Getting the origin right. No, he actually got the breeding method right. It wasnt that difficult because there were many people besides Cho Min Joon who could differentiate meat from Kobe and meat from Matsusaka. Some who were knowledgeable of Japanese beef could even guess where it was bred just by looking at it.

But would they be able to guess the beef inside dumplings? It was mixed with other ingredients, and it was even hard to tell if the juice was from the beef or the broth.

Samuel opened his mouth.

Thats right. We recently changed the beef from Kobe to Matsusaka, but we havent changed the menu yet How did you get that right? These are dumplings No wonder youre famous.

His voice shook. He knew about Cho Min Joon. Anyone who could speak English and was in the cooking industry knew Cho Min Joon.

But it felt different seeing him in real life. Especially since he proved himself with his own cooking.

[Its not even surprising anymore.]

[Hes gotten it right so many times now. If he can get things right from a tofu pouch, thats easy.]

[But isnt Matsusaka beef better than that from Kobe?]

[Its more expensive.]

As soon as Samuel agreed, the chat window went crazy. Sarah sighed and shook her head.

I still cant get used to this. How can you tell the marbling apart? Its inside dumplings.

I tried different wagyu beef yesterday.

Its still hard to guess after tasting it just once.

In response to Cho Min Joons casual answer, Sarah spoke in a sad voice. Cho Min Joon smiled and looked at Samuel. He didnt bring it up to brag about his palate.

Is there a reason why you switched from Kobe to Matsusaka?

Its because of the difference in taste that you just noticed. How was the dumpling you just tasted?

It was moist It almost tasted like I got a sip of a soup. Oh, is that because of the fat from the meat?

That oil does make it a lot smoother, but thats not the biggest reason. Its the texture of the meat.

In response, Cho Min Joon put another dumpling inside his mouth. Most wouldnt have noticed the texture of meat in dumplings, but they cut it in a way that allowed him to feel the meat breaking between his teeth. Cho Min Joon spoke in awe.

Now that you say it it tastes like tofu made of meat.

I like that description. Tofu made of beef

While Samuel repeated Cho Min Joons words, the servers approached and handed out what looked like sandwiches. It was a similar size of the dumplings they just ate. Sarah asked,

Did we order this? I dont think we did.

Were offering these as bribes since youre such valued customers Maybe I shouldnt call it a bribe. Ill be honest. I just wanted to brag. This is our best-selling dish.

Didnt you say theyre all similarly popular?

I guess I just say what I want depending on the situation.

He responded so shamelessly that she didnt feel like responding. Sarah laughed and Samuel smiled confidently.

To be honest, this item cant be sold without a reservation, so I made a reservation for you. In other words, this dish is on Samuel King. My dream is to stop all of the viewers from wanting to diet and making our country into one that is overweight.

What kind of perverted dream is that?

[There are always weird guys like that from time to time.]

[They say geniuses are actually crazy.]

Jeremy didnt mind the chat window or their conversation. His eyes were on the floor.

Is this naan? No, naan isnt steamed like this

Its a bun. You can think of it as something like dumpling peel.

He called it a bun, but it just looked like a lump of flour. Cho Min Joon picked it up. There were some pieces of pork belly inside and on top of it was sauce with vegetables. The scent of vegetables was accompanied by the smell of curry.

This smells like Japanese curry. The cooking score is 9 points.

It could be 10 points on a good day, but it wasnt, but he wasnt disappointed. 9 points didnt necessarily mean it tasted worse than a 10-point dish. Cho Min Joon opened his mouth.

How do I eat this?

Im sorry?

Whats the most delicious way to eat it? All at once? Or a piece at a time?

It depends on your taste. If you want to analyze it, I suggest you eat it a little bit at all times. Itll give you more chances to taste, and there are also differences in taste depending on the portion of the pork. But if you just want to enjoy the overall flavor, have it all in one go.

Too bad theres only one.

Haha, thatll make it taste even better. You know what? My wallets been a little empty these days.

Thank you for the dish.

Cho Min Joon smirked at Samuels joke and put it in his mouth all at once. The texture was unique. Was it because it was steamed instead of being roasted or fried? It was somewhere between bread and dumplings. The outside tasted like pizza dough while the inside was soft and chewy.

At first, all he could taste was flour. He didnt even taste the juices of the pork belly when he chewed on it. But a moment later, the bun, soaked with saliva and juice, stuck to the sides of his mouth, and as the bun ripped apart, the soft texture and flavor of the pork belly began to show itself.

