In the 387th episode of 'The Manager,' viewers will get an exclusive look at Chef Park Eun-young's new venture. A seasoned chef with 15 years of experience, Park Eun-young will be seen preparing her signature Dongpo Pork Dumplings, a dish that earned her acclaim on 'Black and White Chef.' The dumplings have become so popular that even staff members who initially struggled with making them have now become 'dumpling experts.'
The episode also features a heartfelt visit from Park Eun-young's mentor, the legendary Chef Yeo Kyung-rae. The two share a nostalgic meal of Doenjang Jajangmyeon, during which Yeo Kyung-rae expresses his genuine feelings about his protégé's independence. The conversation shifts to the possibility of both chefs competing in the upcoming 'Black and White Chef 3,' where they might lead opposing teams in a '4-person 1-team' restaurant battle. This potential 'family feud' in the culinary world has piqued the interest of many.
In a lighter segment, the duo visits the Seoul Folk Flea Market, showcasing their quirky mentor-mentee chemistry. They reminisce about a whimsical episode where they once believed they had discovered a painting worth 3.5 trillion won and ambitiously bought 100 pieces, dreaming of retirement without having to cook Jajangmyeon again. Whether their adorable ambition came to fruition remains to be seen.
Catch the enchanting world of Chef Park Eun-young and the delightful camaraderie with Chef Yeo Kyung-rae on 'The Manager,' airing tonight (28th) at 11:10 PM.
