(Korean-style lunch menu at Jefferson Elementary)
(Mung bean jelly salad / Homemade grilled short rib patties / Seasoned bean sprouts / Multigrain shake / Pork belly kimchi fried rice / Homemade fish cake soup)
This is the real deal now
(The students)
(and members are all tensed up)
(Even the lead chef seems tense)
(Austin breaks the silence with a cheerful comment)
(Looking forward to this Korean-style lunch?)
(Cheers announcing that it's time to serve)
(Serving has begun)
(Welcome in)
This is a Korean-style cafeteria tray
So, I'm gonna put kimchi fried rice
(Austin serves the students lunch with detailed explanations of the menu)
(Interesting)
(Topping the rice with some shredded egg omlette)
(Filled up to the top)
It looks like pasta
Yeah, it looks like pasta, right?
Have you ever tried kimchi fried rice?
(Nodding)
(We've found someone who's tried pork belly kimchi fried rice before)
You like it?
(Nodding)
(Nice) Ah, so cute
Hello!
(Serving proceeds smoothly)
- Hello - Hello
(Hello)
(Nice to meet you)
(Fish cakes first)
(then the soup)
Hello there!
(Shy)
The multigrain shake, you can hold in your hand
(Doesn't have any spare hands available)
No, no
(The multigrain shake is barely hanging on the tray)
Ah, that looks dangerous
Should I just bring it with him to his seat?
(C'mon, follow me)
(Yeon-bok brings over the multigrain shake himself) Let's go to your seat, I'll carry it for you
Where's your seat?
Take a seat
(Speaking to the student as if talking to his own grandson,) Right here?
(Yeon-bok leads him to his seat) Alright, here you go
(Thank you grandpa)
(Serving the multigrain shakes to their seats) Have your seats
(The shakes have made it safely to the table) Here you go
Thank you
(Bok-delivery)
(Yeon-bok closely and attentively)
(looks after each and every student) C'mon over here, have a seat
Enjoying everything?
Enjoy your meal
(Chef Yeon-bok never lets down)
(Pulls his chair for him) C'mon over here, have a seat
(and sets down the multigrain shake for him)
(Thank you)
Thank you
Thank you!
(Thanks to Austin joining the crew, the serving proceeds)
(under a friendly and eased atmosphere) This kimchi fried rice, it isn't spicy
(The students are unfamiliar with the sight of the Korean-style lunch)
(Sniff sniff)
I just want to smell everything
(Sniffing altogether)
I love it!
(Admiring the scent of the Korean-style lunch)
(Sniff sniff)
Smell the multigrain shake
Smell it, it's like peanut butter coffee
Oh, that smells like peanut butter!
(Definitely my type)
(These girls are also sniffing the multigrain shake)
It smells like ice cream cones
(The students are giving everything a sniff first)
Smells so good!
(Content)
(I hope they enjoy everything)
(Meanwhile, with the other students)
Why is there a CCTV?
Hello, CCTV
Hello, everyone!
(Shy)
(Hello, camera)
(The students are fascinated by the camera)
(So cute)
(Another thing that's unfamiliar to the students)
I tried to learn how to use chopsticks
(Trying hard)
(Immediate success)
(Excited giggling)
This is how you use it, you do this
(Nom)
(How?)
Put your hands like this, and then do this
And then just poke it!
(Eye-level teaching for a beginner)
(Proud)
Do you wanna try it? Let's see
I'll just use it like this, I'm not sure how to use it
Oh, there you go!
(Successful first attempt)
I don't know how to use chopsticks that well
I'm just trying my best
(Successful)
(Clear enunciation in Korean) Thank you for the meal
(Prepared for the meal)

I wish we could have this every day
(Anticipating the meal)
Hehe

(Warming up the taste buds with the seasoned bean sprouts)
(Nom)
(Digging into the pork belly kimchi fried rice)
(He must be thirsty as he goes for the multigrain shake)
This is yummy!
(Another bite)
(before even swallowing the previous spoonful)
(A cheekful)
(Looking just like Shin-Chan)
(Stands up to devour the pork belly kimchi fried rice)
(He takes a break with the multigrain shake)
(And continues to finish off the kimchi fried rice)
(while spinning the tray)
(after every other spoonful)
(Overall review: I liked everything)
(Meanwhile at another table)
Wait, wait
Let's eat at the same time, 3, 2...
(Nom)
(Eyes open wide at the incredible taste)

(Nom nom)
(Next to the student who's enjoying the meal)
(Is it good?)
(Frozen)
It's spicy!!
(Lost for words)
(In shock)
(The spiciness was adjusted, yet some students are still finding it too spicy)
Oh, my mouth!
The rice is kind of spicy!
(Frozen)
(What's wrong?)
(It's spicy)
(Chugging down some water)
Ah!
Oh, that's hot
You mean the rice?
(Nodding)
(This doesn't)
(look too good)
(Some are even spitting it back out)
Too spicy
Oh no, this is spicy!
I can't eat something this spicy
(Was the kimchi fried rice a wrong menu chice for the American students?)
(Currently at the serving station...)
(Rejecting the kimchi fried rice)
You don't want the kimchi fried rice?
You don't want it?
Some kimchi fried rice?
- I don't like it - You don't like it?
Kimchi fried rice?
(Shaking her head)
(Startled)
Come over here, then
(Staggers back in rejection) You don't want it?
(Startled)
(There's still kimchi fried rice left over in these students' trays)
(Are these students done with their meals?)
(Will the first attempt at Korean-style lunch)
(in America ultimately end in success?)
