It's time for Food Adventure Program For Awesome People!
The Jeon Edition!
[M] ♫ That jeon jeon jeon jeon jeon ♫
[S] Now we realized that when we did our cooking program
on pajeon a couple weeks ago,
some people might never have actually
seen us eat jeon before. [M] That's right.
Pajeon! Pajeon! Pajeon!
Penguin! Penguin! Penguin! Penguin!
Penguin... Pen...
[M] How did he even get here?
[S] So we're gonna show you today
one of our favorite jeon places.
It's really delicious and we're gonna show
you a whole bunch of sexy food porn shots as well.
[M] Everyone's like 'what are we gonna be eating today?'
(whispers) Shh, it's okay. Don't you worry about it.
[S] It's okay.
[S] Stop asking questions. [M] Shhhh
[S] Spirit fingers.
[S] Alright let's go get something to eat.
[M] I guess Penguin's with us for the night, huh?
Penguin?
Nanananana!
(upbeat F.A.P.F.A.P music)
[M] Okay, here's the great thing about jeon restaurants.
They've got like all different kinds here.
They've got...
[S] They've got pajeon, which is what we made before.
They've got hae mool pajeon,
which is pajeon with seafood in it.
They've got kimchi jeon,
which is personally my favorite one, because it's spicy.
[M] They also have gochu jeon,
which is one of my favorites. [S] Yeah.
That's when the take the pepper and they hollow it out
and they fill it with like a meat.
[S] And then they... [M] And then they deep fry it in batter.
[S] ...coat that, and then they fry that. [M] Yeah.
[S] So today we're gonna get a modeum jeon,
which is pretty much just a mix of everything
'modeum' means mixed, so. [M] Yep.
[M] So the top one here. [S] Does modeum mean mixed? Modeum...
[M] It means like, assorted, [S] Assorted, yeah. OK.
[M] Or like a 'bunch of choices for a bunch of different [inaudible]'
[S] So we're gonna have a bunch of different delicious ones.
[M] It's gonna be 22 bucks,
and it's gonna be more than enough food for us to eat,
[S] That's right. [M] as well as if we'd had brought Soozee and Leigh.
Which we didn't.
Cuz we didn't want to share.
[evil laughter]
[M] If you eat jeon, most people will be like,
'Oh well you have to have magkoli with it
because it's like accompany?
[S] They go hand and hand, like chicken and beer, you could say.
[M] Yeah, and magkoli is a rice-based drink
that we had really bad experiences with
from overdrinking.
[M] We're feeling a little traumatized.
[S] It's really delicious on it's own
except, we remember the trauma that we had before,
so we never actually wanna drink it. Ever again.
But we'll do it for you guys. [M] We'll do it for you guys.
[S] You'll just see us cringing the whole time. [M] Yeah.
[S] Modeum jeon. (speaking Korean) ... magkoli ... seong, not seng
[S] Thought it was seng, meaning 'fresh.' My bad.
[M] No, that's because the one up here was seng.
[M] K, seriously guys, you see this? [S] Okay.
[M] These are all different kinds of magkoli here. [S] Uh huh.
[M] I have no idea what they mean,
except for the bottom one which says,
'kiwi' or like this is basically a fruit cocktail magkoli.
[S] Yeah, it's a cocktail.
[M] But we're trying to, like,
these are different brands of, like
[S] How do I know I didn't get like...
[M] You ordered the most expensive one, that's why.
[S] Cuz I'm ballin' son!
[M] Eight dollars worth.
[S] Eight dollars for a bottle of alcohol. [M] Mmhm.
[S] Ooooh
ahhh
[S] Dipping sauce.
[S] K, these things are just marinated onions,
but they're marinated in something really sweet and vinegary,
and they're delicious.
Mmm. (crunch)
[S] Now for some Sexy Food Porn Shots. [M] Oooh

Penguin?
[S] Okay, now that the food's here
I have no excuse but to open this.
[M] Oh boy Simon. [S] Oh boy.
[M] Did you give it a good shake? You always wanna shake up your...
[S] I did shake it a lot. [M] ... magkoli. [S] Yes.
[M] Okay. Hang on.
[S] Aww, the memories!
[S] This is what we drink out of.
It's not a cup, it's a bowl.
and it's actually a chilled bowl, that's very nice.
[M] Chilled. [S] Ice. [M] Cold. [S] Freezing. [M] Winter.
[S] Nitrogen. [M] Alaska.
[S] Tundra.
[M] Lu.. (flails for word) uh
[S] Antarctica. You lose this round.
[M] Lost it.
[M] Ah, Simon. [S] Oh god. [M] Oh, oh god. [S] Why.
[M] What are you, new?
[S] I am new to this. [M] Oh, Simon.
[S] It's like pouring everywhere.. [M] Simon made a mess!
[S] I got it on my pants.
[M] My pants. ♫
[M] Put it here. [S] Just, just gonna,
put that napkin down there.
[M] And this is why we're not on TV. (laughs)
[S] Ok, I'm going in for the first one; it's a mushroom.
[M] Ok. You know what I love about mushroom in Korean?
It sounds totally like a rapper-- (soy sauce drip) Oh, sick, Simon!
That is totally your drink now.
He dripped soy sauce.
[warning music]
[M] Why did you go for my dipping sauce?
You have your own dipping sauce.
[S] Because I wanted to be affectionate and closer to you.
[M] (imitating) I wanna be affectionate by stealing your food.
You are in so much trouble right now.
