Jooheon, growing up as a British student, was also surprised to be a big eater
In JTBC's 'Korean's Plate' broadcast on the 22nd, the meal corps experienced upgraded challenges by cooking meals for as many as 300 people at Queen Elizabeth School.
On this day, the meal corps entered the Queen Elizabeth School, which was established with permission from Queen Elizabeth I. While the history of the school, which has a long tradition of 450 years, was awe-inspiring, Peter, a British member of the catering corps, surprised everyone by appearing as a graduate and client of Queen Elizabeth School. Peter then declared his satisfaction goal to be 90%, marking the start of a difficult journey.
The concerns of the members who conducted a preliminary investigation into the cafeteria deepened. The cafeteria was crowded with students eating snacks even though it was not lunch time. In particular, Jooheon of Monsta
In addition, news came as a surprise from the kitchen manager at Queen Elizabeth School. We are in a situation where we have to feed 300 people, the largest number of people, in the shortest amount of time ever. A shadow was quickly cast over the faces of the meal corps members as they said that not only the preparation of vegan meals, but also the delay in the distribution time could cause disruption to classes.
What made the catering team in crisis laugh was the surprise appearance of none other than Chef Lee Yeon-bok's dependable left arm, Chef Lee Hong-woon. Chef Lee Hong-woon, who flew to London to fill Heo Kyung-hwan's vacancy, performed like a relief pitcher as soon as he was brought in. He showed off his side as a hidden hero by taking charge of preparing ingredients in a fast-paced kitchen and even performing a knife-cutting ensemble with chef Lee Yeon-bok.
Meanwhile, Hong Jin-kyung had a fierce fight with potato pancakes. After the patience of grating 300 servings of potatoes, the oven was opened, but traces of unprocessed breakfast were detected, and an emergency call was made, saying, “We need to call the chef in charge here.” In the end, Hong Jin-kyung, who took out a large pan, was blocked by the wall of the giant potato pancake, which was difficult to turn over, and declared giving up, drawing attention to whether she would be able to overcome the difficulty.
Chef Lee Yeon-bok, whom I trust, also had a hard time. While he worked tirelessly around the kitchen and quickly completed main dishes such as steamed chicken and mapo tofu, the beef and seaweed soup, the pride of Korean cuisine, caught his eye. The heating power was weak compared to the size of the soup pot, so the surimi did not work properly. Chef Lee Yeon-bok could not leave the seaweed soup until just before serving, as the texture of seaweed, which British people do not prefer, was in danger of being added to the texture of tough beef.
However, the meal time at Queen Elizabeth School, which made the entire food service group nervous, was approaching, and chef Lee Yeon-bok's number one concern, seaweed soup, received both favorable and harsh reviews, arousing interest. Some people encouraged their friends to try seaweed soup, while others responded honestly that it was the worst, so attention is being paid to whether the third challenge of the meal corps will be completed successfully.
