'Hangout With Yoo' Ju Woo-jae appeared as Black Spoon 'the cooking bone', perfectly replicating White Spoon chef Jang Ho-jun's recipe and winning the cooking contest.
The MBC entertainment program 'Hangout With Yoo' broadcast on the 7th (directed by Kim Jin-yong, Lee Joo-won, Ahn Ji-seon, Bang Sung-su, Park Eun-jin, written by Noh Min-seon) was presented as the "It's dangerous outside the blanket" episode. Yu Jae-seok, Haha, Heo Kyunghwan, Ju Woo-jae and Kim Kwang-kyu were shown playing a bet of flipping the blanket and tasting Tongyeong cuisine while taking a warm rest during the cold wave advisory.
The episode recorded a 4.4% household rating in the metropolitan area. The 20-54 rating, a core channel competitiveness indicator reflecting changes in media consumption, recorded 2.8%, continuing its run as the No. 1 Saturday entertainment program. The top one minute was the scene of Jang Ho-jun and Ju Woo-jae enjoying molmegitang after their cooking contest, with the peak minute rating soaring to 5.6%. (Nielsen Korea metropolitan standard)
Gathered in a warm ondol room, the five men ignited their competitive spirit in a bet sparked by Yu Jae-seok's curiosity. The bet was whether it would be faster to eat jajangmyeon via delivery or to go to the restaurant and eat it there. The stakes grew when Jin's team agreed to pay for meals for more than 50 staff members. Sensitive to the large expenditure, Yu Jae-seok, Haha and Kim Kwang-kyu chose "restaurant," while Heo Kyunghwan and Ju Woo-jae chose "delivery," and the bet officially began.
The "restaurant" team that ran outside lost time struggling to search for the navigation destination. While Yu Jae-seok, who was driving, fumbled and argued, the "delivery" team quickly completed their order but grew anxious when the expected delivery time showed 38 minutes during the lunch peak. After twists and turns, the "restaurant" team arrived at the restaurant, placed a super-fast order, and cheered when the food came out in three minutes.
While the "restaurant" team was inhaling the food, the "delivery" team was again flustered by an unexpected variable: they were assigned a car delivery instead of a motorcycle. The "restaurant" team, having finished their meal, also faced an embarrassing delay in payment due to a card terminal malfunction. Finally receiving the food, the "delivery" team, with staff warriors even deployed, aggressively devoured the meal, but the returning "restaurant" team seized on the fact that Ju Woo-jae had not yet swallowed his food and proclaimed victory. Heo Kyunghwan teased, "Are you ruminating?" and in the end Ju Woo-jae paid for 50 staff meals with his personal card.
Next, chef Jang Ho-jun, a TOP 5 of 'Culinary Class Wars 1' and, like Heo Kyunghwan, from Tongyeong, appeared to take charge of the cooking. The ingredients were fresh Tongyeong seafood sent by Heo Kyunghwan's friends. Among them, Ju Woo-jae, curious about how much difference there would be if an ordinary person exactly followed what the chef did, proposed a contest. In response, Jang Ho-jun expressed confidence, saying, "Why would I (compete with that person)?" while teasing Ju Woo-jae.
Fueled by competitiveness, Ju Woo-jae copied everything about Jang Ho-jun. When Jang Ho-jun measured with a ladle, Ju Woo-jae calculated the ladle's width and meticulously replicated even the number of times ingredients were stirred, showing the traits of an engineering-type man. Thus, White Spoon chef Jang Ho-jun's and Black Spoon "the cooking bone" Ju Woo-jae's molmegitang were completed, and the members conducted a blind taste test wearing eye masks. Yu Jae-seok performed the taste evaluation boasting an overly prominent eager mouth, and an unexpectedly razor-thin result came out.
The result was 3-1, and it was the victory of Ju Woo-jae, the "the cooking bone" who had boasted, "I know the brothers' tastes." Only Heo Kyunghwan, drawn by the familiar taste of Tongyeong, chose Jang Ho-jun. Jang Ho-jun elicited laughter by serving the molmegitang made by Ju Woo-jae to those who did not choose him in a petty revenge. The members ended the day warmly by tasting grilled yellow croaker and Tongyeong tendon dishes.
Meanwhile, in the next episode preview, the appearance of the strange new member Park Myung-soo, who suddenly showed up at the urgent flash meeting of the "Comma, club," drew attention. Yu Jae-seok, Haha, Heo Kyunghwan, Ju Woo-jae, and Jung Jun-ha and Park Myung-soo together raised expectations about what chemistry the laughter-guaranteed "Comma, club" will show.
