurant has a different ssamjang.)

(It has lots of chewy freshwater snails in it.)

(Upgraded version of ssamjang: Ssamjang with freshwater snails)

Should I put the chopped onions here?

What?

- Add them. - I'll add them here.

(Add all the onions Bo Hyun chopped.)

There's no oil.

(Pour in the cooking oil.)

(Soaked mushrooms, julienned green onions)

(Freshwater snails Paik put in the water earlier)

(Let's take them out.)

Should I add all of them?

(Add them!)

(The entire basket of freshwater snails go in.)

I want to take this home.

(Sunflower seeds get added for texture.)

(These ingredients bring ssamjang to the next level!)

Hold on. That pot is too small for ssamjang.

(A big pot)

Hurry.

(The small pot out)

(These ingredients will elevate the taste of ssamjang.)

Very good.

(These ingredients will elevate the taste of ssamjang.)

(A lot of minced garlic)

It's okay.

(Lastly, he adds ssamjang.)

(It's Paik's simple way of upgrading ssamjang!)

(Then he adds minced Cheongyang chili.)

(Nutty sesame oil gets added.)

(Ssamjang with freshwater snails is complete.)

Ssamjang is ready.

Is the number correct? Hold on.

Ssambap.

Acorn jelly rice.

(Complete, complete, 80 percent, 60 percent)

(The dishes are nearly done except for the last one.)

(In that case,)

(it's time to work on the last dish.)

(He'll use the technique he has honed for 30 years!)

(Decades ago, he got into business since he likes ssam with meat.)

(He was a wild entrepreneur in the food industry.)

(He began in 1993.)

(Paik studied all the meat dishes that suited ssam.)

(For 30 years, he had many trials and errors.)

(Now, there's red bulgogi that comes to people's mind.)

(It's the epitome of bulgogi with a smoky flavor!)

(A dish that suits ssambap 200 percent, seared bulgogi)

(It's in charge of the fiery taste at a ssambap restaurant.)

(It creates the best combination with ssam.)

(How do you make Paik's seared bulgogi?)

I'm holding 30kg of meat.

(He gets started with the seared bulgogi.)

(He puts a pot on the stove.)

(How will he create a fiery taste with this pot?)

Bo Hyun, give me some water.

(Water instead of fire?)

Turn it off.

(Then he adds meat to the water.)

(Adding 15kg)

(30kg of meat in water)

Very good.

(Then he adds more water.)

All right.

People will say that I'm making a stew, not stir-fried spicy pork.

(This is Paik's secret behind cooking in bulk.)

(Meat gets boiled in a pot first so that it doesn't get burnt.)

(The 2nd step gives the meat a smoky flavor.)

- What is this for? - What?

You'll put pork on it and torch the meat later.

- On here? - Yes.

(It's their plan to create a smoky flavor with a torch!)

Master, have you ever gone to a restaurant...

and thought, "I want to learn the recipe"?

Not anymore.

There were such instances in the past, right?

I visited so many restaurants.

I went through the trash a lot.

- For the recipe? - People who cook...

often go through the trash from other restaurants.

- To figure out the ingredients? - To figure out the ingredients.

(Thus, he found the secret.)

I learned later...

that all you needed was a bag of artificial flavoring.

(A shocking business secret)

I'm joking.

In the end, the seasoning is similar.

It's a matter of how drastic you take it.

(Being drastic with the seasoning creates a popular restaurant.)

(Paik begins to season the meat in a drastic way.)

(He adds sugar in a drastic way.)

It's hot.

(It seems like he always adds sugar first.)

(But he follows the strict order for adding condiments.)

(You need to go from sweet to salty to make the dish tasty.)

(The sweet starch syrup goes in first!)

(If you add saltiness first,)

(the ingredients will soak up the sweetness less.)

(He continues to season the dish.)

(Then cooking wine adds sweetness.)

(He mixes the ingredients with both hands.)

(He boils the content as he sweats.)

(After the sweet condiments come...)

