‘What’s the Leftover For’ is a food & talk variety show with the motto “Leave no food, but leave stories with connections.”
The newly renewed ‘What’s the Leftover For’ introduces the ‘Taste Dinner Project’, where guest diners can offer special dishes to the person they want to express gratitude or apology to, creating laughter, taste, and emotion.
MCs Lee Young-ja and Park Seri, known as the nation’s taste experts, take on the role of ‘Taste Messengers’ to provide top-notch service with 200% customer satisfaction.
In the 13th episode showcasing the ‘Taste Dinner Project’ for the first time, special MC Kim Sook will join veteran entertainer Lee Kyung-kyu on a ‘Taste Dinner’. Lee Kyung-kyu is known to have a deep connection with MCs Lee Young-ja and Park Seri, and a past rivalry with Kim Sook over the ‘Entertainment Daesang’, sparking curiosity.
First, special MC Kim Sook makes a surprise appearance to introduce a favorite restaurant to MCs Lee Young-ja & Park Seri before meeting ‘Taste Diner’ Lee Kyung-kyu.
Kim Sook’s favorite go-to restaurant is a Chinese eatery in Yeonnam-dong, managed by Chef Jeong Ji-sun who also appeared as a taste friend on ‘What’s the Leftover For’, drawing attention as it’s unveiled for the first time on a variety show.
The signature dishes, Nine Treasure Bokchun Yangjangpi and Suzhou Lotus Dongpo Pork, presented as a full-course set, are perfected through various ingredients and meticulous cooking, targeting the palate accurately. Lee Young-ja, Kim Sook, and Park Seri invoke laughter by bringing up dating rumors among themselves.
