(Catering Crew)

(The catering crew gathered again today in the morning.)

(Panting)

(Early in the morning,)

(Kyoung Pyo shows off his high style and dance.)

(Humming)

(Dancing)

- Whose dance is that? - NewJeans.

Really?

I'd never know if you didn't tell me.

(KoJeans featuring shorts)

(Paik hasn't been interested in Kyoung Pyo's fancy style.)

Master Paik.

It's hard standing in the kitchen all day.

- And? - I brought you a pair of shoes.

- A pair for me? - Yes.

- Let me see. - These are low.

How did you know that my birthday was coming up?

Your heels won't hurt.

These are comfortable.

Most importantly, these are light.

I like them.

- Aren't they nice? - Okay.

(Now that he got a nice present,)

(let's go and cook!)

Let's go.

It's so hot.

(The catering crew gets ready to set out.)

The way to get there...

is complicated, so we'll lead the way.

I'll follow you.

(Instead of giving the address,)

(are they telling the crew to follow them?)

(The backpack-car is sets out and follows the staff's car.)

(Where are we going?)

Today...

(Paik checks the catering request form.)

(Catering Request Form, Time: 12pm, 120 people)

(The mysterious number catches our attention.)

What's 35-5?

Isn't it the street number?

- Isn't it 35-gil 5? - Let me see.

The number must be part of an address.

(Given with the catering request form)

(Korea Road Guide Map)

(A guide map where you can find all roads in the country)

It's 35 hyphen 5.

Let's see. Can you hold this?

I like things like this.

Thirty-five hyphen five.

(What Paik who likes things like this found in the map)

(Number 5 district on page 35 in the map)

Thirty-five. Here it is.

- A long time ago... - Right? Thirty-five.

(They found 35-5.)

- It's Seongnam. - Is that it?

(They realized that the catering area is near Seongnam.)

Ninety-five hyphen five.

(When they look in the vicinity)

It must be a rest stop.

(Rest stops)

(There are many rest stops in 35-5.)

(Also, on the catering request form)

(Hashtags: Necessary Stop on Your Journey Home,)

(Taste that Opens Up, Chestnut, Geobong Grapes, Chun Hyang...)

A necessary stop on your journey home is a rest stop.

- Chestnut, Gongju. - Gongju.

Geobong grapes, Ipjang.

- Chunhyang. - Chunhyang.

Goseong Dinosaur Land.

These are rest stops on the highway.

(All the hints point to rest stops.)

On the highway...

The Meeting Square?

(Will their guess be correct?)

(They follow the staff's car.)

(They drive for 10 minutes.)

(Soon, they're in front of a highway.)

(The highway comes into view.)

Is it the Meeting Square?

(Is the catering area a rest stop after the tollgate?)

(Highway, downtown)

(The staff's car is heading to downtown instead.)

What? They're going to Pangyo Interchange.

What?

(Is today's catering area not a rest stop?)

Where are we?

(From downtown, they head somewhere.)

- What? - It must be...

next to the highway tollgate.

Right? They're going behind.

We're almost at the tollgate.

- We're going behind. - The tollgate is this way.

- It must be the tollgate. - Right?

Could it be here?

(Could it be here?)

(On the right side of the backpack-car)

(Today's catering area)

It's Korea Expressway Corporation.

Yes.

(Tollgate, a gateway to the highway)

(Today's catering area is located right next to it.)

(Korea Expressway Corporation Transportation Center)

(We prepared it for Chuseok.)

(Total length: 5,008km)

(Korea's highway)

(Countless highways)

(365 days)

(Watching over them 24 hours, 365 days a year)

(Transportation Center, the control tower of highways in Korea)

When we come this way, we arrive next to the highway.

Right, it's fascinating.

You have to go around to get here.

(Transportation center where you can see the highway)

We're here.

Thank you for driving.

(The catering crew is here.)

- So this is where it is. - It's fascinating.

(Behind the fence is the highway.)

- Is no one here? - Let's go inside.

(The catering crew enters the transportation center.)

- Gosh. - Hello.

We're here to cook for you.

Someone made a request.

Please go up to the situation room on the second floor.

- The situation room? - The situation room?

(They go up to the 2nd floor as told.)

Gosh, this is unbelievable.

What is it?

- Gosh. - Gosh.

- What is it? - Goodness.

- You see this on TV. - Or in movies.

(A huge monitoring screen)

- Oh, my. - May we come in?

Hello.

- We should ask the question. - Hello.

We can't be loud here.

- Excuse me. - This is incredible.

Who ordered Paik Jong Won?

(Who is today's client that he calls quietly?)

- It's me. - There he is.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello, sir. - Hello.

Hello.

It has nice image quality.

We've seen this only in movies.

Yeongdong Line, Gyeongbu Line...

(Huge monitors that fill one side of the wall)

We can see everything here.

Sir, please introduce yourself.

I work at Korea Expressway Corporation Transportation Center.

I'm Senior Manager Kim Hae.

Do all of you go by names of regions?

- Gimhae, - Senior Manager Kim Hae.

- Gwangju, Ulsan... - His name is Cho Won Ju.

There's someone named Won Ju.

(Mr. Cho Won Ju who's in charge of transportation in Wonju?)

- That's true. - It's a name of a place...

It's not true, right?

(Both of them are their real names.)

(Having fun teasing Paik)

I was gullible enough to believe him.

He's very witty.

(The place where employees with unusual names work)

This is Korea Expressway Corporation Transportation Center.

- Yes. - Gosh.

It's where all the information...

related to highway traffic gets collected.

As you can see,

we monitor the highway traffic situation 365 days a year.

I see.

We can see everything here.

(What attracted their attention from the start)

(Traffic bulletin made of 120 55-inch TV screens)

(Videos of the highways on the bulletin)

(Installed every 1 to 2km on the highway)

(Sent from 8,472 surveillance cameras)

(They allow you to understand the traffic flow with the naked eye.)

(25 division, 16 division, 25 division)

How does he look at all of them?

(They understand the traffic situation in real-time.)

(They consider many variables such as the weather conditions...)

(and predict upcoming traffic situations.)

(Where all highway traffic info is gathered and provided)

There has been an accident just now.

Gwangju Perimeter Expressway, Namgwangsan Interchange.

- Do you see the patrol car? - Yes.

A large truck has stopped after ramming into the guardrail.

(Large truck that hit the guardrail)

Related photos come up right away.

- My goodness. - They raised it.

Our patrols uploaded the photos...

at the accident scene through our Patrol App.

It says, "Accident of One Large Truck."

- As you can see, - Look at that.

the accident was registered by the call center.

The traffic patrol car arrived.

No one got injured.

(No one got injured, the rail got damaged)

He must've dozed off at the wheel while driving early in the morning.

That's possible.

(Accidents that occur unexpectedly)

(They create variables in the traffic flow.)

(To inform the situation room about traffic variables,)

(this is used.)

(Variable message signs)

(A lot of information on highways)

(is delivered to the drivers in real-time.)

(They adjust the traffic flow with flexibility.)

Isn't it telling us whether the traffic is...

- heavy or not? - That's correct.

There are green, red, and yellow.

(Digital map that shows the amount of traffic in colors)

Have you seen...

two big circles on highways?

- Some of you may have seen them. - I've seen them.

- Doesn't it check the speed? - That's right.

(Circles on the road)

(Vehicle detection sensors)

(Measuring the speed of vehicles that pass the sensors)

(Showing the volume of traffic per area)

(It's the digital map bulletin.)

This is a silly question.

Why does...

the traffic get heavy?

- I mentioned that a long time ago. - Right.

This is a silly question.

Why does...

the traffic get heavy?

- I mentioned that a long time ago. - Right.

"What is the person in the very front doing?"

(What is the car in the front doing?)

There must be the first car in the line.

Is it because it gets crowded all of a sudden?

- Or because there's an accident? - There are many reasons.

(On the highway without traffic lights)

(Why is there traffic congestion?)

(The Backpacker Chef will tell you for your way back to Seoul.)

(Cars that move at a constant speed)

(When one car changes lanes,)

(the car behind it brakes to keep a safe distance.)

(The car behind it must also slow down to keep a safe distance.)

(As the situation occurs in a series,)

(the cars in the back have to stop.)

(The End of Backpacker Chef Traffic Broadcasting)

The situation room operates 365 days a year.

- You all work shifts. - Right.