(the salty soy sauce.)

(Adding the color and saltiness)

(Soaking up sweetness and saltiness,)

(the meat gets cooked.)

- I can smell it already. - What?

It smells delicious already. This is bad.

I can smell the crispy bulgogi. This is bad.

(It gets boiled for 10 minutes.)

(The bulgogi is fully cooked.)

Do you want to try the pork bulgogi that isn't spicy?

(Expectant)

- Su Geun. - Yes?

How could you ask Su Geun when I'm right next to you?

(Standing right next to Paik, he feels lonely.)

Bo Hyun.

(Sullen)

He's doing that many times today.

He bumped his head again.

- I won't eat it. - Come on.

I need to work on this.

I'll try it when it's spicy.

(Su Geun tastes it instead.)

Is it a bit bland?

- It isn't bland at all. - Really?

(It has been seasoned perfectly.)

How does it taste?

(Hung up)

It tastes like jangjorim.

- Soy sauce. - Yes.

(There's another man who wants meat.)

(Glancing over)

- Master. - Yes?

Don't you usually ask the guest to try the dish?

Please wait. I'm sorry, guest.

Musical star, Kyu Hyun will try the dish.

Shall I begin?

If you stay over there, I'll go.

Kyoung Pyo, move out of the way.

I was out of the way.

Why did you tell me to move after you were past me?

(Laughing)

- It's done. - It's tasty, right?

It's done.

There's a reason why this is important.

Get the taste right before adding the chili powder and green onion.

Then add chili powder to one corner and mix endlessly.

Otherwise, it won't get mixed.

After mixing it,

you can put it on the grill...

and torch it for the smoky flavor.

Master!

I feel like it's a bit lacking.

- What's missing? - What was that?

I feel like it's a bit lacking.

(The musical star who's a foodie asked a sharp question.)

Spiciness.

- Don't say that it's lacking. - Okay.

I told you...

that it wasn't done yet.

(He failed to be the taste expert.)

(Once the meat is cooked,)

(it's time to add the fiery taste!)

(Spicy chili powder)

(He adds an entire packet.)

(So that the chili powder doesn't clump,)

(he uses his forearm muscles.)

(Adding a lot of green onions)

(Handfuls)

(A lot of green onions go in for 100 servings.)

(Bo Hyun sees that green onions are getting added.)

(He prepares for the next step...)

(by taking out the spicy oil.)

(Thanks to Bo Hyun, he adds the oil right away.)

(Spicy oil contains the smoky flavor.)

(It'll be torched for the fiery taste.)

It turned red now.

Gosh.

I wondered when Bo Hyun would get to eat.

It turned red now, Bo Hyun.

- Really? - Bo Hyun was waiting for this.

Then I'll try it.

(Chuckling)

(He finally takes a bite of the meat.)

- One hundred points. - Thanks.

- One hundred points. - It looks so tasty.

It'll get a score of 100 points thanks to you,

not me.

(Seared bulgogi is the fire-related dish of the day.)

(A real fire is needed to give it a fiery taste!)

Bo Hyun, try it.

(He puts a griddle from the car over the stove.)

Like this.

(Bo Hyun appears with a torch as known as a flamethrower.)

The startled me.

Check if it's cooked.

- It's cooked. - Don't use the soup.

It's cooked.

(Bulgogi will be tasty as it is.)

(Sizzling)

(It goes over the hot griddle.)

Don't overcook it. Do it just right.

There should be a bit of oil mist for it to catch on fire.

(Oil pops up.)

Pay attention to Bo Hyun's fire show.

(It'll meet fire and give the dish a fiery taste.)

Here it comes.

(He torches the meat with one hand.)

(He stir-fries the meat with his left hand at the same time.)

(The torch reduces the sauce.)

(He stops right before it burns.)

(The tester seared bulgogi is complete!)

When it's seared, the fat is tastier.

(Will there be a fiery taste?)

(He tries the tester seared bulgogi.)

Kyeong Hwan.

All right.