Mm

Cho Min Joon closed his eyes and groaned. He smiled with satisfaction. It was delicious. Is this how it felt to eat the most delicious sandwich int eh world? The vegetables inside the curry sauce spread throughout his mouth, and and way the pork belly melted like juice was lovable. Cho Min Joon glared at Samuel with resentment.

its too bad I can only have such a delicious dish once. This is kind and evil at the same time.

Haha, Ill take that as a compliment.

If you were a woman, I mightve confessed my love to you.

[What about Kaya?]

[HEs just born with it. Hes even flirting with a guy.]

[Maybe he did it to Anderson, too No, never mind.]

Im going to get indigestion. Go easy on me.

Cho Min Joon knitted his brows and talked to the chat window. But after seeing the comment, [Ive already gotten indigestion 10 times from your remarks], he couldnt even keep glaring anymore. Even when he saw his own videos, he thought the things he said and did was pretty cringy.

I wonder what Kaya wouldve thought about this.

He suddnelty had that thought. It wasnt even that random. Kaya had a tasting level of 10. He wanted to know how her sensitive palate wouldve tasted it. He wanted to make it his. If he could

Min Joon.

What?

How did you feel when you ate this?

In response to Andersons sudden question, Cho Min Joon stared at him blankly. Anderson rubbed is ears and continued.

Im just curious of how you approach food.

Cho Min Joon got the idea that just like how he looked up to Kayas skills, Anderson mightve been looking up to his. But it was a given. He was always by his side, got all the attention including that of the world. Cho Min Joon wouldve been the same way if he was Anderson. The problem was

We have the same tasting level though.

Since he became a level 8 in tasting later than Anderson, it was possible he was at a lower level than Anderson. But he didnt want to put ANdreson in the wrong path by giving him a horrible evaluation. He couldnt reveal everything, but he still thought of Anderosn as a friend.

I focused on the texture of the bun. It wouldnt have been a problem if he just steamed the pork belly. SO the fact that he steamed the bun to must mean something. At first, I thought it was for the flavor, but I think the key is the texture. The moisture and the way it sticks to the pork belly Doesnt it taste like curry hot dog?

Hm, what about the other aspects?

I saw a strange path.

Path?

Cho Min JOons eyes lost focus. His eyes were on Andresons chest, but there was no reason for him to look at his chest. He was seeing something no one else was.

The exchange of nations and cultures. I wonder how much history is within one dish. It contains a regions produce, cooking method, and historical circumstances. But then that also meets with food of other countries

ChO min Joons cheeks flushed. He licked his lips before he continued. His scratchy voice, which sounded like a groan, sounded affectionate.

isnt this romantic?

His heart pounded just from admiring a food. New styles of food always did that to him. It was similar to when a person moved to a prettier and bigger house. Of course, all chefs felt this way, but was it because he dreamt of this for so long? The moments that were minor to others were precious and beautiful to Cho Min Joon.

But the others couldnt understand that. Same went for most of the viewers.

[Are all geniuses like that? Their minds are different.]

[Maybe hes just weird, not a genius.]

[What I know for certain is that this is the first time a man looked sexy while talking about food.]

Anderson stared at Cho Min Joon in silence. His shaking eyebrows and his trembling lips said it all. He was trying to resonate with the touching feeling that Cho Min Joon felt.

He understood whawt the chat was saying. He thought he was weird, but he wanted emulate that weirdness. He wwasnt going to copy Cho Min Joons way of thinking, but he wanted to understand how he saw things. Anderson slowly opened his mouth.

When I first met you, I didnt know you were this unique.

am I unique?

Should I call you crazy instead?

He spoke in a joking way, but Anderosns eyes were filled with passion. What if he had said what Cho Min Joon said? Would the public have reacted the same way. Perhaps not. O fcourse, some would have praised his unique and chef-like evaluation, but most would have just showered him with nonsense.

But that didnt happen to Cho Min Joon. Whenever he said anything, people just assumed it was meaningful. After all, Anderson felt the same way. He probably even tasted every single vegetable inside the curry. A person like that probably never said nonsense. A moment later, Emily opened her mouth.

SO are you saying you find the globalization nd localization of that dish interesting?

Yes. I love combinations like this. Maybe I have more affection for it because this could be the path Ill walk in the future. Rather than digging one well, I prefer to do many things at the same time.

Cho Min Joon spoke in a calm smile. He felt as though his future was becoming more clear lately. Things like what kind of food he should make and what kind of path he should walk. Cho Min Joon clenched his fists. And Anderson felt eager as he watched Cho Min Joon. When Sarah saw the two of them, she whispered in Jeremys ear.

You dont think hes seducing Anderson on top of Kaya because he wants more than one well, do you?
