SBS's 'Jungle Bob 2 - Caribbean Bob' has dazzled audiences with its rich array of Caribbean ingredients and exotic recipes, culminating in a spectacular finale for the season.
In the last episode of 'Caribbean Bob' aired on the 22nd, Ryu Soo-young ventured into a traditional market in the city of Bani to procure goat meat 'Chivo', creating an unconventional goat gamjatang. Opting for the goat ribs, he remarked, "Koreans love their soups," thus crafting a special Caribbean twist on the dish. Substituting potatoes with local yuca for a chewier texture, the dish captivated the taste buds of the members, earning rave reviews.
Dessert duty was taken up by Yoon Nam-no. Utilizing freshly harvested 100% cacao, he whipped up a chocolate mousse topped with orange, starfruit, and papaya, and added a splash of boiled rum for an extra depth of flavor. Ryu Soo-young, upon tasting, couldn't help but put his spoon down exclaiming, "Wow, this is really delicious," with Lee Joon and Kim Ok-bin also showering praises. Watching this in the studio, DIN DIN expressed his envy, saying, "That's a taste we'll never get to experience, I'm so jealous." Yoon Nam-no then recreated the chocolate mousse in the studio, drawing admiration once again.
Yoon Nam-no's unexpected charm was also a topic of conversation. Lee Joon, watching Yoon Nam-no munch on corn, commented, "Nam-no is so cute," surprised by his different demeanor. Ryu Soo-young joked, "He's like a middle schooler from a cartoon," and when Yoon Nam-no playfully responded with "Meat side dish!" Lee Joon laughed, "The Nam-no I had in mind is totally different. Day by day, he's turning into a middle schooler right before our eyes."
On the final day, the members prepared a special feast. Kim Ok-bin and Lee Joon returned with Creole fish for the Lailing family, and Lailing's mother, Elisa, gifted them a 40kg giant tuna. Ryu Soo-young prepared a tuna tail stew, while Yoon Nam-no showcased a carpaccio and guacamole, completing a Caribbean-style spread. Kim Ok-bin also contributed by frying potato pancakes, enriching the menu. Ryu Soo-young expressed his gratitude, "I'll never forget how you've taken care of us like family," and Yoon Nam-no also shared his sentiment, "Being able to cook in front of the beach, (I'm thankful.) This kitchen will forever be remembered as a romantic memory."
Meanwhile, 'Caribbean Bob' is a program that traverses the boundaries between labor and gourmet, capturing the journey of foraging, fishing, and cooking amidst the scenic beauty of the Caribbean. This season has offered viewers a unique cultural culinary experience and warmth, heightening anticipation for the next gourmet adventure.
