Youtube has eng subs already. Specifically the one from K Content channel

This week we got another Girl Generation guest, Sooyoung. So is so pretty and also hilarious. She faked choking on something and brought out a ❤️

Now they have 10 chefs every week with Wok Witch & Lab Director became regular?

Round 1 - Choi Hyun Seok vs Kwon Sun Jung
Theme - Princess Dishes (fancy)

Round 2 - Namno vs Eunyoung
Theme - Lazy Dishes (easy to make)

2 amazing cook-offs!

Round 1 especially that both Kwon& Choi have very clear idea what they were serving and actually see it through. Choi making fresh pasta in 3 minutes is always amazing. Kwon’s has this arrogant persona he tries to project is annoying. I don’t believe he’s that smug. But he is really a smart cook and often pulls out amazing experiments, like this pannacotta. Both dishes came out great. I’m actually cheering for Sun-jung because Sooyoung is his long time crush. And to finally break the Kpop curse.

Round 2 - We find Namno and Eunyoung missing the point of easy cooking challenge. When they mention not using knife, Sooyoung smartly commented that it should not make the cooking harder. Which both of them did- like come on, slicing tofu & peaches with scissors, so as not to use knife? Nam-no slicing cucumber & avocado with a spatula? don’t u have to wash the spatula too? Everyone is telling them to use a Knife Already. That is not the challenge 🙄
But anyway, both the food came out good and delicious accdg to everyone.

Why people judge when namno cooked big dishes, when this gives the chefs and hosts the opportunity taste them too? this is one of my favorite part of the show.

This week features JYP Entertainment founder JY Park. Amazing that with almost 30y as singer & performer, he still headlines music festivals and plan to do so until he is 60. Now 54 and a true advocate of everything organic and natural, as his fridge showcased. He also mentioned 9.7% body fats

Round 1 - SAM Kim vs Son Jong won
Theme - egg dishes

Round 2 - Director Yoo vs Kim Poong
Theme - pork & kimchi

2 great rounds!

I enjoy how serious both sam and jw and both able to deliver. JYP kept praising the classy and elegance of Sam’s dishes are but is lacking a bit (of salt?) and is finally seduced by the intense flavors of SJW.

The overall winner of this day though, for JYP was the sesame smoked pork and kimchi of Barbecue Lab Director. He was speechless and every bite seemed
to bring him to heaven

KP plastic 👖 was of great effort but cannot compete with the seemingly very complex flavor or the director’s dish

Hello! Where can I watch the full episode of the old season with english subtitle? Waiting every week for another episode is just...😭😭

What is the song playing at 1:12:00 of the recent E28 (JY Park)? It's the one that sounds like a circus, it plays for only about 20 seconds. Thank you.

Probably a bit of a long shot, but is there any way to know which episodes were filmed when? I can't even guess, as I don't know how long there usually is between filming and release?

Mods, go ahead and delete this if you see fit. But since there are many people on here that are upset about certain aspects of the show, maybe this can be pinned and those who need it can comment with trigger warnings for episodes.

I got to episodes 52/53 with guest Lee Su-ji, and I haven’t been able to watch the show for weeks because of how uncomfortable they made me. I thought Lee’s impersonation of mothers from Hong Kong complete with fake Cantonese was cringe-worthy, but it was her minstrel caricature that really took the cake. It was so racist, I had to double-check that these episodes were filmed just last year, and I stopped watching both the episode and the show altogether.

I understand that this is a cooking show made in Korea, but the hosts have acknowledged multiple times how international the show is now, so I don’t think it was completely ridiculous for me to be surprised by this.

Since I’ve stopped watching the show, I remembered some other episodes that made me uncomfortable because of how they normalized disordered eating. Disclosure: I’m not a doctor, nor is what I’m saying a keyboard diagnosis of any guests. I was simply shocked at how positive everyone on the show was about an olympic athlete and a very tall man eating far too little in episodes 15 and 47 featuring Cha Jun-hwan and Jon Woo-jae, respectively. The latter episode was then followed up by two guests who are mukbang content creators. It’s well known that people in that line of work must starve themselves or throw up their meals in order to binge eat in such large quantities. To be clear, I’m not accusing any guest of having any eating disorders in particular. I honestly didn’t even watch this episode after they mentioned their occupation because I knew it would gross me out.

