First, Lee Jung-hyun began her day in her newly moved home. Among the joyful time spent by the Seo-ah and Seo-woo sisters, the most eye-catching aspect was the kitchen. Lee Jung-hyun's love for cooking is reflected throughout the kitchen. She set up an island cooking counter and a bar table facing each other so she could dine with family and friends. The large wooden cutting board, which Lee Jung-hyun personally ordered from the factory, was impressive.
Above all, the enormous cooking iron plate was eye-catching. Lee Jung-hyun stated, "I really love cooking, so it was a dream to have this iron plate," and noted, "I have thought about it since 30 years ago." She couldn’t hide her smile while cleaning the iron plate. However, her husband foresaw that the meticulous management of the iron plate would fall on his shoulders and opposed its installation. He amusingly said, "Since my wife has been wishing for it her whole life."
Next, Lee Jung-hyun started her cooking with the iron plate. She made iron plate steak and iron plate grilled seafood, along with a large iron plate pancake that would capture her husband's taste. Although she was still clumsy with the iron plate cooking and could only manage a simple fire show, Lee Jung-hyun's face lit up seeing her family enjoy the meal. Additionally, she made spicy-sweet plum noodles, using her own pickled plums, to conclude the day’s cooking.
Lee Jung-hyun mentioned, "Seeing the plums reminds me of that oppa," bringing up Jo Sung-mo, the main character of the dating rumors from 1999 that they both starred in. The phrase, “Good night, dream about me,” from a commercial they filmed together became a catchphrase. When Lee Jung-hyun asked if he remembered, her husband gave a reaction of jealous envy, causing laughter. Additionally, their adorable daughter Seo-ah, who resembles Lee Jung-hyun, perfectly copied her mother’s line, contributing to the amusing scene. The joyful interactions of the Lee Jung-hyun family amidst delicious food created a heartwarming time for viewers.
Jang Min-ho invited the Hwang Min-woo and Hwang Min-ho brothers and presented the fourth edition of his homakase. He mentioned the positive reception of his homakase and revealed that many stars were waiting. He once again created homakase dishes – butter cheese omelet, iron plate steak, and iron plate marinated crab ramen – that catered to the tastes of the Hwang brothers. Initially skeptical, the Hwang brothers were left wide-eyed with admiration and devoured the food as Jang Min-ho’s cooking continued.
In particular, the hilarious chemistry between Uncle Jang Min-ho and the Hwang Min-woo and Hwang Min-ho brothers drew big laughs. The joy of teasing their uncle by the nieces and nephews, coupled with Jang Min-ho's exhausted but amused reactions, caused roaring laughter. Alongside this, Jang Min-ho also praised 13-year-old Hwang Min-ho's singing and drum skills, sharing that he received an allowance of 3 million won in one go after an event, surprising the viewers. The broadcast teased a surprise guest, presumed to be Hwang Min-ho's girlfriend, generating excitement for the next episode.
'Fun-Staurant' was filled with the heartfelt desire of the chefs to provide delicious food for their loved ones and the honey-flavored menu they created with care. Thus, KBS 2TV's 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant,' which captivates viewers with the fun of cooking and eating as well as the hidden charms of stars' daily lives, airs every Friday at 8:30 p.m.
