Bar snack and spicy

This was a fun round because Eun Ji’s fridge required more tossing than using 🤣 she said in her case it was please clean my fridge😂 the funniest part of the usable items is that she had frozen meals by chef Hyun Seok that gave chef Kang Rok materials to use for dish. Chef Yeon Bok was his competitor. They both did an excellent job of making decent dishes with the unique array of items they had to use. The second round was spicy and here Jung Ji Seok competed with Kim Poong making spicy dishes. Poong was trying out his new pan to see if lucky or cursed. 😂 This was another fun round as items were scarce so when mistakes happened there was no backup or time to pivot. This was another fun round and winners were again surprises because guest ate lots of one dish to choose the other chef. So far, I have really enjoyed watching each round. I think chef Kang Rok seems to be too gentle a soul for this type of competition. He takes all the teasing good naturedly, but sometimes I find it more mean than funny, tho I don’t think intended to be that way.

Creamy and fine dining

Son Jong Win and Queen of dim sum join chefs. The guests for this episode Jang Won Young and Lee Eun Ji. One host scored big for daughter’s birthday getting an autograph from her favorite idol. For first challenge of creamy Hyun Seok goes against Matfia Napoli. The older chefs kept commenting how similar they were. Hyun Seok began his career the same year Matfia Napoli was born😝 steak vs pasta this round. JWY had an interesting pallet because she liked thing like goat cheese with chestnut honey. The chefs enjoyed the varied fresh produce and meats her fridge had. For the second round Son Jong Win and Sam Kim competed. Their round was of fine dining with plating being as important as taste. This was another fun episode with much joking and laughter. I learned women make dolphin noises when pleased with food😂

Beaten byJin Yao?????

Fan Yue, the Polar Region Demon King, getting taken down by Jin Yao of all people????? Sir, what was that? The writers hyped him up as this calm but all-powerful protector, and yet when the time came to show that power, he got folded like laundry. Where was the actual Polar Region energy????The audacity of the writers to give us this endlessly composed, terrifyingly empathetic king — only to nerf him when the narrative needed a bit of drama. I mean, I get it: plot twists, emotional stakes, vulnerability, yadda yadda. But still… Jin Yao? Fan Yue was out here giving us “emotionally mature man getting played like a rookie” and I was like SIR, you rule a realm. You have followers who’d die for you. You survived millennia of demon infighting. And this is the day you just… flop?I felt personally betrayed. Like I backed the wrong celestial stock. 😅🫣
