Chapter 752 – Korean Food
Earth! Land!
The sound of metal clashing makes my eardrums vibrate.
Strangely enough, it doesn’t feel unpleasant at all.
〈The sound is this clear. These things are made properly. On the other hand, this guy here…〉
There are many cast iron grills.
On the surface, there seems to be no difference between this and that.
The craftsman lifts one of them.
Let’s hit it twice with the hammer we were holding.
Tak!
Understand!
Dull sound.
With the subsequent hammering, it cracks and splits.
〈You wouldn’t know just by looking at it. But sounds don’t lie~.〉
It is a blacksmith shop that makes grills.
A half-finished product is being inspected.
About half.
There are also defective products mixed in.
It is about hearing and distinguishing sounds.
Grumbling—!
Burn it with fire.
A strong flame spews out from an industrial torch.
〈 Apply sesame oil, heat again, and repeat this process for 30 minutes to coat. This is the traditional way.〉
The iron gradually turns black.
This is the process of making a single grill.
Keying… !!
Next factory.
The stone is being cut.
It is processed into a cylindrical heavy shape.
〈 Rice cooker. Making a rice cooker! This is made by digging out the inside.〉
Put it into the machine.
A moment later with a loud sound.
Click!
The inside is smooth.
It became shaped like a bowl.
Put it into the machine again.
Let’s go through the finishing work like that.
〈 Was it really made by digging out a rock? So do you make it by digging it or molding it? A young person is talking nonsense.〉
Stone pot.
In Korean cuisine, vessels used for various purposes are revealed.
It wasn’t an easy process.
Even every piece of courage has value.
“… Only if you are familiar with the content of the video can you explain the value of Korean food to guests.”
We are educating it.
An employee briefing session is held in a large auditorium.
Headquarters Manager.
The goal is to teach new employees the value of Korean food.
“Manager!”
“Yes, please speak.”
“I know it’s difficult to make… But what does that have to do with the taste of Korean food?”
This is an important part.
Company.
It is not just a place to come to make money.
I want to feel proud of what I do.
Only then will work efficiency increase.
“You asked a good question. You will see why I use both tools in the next video.”
Such a curriculum has been created.
The manager skillfully conducts the briefing session.
Chi profit… !
General grill.
Meat is grilled quickly.
But there are black things on the surface.
“Ah…, The meat is burning.”
“That’s right. That’s why we don’t barbecue parts with a lot of fat, like pork belly. Now, shall we watch the next video?”
It is bound to happen.
Fat is weak to heat.
If you fire it directly, it will burn.
Chi profit… !
But it’s a thick grill.
Radiant heat cooks the meat evenly on the outside and inside.
“For Korean barbecue, you must use this thick grill. Only then can you fully enjoy the taste of pork belly.”
The employees are impressed by the manager’s explanation.
The craftsman didn’t make it for any reason.
Stone pots also have such a hidden principle.
Not only does it keep food warm.
“The Maillard reaction is occurring.”
“For some reason, bibimbap tasted better when I ate it in that stone bowl!”
“Korean food should be eaten hot.”
It provides a unique flavor.
You can fully feel the charm of Korean food.
‘It’s stone pot bibimbap and pot lid pork belly.’
Such a fact.
Jessica already knows.
I am a very passionate fan of the Korean Wave.
This is why I ended up getting a job at a Korean restaurant.
It is a kind of virtue match.
“It is also an eco-friendly cooking utensil made without chemical treatment. It is your role to promote the value of Korean food.”
There are some things I learned while receiving education.
The world of Korean food was deep.
I feel rewarded.
Learn Korean food legally and even while making money.
Chi profit… !
There are some parts that I could not know in terms of knowledge.
It is a real experience.
“This is Korean pork belly.”
“”Ohoh!””
“It looks different from the outside, right? Because it is a pig raised solely to produce good pork belly.”
Made in Korea.
Even if you want to buy it in the US, you can’t.
There is no place that sells it.
It is being distributed.
As an employee, you can taste and experience it first.
Munch!
Put the pork belly in your mouth.
As a Korean food enthusiast, I haven’t tried it once or twice.
“The meat is sweet.”
“How can this be pork!”
“The marbling is similar to Japanese Wagyu.”
Delicious.
It comes intuitively without any elaborate expressions.
Firm muscles.
And the fat sandwiched in between.
‘Wow!’
It explodes in your mouth.
I am tasting the texture and marbling at the same time.
