[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] Baek Jong-won from 'Baek Jong-won's Alley Restaurant' pointed out the fishy smell at the samgyeop-gui (grilled pork belly) restaurant in Gongneung-dong.

On the afternoon of the 4th, SBS entertainment program 'Baek Jong-won's Alley Restaurant' aired a scene where Baek Jong-won visited the samgyeop-gui restaurant in the Gichatgil Alley of Gongneung-dong.

After the lunch service, Baek Jong-won entered the samgyeop-gui restaurant and immediately said, "You smell mackerel, right?"

That day, the samgyeop-gui restaurant offered soy sauce samgyeop-gui and a newly added menu item, grilled mackerel, for lunch. The owner of the samgyeop-gui restaurant mentioned a problem after the lunch service: "We have grilled mackerel and samgyeop-gui, but since the pork belly slices got thinner, the cooking speed increased. However, I used to think mackerel was faster, but there is about a 3 to 4-minute difference. There is a time gap."

He added, "(Because of the oven size) we can only cook 2 to 3 mackerel at a time. So the turnover... (is not good). I wanted to ask the CEO about this."

Baek Jong-won bluntly said, "If it were me, I would remove the mackerel." He pointed out, "I like grilled fish, but when you enter this restaurant and smell it, I think I would take out the grilled mackerel. (Samgyeopsal and mackerel) don't go well together."

In response, the samgyeop-gui restaurant owner said, "Mackerel is hard to eat at home... I was a bit greedy."

Baek Jong-won advised, "Here, customers who come in pairs will probably order both menus, but the time difference for each dish is a problem, and given the nature of this restaurant where dishes are served on individual plates, it's difficult to serve both at the same time."
