Seasons
Season 1
Paik Jong-won is Korea's top restaurant management expert. But will he be able to successfully run a restaurant overseas? Paik Jong-won will be challenged with starting a full-fledged business in a land barren of Korean food. He opened a Korean restaurant in Morocco with GOT7 Bambam & actor Lee Jang-woo, then also in Italy with Girls' Generation's Kwon Yuri, singer John Park, and actor Lee Jang-woo again.
Season 2
The renowned Korean restaurateur Paik Jong-won joined forces with A-list celebrities to create a dream team, successfully managing restaurants in Moroco and Italy in season 1. This time, this dynamic team is setting out on another exciting adventure to an unfamiliar destination, aiming to introduce Korean cuisine to a global audience. Will they be able to succeed once again?
Season 3
Paik Jong Won’s challenge to become a top restaurateur around the world is not over. Paik Jong Won and his crew are dropped off in a new country once again. This time, they must open and run a restaurant in France, a country known for its gourmet cuisine. Actor Yoon Si Yoon, the “Baking King,” joins the team and harmonizes with the previous members. While French people are accustomed to multi-course meals, they introduce a Korean-style steak served as a single course, and they offer alcohol-fermented bread in the country of baguette. In a place where communication is difficult and the culture is different, will they be able to appeal to the French diners? Will their tactics work on the picky diners?
Episodes
Season 1
Going Abroad
Paik Jong-won, the top restaurateur in Korea, suddenly finds himself in Africa! In a huge night market, Jong-won must compete with around 150 other stalls to set up a new food business. With only 72 hours and 3,000 dollars to get started, Jong-won scrambles to find his footing from the start. With Lee Jang-woo and BamBam flying in from Korea to help him, they must get their food stall up and running.
Unexpected Hurdles In Running A Business Abroad
CEO Paik and his employees get off to a good start at their Korean food stall in a famous night market in Marrakech. However, they soon face some unexpected hurdles and are forced to shut down their stall. The next day, the production crew busily searches for a new location to set up shop, and CEO Paik anxiously waits to find out if they can open their business again.
The Second Day At The New Location
Since having to move to the new location, CEO Paik and his crew are off to a great start. Selling out their ingredients for the night, the group goes home feeling satisfied with their sales. The second day at their new location arrives, and Jong Won believes this day is the most crucial. However, things do not seem as lively as they were the night before.
The Last Day In Africa
CEO Paik opens for business on the last day in Africa. They aim to sell as much food as they can during the peak time in the markets of Morocco. Will their last day of selling tteokgalbi burgers and braised galbi be a success? Meanwhile, CEO Paik gets dropped off in Italy, the second country he will be opening a restaurant. How will he fare in Naples, where there are no Korean restaurants at all?
The First Day In Naples
CEO Paik and Jang-woo arrive in Naples to start their new restaurant in a city that has never had a Korean restaurant before. With John Park and Yu-ri joining them, the preparations to open up their shop goes quite smoothly. However, opening day arrives, and they have trouble getting customers to come in and try the unfamiliar cuisine.
The Second Day in Naples
After a rather disappointing first day of sales in Naples, CEO Paik and the crew make some changes to the way they run the business. They take customer feedback into consideration to add to the drinks menu and even film a video to show the customers how to properly enjoy the spicy pork meal with ssam. Will the second day be better and give their sales a boost?
The Third Day in Naples
Baekbanjip’s second day of sales goes better than the first, but the rise in sales only stokes the fire of competitive spirit in the staff. As they open up for the third day, CEO Paik has some more marketing strategies up his sleeve. As things get busier than they expected, the staff start to encounter some new challenges as well. Lastly, a surprise guest appears while the staff prepare for dinnertime.
The Fourth Day in Naples
Baekbanjip sets a new record for sales on the third day. While they prepare to have dinner themselves, Kim Min Jae, the legendary defender of the soccer team in Naples, comes to the restaurant. As the staff at Baekbanjip are starstruck by the star soccer player, Kim Min Jae is also starstruck by the celebrity staff. Meanwhile, the fourth day of sales starts off, and it’s the busiest day ever.