- You mean 24 hours? - Yes.

Although they look very sharp,

- they worked all night last night. - Right.

Mr. Lee Hyun Yong looks very tired.

His wife had a baby recently,

so he's busy parenting and working.

(The beginner father looks tired under his eyes.)

His baby should know that dad does great work.

(Employees who work all night to protect the sleepless roads)

The situation of his parenting is...

heavy traffic.

They're working so hard.

We should ask them what they want to eat.

There was no particular menu on the request form.

- Aren't these rest stops? - They're names of rest stops.

- Is this a hint? - Yes.

Do you want to eat food at rest stops?

It says, "Taste that Opens Up."

Right now, we're in a period...

of Summer Special Traffic Measures. It's our busy season.

During national holidays like Lunar New Year and Chuseok,

we have to work more than usual.

Right. You won't have a chance to go to rest stops.

(During national holidays or vacation time)

(In the midst of frustrating traffic congestion)

(The place that works like a beam of light)

(Rest stops)

(What makes your heart flutter the most at rest stops)

(Food court that's full of delicious food)

(From light snacks...)

(to udon)

(Gukbap)

(Various things to eat including ramyeon)

(The more people visit rest stops,)

(the busier transportation center employees get.)

(During national holidays,)

(Special Traffic Measures Headquarters is formed.)

How about some delicious rest stop food...

at the transportation center?

To feel like we're traveling.

- Because you can't travel? - Food we find at rest stops?

(Today's mission: Food at rest stops)

- What would you like to eat? - Tell us what you'd like.

- Something you'd definitely want. - I'd like something...

like Gyeongsang-style spicy beef and radish soup.

Or hot gukbap.

Gukbap is the best at rest stops.

Mr. Lee, tell us a dish that you'd like to eat.

- I'd like pork cutlet. - Pork cutlet?

Pork cutlet is the best at rest stops.

- He'd like pork cutlet. - How about other people?

Mr. Cho Won Ju, what would you like to eat?

- Beef gukbap. - Beef gukbap?

- Many people want gukbap. - I see.

- Because it's spicy. - Right.

Rest stop gukbap is nice when driving out of the city.

(Many people are asking for gukbap.)

It's surprising to hear...

that they want to eat food at the rest stop.

(He takes notes on their preference.)

- Let's take a look at the kitchen. - Right.

Please lead us to the kitchen.

(They go to check the kitchen for The Backpacker Rest Stop.)

- Wait, Mr. Kim. - Yes?

Will people at the tollgate join you for the meal?

Yes, they will.

Then I'll go to the tollgate...

and ask them what they'd like.

(Really?)

I'll go there and ask the employees.

- Tollgate will be fun to visit. - People who give out tickets.

(Next to Transportation Center)

(Seoul Tollgate)

(It's a gateway to and from Seoul.)

(Number 1 place used by the highest number of vehicles in Korea)

We shot many opening segments here...

including "2 Days 1 Night."

(Seoul Tollgate is operated by Transportation Center.)

Sir, how do I get there?

We only passed by the tollgate.

(How do we get to the tollgate?)

(Transportation Center where the members are is here.)

(Tollbooth that Su Geun is curious about)

(It's 32 lanes away from Transportation Center.)

(There's a way to cross the lanes...)

(inside the building.)

(When you get to basement floor 1 at Transportation Center,)

(there's a mysterious door.)

(Underground Pass)

(Behind the door is...)

Only the employees can use it.

It's a secret pass that no one knows about.

(A secret underground pass)

This underground area isn't open to the public.

"Watch your heads. Expressway Corporation..."

(He passes through the restricted area with a guide.)

Gosh, this is...

(An underground pass that's about 200 meters long)

- Are there cars passing above us? - Yes.

Cars are passing now.

(Underneath cars passing by fast)

It's a secret pass that no one knows about.

(Employees get to the tollgate through the underground pass.)

(At work)

(At work)

Currently, the number of employees is 55.

In the past, we had over 200 employees.

In the past, they handed out tickets...

- They accepted cash. - and accepted cash.

- Yes. - We traveled a lot back then.

(When we paid in cash or with passes)

(Seoul Tollgate in the beginning when there were 8 lanes)

(In 1987, it got moved and expanded to 19 lanes.)

(Now, there are 32 lanes for both ways.)

(It turned into a huge tollgate.)

Usually, one booth receives 3,000 to 4,000 dollars.

(In the past when people paid in cash)

During national holidays, one booth receives 10,000 dollars.

(10,000 dollars during national holidays)

Back then, most people paid in cash.

We earned so much that we couldn't count it all.

(Due to big cash transactions, security was strict in the pass.)

When Hi-pass became available,

- the number of employees... - It decreased.

- decreased by a lot. - Yes.

(Due to the introduction of Hi-pass,)

(several hundreds of employees got reduced to 50.)

- It's this way. - Finally, there's an exit.

(They arrive at the destination.)

We're going outside.

We passed the secret underground pass.

(When you climb the stairs to the exit)

We go through this exit.

This is how they come here.

(Tollbooth operated by a human being comes into sight.)

(He knocks when there's no car.)

- Hello, ma'am. - Hello.

(How does the tollbooth look inside?)

(A small space of 1.75m²)

(Air conditioner)

(Cash to pay the change)

(This booth of efficiency has everything one needs.)

(Three shifts of employees rotate every 8-hour.)

We're here to make something tasty you want to eat.

- Is there something you'd like? - Of course.

- Something simple like tteokbokki. - Tteokbokki?

- Fishcakes. - Fishcakes and tteokbokki.

Everyone seems to want rest area food.

- Are you working an 8-hour shift? - Yes.

I can't keep talking to her...

- because of all the cars. - They keep on coming.

We'll make something delicious,

- so come by at lunch hour. - Sure.

Well,

she wanted street food sold at rest areas.

Tteokbokki and fishcakes to be exact.

She must like fishcakes.

(The employees are craving rest area street food.)

We're cooking for you today, so is there anything you want?

- Pork cutlet. - Pork cutlet?

Gosh, pork cutlet.

I have a feeling we should serve a pork cutlet combo.

(Su Geun seems to be driven today.)

(There's a reason he's eager today.)

(The Backpacker Chef's first...)

(Cook-off)

(This morning)

(How the cook-off began)

(It started off with Paik's proposal.)

This suddenly came to mind.

Guys, hear me out.

You've been cooking on the show for a while.

- Right. - Now,

you're all at a certain level.

Sorry?

(Sorry?)

Until when will you remain passive?

Especially...

you and you.

- I'm loving this. - I'm semi-automatic.

(Passive worker 2, Passive worker 1)

(That's right. The world has two types of people.)

How should I...

(Glancing)

Do you need any help?

(Doing the tasks before they are ordered)

- I'll do that. - Sure. Get cutting.

Put me on the noodles. I know I can do it.

(The proactive people are able to cook their own dishes.)

(Kyoung Pyo has been growing into a proactive person.)

(Meanwhile)

What are the eggs even for?

(The passive workers...)

(only do what they're told not knowing why.)

Whatever.

(These men still remain passive.)

That's why I came up with this idea.

Once we arrive on-site,

I'll set aside two dishes for you to make.

You'll each be responsible of a dish.

(Why don't you two each cook a dish?)

- What do you think? - I always thought they were mine.

Fine. I'm putting you to the test because it doesn't seem that way.

(1 menu per 1 passive worker)

(And for motivation)

It doesn't end there.

We sometimes have dinner after filming.

It'll be on you.

- The loser will buy. - Really?

- No way. - Who'll compete?

It's all about the taste.

(Kyeong Hwan versus Su Geun, The Cook-off)

A battle between those passive.

(The 2 passive workers on the crew)

(Loser will buy dinner, The Passive Worker Cook-off)

This time around, it'll be Su Geun versus Kyeong Hwan.

- Come on. - Please.

I'd definitely win.

(Twitching)

I ran a diner all by myself.

(I ran a diner all by myself.)

I could win this battle even with one eye closed.

(Thus, the battle of pride begins.)

She wanted street food sold at rest areas.

Pork cutlet.

Tteokbokki and fishcakes to be exact.

(They return to the kitchen!)

(Meanwhile, Paik arrives at the kitchen.)

- This is the cafeteria. - Check it out.

- It's spacious. - It's like a Chinese restaurant.

- It's like a Chinese restaurant? - How fascinating.

