'The Ttubungi Taste Troop' Kwon Yul, Yeon Woo-jin, and Lee Jung-shin fall into a collective panic due to the communication barrier at a restaurant in the affluent district of Florence and an uncompromising staff member's 'collaboration catastrophe.'
The episode of 'The Ttubungi Taste Troop,' co-produced by Channel S and SK Broadband, airing today at 9:20 p.m., features a healing trip in Saturnia, boasting breathtaking natural scenery, and a chaotic dinner showcasing the representative affluent village of Florence, Fiesole. Kwon Yul, Yeon Woo-jin, and Lee Jung-shin head to a quiet local restaurant on the hillside of Fiesole at the recommendation of locals. However, their expectations for authentic Italian cuisine quickly plummet as they face a storm of difficulties starting from the order stage due to the communication barrier with the staff. When Yeon Woo-jin asks, 'Do you have an English menu?', the staff firmly responds, 'NO,' leaving the three in confusion. The restaurant was a local favorite with no tourists, making communication possible only in Italian.
The three struggle to communicate using a translator, but things do not go as planned, and eventually, the eldest, Kwon Yul, steps in to place the order after an arduous communication effort. However, the crisis does not end there. When Lee Jung-shin carefully requests, 'Please prepare the steak rare,' the staff replies, 'We'll handle the cooking,' delivering another uncompromising remark. Kwon Yul comments, 'Overall, it doesn't feel friendly for customers,' with a bitter opinion. Lee Jung-shin tries to mediate, saying, 'We also have cantankerous grandmothers in Korea. It's a style, right?' However, Kwon Yul retorts, 'But that person isn't a grandmother, right?' expressing his grievance.
Meanwhile, an unexpected 'surprising character' captures the hearts of the three Ttubungi members in this broadcast. In particular, Kwon Yul shows signs of being smitten, saying, 'I think I need to make them the fourth member of the Ttubungi Taste Troop.' Yeon Woo-jin humorously confesses, 'Since they're not cooperating well, I might get cut,' eliciting laughter. How will the unpredictable dinner for the three conclude, and who is the 'unexpected protagonist' that stole the Ttubungi members' hearts? It remains to be seen.
