On the upcoming episode of SBS's 'Jungle Bob 2', airing on the 10th, the grand journey to conquer Peruvian ingredients finally comes to an end. From the Pacific Ocean to the Amazon, the final culinary expedition unfolds in the highlands of Cusco, promising an epic finale. Viewers are eager to see what culinary adventures await.
In particular, the story behind 'K-Home Cooking Master' Ryu Soo-young's emotional moment during the fine dining challenge will be revealed.
During the filming, Ryu Soo-young was tasked with the main dish for a 20-person fine dining challenge in the highlands. As plates emptied faster than expected and unforeseen mishaps occurred, he found himself in a tough spot. Known for his confidence in cooking, Ryu faced a mental breakdown during his first fine dining attempt, eventually leading to tears. The anticipation builds around what dish he crafted with blood, sweat, and tears, and whether it will impress the local palate.
Meanwhile, the culinary treasure trove of Cusco, frequented by top 1% celebrity chefs, is unveiled. Chef Choi Hyun-seok, who often emphasizes that "ingredients are above chefs," made sure to visit this place upon arriving in Cusco. This is none other than the Urubamba market, visited by culinary legend Gordon Ramsay.
Chef Choi was particularly inspired by the over 4,500 varieties of potatoes, known for their unique taste and appearance, found in the high-altitude regions of Peru. His excitement and creativity were sparked, leaving everyone curious about the ingredients he chose and the legendary dish he will create.
Additionally, 'K-Home Cooking Master' Ryu Soo-young takes on a mission to serve 100 meals, presenting an extraordinary Korean menu. He aims to captivate the taste buds of 100 local elementary school students in Cusco. Notably, he uses the local staple 'guinea pig' to create a Korean-style Andong Jjimdak, drawing attention. His tips for enhancing the sweet and savory flavors and eliminating any gamey taste will be shared. Chef Choi Hyun-seok, after tasting the dish, reportedly praised Ryu, saying, "When it comes to home cooking, Ryu Soo-young is above me." Whether the guinea pig Andong Jjimdak will win over the 100 Peruvian students remains to be seen on the broadcast.
The final culinary journey of Ryu Soo-young, Choi Hyun-seok, Choi Daniel, and Kim Ok-bin in 'Jungle Bob 2' will air on Thursday, the 10th, at 9 PM.
