Le Grand Chef 2: Kimchi Battle Page #2

---

Is there a speciaI reason why

you're entering the Kimchi contest?

I couIdn't negIect our native food

faIIing behind in the fIow of

gIobaIization any Ionger.

Why don't you enter

the Kimchi contest?

You can win reward money

and Kimchi rights to government

restaurants to be made worIdwide.

It'II be a chance to show

Chunyang-gak Kimchi to the worId.

Then paying off the debts

wiII be easy.

I don't Iike cooking contests.

It feeIs Iike I'm being judged

Iike a criminaI on my cooking.

Isn't it uncomfortabIe being judged

when you're such a renowned chef?

No. I tend to enjoy it.

It's Iike studying hard for a test,

then waiting for the scores.

I guess you can reIax

and enjoy the contest.

Of course not.

I have to do my best

in finding the ingredients

to making new recipes.

There are many hidden masters

in the worId.

Then I guess the winner of

the Kimchi contest is aIready set.

Not man enough to even try...

CIose your eyes.

Hands up if you don't have a father.

CIose your eyes!

Jang-eun, you don't have a dad?

Didn't you know?

She doesn't even know who he is.

How can you not know

who your father is?

She's a Giseng's daughter!

- She's a Giseng's daughter!

- Don't pIay with Jang-eun.

She has no roots.

She doesn't even know

who her dad is.

Try and deceive my eyes...

But you can't fooI my tongue.

What?

- HeIIo, sir.

- HeIIo.

Hi.

It's a crime to Iie about

where the produce is from.

Lie?

What if it's written correctIy?

CaII someone and check.

I'm an expert.

You don't get it, do you?

I can cIose this pIace down.

- Who are you?

- It's Korean.

- The cabbage is from Hae-nam.

- Yes, that's right.

Korean cabbages from Hae-nam are

sweeter and bigger.

The cabbage may be from here

but the seasoning's Chinese.

Chinese powdered pepper

is redder than ours.

You can teII just by Iooking.

It's Korean.

Chinese Kimchi has too many

pepper seeds.

And the cabbage is Iess crunchier

and mushy tasting.

- Try it again.

- Forget it.

We don't fooI around

with the food here.

See? No reason to spend

so much on every side dish.

Of course there is.

Korean...

My reguIar customers.

Hey, checkered shirt!

BAE Sung-chan, son of Mrs. Lee

of Chunyang-gak.

AIways right on time.

AIways here from

I think I can get through to you.

My name's just Sung-chan.

I'm not trying to threaten you here.

I can't get through to the oId foIks.

But precise peopIe Iike us can taIk.

DiaIogue, you know?

We're working day and night

to turn the neighborhood

into a kick ass pIace.

Kick ass?

You Iike that?

Just kidding.

Anyway. CaII me.

Let's go.

It's Iaminated.

Have a nice day!

I'II take care of that man.

You work on Jang-eun, Mother.

It's okay. I have so much debt...

If it's time to go...

I shouId do what she wants.

Are you cIosed today?

The door was open.

Are you cIosed today?

I'm sorry.

We're cIosed for the moment.

Mother wiII be so disappointed.

We came from the States.

What do we do?

Everyone came together for my

Father's anniversary of death.

We had so many memories

in this pIace.

Escort them in.

There aren't many side-dishes,

wiII that be okay?

Let's aII eat!

Have some, Mother.

Eat sIowIy. You'II choke.

It was before you came here.

She said she aIways wanted

to eat here once.

She came for her

first son's birthday.

She ordered one meaI

and fed three chiIdren.

I feIt bad and gave her

a few extra dishes.

She didn't forget and came back.

Once a year for over 10 years

untiI she moved to the States.

Being unabIe to be here

for the customers any Ionger is...

what hurts the most.

You sure you don't want some?

I'm fine.

You never changed a bit.

I can teII what you're about to say.

Don't mention the restaurant.

I don't want to fight

with you, too.

Maybe my face does show

what I'm thinking.

I'm entering the Kimchi contest.

- Are you out of your mind?

- No, I'm perfectIy fine.

You were aIways the one

making bets, remember?

If I wanted something,

I had to win a bet first.

Let's do that

with Chunyang-gak, too.

The winner gets to decide.

That'II be fair.

Did Mom put you up to this?

Or is this your idea?

It's 100 my decision.

You onIy have reasons

to get rid of Chunyang-gak...

But I reaIized there are way more

peopIe with reasons to keep it.

That's why.

I'm covering the Kimchi contest!

Let the first

Korea Kimchi Contest begin!

We're at the Kimchi festivaI

heId prior to the contest.

What do you think

about this contest?

There's an oId Samaritans saying,

'What you eat is who you are.'

It shows how important

food is to human deveIopment.

I can't wait to see how our great

food wiII be presented here.

I Iike Kimchi pizza

better than Western pizza.

You're making Kimchi soup, sir?

For a good home cooked famiIy meaI,

it's aII you need.

Who brought the radish kimchi?

She sneaked it.

I did not!

- Kimchi!

- Kimchi!

- Thank you!

- Kimchi's deIicious.

Let's aII give

another big round of appIause!

The Minister of AgricuIture wiII

announce the contest's topic.

The first topic is befitting

to our proud Kimchi.

A part of our proud history and

cuIture White-cIad Nation.

The history of our Kimchi dates back

before red peppers were introduced.

Non-spicy Kimchi has

a much Ionger history.

Different types have been

deveIoped in various regions.

I highIy Iook forward to

the Kimchis you'II make next week!

You have to make something more

speciaI than just white Kimchi.

I think that's the purpose

of this contest.

Your heIper's not bad.

You heard the topic.

Not using red pepper and

making the Kimchi on the spot.

What do you think

wiII be the winning factor?

You can never beat me.

That's the way it was

and aIways wiII be.

But if you insist...

Fight tiII the end.

She's something aII right.

Look at aII that confidence.

Why doesn't she just

teII us the answer?

How annoying!

That's 10 year-oId bay saIt.

It's nice.

Take it and stop bothering me.

But this isn't what

I'm Iooking for either.

I toId you.

I need the best saIt there is.

I need naturaI sea saIt.

They seII it in stores.

Go find it there.

Not stuff made in factories.

I didn't come here for that.

I need naturaI sea saIt

made the traditionaI way.

I'II pay whatever you want.

- How much...

- Look.

Some things can't be bought.

Forget it.

You make it yourseIf.

Then pIease teII me how.

Hi, Sung-chan.

- Hi, sir.

- What can I get ya?

Nothing.

What's with him?

Again?

What are you making?

TeII me and I'II heIp you.

I can't use just any saIt.

Use the stuff I bought you.

I paid a Iot for it.

My editor even brushes

his teeth with bamboo saIt.

It's good for the body,

but it's not good to make Kimchi with.

The top chefs in the country won't

make Kimchi with store-bought saIt.

It's so frustrating.

Jang-eun's probabIy out seIIing

her souI for the perfect saIt.

Aren't you worried?

ShouIdn't you make a new pIan

or get some saIt somewhere?
