'Master' Ahn Yoo-sung has newly joined 'Sadang-gwi.'
In the 25th episode of KBS2's 'Sadang-gwi,' 'the father of sushi' Ahn Yoo-sung joined as a new master.
That day, Ahn Yoo-sung explained, "I am the only active Japanese cuisine master. The master is recognized by the president and the country," and he noted, "Sometimes it takes 5 years to emerge. In over 40 years, only 17 have emerged. Among the masters, I am the youngest."
Ahn Yoo-sung then declared a differentiation from the famous chefs who have appeared on 'Sadang-gwi' until now, saying, "Chef Jeong Ho-young currently has no license, and Chef Jeong Ji-seon is someone I trained on the show." After criticizing, "Chef Choi Hyun-suk is only tall and only adds salt," he surprised everyone by revealing, "But I was shocked to learn that Chef Choi Hyun-suk was born in '72. He is my age," and he publicized that he shares the same age as Yoo Jae-suk.
Moreover, he abruptly shouted at Park Myung-soo, "Brother Myung-soo!" The person who was flustered was none other than Park Myung-soo. Born in '70, Park Myung-soo looks older, but when Ahn Yoo-sung, born in '72, called him brother, he exclaimed, "Wait a minute. You're younger than me?" and then jokingly said, "Oh my, let's dye our hair in the future," which evoked laughter.
Afterward, Ahn's daily life was revealed. A chef for 35 years, Ahn Yoo-sung claimed, "Actually, I am a very hip and hot master," adding, "I am very popular among the MZ generation." He also mentioned owning glasses worth several thousand won. Operating a total of four restaurants, including a Pyongyang cold noodle shop, a beef soup shop, a meat shop, and a Japanese restaurant, he has developed relationships with many celebrities like Kenny G, Yoo Jae-suk, and Heo Young-man, and continued to maintain connections with former presidents such as Kim Dae-jung, Roh Moo-hyun, and Moon Jae-in. He even mentioned that a street is being created in his name. In response, Kim Sook remarked, "Isn't it something like Boss Kim Byung-hyun?" but Ahn responded firmly, "Don't compare it to that, the scale of operations is completely different," eliciting laughter.
He revealed that his current main focus is a Japanese restaurant with an indoor area of 220 pyeong, asserting that he sees himself as a boss with "a kind and warm fatherly feeling," while employees described him as "inconsistent," "a bundle of desire," "arrogantly proud of being a master," "an uncomfortable boss," and "a volcanic boss," attracting attention.
When leaving his home, he was dressed in luxury shoes and glasses. When asked, "Why do you go to work like that?" he humorously replied, "The badge is solid gold." He then spent 30 minutes polishing the master's plaque located in front of his store, catching attention. However, he was the only one who showed up for work.
While preparing for business, Ahn Yoo-sung mentioned, "Lunch needs to have 320 grains of rice," referring to the grains of rice. In response, Kim Sook asked, "Is there another reason for that?" Ahn answered, "Lunch is a meal, so it's necessary to eat more, whereas dinner is usually accompanied by alcohol, so the rice grains are reduced. My teacher actually served Chairman Lee Byung-chul, and that has become the standard that has been passed down," revealing an actual example from 'The Youngest Son of a Conglomerate.'
Thirty minutes before lunch service, Master Ahn checked the dishes at the guest table. The menu included seafood rice bowl, assorted sushi, and lettuce tempura rice bowl. He was tasting the key menu items before the service. He made sharp criticisms of the dishes and directed the staff, and afterward, the restaurant recorded full capacity as soon as it opened.
During a break time, Master Ahn brought out a tuna worth 10 million won. Although it was served as a step mill dish, the employees expressed their discomfort, saying, "There are also dinner guests," and "Honestly, I don't know who this is for." In response, Master Ahn showed his anger, saying, "Even if I do well, they react like this."