It's like an actual restaurant.

These are tables from way back when.

I mean, these...

It's like I'm in a Chinese restaurant.

(A place with fish tanks and an old-fashioned vibe)

(This is the cafeteria for the day!)

We should wait for Su Geun.

(Groaning)

He's here.

What a walk. Master Paik.

(Su Geun joins after his recon mission.)

I asked an employee of 16 years what she wanted,

and she wants tteokbokki and fishcakes.

That must be the theme around here.

They don't actually get to use the rest areas, right?

They only hear about what everyone else eats.

(What kind of rest area food will they serve?)

Beef gukbap seems like a must.

- Absolutely. - Right.

- It'll be delicious. - Gyeongsang Province style gukbap.

Is it different?

Chili powder is added to make it spicier.

It'll give us a natural chili oil.

(Gyeongsang Province style gukbap that was requested)

(With spicy chili powder)

Spicy beef gukbap.

A refreshing beef gukbap with radish and bean sprouts.

That sounds delicious.

But we'll do this.

(Another announcement by Paik)

Unless we're going to make anything unorthodox,

we'll stick to gukbap.
It will be our main dish,

- and we'll give it everything. - I love it.

We'll make gukbap that is done the proper way.

(Determined)

(Gukbap master Paik's soul will go into the soup.)

(Highly focused)

(What will the legendary beef gukbap look like?)

(Coming soon)

To the gukbap, we'll...

- Su Geun versus Kyeong Hwan. - Someone asked for fishcake bars.

I don't know what they'll cook,

but dishes made by Su Geun and Kyeong Hwan...

will compete and be scored.

The loser will treat us to a team dinner.

Loser buys dinner.

(What they'll cook is the issue.)

(Su Geun went to do some recon.)

- Tteokbokki and... - Here's what I think.

The employee I talked to asked for tteokbokki.

Tteokbokki?

(Su Geun will make tteokbokki.)

(All that's left is Kyeong Hwan's dish.)

- What do you have at rest areas? - Me?

Pork cutlet.

The other dish she wanted was pork cutlet.

- That got two votes. - I kept hearing that.

Then it's settled.

(Kyeong Hwan will make pork cutlets.)

My gosh.

(Kyeong Hwan will make pork cutlets.)

(Pork cutlet versus tteokbokki)

(The dishes have been decided.)

(Who will win this cook-off?)

(The scores will be revealed at the end.)

- What? - That's a lot.

(The winner no one expected)

(Coming soon)

We'll talk some more after the trip to the market.

Take them and we'll stay behind.

- Would you like to prep? - Sure.

- Do you know what has to be done? - Yes, we heard you.

- Radish and bean sprouts. - Chives and bean sprouts.

Should we just wash the radish or slice them for the soup?

It'd be nice to have them sliced.

Use the machine if you need it.

Let's go.

- Have fun. - Let's go.

(The cook-off contestants are going grocery shopping.)

Thank you, sir.

We'll be back with groceries.

(The proactive duo stay behind to prep.)

(They begin by opening the fridge.)

Not the cucumbers.

(Not the cucumbers.)

Where is it?

(Kyoung Pyo's looking for something.)

(Paik didn't leave a prep list for them.)

Bean sprouts.

(Taking out the bean sprouts for the gukbap)

(On top of that)

Wouldn't he need cabbage...

for tteokbokki?

Of course. Tteokbokki needs cabbage.

(The proactive duo take out vegetables...)

(even though Paik didn't give them a list.)

Wash the radish, the scallions, and...

(Peeling)

(Proactive people just focus on it once they decide what to do.)

Our goal...

is to prep everything perfectly and...

Yes, and wait for them while resting.

I want Master Paik to say that we're different.

(Let's show them what those proactive can do.)

(The ambitious goal of the proactive duo)

(Prep 10 radishes, Prep 3 boxes of bean sprouts,)

(Prep scallions, Boil 120 eggs, Prep cabbage for tteokbokki)

(They want to do it all before Paik gets back!)

(Self prep checklist)

(While Kyoung Pyo preps the bean sprouts)

(Machine master Bo Hyun will slice the radish with Sseolae.)

The scallions are next.

(He swiftly switches out the blade and mold.)

(Chopping the scallions)

The scallions are done.

(Prep list)

The eggs are for the tteokbokki. One per person.

Okay.

(Prep list)

- Both, right? - Yes.

(Preparing 2 pots for the gukbap)

(Filling both pots with water)

(Waddling)

(Turning on the stove in an awkward position)

(In the meantime, Bo Hyun is done prepping the cabbage.)

- Okay. - Done.

(Prep list)

(Radish, bean sprouts, scallions, eggs, cabbage, and pot in water)

(They finish all the prepping in just an hour.)

(The proactive duo have time to spare.)

- I'll soak the rice in advance. - Okay.

It's rice for gukbap.

(Preparing ingredients proactively)

Here he comes. Hello.

He came early.

(He checks the preparation stage right away.)

Good.

You did a good job doing it quickly.

The preparation speed has improved.

You did it well.

You boiled these wonderfully.

(Proactive ones succeeded in getting compliments.)

(Korea Expressway Corporation Transport Information Center)

This is much better than before.

They did the job nicely, just like how they look.

(It's time to start cooking.)

(Spread on the expressways around the country...)

(are many good restaurants in rest stops.)

(Today, a new rest stop with nice food is coming.)

(Open)

(The first dish from the Backpacker Chef Rest Stop...)

(has a refreshing and spicy taste.)

(Spicy Korean beef gukbap in Gyeongsang Province style)

What exactly is its name, Master?

- Korean beef gukbap. - Korean beef gukbap.

I guarantee.

People here will forget the gukbap they have tasted so far.

I actually wanted to open a seonji gukbap restaurant.

My dream has been opening a seonji gukbap restaurant.

He's going to reveal the recipe today, everyone.

(For his dream Korean beef gukbap)

(he moves something to the counter.)

(Korean beef bones)

(To make rich and savory Korean beef bone broth,)

(It's a must-have ingredient!)

(Proactive ones prepared two pots for gukbap.)

(The first pot is open.)

(Beef bones going in right away)

(Two packs of beef bones)

(Three packs of beef bones)

(Four packs of beef bones)

(Five packs of beef bones)

(Six packs of beef bones)

(A total of seven packs of beef bones went in.)

(After stirring once to be cooked evenly,)

(he waits for a while.)

(Beef bones begin to produce milky-white broth.)

(After boiling enough,)

(is he taking the bones out?)

(Why does he take out bones while boiling them nicely?)

(Plucking up)

(And he pours the bones into the sink.)

(Actually, this is the secret of Paik's broth.)

You're supposed to soak the meat in water to draw out blood...

the previous day.

But we don't have time for that,

so we're boiling the bones.

What are we cleaning from the bones?

We're taking off clotted blood on the bones.

I see.

(To remove impurities and bad smell in a short time,)

(One for removing bad smell and the other for cooking broth)

(he uses two pots separately.)

(He cooks clotted blood...)

(by boiling bones in the smell-removing pot first,)

(and clean the bones off in running water.)

(That removes impurities and clotted blood from the bones.)

(Paik's secret to remove bad smell at lightning speed)

This removes bad smell and leaves a savory taste only.

I see.

(Washing each bone for a clean and deep taste)

(Beef bones that are washed...)

(go into the broth pot.)

(After pouring all the beef bones cleaned,)

(to remove bad smell completely,)

Put in these scallions.

- Onions... - Shall I cut them?

Cut five onions into quarters and put them in.

Okay.

(By adding scallions and onions,)

(he removes bad smell and adds flavors.)

(Next, Paik takes out...)

Meat.

Meat.

(Beef brisket!)

I'll unwrap the meat,

and you cut it into three pieces.

Into about this size?

- Just like this? - Yes, cut all of them.

- Is this Korean beef? - Yes.

(It's first-class Korean beef brisket.)

(After cutting the first lump, he gets the next one.)

What's this?

(A huge size of Korean beef lump unfolds itself.)

(The meat goes on the cutting block!)

(As he cuts the meat across the grain,)

(15kg of beef brisket is piled up on the tray.)

Put all the meat into this and boil.

(Just like what they did with beef bones,)

(the beef brisket is boiled first in the pot.)

It's the smell of beef soup.

(Rinsing in running water)

(Rinsing in running water)

(The beef brisket has no impurities now.)

