1. The Harder, the More Generous! All-You-Can-Eat

A fierce battle with large-scale cooking! The cooking site of an all-you-can-eat Korean restaurant

These days, it is impossible to find a place where a lunch meal costs less than 10,000 won. This place, where nine menu items change daily, is an all-you-can-eat Korean buffet located in Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi-do! Offering unlimited high-quality food for less than 10,000 won, this place is packed with people during lunchtime. There are a whopping 1,300 lunch customers a day! Since they have to cook over 1,000 servings, there is not a single easy step, from preparing ingredients to finishing the food. Every day at 7 a.m., they bring in ingredients they have personally bought and start preparing them. Because they must cook a fixed amount by 11 a.m. when lunch service begins, the kitchen is truly a battlefield without guns or knives! Because large-scale cooking takes place in a confined space, the battle against the heat is unavoidable even with the air conditioning on. There have even been unprecedented incidents where cameras on set shut down due to heat approaching 50°C. Since refills are unlimited, food runs out frequently even when ample supplies are prepared. Because running low requires preparing additional dishes, the kitchen staff cannot let their guard down for a single moment. With continuous food preparation, dishwashing, and restocking all happening simultaneously, it is difficult to even take a sip of water. We go to meet the workers who say that no matter how grueling the work is, they find fulfillment in serving steaming hot Korean food to their customers on an unlimited basis.

2. The War of Value! All-You-Can-Eat Restaurants

In an era of high prices, dining out is no longer a lighthearted choice. There are places attracting attention for their excellent value, such as Korean buffets offering unlimited chicken and draft beer, bakeries where you can enjoy freshly baked bread to your heart's content, and Chinese restaurants where you can eat over 40 different Chinese dishes every day without limit. To achieve this, these individuals spare no effort, tirelessly scouring markets and supermarkets every dawn to source fresh, high-quality ingredients! We follow the intense daily routine of these people who strive to provide great food at lower prices.

11 Daily Changing Dishes, 9,500 Won All-You-Can-Eat Korean Food!

For just 9,500 won—less than 10,000 won—you can freely enjoy a buffet-style spread of 11 dishes, including four daily-changing main courses and side dishes. On top of that, you can enjoy fried chicken and draft beer, attracting an average of 600 to 700 customers a day... The owner works tirelessly, visiting the early morning markets every day to provide fresh food at affordable prices. Once ingredients are prepared, large-scale cooking begins immediately. As they must prepare food for over 700 people, the cooking process is no easy feat... Guarding the massive, boiling pot is truly a battle against the heat! They work with the air conditioner on even in the dead of winter... Getting pricked by sharp claws while seasoning 42kg of blue crabs is a common occurrence! Although the work is exhausting and tough, they say they feel a sense of reward seeing customers enjoy their meals... Let's follow the people striving to provide a warm and hearty meal to those who visit.

A feast of Chinese smoky flavors for just 14,900 won!

Chinese food is a favorite among Koreans! These days, a single bowl of Jajangmyeon or Jjamppong costs between 7,000 and 9,000 won... but here, you can enjoy unlimited servings of about 40 different Chinese dishes, including Guobaorou, Yusanseul, Eohyang Gaji, and Yangjangpi. The price is 14,900 won! Customers are drawn in by the fact that they can taste all these Chinese dishes in one place, which would otherwise be quite expensive if ordered à la carte. The secret to the low price lies in their efficient operational methods... They reduce labor costs through self-service and minimize ingredient waste by cooking in small batches rather than making large quantities at once. Thanks to this, customers can now always enjoy piping hot Chinese food... A Chinese restaurant bustling about, working harder to ensure they don't compromise on taste or price, even if it requires more effort! Let's take a look at the scene together.
