Comedian Kim Min-kyung and former baseball player Lee Dae-ho engage in an ‘eating show’ competition.

The two will go on a search for new flavors in Daegu, the city of gastronomy, along with Lee Young-ja and Park Se-ri, on tvN STORY entertainment program ‘What’s Left Behind ‘, which will air on the 25th.

Kim Min-kyung, who has been working as a Daegu public relations ambassador since 2021, is actively promoting her hometown of Daegu by introducing food with special affection and pride for the city, and is fully active as a’ daughter of Daegu.’

Lee Dae-ho, who showed off his unique sports club mukbang during the last Yangpyeong Gourmet Tour and returned with high satisfaction, is raising viewers’ expectations by demonstrating his true worth as the youngest among the ‘eating queen’ sisters.

At the first restaurant, Daegu-style water ribs, which even Daegu native Kim Min-kyung is trying for the first time, appear and catch the eye.
The visually rich Mulgalbi, made with a herbal medicine broth that removes unpleasant odors, is made with plenty of vegetables, seafood, thinly sliced meat, and even whole octopus, and is a steamed galbi, 180 degrees different from the Jeonju-style Mulgalbi, drawing attention.In addition, the freshness and chewiness of the stone octopus marinated sashimi and whole fried octopus raise expectations.

Min-kyung Kim’s secret tip of wrapping flat dumplings with pickled vegetables and deep-fried octopus is added to further heat up the competition at the dinner table.After finishing off the meal with fried rice with octopus ink added to the remaining broth, we visit a dessert cafe chosen by ‘Daegu native’ Min-kyung Kim for dessert.

Kim Min-kyung, who confidently steps forward, presents a unique dessert that won the grand prize at the ‘Daegu Signature Dessert Contest’ with a recipe using Daegu’s representative food, captivating the taste buds of the 2 MCs and foodie friend Lee Dae-ho, arousing their curiosity.

Meanwhile, while waiting for dessert, an arm wrestling match(?) between Lee Young-ja and Kim Min-kyung unfolds.While even athlete Lee Dae-ho is amazed by Kim Min-kyung’s strength, which is like that of a professional arm wrestler, curiosity is rising as to who will win the match between the senior and junior comedians who are evenly matched in both eating and strength.

For the second course, we will visit a restaurant that has become a proper noun for ‘Daegu Makchang’, and among them, they attract attention by adhering to a special method.

The second restaurant, which matures the intestines in lotus leaf powder and stores them in lotus leaves to keep them clean and provide a richer taste, piques the curiosity of viewers by even unsealing MC Seri’s chopsticks, who was strongly averse to the smell of the intestines.Not only has the gamey smell been removed with a special secret recipe, but the intestines, which have a sweet special makjang with the ‘natural digestive’ odi, are also captivating the taste buds as a samhap with gwanja and white kimchi.

MC Youngja will show off her ‘Eat Professor’ moment and bring laughter to the guests at the next table by explaining to them why Daegu Makchang is famous, while Lee Daeho, who volunteered to be a ‘chopstick’ after becoming a ‘chopstick lover’ during the Yangpyeong food tour as a punishment, will once again be holding a pair of tongs and scissors and will bring laughter as he cannot escape the ‘chopstick lover’ role this time as well due to the endless chopstick fighting of the 2 MCs and Kim Min-kyung.