(Impressed)

(Exclaiming)

He's impressed.

Should I keep going?

Let's try a piece each. I can't wait any longer.

(The torch master received recognition.)

He didn't even use Korean.

(He makes a ssam that contains the fiery taste.)

It's hot.

(He gives Kyoung Pyo a bite.)

(Gosh!)

(Gosh, it's so tasty.)

Master.

It should be sold at a high price.

- It's so tasty. - It's so tasty.

(Paik nods as well.)

We could run a business.

(It's the highest praise from Paik.)

We should sell it.

"The Genius Backpacker Chef."

(The ssambap restaurant will be a hit.)

It'll be popular.

Does the torch change the texture?

It wasn't the torch.

- We boiled it for a while. - Yes.

It's because we stir-fried it as if we were boiling it.

People usually make the dish by stir-frying the meat.

Since we boiled it, the meat became tender.

Doesn't it taste like we boiled the meat before stir-frying?

It's so tasty.

It's tender because we boiled it for a long time.

(The main menu that will provide the moist and fiery taste)

(Seared bulgogi is complete.)

(It'll be boiled until the serving time.)

(Right before serving, it'll get its fiery taste.)

(Current time: 10:50am)

(1 hour and 10 minutes before serving)

One hour and ten minutes remaining.

(Searched bulgogi is ready.)

(All the dishes have been cooked.)

- How much time? - One hour and ten minutes.

For the first time in a while...

We had it easy thanks to the good preparations.

All right.

Onions.

The onions are complete.

(With Sseolae, the prep team cut down the cooking time.)

So fast.

Sseolae.

(He even gives Sseolae a bath.)

Sseolae.

Shall we take a photo together?

(For the 1st time in 32 catering trips)

I'm not annoyed today.

(They're relaxed and happy in the kitchen.)

(They take a breather.)

I think Kyeong Hwan is bored.

I'm not bored.

We need to put lettuce in the trays...

and put them on the table, Kyeong Hwan.

All right.

(They're workaholics who always find work.)

Okay.

- This one? - Can't we use this?

We'll put one basket per table.

We can do that well.

(Here come the ssam vegetables they rinsed with care.)

(Kyu Hyun finished rinsing lettuce.)

Kyu Hyun, let's do it together.

- It's over. - Well done.

That's right.

There's another batch, so...

Yes.

(Chili pepper, green lettuce,)

(chicory, red lettuce)

(There are 4 types of ssam vegetables.)

(They add all 4 types in the basket.)

Tell Bo Hyun to come out.

We're the handsome team.

(The basket goes in the middle of the table.)

Is it one per table?

(It looks like an actual ssambap restaurant.)

(The tables get filled one at a time.)

- All done. - We're done.

What? We're done.

We're done.

(They finished settling up the tables.)

Chicory.

Now, it looks like an actual ssambap restaurant.

(People can get refills.)

(Pouring)

(A refreshing sound fills the kitchen.)

- This way, - Add all the ice.

it's bound to be cold.

(To the rich soup for the acorn jelly rice,)

All right.

(they add a lot of ice.)

I want to jump into it.

Let's mix it.

I want to jump into it.

(I want to jump into it.)

We need to taste it.

We'll need to do that because the soup will be diluted...

with ice.

Did you make the soup rich...

- in order to add ice later? - Of course.

It was very rich.

That's the hard part.

Calculating the melting ice is the hard part.

(The cold broth is ready.)

It's time for the acorn jelly rice. Clear the countertop.

We need to prepare the acorn jelly rice here.

(10 ingredients will go into the acorn jelly rice.)

(1. Add a generous amount of acorn jelly.)

(2. Julienned cucumber)

(3. Julienned radish 4. Julienned carrot)

Is this one serving?

(It looks hearty already.)

It looks tasty.

(5. Braised shiitake mushroom)

(It's in charge of umami.)

(6. Green onions)

Dried laver flakes.

(7. Dried laver flakes)

Now, sesame oil.

It contains a lot of ingredients.