(It goes into the broth pot.)

Forty-three lumps.

(After putting in beef brisket)

That's a lot.

(Seasoning with Korean soy sauce and salt)

(Adding fish sauce for a savory taste)

(The gukbap broth is ready to be cooked!)

(He closes the broth pot lid and waits for a while.)

Set a timer now.

I'll take out the meat after an hour and a half.

I guess about an hour or an hour and a half.

It's been a long while since I boiled that much of meat,

I need to measure time.

I need to check if the cooking time I remember is right.

(After an hour and a half, how would the gukbap broth look?)

(It's 9:10am now.)

(While preparing hot gukbap to soothe the stomach,)

(the Backpacker Chef Rest Stop's main event begins at last!)

We've done it passively, right?

A passive one only looks at a passive one.

(Passive one number 1, Heo Kyeong Hwan)

I'll make it today. I'll win fame with this.

When I go to a rest stop,

I usually move to this side.

That's where they sell pork cutlets.

Rest stops all have such typical pork cutlets.

But rest stops also have various kinds of skewers.

So...

(He thought of another popular food at a rest stop, skewer!)

I thought about the way to combine...

a pork cutlet and a skewer.

I know a rest stop in Goseong.

Since the area has dinosaur remains,

its name is Dinosaur World Rest Stop.

Dinosaur World, that inspired me.

That's why I chose the dinosaur-shaped pork cutlet.

It's on another level.

(Sweet homemade sauce is added.)

I'll plate macaroni salad with it.

(Number 1, Dinosaur-shaped pork cutlet skewer set)

Dinosaur World Rest Stop.

(The next runner who stands against him)

(Passive one number 2, Lee Su Geun)

The game's over.

When I met many employees working at toll gates,

what they wanted most...

was a representative food at a rest stop.

You know, old-fashioned tteokbokki.

It's the original one.

So I prepared a snack menu...

they can enjoy easily.

(The taste you've enjoyed at rest stops!)

I'll bring the memories of old-fashioned tteokbokki to you.

(Which passive one will be the winner today?)

It's a competition.

We do it without anyone telling us.

(The competition begins.)

Wait a minute.

(Kyeong Hwan wants to secure cooking space first.)

(Plucking up)

(He gets energetic when it's a competition.)

- Look at the veins in his arm. - Look at his forearm muscles.

You shouldn't put it there.

Excuse me. Take it away.

Anyone can see that this is the right spot for tteokbokki.

What are you going to do with all the space alone?

You can't fight in here.

It's a competition.

(However, he's already so immersed.)

(Scornful)

(And the competition gets intense...)

You should assist him.

Team Su Geun. Ask him how to cut fish cakes.

I'll cut these as you request. Triangles, squares, circles...

I don't know.
I'll just leave it to you, Mr. Ahn.

I think you can cut these in half...

and cut this way. What do you think?

Let's combine triangles and squares.

Thank you. Triangles and squares.

Team Su Geun? Then you're my team.

That's right.

He's in your team, but he's peeling eggs now.

(He's still peeing eggs for Su Geun's tteokbokki.)

Do it quickly. You're almost done.

All right.

I'll show you what I got. It's a competition, right?

Rather than working with those two,

I feel reassured with Mr. Ahn by my side.

(With them keeping each other in check already,)

(Team Su Geun versus Team Kyeong Hwan)

(Bo Hyun and Kyoung Pyo assist each team.)

(Kyeong Hwan starts cooking first!)

Let's see.

(Taking chicken nuggets out)

Aren't you going to fry these in oil?

I'll put them in skewers first.

(I'll put them in skewers first.)

Tyrannosaurus coming.

(What's the winning strategy of Kyeong Hwan's skewer?)

It's a set menu.

(A set menu strategy)

(Skewer, homemade sauce, and a side of macaroni salad)

(It's not something ordinary!)

(Dinosaur-shaped pork cutlet skewer)

It takes a lot of work.

(He'll make 200 skewers, considering extra food.)

(He begins to make skewers!)

(It's not working.)

This one's frozen.

(Frozen solid)

This one's frozen.

Is there an unexpected factor?

These are frozen.

(An unexpected factor)

That's fine.

(That's fine, because it's your menu.)

- That's fine. - That's fine.

I'm fine.

(Trying to stay calm)

I'll put these near the fire to thaw.

(Moving nuggets near the stovetop)

You're a genius.

These are not frozen solid.
They're thawed a bit.

I think I can make skewers soon.

(The nuggets are thawed quickly due to Kyeong Hwan's wit.)

(Let's see.)

(He puts one into a skewer again.)

Let's cut a dinosaur open and make a skewer.

(Now, it's a speed battle.)

(He made 4 skewers out of 200.)

(He made 9 skewers out of 200.)

(He makes each skewer one by one manually.)

(By the time skewers are piled up like this,)

It feels like a Children's Day event.

(he begins to fry the dinosaurs.)

Children will love this.

You can leave frying to me.

You can do the frying.

(He delegates all powers related to frying to Kyoung Pyo.)

I need to work on this again.

(He has work to do.)

(17 out of 200 skewers are fried.)

(He has 166 skewers left to fry.)

You can take them out now.

(While Fryer Kyoung Pyo is frying skewers)

All right. I can make it today.

I will win fame with this.

Nuggets will bring me fame.

(Kyeong Hwan will win fame...)

(by a killer technique of the dinosaur skewer.)

I will make roux.

(The essence of a pork cutlet...)

(is the sauce!)

Homemade sauce definitely tastes good.

Right. Homemade sauce.

(He pours oil on the pan first.)

(Pouring flour on the oil)

(And mixing evenly)

Roux!

Roux.

(The basic of homemade sauce, roux)

(Nervous)

Don't you smell my roux?

(Holding his opponent in check)

You didn't put anything in it.

It's only flour and oil.

Put yourself together. You're on my team.

"My team."

(After roux gets thick,)

(he adds ketchup.)

(Next, Worcester sauce)

(After mixing well)

Master!

(Asking for help)

(It doesn't look like sauce at all.)

(He adjusts the fire, which is blameless.)

I'll help you.

(Paik is here.)

Is it because I put a lot of flour?

Right. Earlier, oil made it thin.

Oil got in between the flour.

The demi-glace sauce in the can is the same as this.

(They have a different look and a texture.)

How can you make it into the sauce later?

If you add water and boil, it becomes the sauce.

This is demi-glace sauce.

If you add water, it becomes the sauce for pork cutlets.

(Now, it's in a state of extract.)

That's amazing.

(The sauce goes into the water.)

- Like you cook doenjang. - Like doenjang, I see.

(Adding a small amount adjusting the concentration)

(Mixing over a low heat)

(The sauce gets thick.)

Now it gets closer to the sauce.

(Adding salt and sugar)

Black pepper.

(The last stage of seasoning with black pepper)

It tastes good, doesn't it?

(Nodding in satisfaction)

It tastes like the old-fashioned pork cutlet I like.

(His team member Kyoung Pyo tastes it too.)

(Marveled)

Homemade sauce definitely tastes good.

Right. Homemade sauce.

- We need to boil macaroni. - Macaroni?

(And he has the last strategy left.)

(The side that's always with a pork cutlet.)

(A perfectly matching side)

Hey Macaroni

We're doing great.

(Over the boiled macaroni,)

(other ingredients with a nice texture are poured.)

(Next, fresh-tasting and crispy cucumbers and carrots!)

(The salad becomes colorful.)

I'll win fame with macaroni.

(Kyeong Hwan eagerly wants fame.)

- Goodness, still... - Here you go.

(He receives help with mayonnaise.)

Spurt it here too.

(Paik's energy surprises him.)

Here we go.

(Pouring a lot of mayonnaise)

(He mixes ingredients evenly.)

(Macaroni salad is completed too.)

(Would the taste win fame to Kyeong Hwan?)

- How is it? - It's good.

- It tastes nice, right? - Yes.

Macaroni salad came out very successful.

(His ears prick up.)

Is that macaroni salad?

(Kyeong Hwan's counterpart got quite nervous.)

Yes, macaroni salad.

(To go against the dinosaur skewer set,)

(what menu did Su Geun prepare?)

(Old-fashioned tteokbokki)

(To bring back old memories,)

(what secret plan did Su Geun choose?)

(He prepares rice cakes first.)

Pour rice cakes.

I'll use the ones made with flour.