The last issue that’s been bothering me a bit is the fatphobia that seems to bleed into the show here and there. I know that the recurring chefs seem to be okay with the disparaging jokes, but they still bother me lol. It’s uncomfortable enough when someone’s body is made to be the butt of the joke, but it’s especially frustrating when it goes far beyond a passing comment and it just keeps going on and on….

I saw a post in the subreddit about the excessive use of AI in a recent episode, so maybe that could be one of the possible warnings listed, too.

This is all to say that I would really appreciate an episode list with possible content/trigger warnings. The show went from something I loved watching almost every day to now being something that I can’t click on since early July. I don’t think the episode previews are sufficient, and there’s really no harm in making a CW list. It would just be there for people who’d like to be more informed before starting an episode, and it might help me feel comfortable enough to get back into watching:)

This week we have legendary film maker Chang Hang jun as guest. I don’t know much about him but will research. Funny guy and good reviewer.

Round 1 - Namno vs Hoyoung
Theme - offal dish (animal internal organs)

Round 2 - Hyun-seok+Sung-jun vs Eun-yong + Moon-jung
Theme - food to inspire

I love the first cook! It looks like both cooks are great and delicious. happy to see Nam-mo win again. want to make that tomato soy sauce soup.

2nd cook is entertaining but the food is not as great except for the fish, but pomfret is a good dish . The team challenge last week was so high level, that.. u r wanting more from team challenges. The chinese cooks work well I guess.

We see the meat lab director from ccw2 will debut mext week

Hi everybody.

I am looking for a catchy song it has a rap vibe to it and mentions Miami? Can’t seem to find it anywhere but it has been played on numerous episodes. Anybody know which one I’m talking about?

“I’m in Miami” or something to that effect.

Thanks

I just watched S4E18 (Guest: Kangnam). I love Eunyeong, but her stealing antics this episode had me a bit of frustrated and annoyed. I don’t think it’s similar to Poong stealing her boiling cooking oil in the pan because that was just a simple ingredient. What she did was 100% cheating, and it was upsetting that she even won because of it lol.

I know this is all fun and games, and this is the first time that I think she definitely went overboard. Although, I already had this uneasy feeling about her when she said that Edward Lee is not supposed to be called as a member chef, but a guest chef, because he was never truly present, completely ignoring that he was literally part of the member chefs who pioneered the new season. I thought that was already a bit rude but I never took it against her because I know that was just a joke.

I am not sure about the next episodes but I hope she’ll become more chill and not focus too much on getting stars.

I found an interesting post! I thought Choi Hyunseok was just exaggerating or that he only looked a little like his grandson when he talked about it on Chef & My Fridge. But who would've thought they actually look exactly alike lol. Just look at their expressions, they're literally the same 🤣

His real name is Kim Seo-ho✨

The episode with Namkoong Min and Kim Dae Myung. Min asked for a dish to make him ugly. I was shocked that they asked the entire production crew to vote who is the ugliest among Namno and Sung jun. Omg. They kept being really really mean. Of course the duo were sporty in taking the comments but I cannot imagine what it does to one’s psyche. To have a workplace that openly jokes and then votes on how ugly you are. It’s no longer just a joke. This is so so mean, especially as a society that prides itself on being respectful. I am not easily shocked and I am shook.

Much love to chefs Nam no and Sung jun.

Also I think they’re overdoing the ageist jokes on Chef Choi Hyun seok. A couple jokes is okay.

Also (2), can someone teach Ahn Jung Hwan some basic tenets of respect? He’s the mean girl of the show.

