In KBS 2TV's 'Newly Released Pyeon Restaurant' (hereinafter referred to as 'Pyeon Restaurant'), which will be aired on February 3, Lee Chan-won takes on the challenge of making pupa stew, a nostalgic food that he 'likes more than rice.' In this process, Lee Chan-won's freezer, filled with overflowing fatherly love, is also revealed. Lee Chan-won's story of memories is expected to provide warmth.
In the VCR released on this day, Lee Chan-won opened the freezer door to look for ingredients, saying, “There is a nostalgic food from my childhood.” At a glance, Lee Chan-won's freezer was completely filled. Lee Chan-won began taking out the ingredients from the freezer one by one. Cooking ingredients such as dried bracken, perilla seeds, cuttlefish, cutlassfish, anchovies, and pollack slices poured out like water from a fire.
Afterwards, amazing dishes continued to come out of the freezer, including eel soup, chicken gaejang, dongtaetang, makchang, boneless chicken feet, loach soup, red pepper paste, seasoned beef bulgogi, and soy sauce crab, which Lee Chan-won's father made and sent to him. Chan-won Lee's cooking mentor, I could clearly feel the extraordinary love of his father, who always prepared meals with sincerity for his son living in a foreign country. The ‘Pyeon Restaurant’ family couldn’t keep their mouths shut at the incredible variety of food.
After searching through the freezer, what I pulled out was a pupa. For Lee Chan-won, pupae were a food of memories. Lee Chan-won said, “Not long ago, after an event, I found a pupa stand and tried to buy some to eat, but fans were worried and asked, ‘Why don’t you cook rice? Why are you eating pupae?’ “In fact, I like pupae more than rice,” he said, revealing his passionate love for pupae. Next, Lee Chan-won quickly made the spicy fire bundegi stew, which he said he often makes.
Chan-won Lee's mukbang exploded after a long time, and the 'Pyeon Restaurant' family also gulped down their mouths, saying, "It looks delicious." On the other hand, as it is an ingredient with strong likes and dislikes, some cast members were unable to hide their embarrassment, raising curiosity. Lee Chan-won's father's special love for his son, Lee Chan-won's nostalgic menu bundegi stew recipe and mukbang can be found on KBS 2TV's 'Newly Released Restaurant', which will be broadcast at 8:30 pm on Friday, February 3.