(The basics of old-fashioned tteokbokki is wheat cakes.)

Wheat cakes make the best tteokbokki, right?

(Wheat cakes will maximize the old-fashioned taste!)

(The basket is filled.)

This is too much.

(Too much even before opening all the packs)

Master, we don't need to cook all 20 packs from the beginning.

- That's correct. - Yes.

I'm very active now, even when you didn't tell me anything.

(Proud)

Goodness.

(Passive Su Geun is as serious about this as Kyeong Hwan.)

(Next to wheat cakes...)

I'm almost done.

(Another ingredient of old-fashioned tteokbokki, fish cakes)

(Square fish cakes are cut into as big as wheat cakes.)

(Bo Hyun prepares fish cakes.)

(Squares)

(Triangles)

(Rectangles)

(Designing various shapes)

You need to have fun in choosing the shape.

A fish cake should look nice.

(While Bo Hyun is preparing fishcakes actively,)

(Su Geun, the team leader, prepares tteokbokki sauce.)

(Red chili paste)

(Glancing)

(He keeps glancing somewhere sadly.)

I want to do it on my own, but I want to ask him.

I have to ask.

If I do it on my own, I'll get scolded.

(Cooking large amounts needs a different recipe, so it's hard.)

(Getting close to Paik)

How many spoons of chili paste shall I use, Master?

- What? - How many spoons of chili paste?

- Wait. Let's go. - Let's go together.

Use five ladles of chili paste.

- Five. - Start with that.

Five.

(The recipe is entered.)

I pretended being proactive, but it turned out I was passive.

Hey, the passive one.

You need to follow the instinct.

(It's hard to escape the restraint of passiveness.)

(Now he can season it based on the amount of chili paste.)

(Pouring a lot of chili powder)

(Next to the spicy taste,)

(sugar is added!)

(Here comes the next sweet-tasting ingredient.)

(Cabbage is added!)

(The sweet taste of cabbage will enhance the old-fashioned taste!)

(Next, corn syrup will add a glossy look.)

I'm proactive.

(He proactively adds the salty taste.)

(While boiling down the sauce)

For 1 serving, 2 servings,

3 servings, 4 servings...

For 7 servings, 8 servings,

9 servings, 10 servings, 11 servings...

You think I'm putting these without any thinking, right?

But I'm not, everyone.

(He suddenly tries to talk to the camera.)

I'm taking to wheat cakes in my mind.

I'll cover you with the most delicious seasoning...

you'd experience in your life.

Don't forget that and get ready to embrace it.

Don't get stubborn, okay?

I can only do it passively yet,

but someday, I'll do it as I like.

He's being strange. Su Geun is talking to himself.

It feels scary to see him behind his back.

(Now that he has started it...)

Forget the gukbap you've had so far.

Master Paik's beef gukbap...

and Lee Su Geun's tteokbokki that brings back old memories.

If you take one piece of tteokbokki,

you'll become a 13-year-old girl.

(Special price only for one day, September 8)

What was the name? Sloppy pork cutlet or what?

Come on.

(Homemade pork cutlet skewer too!)

It's Heoget.

- Su Geun. - Yes.

Let's complete one box and put it aside.

(It's time to add all the other ingredients left.)

(Adding chewy old-fashioned wheat cakes)

(Sweet and salty square fish cakes)

It smells nice.

(The magical smell of tteokbokki lures the opponent too.)

We're like running a snack stand.

(The perfect look of an old-fashioned snack stand)

(Tasting)

Is it good?

- It's over. - It's over?

(Sulky)

Master Paik, this is so delicious.

(He loves it.)

(How good could it be?)

The tteokbokki is good?

(Amazed)

My gosh.

- Do you want to start a business? - Gosh, this should be sold.

Kids would love this if this was sold in front of schools.

(A taste that drew in a business offer from Paik)

(To complete it, thick chili powder...)

(and thick slices of scallions are added.)

The rice cakes are so high up.

Don't put in the eggs. Serve them separately later.

(A whole egg will be served.)

The tteokbokki is ready. It's 100 portions.

It will be served after cooking it one last time.

What time is it?

It's 10:40am.

- An hour and 20 minutes left? - Yes.

(There's an hour and 20 minutes left before serving!)

(Then...)

(it's time to check the meat for the gukbap.)

(How is the meat that has been boiled for an hour and a half?)

(It passes with how it looks for now.)

I want to slice up the meat...

- and have a glass of soju. - You do, right?

(A magnificent appearance that calls for alcohol)

(Will it taste as good as it looks too?)

(He takes out a few chunks of the meat.)

(When have these guys gathered here?)

I'm not trying to eat the meat.

We're not beside you for the meat.

(But with the bouncy appearance of the meat,)

(his eyes are stuck to it unlike his words.)

(Bringing down)

I took off my mask.

(He's ready to eat.)

Try it.

(The signal for trying the meat is finally given.)

(He quickly grab a piece and try the meat.)

(How does it taste?)

(Groaning)

(A taste that makes you shake your head automatically!)

Gosh.

Gosh, it's delicious.

- It's great. - Do you want it to be softer?

(Not at all!)

- Is it just right? - It isn't too tough. It's perfect.

(Boiling the meat for an hour and a half...)

(was a big success.)

(The gukbap maker belatedly takes a bite.)

(Satisfied)

Gosh, it's amazing.

(Scoop out the meat.)

- Scoop out the meat? - Yes.

(He changes his gloves.)

(The 15kg beef brisket topping for the gukbap is ready.)

(He starts the Gyeongsang Province style seasoning with the broth.)

(He takes out the vegetables from the pot with the broth.)

(Prepared radish...)

(and bean sprouts are added for a refreshing taste.)

(The thing that Paik picks up next...)

(is the chili powder that is essential in...)

(Gyeongsang Province style gukbap seasoning.)

(There's Paik's secret with adding the chili powder.)

(First, add fine chili powder...)

(and add more flavor with the spicy chili powder oil.)

(Then add thick chili powder...)

(to add more texture.)

Mix it up.

It can't have too much chili powder in it.

(The two types of chili powders are mixed reasonably.)

(It's balanced with its spiciness and thickness.)

(Paik's Gyeongsang Province style gukbap that is perfectly measured)

(After putting in half a bag of minced garlic,)

(the gukbap broth will boiled until it gets served.)

(Current time: 10:57)

(It's the 57th minute?)

(The Backpacker Chef's 57th-minute transportation tip)

(On your way back home from the Chuseok holidays,)

(what must you do when you get into a car accident on the highway?)

Gosh, this is flustering.

(Don't feel flustered when an accident occurs.)

It was flustering, wasn't it?

(Remember these two things that Su Geun tells you.)

(TOMR)

(The big highway is vulnerable to secondary accidents.)

(The fatality rate of secondary accidents is up to 54.3 percent.)

(What is the way to avoid extra damages after an accident?)

(Turn on the hazard lights.)

(Open the trunk.)

(Move away from the road.)

(Report it with your smartphone.)

TOMR.

(Make sure to remember this.)

(It can be found as you drive through the highway.)

(It's a simple but important method to avoid secondary accidents.)

Do you know the number of the Korea Expressway Corporation?

It ends with 2504.

(The number of the Korea Expressway Corporation)

- It ends with 2504? - It sounds just like its name.

(Korea Expressway Corporation)

That was really smart with the number.

If you call that number,

your car gets safely towed for free to a nearby rest stop.

I should save that number.

(Free towing service provided to a safe spot!)

(You can check for live traffic situations via text message.)

(The predicted drive time and congestion can be checked.)

(The more you know, the more you see with the traffic center tips)

(Please move away from the road when an accident occurs!)

(Enjoy a safe holiday with...)

(The Backpacker Chef 2 and the Transportation Center!)

(How is The Backpacker Chef Rest Stop doing?)

(Current progress)

(Spicy Korean beef gukbap)

(Dinosaur-shaped pork cutlet skewer set, Old-fashioned tteokbokki)

(They're almost done with the cooking.)

Is there something I can help with?

- Not yet. - No?

(The proactive one is jobless.)

(Feeling bored)

(Checking)

Is that pot not being used?

Should I cook the potatoes with that?

The potatoes?

(Potatoes?)

(A while back while looking around the kitchen)

Mini potatoes.

(Mini potatoes)

(Mini potatoes were inside the fridge.)

Can't we make grilled potatoes with butter for them?