With a bowl...

The acorn jelly rice is the main dish.

- Seriously. - It'll make them full.

(8. Sesame and icy broth)

I'll be full after I eat it.

(It's a hearty dish that fills up the bowl.)

(9. Sesame oil)

(With the 10th ingredient, egg, the acorn jelly rice is complete!)

(But that isn't the end.)

(Is there another kick for the proper taste?)

- Bo Hyun. - Yes?

You need to test it.

Check how much shaved ice you need to add for the taste.

Shaved ice.

(Shaved ice machine from Season 1)

(This shaved ice machine has a history.)

Is it a shaved ice machine?

That's right.

I'll carry it.

"Taste that goes through fire and water."

I thought I might need this.

It'll come in handy.

Everything we brought today has its use.

The griddle and such. We're amazing today.

Hey. Let's make the guest work.

- Kyu Hyun. - Yes?

Learn how to make shaved ice.

Do it like the musical.

- About 20 minutes remaining. - Kyu Hyun.

Let's make shaved ice and eat it...

so that you can practice.

Let's eat shaved ice. It's not like we want to eat it.

- It's for your practice. - What do I need to practice?

Shaving ice.

It needs to be secured.

(Bo Hyun teaches him how to use it.)

Is there a way to do it?

(Shaved ice comes out.)

(He makes patbingsu for practice.)

Is that too much sweet red bean?

Isn't it for us?

We should eat it.

(Impressed)

Hey.

- Ten minutes remaining. - Get ready to set up.

- Meat. - Seasoned shredded dried squid.

Let's put meat here then.

Make a batch of meat.

- Hurry up and stir-fry it. - Okay.

(He torches 50 servings of searched bulgogi 1st.)

(For the best taste,)

(he torches it right before serving!)

We can do it serve this first.

Shall we take it out?

(Ice, seasoned shredded dried squid)

(Seared bulgogi, ssamjang)

(The fiery ssambap zone is ready.)

(And at the serving station behind it)

Let's prepare the acorn jelly rice here.

(The ingredients get lined up.)

We should prepare the acorn jelly rice here.

Okay.

(The acorn jelly rice zone is ready.)

(The ssambap restaurant is ready...)

(to open for business.)

(Current time: 11:55am)

(The cafeteria is quiet.)

(It's the most peaceful they've been 5 minutes before serving.)

(Meanwhile, outside the cafeteria)

(Peeking)

(People gather around.)

Is the food ready?

(Should we wait?)

(5 minutes before serving, people begin to wait.)

(But that isn't the end.)

(Customers gather to enter the ssambap restaurant.)

(They gather one at a time.)

(A crowd forms before the restaurant.)

(The line goes up to the stairs.)

(A crowd forms prior to opening.)

Master, tell us when you're ready.

- I'll tell people to come in. - Okay.

- Shall I tell them to come in? - It doesn't matter.

- Please come on in. - Please come on in.

(The ssambap restaurant opens.)

(The first customer comes in.)

(They enter in order.)

Please come this way.

(He gets a heap of rice.)

(Next comes ssamjang, the rice's partner.)

(He gets a spoonful of ssamjang.)

(He also gets a generous amount of seared bulgogi.)

You won't regret the wait.

(Then he gets seasoned shredded dried squid.)

- This way. - I'll serve it. This way.

Hold on. Here you go.

(Kyeong Hwan and Paik serve the acorn jelly rice.)

(Kyeong Hwan gets the firm acorn jelly first.)

(Then he gets 4 toppings.)

(Radish and carrot)

(Mushroom)

(Then it's Paik's turn!)

(Green onion)

(Sprinkling sesame seeds)

(The cold broth gets poured over it.)

- Top it with the laver and eggs. - Okay.

You're in charge of that.

(In charge of egg and laver toppings: Su Geun)

(What's left is the ice that Kyu Hyun is in charge of.)

(Precious ice)

(The key to the refreshing flavor, the ice gets loaded.)

