Comedians Kim Min-kyung and Yoo Min-sang Embark on a Culinary Journey in 'Am I a Big Eater?'

Comedian Yoo Min-sang brought laughter with his witty remarks.

On the October 15th episode of Comedy TV's 'Am I a Big Eater?', Kim Min-kyung and Yoo Min-sang traveled between Ulsan and Daegu, indulging in their culinary preferences.

Kim Min-kyung's first stop was a renowned bakery in Jung-gu, Ulsan, famous among locals for its delectable treats. The bakery offered a variety of desserts, including Hong Kong-style egg tarts, financiers, and the Dubai series. Kim expressed her delight, describing the egg tart as "nutty, soft, and sweet," and chose it as her pick of the day.

Yoo Min-sang then visited a seafood restaurant in Daegu, where a lavish spread of aged sashimi, red sea cucumber, conch, sea squirt, abalone, and oysters awaited. Tasting each dish, Yoo marveled at the freshness, especially praising the seasonal yellowtail, saying, "It melts in your mouth. Hurry and try it while it's in season." He humorously added, "Why is it called yellowtail? To protect me in winter," drawing laughter. Yoo's pick of the day was a wrap of yellowtail, white kimchi, and seaweed, recommended by the restaurant owner.

Kim Min-kyung also visited a handmade pork rib restaurant in Daegu's Deulan-gil food district. The table was filled with various side dishes, prompting Kim to wonder, "How do they make so many delicious side dishes every day?" She enjoyed the pork ribs on freshly cooked mulberry leaf rice, exclaiming, "The side dishes are overshadowed by the main dish," and continued her satisfying meal with wraps. The aged kimchi, made in-house, was best enjoyed torn apart with rice. Kim, impressed by the generous spread, remarked, "I should bring my mom here," and chose the pork rib set as her pick of the day.

Yoo Min-sang explored a Daegu specialty, a restaurant known for its 'Mungtigi' (raw beef). The restaurant offered both rump and skirt steak versions. When the seaweed soup was served as a basic side, Yoo praised the owner, calling them a "taste expert." The owner recommended eating the skirt steak wrapped in seaweed with radish sprouts and special sauce, which Yoo found delightful, saying, "I'm already torn about my pick of the day." Ultimately, he chose the skirt steak wrap as his pick, joking, "Eat ginger and think," as he added ginger to the wrap.

Finally, Kim Min-kyung visited a restaurant famous for Daegu's local dish, 'Muchimhoe' (spicy raw fish salad), which has been operating since the 1980s. Known as the starting point of the Bango-gogae Muchimhoe Alley, the restaurant offered squid muchimhoe and flat dumplings, Kim's favorites among Daegu's top 10 dishes. The squid muchimhoe, mixed with a special sauce, combined sweet, sour, spicy, and nutty flavors, complemented by boiled pork, flat dumplings, and water parsley pancakes. Kim enjoyed mixing the muchimhoe with rice, declaring it "completely my style," and selected the set menu as her pick of the day.

'Am I a Big Eater?' airs every Sunday at 10 a.m. on Comedy TV.