I thought that it would make it feel more like rest stop food.

There's the dinosaur world...

and the Korean beef gukbap that is well known in rest stops.

There's tteokbokki too.

If mini potatoes get added to that, it will make so much sense.

(If mini potatoes get added to that...)

(The root of rest stop food)

(Grilled potatoes with butter)

(The rest stop meal looks a lot more full with the potatoes!)

(Bo Hyun will attempt to make these grilled potatoes.)

How many are these?

(The mini potatoes appear.)

It would be a waste not to use them.

- Bo Hyun must be making potatoes. - No way.

(Bo Hyun's grilled potatoes with butter get added.)

Bo Hyun's challenge.

(The Passive Worker Cook-off)

(The proactive worker Bo Hyun joins the passive worker cook-off.)

(The Passive Worker Cook-off)

(Proactive worker Bo Hyun joins as the 3rd candidate.)

(How dare that proactive worker join in?)

(Peeking)

(He makes the existing competitors feel nervous.)

(A new challenger joins in the competition.)

(As the proactive worker he is, he washes the potatoes on his own.)

The potatoes will be washed three times.

There must be no dirt on them as the skins won't be peeled off.

(The mini potatoes have been cleaned with its skin.)

(They go into boiling water.)

Gosh, that's hot!

For 18 minutes.

(Checking the time)

(The mini potatoes have been boiled into a golden color.)

(Sitting)

(He sprinkles the salt he prepared meticulously.)

(Taking a bite)

The potato tastes good.

Perfect!

(The mini potatoes taste good just by being boiled.)

Make sure there's no empty space.

- It's a bit slanted. - This is Bo Hyun time.

Fill it even though it's slanted. Make sure there's no empty space.

That way, they won't get burnt.

(The first key point to Bo Hyun's grilled potatoes)

(A generous amount of butter)

(Bo Hyun's strategy: Add a lot of the savory taste of butter.)

(The mini potatoes get placed on top of the butter.)

Gosh, it feels like...

I'm at a rest stop, Bo Hyun.

Welcome.

People will line up for the handsome owner's shop.

(Spinning the potatoes for them to absorb the butter)

It smells amazing.

(Spinning the potatoes for them to absorb the butter)

(Cooking the potato peels to a crisp)

(Sprinkling)

(Salt)

(Sprinkle both sugar and salt!)

(Satisfying both sugar and salt lovers)

(Bo Hyun's sweet and salty grilled potatoes with butter)

(Current status)

(Tasty dinosaur-shaped pork cutlet skewer set)

(Almost done!)

(How is Su Geun's old-fashioned tteokbokki?)

I'm working proactively.

(Cooking one more pan proactively)

I'm so proactive.

(How is Paik's spicy Korean beef gukbap?)

(Cooking the spicy Korean beef gukbap)

All right.

(Spring onions)

(Going all-in)

(Black pepper)

(The gukbap Paik has been longing for)

(It's finally ready!)

What time is it now?

It's 11:27 am.

(Just 30 minutes before distributing the food)

We have to distribute the gukbap.

Let's gather around.

While we still have time, let's scoop 150 portions...

of the gukbap meat into bowls.

Just the meat?

(Spicy Korean beef gukbap)

(In order to deliver the food more deliciously)

I'll do the scooping.

Pass me the bowls.

(Cleaning up the counter)

(The gukbap bowls are ready.)

- We have about 120 bowls. - We're ready.

- Okay. - Wear a new set of gloves.

Yes, we just did.

Let's place five chunks of meat into the bowls.

In 1, 2, 3.

We'll put the meat first and pour the soup later.

- You two should watch carefully. - Yes, sir.

Each bowl has to have five chunks of meat.

(Distributing a fixed amount of meat into the bowls)

(Spreading out the bowls quickly...)

(to help the distribution process)

We have nowhere else to place the bowls.

(Look at that.)

It's a feast.

- One scoop each? - Yes.

All right.

(Distributing spring onions into the gukbap bowls)

Let's do it.

(Distributing the spring onions into 150 bowls)

- We have more than enough. - Yes.

(Working hard)

(How am I supposed to put the spring onions?)

(Short arms)

Please check this for me.

Hey, Bo Hyun.

Yes?

I can't reach the bowls in the middle.

(Calling the guy with long arms)

I'm referring to those bowls.

(Over here)

(Easy for him)

I'm done.

(With long-armed Bo Hyun's help)

This is amazing.

We are now a popular beef gukbap restaurant.

(Preparations for the gukbap are now finished.)

We have ten minutes left.

Ten minutes?

(The employees are slowly gathering to the cafeteria.)

(The members are ready to distribute the food.)

(The plan is to scoop the gukbap on the spot.)

Place the macaroni here.

Here you go.

Can you help me carry this?

Let's bring this outside.

(The old-fashioned tteokbokki was too heavy for him to carry alone.)

- You carry this side. - I'll carry this on my own.

Really?

This is driving me crazy.

(He made it.)

(Bringing the tteokbokki carefully so as not to spill)

Over here.

Good job.

The people out there are lucky.

(Placing the pot on the counter)

(Dinosaur-shaped pork cutlet skewer set)

- Here are the potatoes. - All right.

(Grilled potatoes with butter)

We only have one sauce for that.

(Boiled eggs)

This looks like the ones sold in rest shops.

(Starting the food distribution at noon)

Thank you for waiting.

Please come in.

(The Backpacker Chef Rest Stop is now open.)

- Hello. - They're here.

(Serving the gukbap first)

(One more scoop)

(A scoop of Kyeong Hwan's macaroni)

What was this again?

Pork cutlets.

(Kyeong Hwan's pork cutlet skewer)

Here.

Enjoy your food.

(Kyeong Hwan serves the pork cutlet skewer and sauce.)

(Observing)

- Are these elephants? - They're fried.

They have dinosaurs,

bears, and giraffes.

Bo Hyun is serving the potatoes.

(Next is Bo Hyun's Kyeong Hwan.)

(Preparing the next batch of potatoes in the kitchen)

(Please enjoy the food.)

Take one egg...

and enjoy it with the tteokbokki.

Remember to take some tteokbokki.

Take your time.

(One full scoop)

That's a lot.

Help yourselves.

(Meanwhile in the gukbap zone,)

(Paik serves the gukbap himself.)

(The reason why he's serving it himself)

Tell them I have to scoop the chili oil together with this.

It's not easy.

(It may seem like he's adjusting the amount of soup,)

(but adding the chili oil will create a savory taste...)

(for a delicious spicy Korean beef gukbap.)

(Thus, Paik is planning to scoop 120 portions of soup himself.)

(Then Kyeong Hwan will take over.)

Coming through.

(Arranging the bowls for easy delivery)

Don't give out the bowls yet.

- Let it sit before serving. - Okay.

The meat has to be heated a bit.

Got it.

(Waiting for the meat to get reheated)

The bowl is hot.

I'm afraid it's too hot for you to bring.

It's hot.

(Su Geun hands the bowl.)

Enjoy your food.

(A complete rest shop-style meal)

(The employees take their seats with full plates.)

- Enjoy your food. - Help yourselves.

I'm so excited.

- I can't wait. - Me too.

(Trying the soup first)

(Slurping)

This is insane.

- Is it good? - Is it good?

It's amazing.

(Thumbs up)

- Is it good? Enjoy your meal. - It's so good.

(They each take a sip after seeing his reaction.)

- It's good. - It's amazing.

It's good.

The meat quality is different too.

The meat...

- It's Korean beef. - This is amazing.

- Korean beef. - This is?

The meat tastes special.

(Korean beef was added without hesitation.)

(The brisket is even more tender after absorbing the broth.)

This tastes like the soup I had whenever I visited my grandma's.

(Excited)

(The precious meat goes straight to my mouth.)

(A big piece of meat)

(One big bite of the meat)

(Another bite with the bean sprouts)

It tastes like the food they sell...

at the Mannamui Gwangjang Service Area.

- It's called maljukgeori beef soup. - This...

(They have tried all of the dishes including the macaroni.)

(Among the winning candidates,)

(which one was their favorite?)

For me,

(Yes?)

I like the salad.

(Macaroni salad)

I have realized something.

(The macaroni salad from Kyeong Hwan's skewer set...)

(unexpectedly won one vote between the potato and tteokbokki.)

- The potato tastes amazing too. - It has a black pepper flavor.

