Welcome to Recipe Club, the show where we debate the best way to cook the food.

You want to eat.

My name is Chris Ying.

Here in the clubhouse with me today are three kind souls who have volunteered to prepare a nourishing meal while you're recovering from childbirth or the death of a pet or BBL surgery.

First, next to me here, chef and partner of Yangban, John Hong, John, put yourself in this position.

It's years ago.

You are a young lad who's just been dumped.

You don't know, you don't know that in several years you're going to meet the love of your life cat marry her have a

wonderful child open a restaurant together you don't know any of this you are inconsolable

what is the food that is going to bring you some comfort in this moment okay um thank you for

painting that picture um did it hit a little close to home?

Wow.

It was like an alternative life.

I think I'm always drawn towards soups or stews.

I think every Korean has such an affinity for like a boiling hot pot of stoop.

So whenever I'm down or dumped or whatever the case may be, I think I would go towards soup, whatever variation that may be.

But soup is kind of my thing.

And Koreans like them hot because they want to feel that pain.

It's got to hurt.

Just like distracts from the emotional pain with the physical pain.

That's the move.

Sure.