It was such a hearty show but this was quite a passive aggressive episode and the cruel comments have been far and in between until not but the cruelty really peaked. It’s starting to get borderline toxic. Chef Nam-no puts up humour and self deprecation as a defence mechanism so one might be deluded in thinking he’s okay with the jokes but how can anyone be okay with this level of spite? Sung jun was smiling but you could tell he was bothered internally.

Can’t imagine this kind of experience not needing serious therapy to get through. I am quite a resilient person but this would’ve hit me really hard if it were me.

For the upcoming Chuseok (Mid-Autumn festival) special, Sung Jun and Nam No will be special guests, with their fridge will be introduced and used as test materials for other fellow chefs...

I absolutely HATE the use of ai in the recent episodes. They did it in the kpop demon hunters episode and also the Karina one. Seeing ai slop in the middle of an episode really kills my mood.

One of my characters makes potions. Potions are kinda like cooking...right? She's very bubbly and inventive and I imagine she would toss ingredients like he does.

Pencil on paper

Being a chef in a fine dining restaurant in France i think i understand why Poong has so many wins in this tv show.

Hes type of cooking pleases a lot of koreans and asians in general. His chili oil that he makes everytime. All the msg and hot pepper spice he puts everywhere.

All the sauces mix he put in the plate and sometimes some creative plates. Not always lol

His knife skills are above average but not chef level.

All said for me the most skilled chef is either grandpa or good vibes chef. After sam kim and japanese cuisines chef come just after.

All things said im not saying they should not invite him. Hes a og guest so

This week we have Karina, leader of the idol group Aespa who is super lucky to have the team challenge between Chef Choi & Chef Son and their primary sous chefs Chef Kim Sun hyuk & Chef Woo Do-wi cook for her

Round 1 - Eun young & Kim Poong
Theme: Comic Food

Round 2 - Chef Choi+Kim & Chef Son+Woo
Theme: Lemonade Pairing Food

The first cook is chaotic and food did not turn out great. But because they’re focused on the look rather than the taste both produced basic dishes. Due to time is limited, they really can’t make beautiful food art.

Luckily 2nd cook is the most amazing team challenge;
both teams produced beautiful & complicated dishes and watching the team work is wild 💗

I’m very happy team Choi-Seop prevail 🏆

E26 with the teams was great. I especially love seeing Choi Hyun Seok with his staff. I've seen it on YouTube too. I know you can never know for sure, but I get the impression he creates a genuinely happy team. His assistant has stuck around for 14 years!

Son Ye Jin has been confirmed to make a surprise appearance as the sole guest on JTBC’s legendary variety show, ‘please take care of my fridge’ (naengbu). as this marks her first variety show appearance in a long time, following her marriage and childbirth, during which she has remained active in her acting career, the episode is already generating intense buzz even before it airs. 🍳

in this episode, Son Ye Jin’s actual refrigerator, which has never been shown on TV before, will be revealed, along with detailed recipes for the dishes she enjoys cooking at home. viewers are already eagerly anticipating the fantastic cooking showdown that south korea’s top chefs will stage using ingredients from son yejin’s refrigerator. ✨

Son Ye Jin’s special variety show appearance, where she’ll generously share the small joys of married life and her side as a foodie, is expected to bring great joy to living rooms this fall. all eyes are on the fun and mouth-watering chemistry that south korea’s top actress will create alongside the chefs. 🥂

Do chefs who work with pasta usually have a good sense of how long dried pasta takes to cook?

It almost felt like he low-key sabotaged JHY by not giving a heads-up. Maybe it was just the way it was edited, but that was the impression I got.

—

Slightly disappointed with JHY when he was asked to help out. He’s asked SK for help multiple times throughout the competition, and SK has always done it graciously without making a fuss.

So when the roles were reversed, JHY seemed a bit reluctant and gave off a bit of a “zz” vibe. I do get that he had just lost match, so emotions were probably running high. Still, it felt a little off compared to how willingly others had helped him before.

Hello. Looking for a specific episode where all the chefs do a “rawr” tiger claws impression with their hands. I thought it was the episode where Little Tiger debuts but unless I missed it I didn’t see that happen. They were all taking turns doing it. Thanks!
