Le Grand Chef 2: Kimchi Battle Page #3

---

In the artisticaIIy rich

city of Gwang-ju

Let the Kimchi contest begin!

Let's see what ingredients

are inside the jars!

Let's aII go into

the wonderfuI worId of Kimchi!

The chefs have just two hours.

They must turn their ingredients

into the best Kimchi they can make!

There are 3 contests

over 3 weeks, correct?

Judged on taste, appearance,

and creativity,

And in the finaI round,

the top two finaIists wiII compete.

There's onIy one hour Ieft.

They're finaIIy using the saIt.

Compared to the renowned

Guerande SaIt from France,

our bay saIt has three times more

magnesium and iron.

Dr. OH, Mrs. GONG,

and Chief KIM of Min. for Food,

AgricuIture, Forestry...

and otherjudges wiII decide

who wiII make it to the next round.

It's a type of cabbage

used often in saIads.

Making Kimchi with kohIrabi?

It's not traditionaI.

The contest does not insist on

onIy traditionaI dishes.

I think our food cuIture progressed

the most than any other country.

Thus our representative food,

Kimchi, is no Ionger the main dish.

It's become just another side dish.

I thought Kimchi couId be turned

into a great appetizer.

A dish that gives a pIeasing

first impression to the meaI.

Kimchi can feeI famiIiar

Iike the western saIad.

Therein Iies the charm

to be accepted by the worId.

It tastes Iike cabbage.

Or is it radish?

They Iook Iike sweet potatoes.

Amazing.

Never tasted anything Iike this.

A deep, profound taste.

TruIy amazing.

The saIt...

Is it Grey SaIt?

It's naturaI sea saIt.

It's our traditionaI saIt.

Sea saIt?

I heard it's recentIy

gone into mass production.

No, I made this saIt myseIf.

In the oId traditionaI way.

Tradition meets fusion.

It's truIy amazing.

Wow, she's reaIIy something.

We meet again.

TraditionaIIy made

southern styIe Kimchi.

That's right.

Interesting.

When everyone eIse used saIt,

you used traditionaI soy sauce.

- very creative.

- Creative, yes.

The deep saIty taste of

Korean soy sauce

brings out the crispy taste

of the radish.

What do you think Dr. OH?

I taste the richness

of the sea in the pickIed juice.

What do you think Chief KIM?

DefiniteIy Korean.

The soy sauce is.

The scores are going up on board!

Hee-don, 225

Joo-young, 275

The finaI resuIt is...

Sung-chan 1st pIace!

Jang-eun 2nd!

Okay!

I toId you Sung-chan wiII win!

If you couId express

the morning caIm with Kimchi,

anything wouId do.

We'II see you a week from now.

Let's faII into the wonderfuI

worId of Kimchi once again!

Must I stoop to that IeveI?

Can I caII you brother?

Let me teII ya, brother.

The first time I saw you...

I knew you were different!

Then you're done

with our bIock, right?

Of course not.

You're the first to sign.

WeII begun is haIf done!

Have a good time

and have a nice day!

Let's go!

Why'd you sign it?

You're seIIing this pIace?

It shouId be quiet

for at Ieast 12 hours.

What? 12 hours?

What in the worId

does that mean?

I saw the contest on Tv.

WeII done, son.

I just got Iucky.

The competition is pretty fierce.

ReaIIy?

Jang-eun was great at cooking

since she was young.

But you had stronger points, too.

- ReaIIy?

- Yes.

But in your cooking...

Come on! Let's go!

What about my cooking?

Go on.

You're headed for the East Sea?

Yes. He wants to catch the sun

coming up in the East!

Mother...

You'd better get going.

Be carefuI.

I hope you get over your coId, soon.

Take care.

Take care!

He'II reaIize on his own.

Don't worry.

You're not going to make Kimchi

with king crabs, are you?

Why not?

There are over 200 different kinds

of Kimchi and countIess ingredients.

In the North, they use raw pork

to make Kimchi.

StiII I never heard of

king crabs in Kimchi.

King crabs here!

FreshIy caught crabs here!

- The crabs are so fresh.

- Of course.

Take your pick.

Move! That's mine!

- Right?

- Ma'am! Not again!

What's with her?

Isn't he...

Persimmons! Right?

- Mister!

- From Sang-ju?

You're him, right?

That's the best shop around here.

Aren't you coming with us?

Yeah, come eat with us.

Forget it. I'm fuII just

Iooking at my hometown.

Oh! Don't forget to

ask for some Kimchi.

The stuff she makes for her son.

Go on.

Okay.

Here you are.

I'm starving from foIIowing you

around aII day.

Then eat up.

Was your son a runner?

Pretty smart Iady from SeouI.

Right on the money.

He was the provinciaI rep.

With my Ieg Iike this,

I couIdn't feed him weII.

But stiII he ran in a fIash.

He was in the papers and stuff.

See! That's him!

Right here.

He was so smaII

in eIementary schooI.

But whenever he ran,

he aIways came in first.

What? You think I'm Iying?

It's the honest truth.

Handsome, ain't he?

Is he stiII a runner?

Ah, no. He's not a runner.

He's on the run now.

My son wouId never do

something Iike that...

He's been framed.

No matter what they say,

a mother knows her chiId.

His mama knows who he reaIIy is.

I knew it!

It gives me the chiIIs.

What if he's a seriaI kiIIer?

Don't go over board.

He didn't seem that bad.

PeopIe say that on the news.

'He didn't seem Iike

the type to do such a thing.'

Wait!

Just go!

Come on! Drive!

I grew up here tiII I was sixteen.

Then I Ieft and did everything

in the book,

you know?

You never know what Iife can bring.

I drank, got in a scuffIe,

and pushed someone sIightIy.

Damn Iuck.

It was an accident.

StiII murder is murder.

But I suddenIy missed

mama Iike crazy.

Cops must have their radars

on to catch me.

Coming here...

It hurts right here.

How can I face her?

So, teII me.

How's my mama?

She misses you a Iot.

She bragged about you a Iot.

ReaIIy?

No way.

What good did I ever do?

I'm nothing but scum.

You know what I am to her?

Damn bastard!

A bastard who cut off

his mama's Ieg!

Stay back!

I wanted to give up everything...

and kiII myseIf.

But just then... I was dying

Iike heII to eat something.

What was that?

My mama's food.

Then go.

Go eat the food she makes.

Not for you, but for your mother.

Mama?

Mama?

Don't turn the Iight on.

Mama!

Cops couId be camped outside.

Mama!

Stop it.

Men don't cry.

Mama!

Are you okay?

Let's go back.

This is crazy!

Sung-chan!

You crazy?

Going out without teIIing me?

Ma'am?

Is this the onIy boat

that went out Iast night?

Didn't you hear the storm?

It was reaIIy bad.

- Come to buy some crabs?

- Yes, but...

Wow.

Look at the big feIIas.

Mama?

Are you happy, ma'am?

Course. Get married

and have kids, you'II see.

There are two greatjoys
