Chef Jisun Jeong will form an alliance with Executive Chef Jongcheol Shin of a 5-star hotel on the ‘Sadanggwi’ broadcast on Sunday, December 29. In particular, Jung Ji-sun consistently expresses her anger on behalf of Executive Chef Shin Jong-chul, raising curiosity about what happened between the two.
On this day, when the food ingredient inspection process involving Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and even bakery chefs appeared, Jung Ji-sun said, “I think this is a really good opportunity for the employees,” and focused more immersively than anyone else. In particular, Executive Chef Shin Jong-chul surprises everyone by making a bold decision to return all of the LA ribs if there is even a 0.1 mm error from the 1 cm thickness he set for them. Here, Jung Ji-sun supported the new chef‘s position, saying, “Even in dim sum, there’s a big difference of 1 to 2 grams,” and gave him strength.
In the end, Jung Ji-sun, who got too immersed like a reality show panelist, kept getting angry, saying, “You have to go harder,” and “I did more than the new chef,” but Park Myung-soo repeatedly relaxed, saying, “You don‘t have to get too excited.” In the end, Jung Ji-sun said, “I got immersed without realizing it,” and laughed at the roller coaster-like emotional ups and downs.
On the other hand, Chef Shin Jong-chul praised his own visuals, saying, “I’m the Byun Woo-seok of the chef world.” In particular, to the confident attitude of Executive Chef Shin Jong-chul, who said, “I’m better than Ahn Sung-jae and Choi Hyun-seok,” Park Myung-soo shook his head and said, “Everyone becomes more delusional whenever the word ‘Sadanggwi’ comes out,” causing the audience to burst into laughter. We can see how Jeon Hyun-moo and Park Myung-soo reacted to Executive Chef Shin Jong-chul’s remark, “The Byun Woo-seok of the chef world,” on the episode of ‘Sadanggwi’ that airs on Sunday, December 29.
Meanwhile, KBS 2TV’s ‘The Boss’s Ears Are Donkey Ears’ airs every Sunday at 4:40 PM.
