Lee Yeon-bok, Raymon Kim, and Jeong Ho-young's cooking "is at a different level"
In the 114th episode of MBC's 'It's a Good Thing We Don't Fight', which aired on the 6th, the story of three chefs, Lee Yeon-bok, Raymon Kim, and Jeong Ho-young, and their brothers Heo Jae and Kim Byeong-hyun were depicted.
On this day, three of Korea's best chefs headed to the island after receiving a mysterious invitation. They arrived at the island looking forward to seeing what ingredients the invitees had prepared and what kind of dishes they would make with them. However, brothers Heo Jae and Kim Byeong-hyun, who were waiting for them, instructed them to "make the kitchen first," and said, "We are the kids who need a lot of work," making them laugh.
The chefs' work continued even when it was time to do it myself. They went out on a boat and did some line fishing, and sometimes got hit by waves while sailing. Still, the three worked like crazy for fresh ingredients that they could only obtain through their own hands. Thanks to the chefs' passion, we have secured a variety of seafood such as abalone, oysters, turtle hands, sea cucumbers, and sea squirts.
Among them, there was a small one called the sea snail. Gunso is a seafood that even the village chief Ahn Jeong-hwan was not willing to prepare because it was so poisonous. But chefs were different. Japanese chef Jeong Ho-young easily created sweet and salty 'Gunso Boil'. ‘It’ll be a good thing if we don’t fight.’ Ahn Jung-hwan was also surprised by the first beef dish attempted.
Also, Rayman Kim, who was embarrassed by the lack of ingredients, tried making paella, a representative Spanish dish. In particular, he created 'Korean-style paella' using alternative ingredients even in harsh environments, such as adding ketchup instead of saffron to give it a red color. Chinese chef Lee Yeon-bok's 'Oyster Dumpling Soup' and spicy and sour 'Turtle Hand Seasoned' were added, and a luxurious Sumsulain table was finally prepared.
The Hok brothers, who had previously only eaten raw radishes on a deserted island, were happy throughout the meal thanks to the special cuisine prepared by chefs on a different level. Heo Jae poured out praise, saying, "Ahn Jung-hwan and Hyun Joo-yeop's dishes were delicious, but this is on a different level," and Kim Byeong-hyun said, "I want to stay with the chefs for another month."
Hoyoung Jeong tasted Raymon Kim’s paella. At this time, when Jeong Ho-young scooped up a spoonful of precious fish meat, Lee Yeon-bok looked envious, saying, "Buy the lottery ticket. Buy the lottery ticket."
Meanwhile, 'It's a Good Thing We Don't Fight' recorded a viewership rating of 7.4% (provided by Nielsen Korea, based on the metropolitan area), ranking first in its same time slot as a Monday entertainment program for 47 consecutive weeks. This is the highest viewership rating among all entertainment programs broadcast on Monday, and the 2049 viewership rating, which measures channel competitiveness, also ranked first among Monday entertainment programs in the same time slot.