You seriously [inaudible] outside my magkoli.
[A wild ajumma appears!]
[S] Hello. Annyeong (hello in Korean). Hi.
[M] I'll go for the fishy. [S] Going for the fishy?
[S] ♫ Dindindindindindindindindindin ♫
♫ Dindindindindindindindin ♫
♫ It's the fishy jeon ♫
[M] Thanks, Ducky.
[S] ♫ It's the fishy jeon ♫
[M] (muffled) Too much!
[S] ♫ Dindindindindindindindin ♫
[M] Too much.
[S] ♫ Dindindindindindin ♫
[S] (sings in Korean)
[tasting]
[S] Woow. [M] Memories, rushing back.
[M] Actually-- [S] You know what this tastes like?
[M] This one doesn't taste as bad as the other ones we've had. [S] No.
[M] Maybe, we're having the same one all the time. [S] No, no.
[S] I'll tell you exactly what this tastes like.
[M] What? [S] Pepto-Bismol.
[M] Okay, it does not taste like Pepto-Bismol.
[S] That tastes like Pep--
[M] Come to Korea and drink the-- [S] drink Pepto-Bismol.
[M] No, It doesn't taste like Pepto-Bismol.
[S] Seriously. [M] Is it because you got soy sauce in yours?
[M] Ok, I'm having my dubu jeon,
which is just tofu.
[M] Mm. Juicy. Puffy and squishy,
[S] I'm gonna have the meat medallion here.
And I'm not gonna-- [M] The meat medallion!
[S] It's a medallion of meat!
[M] I'm gonna move this out of the way for safety.
[S] Seriously, how do you think it does not taste like Pepto-Bismol?
It's got that choke-y, chalky, coat-your-stomach feel to it.
[M] You know why? Because when you poured it,
you made the mistake of pouring it really slowly,
and then you got all the chalky stuff at the bottom.
Mine's not very chalky, actually.
[S] Really? [M] Mine just tastes fizzy.
[S] It's supposed to be mine. [M] That's what happens.
[M] I'm going for the gul, the oyster jeon.
You guys can see, they have little green peppers in the batter and stuff.
It's not just like,
'I take oyster, I take flour, I fry, okay, you have jeon.'
[S] Aren't oysters expensive in many countries?
[M] Umm. Could you say that in more of a commercial voice?
[S] (hipster voice) Aren't oysters expensive in many countries?
[M] Mmhm.
[S] Ugh. My god. Ugh.
[S] Some people love it. Some people absolutely love it.
A lot of our friends, whenever we say
that we don't want to drink magkoli
they're like 'you're crazy, it's delicious and lovely'
and yes, it is for many people, but for us
[S] It could just be because I have soy sauce in mine
[M] Mm. They make really great kimchi jeon here.
[S] Oh. [M] Man. [S] Why?
[S] Don't like that. I don't like that at all.
[M] Now this one's a little bit of a weird one
that might be difficult to explain.
This is the kaennip, which is like a bitter, Korean leaf,
but they actually fold it over
and stuff it filled with meat, and then they deep fry it.
Or pan fried, I should say.
[S] This one has spam, too.
It's got fake crab, spam, some green onion,
and what's that? Mushroom?
Is that mushroom in here?
[M] Is it? [S] Mushroom! [M] Yeah.
[S] Notice how we're eating all the fried stuff around
and avoiding the salad. [M] (laughs)
[M] I'm eating the last kimchi jeon.
[S] What the?! [M] Yep. [S] That's not very fair.
[M] How many did you have already?
[S] One!
[M] Oh. I had two.
[S] Are you kidding? [M] Kaibaibo for the last piece.
[S] Ready? [Both] Kai bai bo.
[S] Yayy! It's for me!
[S] Feed it to me lovingly.
[M] Do I have to do it lovingly? [S] Yes.
[M] Can I do it grumpily? [S] No. Lovingly. [M] Okay.
[M] (deep voice) Hey, sweetheart! Kimchi jeon, yeah?
[M] I don't know why I did a T.O.P impersonation for sexy kimchi jeon feeding,
but that just happens.
[S] Feed me a meat medallion.
[S] Feed me lovingly.
[M] Meat medallion, Warrior, HUH
(singing Warrior by B.A.P) ♫ Nuhnuhnuhnuhnuhnuh HUH HUH ♫
♫ Nuhnuhnuhnuhnuhnuhnuh ♫
♫ Digagidadow digadigadow ♫
♫ When I get down, I get down ♫
♫ Ge-ge-ge-ge-get down ♫
[S] Feed it to me already. [M] ♫ Get down, get ♫
[M] Oh, sorry.
[M] Oh, what happened there? That was weird.
[S] You're rude.
[S] Too much. [M] (laughs) Oh, I see how the tables have turned.
[S] So that's it for this week's
Food Adventure Program For Awesome People!
[M] You'll notice that we ate almost everything,
which is meant to be for, like, 4 people. (laughs)
[S] And then Soozee wound up coming afterwards
and she ordered her own.
[M] Hae mool pajeon, and then we ate that as well, so
[S] Bonus round! Soozee came because she was hungry,
and then she got a plate of hae mool pajeon.
[M] Really good, guys. [S] I think I'm done eating for the rest of the night.
[M] Are we? Are we? [S] Are we? [M] I'm not sure.
[M] If you guys have tried any jeon before,
let us know what your favorite jeon is.
I'd like to know if my jeon is better than your jeon.
[S] Chocolate jeon!
[M] Umm, gross?
