ChefEdward Leeexpressed his bittersweet feelings as his 15-day journey across Korea came to an end.
On their last evening in Yeosu, Edward Lee suggested they make gimbap and tteokbokki for dinner.
He explained, The first thing I do when I come to Korea is eat tteokbokki.
Thats how much I love the taste.
It’s filled with memories.I wanted to cook something everyone could enjoy together.
The homemade-style samgyeopsal gimbap and eel gimbap were also big hits.
Thats my dream and fantasy, showing just how deeply he had fallen in love with Korea.
What Ive learned is fermenting in my mind.
Maybe later, ideas will come.
But Im not planning anything specific.
Im just letting it sit in my head.
Edward Lee also asked each member about their favorite meal from the trip.
For him, it was “tonight’s dinner.”
He said, We werent that close in the beginning.
Now, were really close, and Ive made such great friends, so this meal is the best.
I wanted them to cook not like amateurs but like real chefs.
The members, now feeling a sense of responsibility, studied their recipes carefully and gave it their all.
Edward Lees pick for the top chef among them was Go Ah Sung.
He continued, Ah Sung is truly an amazing chef, sparing no praise.
Byun Yo Han admitted, For some reason, I didnt feel like cooking.
Still, their final meal came together beautifully.
The food was so delicious that it drew laughter.
My American friends joke after watching this show, You really eat like a Korean.
Hearing that makes me happy.
It makes me feel closer to Korea, and thats part of why Im here now.
But this trip has changed my perspective again.
This is real Korean food, he said, summing up his thoughts on the 15-day journey.