Shave the ice and give them a generous amount.

Performance time!

(The long-awaited ice-shaving performance)

The ice must be served after shaving it like that.

Just a moment, please.

(Shaving the ice)

(Impressed)

(Serving finale with the ice performance)

That's great.

(If they head to their tables,)

(they will find ssam vegetables.)

(The hot and cold ssambap meal is complete.)

- It's a special performance. - Really?

(He shaves the ice even stronger as he seems to get the hang of it.)

It's Cho Kyu Hyun's ice. That is why he's called Ice Cho.

- Enjoy your meal. - Ice Cho.

(Ice Cho, in charge of the ice performance)

(Leave the ice shaving to me!)

(Ice Cho picks up the speed.)

Enjoy your meal.

(The cold ice gets shaved quickly.)

(These people take their seats with the cold acorn jelly rice.)

(Stacked)

- Enjoy your meal. - Enjoy your meal.

Gosh, it looks delicious.

Gosh, it looks delicious.

It's good.

(He takes a spoon of the broth.)

(He takes another spoon of the broth.)

(Feeling refreshed)

(After taking a spoon of the broth...)

(Gosh, it's cold.)

(She takes a big bite with the acorn jelly, toppings, and broth!)

(Satisfied)

It's refreshing.

(Nodding)

It works up your appetite.

- It's nice and sour. - Right.

(Agreeing with him)

I wanted something like this.

(A dish that will find your appetite that has been missing in the summer)

(The refreshing and sour acorn jelly rice)

(Blowing)

(Laughing)

I habitually blew on it before eating it.

We usually have warm soup.

- Right. - Right.

(They each take a bite of the sour toppings.)

(Satisfied)

- It's delicious. - Sorry?

(It's delicious!)

(Kyeong Hwan is in charge of the toppings for the acorn jelly rice.)

There's no one that is doing nothing, right?

Why does it seem like I'm the only one that is busy?

(He's really busy as he has to place 4 toppings on his own.)

There you go.

(On top of that!)

Can you take out cucumbers for one?

- One without cucumbers. - One without cucumbers. Hold on.

No cucumbers.

Tell us if you can't eat cucumbers!

(He's even dealing with personal orders.)

This requires a lot of work.

- You're right. - Yes.

(There are this many toppings.)

(Ice Cho's ice gets added too.)

(The acorn jelly rice requires the most amount of work.)

(Has their hard work been felt by the others?)

(Laughing)

(A thumbs-up for how delicious it is)

(Thumbs-up?)

(Smacking her lips)

(Another thumbs-up!)

(The rice is really good!)

(Chuckling)

(She gets a big bite of the acorn jelly again.)

(Another bite)

- There's so much of it. - Right.

- It's the acorn jelly bomb. - Sorry?

It's the acorn jelly bomb.

There's so much.

(If you stir up the ice bomb that has been stacked up,)

(you can see the acorn jelly bomb.)

(Our owner is really generous, isn't he?)

(Meanwhile,)

(this man tries a spoon of the broth.)

(He gets a big spoonful of rice...)

(and shoots it into the acorn jelly rice.)

(One more time)

(It's literally the acorn jelly with rice.)

(He moves the bowl to a good position to eat.)

(One spoon of rice)

(One spoon of acorn jelly)

It has so much acorn jelly in it.

(If there's a lot of it, I can eat a lot!)

(The acorn jelly rice eating show with no time to rest)

(While eating the acorn jelly bomb with the rice,)

(he starts eating it while carrying the bowl up.)

(He's eating at a pace that will not leave a single grain of rice.)

(He catches his breath...)

(and goes for the last bite.)

(Clean)

(The refreshing acorn jelly rice has really caught their tastes.)

(Around 20 minutes have passed after the start of serving.)

Enjoy your meal!

(The acorn jelly rice gets served quickly with perfect teamwork.)

Just selling this...

(Amazed)

- It would be a great success. - Right.

- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you.

No problem.

Enjoy your meal.

(Kyoung Pyo joins in with the serving.)

