Grand Chef recap Ep19—an overview, but with everything included, not necessarily in the order it happened. If you have any specific questions, ask me.
Sung-chan goes to the restaurant where Jin-soo now works, and stands outside screaming that he has Jin-soo watermelon for sale. J-S goes out and gives him a lipful, but her boss happens to know S-C, and S-C promises to send him food presents for his pregnant wife. The boss suddenly realizes that S-C and J-S are an item and are having a lover’s quarrel. He is amused. Particularly at Jin-soo’s muttered comment, “I’m a watermelon? Call me a potato, why don’t you.”
Chef Oh comes out of the hospital. He is worried.
Joo-hee, Bong-ju and others all go to the grand opening of a new “branch” in Gangwon. VERY fancy. Chef Oh has stayed home with no explanation, after asking J-H to call Sung-chan for him.
Chef visits Sung-chan at the street in front of the restaurant and asks S-C to take him to Gangwon to go trout fishing. Chef Oh finds out about the pregnant wife (I think they all know each other) and tells S-C they’ll send him fresh trout. S-C calls the owner, tells him he’ll bring the trout, but the owner tells S-C he has a strong employee that he will send to pick it up. Much to Jin-soo’s resentment, he asks her to take a “business trip” to pick up fish. Chef Oh and S-C, fishing by the river (and discussing S-C’s future), see J-S walking by. S-C tries to talk with her, but she’s annoyed and walks to the place she is supposed to meet “the guy,” calls her boss, finds out his trick. J-S comes to fish with S-C and Chef Oh. Chef Oh insists they go to a local trout soup restaurant. The owner never shows up. J-S is going to take the fish to her boss on the bus, and S-C drives her there. Chef Oh calls his friend and finds out she’s stranded. S-C turns his truck around to get her. J-S and S-C argue in the truck as S-C is speeding, and just as he tells her, nothing will happen, he blows a tire. Watermelon and her two fish fly out the back of the truck. A woman (Chef’s friend) runs up to them scolding, and pushes a pin into each fish. It is acupuncture to put them to sleep so they can be transported on ice and not die. J-S then sends it by messenger, so she can have soup with the others. The soup is so wonderful S-C insists on knowing the recipe, but the lady refuses to tell. (Chef Oh had lost a cooking duel to her in their youth, and she never tells the recipe to anyone.) S-C says if he figures it out, J-S has to go back to being a reporter.
Many many many soup pots later, Sung-chan almost has the right mixture, but the soup lady says he’s an idiot, he doesn’t know the basics. He realizes he needs the local water that the trout live in and goes to get some. Then she admits he got it right. Chef then asks the lady to challenge S-C to a duel of trout recipes. S-C wins because she “cheats”—she leaves out a key ingredient, in order to surrender her bet. This is two tickets to the amusement park of Chairman Jang. S-C and J-S have a fun time there. For lunch, J-S wants to go on the cable cars, but S-C is horribly acrophobic and miserable. Of course, J-S responds to his fear by jostling the cable car.
Crisis at UAJ – something is wrong with the bean paste, pickles, sauces. The underling who discovers this is ignored by Min-woo, who later is called into a client’s private dinner, where he learns there’s something wrong with the kimchee. Still, he ignores it. Finally, M-W tastes it and notices there’s something wrong. Still, he sends the stuff out to the Kimchee Expo (which UAJ started ten years before). It is rejected by the Expo.
At the same time, Bong-ju is telling Joo-hee that he wants to hold their engagement party at the resort. She tries to say something to him, but gets a call. When she pulls her phone out of her purse, her ferry ticket to Wando falls out, and B-J figures out (or she tells him) the whole thing about S-C and the abalone too. He is not amused. This is when Bong-ju gets a call about the bad kimchee.
On top of that, as he leaves the “engagement hall,” S-C and J-S come bumbling up the walk. B-J attacks S-C.