(One vote for the skewer set and another for the potatoes)

- What did you like best? - The tteokbokki.

(It's 1 vote for skewer set, 1 for potato, and 1 for tteokbokki.)

(Grilled potatoes, tteokbokki, and skewer set)

(Each of them gave one vote to each menu.)

What about you?

I liked...

the potatoes best.

- I see. - Grilled potatoes are my favorite.

They're so good.

I think this tastes better than the ones in the rest shops.

(A big compliment)

(They received 1 vote, 1 vote, and 2 votes.)

(Moving the cooked potatoes to the pan...)

(and finishing off with salt)

(Sweet and salty grilled potatoes with butter)

Some potatoes.

(The employee splits the potato into two.)

It was Ahn Bo Hyun who cooked this.

(A bite of the potato)

(Exclaiming)

(The grilled potato with butter just made him laugh.)

What's wrong?

I'm afraid the grilled potatoes in rest stops won't sell now.

I love them.

I would've regretted if I didn't try these.

(Let me try them too.)

- The potatoes are good. - Amazing.

(Bo Hyun's grilled potatoes are a threat to rest shops.)

(They try the tteokbokki next.)

(How do they like the tteokbokki?)

Don't you think...

the tteokbokki tastes just like it did in the old days?

It's the sweet kind that they used to sell in front of schools.

(Trying a bite of the fishcake)

(Savoring)

(Su Geun's tteokbokki is gaining popularity with nostalgia.)

Didn't you say they served fried chili peppers too?

- It was a skewer. - The skewer.

(Is this your first time trying dinosaur-shaped pork cutlets?)

(It comes with handmade demi-glace sauce too.)

(Trying a bite of the pork cutlet skewer.)

The sauce...

tastes good, and it's not even salty.

(A bite of the pork cutlet skewer)

(Savoring)

(Dipping in the sauce)

(Now, the moment of truth)

I liked the gukbap best.

The potatoes come next.

(Sipping the soup)

The gukbap is definitely the best.

Did you like the tteokbokki second?

The potatoes come third.

(Despite the gukbap being exempt from the competition,)

(it won first place in The Backpacker Chef Rest Stop.)

(Spicy Korean beef gukbap)

(Mixing the rice into the gukbap)

(A spoonful of the rice dipped in Korean beef broth)

(Giggling)

Do you need some tissue?

(Wiping with his towel)

He's raining sweat.

It's raining in here.

(An unexpected water show)

(Sweating here)

(Sweating there)

(Paik's spicy Korean beef gukbap is heating people up.)

(Everyone's favorite gukbap is boiling hot.)

(Paik's face is getting heated too.)

The soup is hot.

Just hold the tip of the bowl...

and place it immediately on your plate.

- Here? - Yes, place it there.

- Here? - Move your egg to the side.

(Most of the employees scooped the tteokbokki on the soup tray.)

(The hot gukbap has nowhere to go.)

(It's too hot for them to bring it.)

(Su Geun thinks for a second.)

Can you hand that to me so I can bring it over to them?

- Which one? - That one.

- That one? - The cart.

- Do you need the cart? - Yes.

- Yes. - Will you deliver it yourself?

- I think... - I see.

I'll bring the soup over to your seat.

It's too hot for them.

It's filled with tteokbokki.
Please stay seated.

(Placing the gukbap bowls on the cart)

Here's your soup.

- Enjoy your food. - Thank you.

Here's your soup.

This is the best service ever.

It's just like the Hi-Pass.

(The food distribution runs quicker thanks to Su Geun-Pass.)

Enjoy your food.

- Enjoy your food. - Enjoy your meal.

(They take their seats cheerfully.)

(Getting excited as soon as they take their seats)

Enjoy your meal.

That's a lot of food.

- What time are we leaving? - Did you...

We need to leave at 12:45 at the latest.

At 12:45?

- I think... - Is it for the forecast meeting?

It's not necessary for SBS,
but we all need to be there for KBS.

I thought they left with the director.

(Who are these people talking about the TV stations?)

(Not only do they appear on TV,)

(but they provide highway information...)

(and in radios on the road.)

(The Traffic Broadcasting Team...)

(transmits traffic information,)

(breaking news on traffic...)

(regarding sudden traffic accidents,)

(and information on highway constructions...)

(when a construction takes place in highways.)

(The place where traffic information is transmitted...)

(along with weekend traffic news)

Is it good?

- Try it. - Right.

What should I eat first?

There's just so much delicious food.

(Trying the gukbap soup first)

(Surprised)

It's really good.

(Her forehead reacts as she lets out an exclamation.)

It's delicious.

(Another bite)

It's really good.

(The anchor next to her takes a sip of the gukbap.)

(Her eyes widen.)

- Isn't it really good? - It tastes so good.

(They are full of compliments for the spicy Korean beef gukbap.)

(What about the dishes for today's competition?)

(Trying Su Geun's tteokbokki first)

(A genuine reaction from the first bite)

It's really good.

(She takes a big bite of the tteokbokki.)

(She is shocked.)

Did you just try the tteokbokki? It's so good.

It's really good.

(She starts dancing uncontrollably.)

Mix the rice with the soup.

- It's so good. - It's sweet.

(Eating two pieces of rice cakes at once)

(Falling in love with the tteokbokki)

The dishes remind me of rest stops.

Yes, the tteokbokki tastes just like the ones in rest stops.

Since I can't go on a vacation,
I'll think of this as my vacation.

(Su Geun's tteokbokki makes them feel like they're on a vacation.)

(She tries a bite of the potatoes.)

Tasty.

It's good.

Isn't it hot?

It's so good.

- Really? - Yes.

- Want to know how to eat this? - Sure.

Try dipping the potatoes into the tteokbokki sauce.

Try it with the egg.

It sounds delicious.

(This is how you do it.)

(Potato with the tteokbokki sauce)

- Is it good? - Yes.

(This is what I'm talking about.)

(She imitates her way of eating.)

I'm going to follow the eating master's example.

- It's so good. - Coming through.

(Letting out an exclamation and a big smile)

- The tteokbokki sauce is the key. - Really?

(Pointing to the tteokbokki once again with her spoon)

For me, this is...

my favorite so far.

- I like the tteokbokki best. - Really?

- I liked the tteokbokki. - Me too.

I picked the tteokbokki too.

(I made the tteokbokki.)

(The other dishes were just as good.)

What's this? Are these nuggets?

(They're dinosaur-shaped pork cutlet skewers!)

This is the demi glace sauce.

(How does the pork cutlet skewer taste like?)

(Nodding)

The dinosaurs taste amazing.

(Licking the sauce)

(It makes her dance.)

The sauce is really delicious.

(Demi-glace sauce that Kyeong Hwan made is excellent.)

(Tasty dinosaur-shaped pork cutlet skewer set)

I feel like throwing up.

I ate so much.

The skewers were good too.

(What menu did they vote for?)

(Current time: 12:30pm, 30 minutes since they started serving)

It's hot.

It's hot.

(It's hot!)

(Boiling soup)

(It's hot, but Paik scoops them up diligently.)

(Su Geon comes to refill gukbap.)

We need more tteokbokki.

(More than half of tteokbokki is gone.)

(Struggling)

(While Su Geun is preparing to cook tteokbokki...)

Hold on. Someone needs to deliver gukbap.

(Bo Hyun takes over the gukbap delivery.)

This was plated recently, right?

This was plated first, right?

Yes, these were plated first.

(He thoroughly checks the order gukbap was plated.)

(He starts delivering.)

You took your soup already.

- Thank you. - No problem.

It's hot, be careful.

- Enjoy the food. - Thank you.

(Thanks to him, gukbap is being distributed smoothly.)

Here.

(Tteokbokki is made in an instant.)

(Freshly cooked tteokbokki is ready.)

(He goes to refill tteokbokki.)

Pilots are here.

Pilots are here.

(Police)

(These people wearing the police badge...)

(are from the highway patrol team.)

(They prepare for accidents that may happen anytime and anywhere.)

We work on 3 shifts for 24 hours.

(They check the road situation with 8,472 CCTVs...)

(and oversee the accident and crime scenes...)

(as a control tower.)

(They dispatch to the scene and arrest drivers that broke the law.)

(Patrolling the highway)

(For the safety of the road,)

(the highway patrol always stays in their position.)

(Highway patrol officers sit down.)

(Bo Hyun comes to deliver gukbap.)