(Shaving)

(This man is still shaving the ice.)

Thank you. Enjoy your meal.

(Number of bowls served)

(Number of bowls served)

(Number of bowls served: 45 out of 100)

- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you.

(He became the ice robot.)

(Looking)

Kyu Hyun, only the veins on your right arm...

are popping out.

(Popping out?)

Is that so?

How nice. It's a great workout.

(Laughing)

- Enjoy your meal. - Enjoy your meal.

(The members are working hard with the serving.)

(Where's Bo Hyun?)

(Bo Hyun is in the kitchen.)

(Bo Hyun is in charge of the seared bulgogi.)

(After spreading it out on the iron plate,)

(he picks up the torch...)

(and showers it with flames.)

(With the torch's strong fire,)

(the smoky flavor gets enhanced all around.)

(When it gets heated up until he starts sweating,)

(the smoky flavor is charged up.)

(Warm seared bulgogi that has just been made)

(How does it taste with its smoky flavor?)

(This table has just started to eat.)

(She tries a bite of the seared bulgogi first.)

(She reaches for the ssam automatically.)

(Bulgogi)

(Bulgogi)

(She wraps it carefully with both hands...)

(and eats it in one bite.)

(The smoky flavor fills the mouth.)

(The man next to her starts making a ssam too.)

(A generous amount of rice)

(Bulgogi)

(You're not the one.)

(He stuffs in the ssam he made with care.)

(He picks up something right away.)

(One bite)

(Two bites)

(He takes three consecutive bites of it.)

(He looks satisfied.)

(It's none other than...)

(the sauce that can't be left out when making a ssam.)

(The key to this successful ssambap place,)

(ssamjang with freshwater snails)

(The ssam becomes perfect with the addition of ssamjang.)

(He goes for another ssam.)

(He adds more rice than before.)

(He gets a big piece of bulgogi.)

(He doesn't miss the freshwater snails in the ssamjang.)

(His mouth comes out first...)

(and takes a big bite like a predator.)

- Sorry? - Don't eat too fast.

(Oh, right)

(From every table,)

(there are eating shows of people in love with the ssam.)

(It's a taste that won't let you stop.)

(As a result,)

(the ssam vegetables are starting to run out.)

Should we refill the ssam vegetables?

Should we refill the empty ones?

It's right here.

I'll hand you more here.

(He heads out to refill the ssam vegetables.)

Let me know if you need more lettuce.

Would you like some more?

You need more lettuce.

(They were told to be generous with the ssam vegetables.)

I'll give you more chili peppers and lettuce.

(They follow the owner's rules.)

Is it good? Enjoy your meal.

(The ssambap place that knows no end is open as usual.)

- Aren't you glad you came? - Yes.

I'm glad I came for the water sampling today.

Rain was forecasted in the afternoon.

So it had to be done in the morning no matter what.

(This team...)

(gets water samples from the Han River.)

(They conduct a water quality test with 352 items on the checklist.)

(The team that guarantees safe water)

When I was there, I couldn't even eat properly.

(There's someone very serious about ssam on this team.)

It's good.

(One ssam)

(Two ssams)

(She's very serious about ssam as much as her head is tilted.)

Why aren't you eating ssam?

I normally don't eat ssam.

The scent of ssam hides the taste of meat, so no.

That's why I only eat lettuce too.

I think I finished most of them.

(Only a bit of ssam vegetables left)

(Bo Hyun refills the ssam vegetables.)

There are more ssam vegetables here.

Enjoy.

I suddenly feel like I need to eat ssam.

(She puts one precious meat inside.)

(I should eat ssam vegetables that Bo Hyun gave.)

It's delicious.

(It's delicious!)

- Thank you. - Enjoy.

Eat up. Thank you.

(A batch of customers leave.)

(The queue has become shorter.)

Two, four, six, eight, ten.

There are about 20 plus more people left.

About 20?

(The ssambap restaurant is more relaxed now.)