It is a taste that cannot be felt in any other meat.
Usually there is only one of the two.
“Between 83 and 93 kg, with a back fat thickness of 17 to 25 mm. This is the taste that only a 1+ pig that passes these two standards can have. Because the meat has a mild flavor, it is recommended to cook it medium.”
Pork belly.
I couldn’t even imagine eating it raw.
It’s not a part to eat like that.
‘I’m Korean after all!’
Koreans had their own secret.
The best meat goes through the best cooking process.
Brings out the true value of K-BBQ.
Its role is to inform that.
“Of course K-BBQ!”
“Koreans are amazing.”
“It is our duty to spread the excellence of Korean food.”
I feel the urge to properly promote Korean food.
Even as a Korean Wave fan.
‘It was a great job applying to Mr. Lee’s franchise!’
As an employee, I feel the same way.
Jessica knows the owner of this franchise.
No, that’s because.
Lee Chan-wook.
I agree with his thoughts and actions.
“Mr. Lee Korean Restaurant’s motto is authentic Korean food. We hope that our staff will serve our guests with the same pride.”
Such people gathered together.
My interest in Korea and Lee Chan-wook led to employment.
Excellent staff.
It becomes the competitive edge of the franchise.
Korean restaurants are opening across the United States.
* * *
End of Corona.
Starting in 2022, the whole world is escaping from the epidemic situation.
It brings inevitable results.
People are coming out of their homes.
Buzz, buzz!
The streets are understandably crowded.
There is only one reason why they go out.
“I want to eat something delicious…”
“How about steak?”
“That’s what I eat every day.”
“What about Vietnamese, Japanese, and Spanish cuisine?”
“I ate until I got sick of it.”
Consume immediately.
So-called ‘revenge consumption’ is taking place.
‘It’s not my money anyway, it’s money Biden gave me for free.’
The United States has no choice but to add.
This is because the government poured a lot of money into it.
It’s literal.
Cash was put into the bank accounts of ordinary citizens.
Daily News− 「”American households are in better condition despite COVID-19… Thanks to government disaster relief funds”」
The aftermath.
Money rots.
Consumption power is overflowing.
“Then how about Korean food? It’s really hot on Instagram these days. I heard there’s a new restaurant opening nearby.”
The most active thing is eating out.
What I couldn’t enjoy during the coronavirus period is coming out.
There is something I have seen during the Corona period.
As Korean dramas and movies become famous.
“Ah, Korean food! I still wanted to eat it.”
“I’m glad your disability of choice has been cured.”
Korea.
It has become one of the options.
Like Japanese, Chinese, Italian, etc.
Demand for Korean food is increasing.
At that time, franchises started popping up all over the United States.
『Mr. Lee’s K-BBQ』
It was natural to receive attention.
Numerous guests will flock in.
“Is this your first time here? If so, I recommend the pork belly. It is the most original K-BBQ and will be a choice you will never regret.”
But that’s it.
If it doesn’t taste good, it will end up being just a fad.
Chi profit… !
Not so.
You must try it.
The feelings of such employees.
“Wow, wonderful!”
“It’s the most delicious.”
“I love you. Yongyega Broadcast.”
It is also passed down to guests.
Meat grilled with sincerity cannot be delicious.
It’s also unique.
Korean food.
It’s the first time I’ve seen it since my hair grew.
“Do Koreans actually cut meat with scissors?”
“Yes, since they are kitchen scissors, there is no problem with hygiene at all. They are more convenient than cutting with a knife and have many uses.”
Meat is grilled and eaten raw.
Cut the meat with scissors and eat it.
There is a prejudice.
Snip!
That preconceived notion.
It was revealed through dramas, movies, etc.
No, a feeling of admiration sprouted.
“I am cutting meat with scissors.”
“This is so comfortable!”
“Why didn’t I think of cutting it with scissors until now?”
It works positively.
Even though it is the first culture they see, they readily follow it.
It also leads to customer experience.
I really enjoyed visiting a Korean restaurant.

Do you know K-BBQ?

I also feel like bragging
It is spread secondary and tertiary through SNS.
Such a foundation.
It was natural that it would lead to a new trend.

I ordered the K-caviar that the king of Korea ate, so I ordered it, and it was a successful choice!
Personally, it tastes better than caviar
└Is it as expensive as caviar?
└I’ve never seen it before
└It’s Mr. Lee’s new restaurant
└It’s a Korean-style bar, so you definitely have to go there!
The Korean food trend is spreading like wildfire.
