Delicious Rendezvous (The Best of Rest Stops / 맛남의 광장)

(Beginning of Local Food Revival Project)

(Mr. Baek met farmers in person and heard about their struggles.)

(To give strength to farmers and fishermen,)

(And the first supporter answered to his request.)

(Daddy Long Legs, Vice-Chairman Chung Jong Jin)

(Good influences started for the sake of local farm produce.)

(And the second Daddy Long Legs joined this walk.)

(Executive Chef Hamish Neale of the global H hotel)

(Yeosu anchovies are amazing. They're delicious.)

(He offered to help first for farmers and fishermen.)

Right now,

I'm on my way...

to meet our supporters...

to help promote the consumption of local farm produce.

I've come all the way to Bundang.

In order to promote the consumption of local farm produce,

we need help from various fields.

We can't do it ourselves.

We need supporters.

Gosh, it's huge.

(It's the biggest search portal in the country this time.)

(He hopes it becomes success today.)

Hello.

Hello.

- I'm a fan of yours. - Thank you.

(His steps have become lighter thanks to his fans' support.)

Hello.

(He wishes the talk goes successfully.)

Will this even open? Oh, thank you.

Hello.

- Where... Oh, here. Hello. - Hello.

- It's nice. Are we doing it here? - That's right.

All right, let's see.

You look more handsome in person.

Don't say that.

I'm telling you.

I'm sure you've never seen really handsome guys.

You've got to see Dong Jun in person.

We actually expected you to come with him.

Oh, you expected him.

You'll all be dead if he comes.

Because he's famous.

Hello.

Gosh, it's so hard to invite you.

- Oh, I came here to see you myself. - Right.

- Even now, I... - Don't say that.

Thank you for answering our urgent request.

No problem.

We had to come here, knowing it was not polite.

No, I'm just embarrassed to do something like this.

- Please don't mind it. Feel free. - Okay.

(Han Seong Sook, the first CEO in the history of Korea)

(She's embarrassed to be around cameras.)

Don't worry at all.

It's not enough, but because you're feeling uncomfortable...

We heard you're sensitive around cameras.

Sorry that I'm being fussy.

No, that's natural. It was the same for me.

When I first started being on TV...

Well, I was comfortable around cameras from the start.

Let me tell you something.

We usually have around 8 or 9 cameras ready to film,

but we've come here with the least equipment today.

We'll hardly have anything to use.

We reached you out of the blue...

regarding our show, Delicious Rendezvous.

- Yes, I know. - Oh, you've watched it?

- I did. - Its purpose is...

to give help and support...

to farmers and fishermen...

through the show because they are...

faced with a lot of difficulties.

Before the first episode got aired,

we filmed various episodes,

but the farmers didn't show positive responses...

about the show.

But as our episodes got aired,

we started to feel the pressure...

because local farmers and fishermen...

welcomed us so much when we went to film the show.

It's not that this would promote their sales,

but they were happy about the fact...

that someone was interested...

in their difficulties.

It made our staff and cast...

become willing to work harder, but the problem is...

we can't do this on ourselves.

There's a limit to broadcasts.

Aged people depend on TV and gain information by watching it,

but it's not for young people. They get it from search engines.

If we can make use of TV media and search engines together,

it'll be of great help...

in promoting the sales...

- of farm produce. - A lot of people watch TV,

and if they can find the same information online...

I search things while watching TV too.

That's what people use search engines for.

So we'd like some help...

from a search portal...

that's favored by a lot of people...

in the young generation.

We've also learned about those...

who are concerned about how to sell and distribute...

- their farm products. - I see.

We have a related program...

- Really? I didn't know that. - within our website.

It aids direct deliveries from local producers.

Also, first harvested products...

- often have low quality. - That's right.

They're sold all together at cheap price.

So we've held a campaign for these products.

- We've tried various programs. - I see.

I had no idea. I'm sorry.

I only looked up the entertainment category.

It's called Food Window.

- You really have it. - It's about direct deliveries...

and famous local products.

This is the same as what we do.

If you can connect this with yours, it'll be great for us.

We have a lot of people who offered their information to us too.

If you can connect your show...

with the programs on our website,

it'll be really nice for us.

But why did you decline when we asked for an interview?

Because it's a TV show.

It's easier than you think. It's not a big deal.

We need you on the show...

because the viewers will grow to have faith...

if you appear on the show yourself instead of talking on the phone.

Here's what I like about this show.

It makes the viewers think...

that they aren't the only ones supporting.

So if a big company like this...

joins in for help,

it will be of great support...

not just to us,

but also to a lot of viewers...

who support our show.

If you can introduce...

farm products in season...

every week,

- we can prepare accordingly. - Exactly.

This is great. Our show mainly focuses on...

food materials in season...

or farm products with problems like overproduction.

We come up with recipes with them.

But the thing is...

it's hard to share recipes on TV...

because if we make it too detailed,

the show will become boring and the viewers won't stay tuned.

- It's what we're good at. - Exactly.

- You can't go into detail on TV. - We can collaborate in that sense.

A large number of people...

share recipes on their blogs.

We can give information about official recipes...

so people share their actual experiences.

- We can collaborate on it too. - That's one way.

We can connect all those together.

It's all set.

Well, anyway.

- You're on board now. - Okay.

We've got...

one more of our supporters.

Wait, should we say one?

The whole company.

Right, this is unbelievable.

- It's great. - Did I say things all right?

This is more than enough. You're good, so why so scared?

You made me worried for nothing.

- You're very good. - I know.

Thank you so much.

This will be of great help to us.

We're here to work, so we better turn this on.

Let me carry it.

I'm better at filming than you.

These are carrots.

Didn't you see them in cartoons?

- Is it your first time? - Yes.

Gosh, the leaves are so long.

- Do you know mugwort? - Yes.

Aren't they similar to mugwort?

- Oh, right. - The leaves.

Small mugwort.

Carrots are underneath that surface. You can't see them, can you?

- It's really my first time. - You're one tacky Seoulite.

Did you know a lot of carrots are produced in Jeju?

No.

- Jeju is famous for carrots? - You know nothing.

Jeju carrots are also used for making juice.

- Hello. - Hello.

- May I go in? - Sure.

Do we...

- step on the furrow? - Yes, you can step on it.

"You can step on it."

- Hello. - Welcome.

- Welcome. - Hello.

- Alone? Oh, wait. - "Welcome."

- It's confusing every time. - "Welcome."

I almost said, "No, I'm with someone."

It's "welcome" in Jeju the dialect.