(At that moment)

(Peeping)

Could I have a spoon, please?

Enjoy.

(There's no spoon!)

A spoon?

What should I do with the spoons?

Hold on, spoons...

There aren't any more spoons.

Stop by home and get one.

(Giggling)

(Looking around)

(Paik quickly grabs his gloves.)

Give me those, I'll wash them.

(He starts washing the dishes immediately!)

We'll get the spoons for you in a minute.

- There's no spoon. - Spoons...

We're making them right now.

We're making them out of chopsticks. Give us a moment.

- Give us a moment. - "Making them out of chopsticks."

(He bursts out laughing.)

- "Making them out of chopsticks." - Enjoy.

Thank you.

(He's making spoons out of chopsticks.)

- Spoons! - Yes!

(Spoons, 57 years old, a ssambap restaurant owner)

(Meanwhile, the client's party takes a seat.)

- Do you need to take a picture? - Of course.

Enjoy your meal.

- Let's eat up. - Enjoy your meal.

(He takes a big bite of the meat first.)

How is it?

It's delicious.

It's very soft. How is it this soft?

Eat it as ssam.

(He eats another piece of soft meat immediately.)

The meat is very soft and delicious.

(The meat is very soft!)

(His colleague tries a piece of meat too.)

(Satisfied)

- It's soft, right? - It's so good.

(Nodding)

(It's soft because it was boiled, not stir-fried.)

(Meat)

(Meat)

(Meat 3 times in a row)

(As he keeps eating, he finishes all the meat.)

I should get more meat.

(I'm going to get a meat refill.)

- Can I have some more meat? - Yes.

It's really delicious.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

(Meat refilled)

(Laughing)

Eat up.

I'm full, but it's delicious.

(Meanwhile, the colleague in front of him...)

(fell in love with acorn jelly rice.)

(Humming)

This is so good.

(Picking at acorn jelly rice)

But this is rather unique.

What should I say?

Don't they normally slice it thinly?

That's right.

(Normally, they are sliced into long pieces!)

(Long)

(Jong Won's acorn jellies are square!)

They fit in the spoon perfectly when cut like this.

(I prefer square acorn jellies!)

(She eats acorn jellies nonstop since it's easy to eat.)

Are they mushrooms? Cucumbers?

- Shiitake mushrooms. - Shiitake mushrooms?

Yes. It has shiitake mushrooms.

We boiled down shiitake mushrooms.

(Bo Hyun explains the ingredients kindly.)

- The bulgogi tastes really good. - Is that so?

- Can you taste the smoky flavor? - I can taste it.

(It became tastier with the smoky flavor Bo Hyun added.)

(Seared bulgogi full of smoky flavor)

(Bo Hyun diligently goes around refilling ssam vegetables.)

(A handful of lettuce)

- They all taste good. - Really?

- Yes, they all taste good. - Yes.

- And shredded dried squid. - Shredded dried squid.

- What did you put in it? - Shredded dried squid?

(Curious)

(Red flavor!)

(I want to know the recipe.)

(What is the recipe of Paik's shredded dried squid?)

You can find out when you watch the show.

(I see!)

You can find out right away when you watch the show.

My husband likes this dish, so I'm going to try and make it.

It's very delicious.

I'll make sure to tell Jong Won that.

(Okay!)

(Ssam fairy Bo Hyun leaves.)

I shouldn't leave any food behind.

(Talking to herself)

(The shredded dried squid she wants to know the recipe of!)

(She takes a big mouthful.)

(Two mouthfuls)

(Three mouthfuls)

(I can't wait to find out.)

He put something in here.

(Tasting it)

I think they added some minced garlic.

(Garlic)

Right?

(Tasting shredded dried squid)

I can't tell.

(Glancing)

- You're like Jang Geum. - Sit here.

(Laughing)

(Water Purification Center's Jang Geum)

I should try making this...

by adding a tinge of garlic flavor.

(Here is the recipe...)

(for Water Purification Center's Jang Geum.)