- Enjoy. Where should I put it? - Thank you.

- Here. - Shall I put it here?

- Thank you. - Enjoy.

(He delivers the correct amount of gukbap.)

About four people can sit there.

(One person moves to another table.)

I have two?

(Now he has two bowls of gukbap.)

(I'm lucky.)

You can have more soup if you want.

Goodness.

(He lifts up a bowl and gulps it down.)

I skipped breakfast too.

(I skipped breakfast too.)

You stayed up the night.

(You stayed up the night.)

You had it roughest here.

(The officer skipped breakfast because of the shift.)

(He swallows down one bowl of gukbap.)

I'll have another bowl.

(For the second soup, he adds rice to it.)

(He takes a big bite.)

(It melts his fatigue away.)

(Gukbap comforts his rough day.)

(Others are having a conversation.)

(He is eating as if he is on a battlefield.)

(He takes a bite of tteokbokki.)

(Then he inhales gukbap again.)

(A bite of a skewer too)

(He even shoves a potato in his mouth.)

(Satisfied)

(He gulps down the second bowl of gukbap too.)

(He scrapes down to the final rice.)

(His plate is clean.)

(It was an unstoppable meal.)

(The police officers are here to vote as well.)

(Where does his hand head to carefully?)

He won completely.

- This... - Grilled potatoes with butter.

(Thank you!)

(Meanwhile, Bo Hyun is still delivering gukbap.)

Take your seat, and I'll deliver you gukbap.

(Take your seat, and I'll deliver you gukbap.)

Potatoes are good.

- Potatoes? - Potatoes are good.

Are potatoes good?

(He heard a compliment about his child by chance.)

- Are potatoes good? - Yes.

Potatoes are good.

- That's great. - Thank goodness.

- Enjoy. - Thank you.

Thank you.

(Bo Hyun, motivated by the compliment about his child,)

(goes to deliver gukbap again.)

The soup is very hot. Be careful.

(Careful)

It's completely different from any gukbap you've tried before.

- I can assure you that. - Thank you.

I heard the potatoes were really good.

Who made it? I made it.

(Shameless)

(He uses the chance to promote his potatoes.)

(And competing against him)

Place tteokbokki in the soup part of the plate.

We'll serve you soup separately.

Place an egg in the soup part and pour tteokbokki on top of it.

Place tteokbokki in the soup part of the plate.

(Tteokbokki dad is busy enhancing his child's presence.)

(Thanks to him, they take a lot of tteokbokki.)

(Kyoung Pyo serving dinosaur pork cutlets...)

Enjoy.

- It's a dinosaur pork cutlet. - Yes.

We made the sauce. Demi-glace sauce.

(He promotes dinosaur pork cutlets in Kyeong Hwan's stead.)

I like having this at home too.

Potatoes. Actor Ahn Bo Hyun cooked them with a lot of effort.

It'll taste good. Everyone liked it.

(He is also promoting the potatoes for Bo Hyun who worked hard.)

Thank you, enjoy.

(The promotions are getting more intense.)

Take more potatoes.

(The Backpacker Chef Rest Stop, 10m)

- I like tteokbokki the most. - Me too.

Tteokbokki tastes so good.

Tteokbokki is the best.

Yes. Tteokbokki tastes delicious.

(Yes! Tteokbokki tastes delicious.)

It's the battle between tteokbokki and the soup.

(Is that so?)

I really like the sauce too.

(Dipping it in a lot of sauce)

It's good.

I like the potatoes.

(I like the potatoes.)

(They are neck and neck,)

(and we can't predict the outcome until the end.)

(Who did the voters choose? It will be revealed soon!)

(Current time: 12:50pm)

(They finish serving!)

- Good job, everyone. - Good job.

(The Catering Crew pulled off the rest stop vibe well.)

It was a bit hot in the cafeteria,

but they still enjoyed the food.

It was fulfilling.

(We hope they felt the holiday vibe for that moment at least.)

- Here. - Gosh.

I'm most curious about...

who got the highest votes.

Since we agreed that the loser would treat us to a 5,000-dollar dinner,

- we should keep the promise. - A 5,000-dollar dinner?

Of course.

If I may make a guess,

tteokbokki will place first,

Bo Hyun will place second,

and third place...

(Predicted to pay 5,000 dollars)

That's what I predict.

What's the name of the dish? A dragon?

- No, it's a dinosaur festival. - No, it's a dinosaur festival.

- I mean... - It's so childish.

In it...

(The voting results are here.)

They voted?

(But before we open it!)

(Let's check the exit poll.)

(Candidate 1: Dinosaur-shaped pork cutlet skewer set,)

(also known as a dinosaur festival)

(Candidate 2: Old-fashioned tteokbokki)

(Candidate 3: Grilled potatoes with butter)

- I choose potatoes. - I choose tteokbokki.

I have a childish palate.

(Dinosaur pork cutlet)

Tteokbokki was good too.

(Tteokbokki was good too.)

But I'll choose this.

I already said I'd choose potatoes.

- I can't decide. - But I ate more tteokbokki.

I also ate tteokbokki...

- Tteokbokki is the best. - That's right.

- I liked potatoes too. - Me too.

(Who will be the winner?)

- Dinosaur festival. - I can tell already.

(He will reveal from the left.)

From the left.

(A nerve-wracking moment)

I wonder how many votes he got. One...

Wait.
Before you reveal it, let me do it again.

Again.

- First place. - Come on.

- Second place. - Wait.

- Third place. - No, because...

How can you paste our photos there?

They shouldn't know who cooked it.

Potatoes will definitely win this way.

Hold on.

(An unexpectedly unfair voting)

Our photos shouldn't affect how they vote for the food.

- This is wrong. - Exactly.

The name is wrong too.

It's supposed to be "deep-fried dinosaurs eating macaroni."

Exactly. They...

(Another passive person is furious.)

(The name of the menu changes again.)

It's completely different.

(The proactive person just finds it funny.)

"Deep-fried dinosaurs eating macaroni."

You started with the pictures on the board, right?

- Yes. - Then Su Geun will place last.

Master, I'm no joke.

- In what? - I don't know.

Let's see if he's no joke.

(Let's see if he's no joke!)

- Ta-da. - That's a lot.

(He is no joke.)

(He got 41 votes!)

(These people must've voted based on the food.)

(Changing his stance quickly)

Let's check the potatoes next.

(Feeling nervous)

You can already see...

Do you see the stickers sticking out for grilled potatoes with butter?

No, that's not it.

- No. - I think Kyeong Hwan has one vote.

(No.)

I think Kyeong Hwan has one vote.

- Ta-da. - Gosh.

You can't tell.

- You can't tell. - Goodness.

- Guys. - They're neck and neck.

(They are neck and neck.)

(The proactive person is feeling proud.)

- You can't tell. - They're neck and neck.

- Let's check. - They're neck and neck. Let's see.

- The VIP. - Even I think...

- Hold on. - Bo Hyun's has a lot.

Hold on. You might feel trypophobic...

because they're pasted so closely together.

I think...

I think we already got 120 votes.

- Okay, one... - Ta-da.

(Ta-da)

- One... - Ta-da.

(Laughing)

(Sad)

One fell off with this.

Ta-da.

(Meanwhile, one vote fell off.)

Let's set the date for dinner.

(Let's set the date for dinner.)

Gosh, this is so...

Let's set the date for dinner.

Shake it and see if any falls.

(Hung up on it)

(Rest stop food competition results)

(In 2nd place, 41 votes.)

(In 3rd place, 13 votes. In 1st place, 55 votes)

(The power of grilled potatoes)

I almost got grilled with butter myself.

Seriously.

But now that I see the results, I'm satisfied.

It's nice.

How can a dinosaur beat potatoes?

Even I thought...

(We hope a passive person will beat a proactive person one day.)

(And...)

(the next catering area will be revealed soon.)

(Tae...)

(kwon...)

(do)

(The pride of Korea)

(The first children taekwondo demonstration team)

(Catering Crew is here for the admirable children.)

(For young children.)

(I'll think of it as cooking for my children.)

(A meal prepared with the mindset of a father)

(Italian Korean beef steak)

(Mango bingsu like the ones they serve in hotels)

(And...)

(I prepared a gorgeous face.)

You have ten minutes left.

(But time flies yet again.)

(Hungry children are approaching.)

(Will Father Paik's fatherly mind work on the children?)
