The story behind the birth revealed by '108kg Lee Jang-woo'...'He was from an incubator'
Jung Joon-ha, who conquered the eating broadcast world with his original knowledge, and Lee Jang-woo, a rising eating star who was noted as a palm oil prince, met in Ganghwa Island. Both of them have the pleasure of eating and their affection for cooking (or eating) to the point where they are sad. As it turns out, the two are real friends who have known each other for a long time in addition to broadcasting, and in fact, Jung Joon-ha drew attention by running without hesitation to Jang-woo's love call despite his busy schedule. In the sea of early summer, the two pulled up their nets, harvested clams from mudflats, and engaged in a subtle war of nerves to find better treasure. The moments when laughter and tension intersect and the cooking process are also eye-catching.

The two of them made crispy soup with freshly pulled rockfish and even completed a cool Sanghaptang boiled with their own Sanghap clam. However, when Jang-woo's newly created menu appeared on the spot, Jung Joon-ha left a surprising tasting comment, saying, `This is very unexpected.' You can see what the identity and taste of the menu Lee Jang-woo created on the spot, on today's broadcast (7th).

Lee Jang-woo entered Treasure Island with his two feet Why did you crawl on all fours?




Now it's time to meet the hidden master of Ganghwa Island and learn the recipe. However, at the age of 76, she showed an unusual appearance from the morning hiking trail. When I got to the middle of the mountain, I suddenly put my hands on the ground and started walking on all fours... This is what I've only heard. 'Walking with four legs'?! Lee Jang-woo, who has a good physique, and even the production team in her 20s, climbed to the top of the mountain at a speed that was difficult to catch up with, surprising everyone by showing 180-degree leg splits and handstands at hidden secret spots. Jang-woo's struggle and master's anti-war athleticism beyond imagination, who constantly followed mountaineering such as guerrilla training, are expected to bring viewers a big smile.

The master's food that has finally been revealed is turnip kimchi. Turnip, Ganghwa Island's representative specialty, is divided into likes and dislikes for its pungent nose-tipping taste, but turnip kimchi, which went through a master's hand, has been reborn as kimchi with a completely different dimension with its unique pungent scent turning into a tantalizing taste. On the other hand, in the process of receiving the secret seasoning ratio and taste of the master, Lee Jang-woo faced a new 'all-time treasure' ingredient that he had never tried before. The identity of this enormous ingredient, which led to the boycott of barley corvina (?) announcement of the boycott of barley corvina, can be found in MBC's Chuseok special , which airs at 8:10 p.m. on Tuesday, October 7th.