(1. Marinate shredded dried squid in lots of mayonnaise.)

(2. Add sugar, minced garlic, and corn syrup and mix them!)

(3. Season it with chili powder and Korean soy sauce!)

(4. Mix it with savory sesame oil and sesame seeds, and it's done!)

When you finish your food, come and get more.

If anything isn't enough, you can get more.

(He spots an empty bowl.)

Gosh, sir, how is it?

It's very good.

Enjoy your meal.

(Bottoms up right away)

(Bottoms up here too!)

(Bottoms up here too!)

Let's toast.

Cheers.

- Sure. - Cheers.

Bottoms up.

(A bottoms up parade continued for a while.)

(Amazed)

I'm happy.

(Laughing)

(The employees that filled up the cafeteria...)

(leave after they finish eating.)

The food was really good.

- Thank you. - Thank you for the food.

(After the customers leave,)

(Kyoung Pyo finally starts to serve himself.)

I should try this.

They're all my favorite dishes.

Is there any dish you don't like?

(Laughing)

(Laughing)

(So there isn't any.)

(Kyoung Pyo who eats everything that is cooked by Paik...)

(One bite)

(Another bite)

(He inhales the food.)

(He empties his plate in a flash.)

Today's menu is so good.

(He quietly heads somewhere.)

(The fridge which has the leftover dishes)

Goodness.

Shredded dried squid.

- Is this shredded dried squid? - The whole thing is.

Oh, my goodness.

Nice, shredded dried squid.

(They prepared a lot of shredded dried squid just in case.)

I'll take the whole container.

(With his big eyes gleaming,)

(he presses it down as much as he can...)

(in a container to take it home.)

(Paik does the same with ssamjang.)

Today is a perfect day.

What a lovely day.

(Current time: 1pm)

(They finish serving food.)

(Placed in the middle of the city)

(It creates 1,000,000 tons of tap water every day.)

(The water purification center is in charge of our drinking water.)

(The reason why they're so serious about water)

My daughter and wife drink it.

My family actually drinks it, so...

(My family drinks the water,)

(so they collect those wishes and make the tap water clean.)

(As always, please provide us clean water.)

The end!

- You worked hard. - You worked hard.

Was it easy because Kyu Hyun came,

or did he come on an easy day?

It became easy because I came.

It might look tough,

but it isn't.

Did we do 500 ice cubes last time?

- Was it 250? - It was 250.

You should shave at least 250.

(Thinking)

Serving 100 people is perfect for me.

Invite me again for a 100-people special.

Anyway, thank you for inviting me.

- You did so well. - As expected.

- He sure cooks well. - He lived up to this name.

Are we going there straight away?

(Revealing the next request form)

There's no break.

Ta-da.

"Catering request form."

"We hope to end the cold cases."

"Endorphin explosion."

"Adrenaline detected on the spot."

(And the main clients of the next catering area?)

The main clients are the police, Ministry of Justice,

courts, Ministry of Defense,

Military Manpower Administration, and Prosecution.

What do they mean by their main clients being...

Ministry of Justice and Prosecution?

(Where is the next catering area that has scary clients?)

Come in.

(An unknown place appears in front of the Catering Crew.)

(Everyone is very surprised.)

(They are doing an autopsy inside.)

(Fully mobilizing the power of science,)

(they look for one truth.)

(National Forensic Service and The Backpacker Chef 2)

(What is the purpose of that?)

(When you cut a bone...)

(They reveal the truth with only the sense of duty.)

(The mission for the NFS is...)

(Spicy)

(Sweet)

(Salty)

(Get rid of the stress! A meal full of dopamine!)

(Your hair might burn!)

(I don't care!)

(Even if his hair burns)

(Spitting out)

(Even if he gets his eyes hit by Sseolae)

(Or even if his underwear gets wet)

(The reason they're very confident)

(They have Paik who is an expert in spicy, sweet, and salty food!)

(What is Paik's dopamine-oozing meal...)

(that will get rid of the NFS employees?)
