Lee Yeon Bok survives by defeating Kim Kwan Hoon with a 4.0 rating... Refunds

Chinese cuisine master Lee Yeon Bok has secured his survival by defeating Kim Kwan Hoon, the CEO of 'Dookki Tteokbokki.' In the 6th episode of tvN's 'Street Restaurant Fighter' (hereafter referred to as 'SREFA') aired on July 26, a 'fixed price' battle took place set in the Street Beer Festival commercial district. The tension was high as 18 survivors from the first round participated in this showdown, with the fate of one team's closure on the line. In the previous French master match, Edward Kwon emerged victorious, and in the 5,000 won lowest price match, Jung Ho Young survived by beating Kim Min Sung.

A 0.3-point difference decides the outcome: Refunds haunt Kim Kwan Hoon

In the 20,000 won matchup, Lee Yeon Bok's 'Bok-Bok' team and Kim Kwan Hoon's 'Everything About Tteokbokki' team were decided by star ratings rather than total sales. Although both teams fought fiercely until the second half, their final sales figures were identical. However, in the star rating evaluation, Lee Yeon Bok's 'Bok-Bok' team recorded 4.0 stars, while Kim Kwan Hoon's team stalled at 3.7. Ultimately, Lee Yeon Bok took the victory with a final score of 2-0.

Kim Kwan Hoon seemed to have a chance at a comeback, leading Lee Yeon Bok by two orders in total number of orders. However, a series of refunds occurred at the last minute when customers failed to pick up their food. This caused the sales to tie, causing him to lose his momentum. Kim expressed his regret, saying, "If only those two orders hadn't been canceled," but he accepted the result, stating, "I lost, but I fought well. I have no regrets. You did so well."

The victorious Lee Yeon Bok teased his next strategy, saying, "I learned a great lesson through this. I felt the immense importance of star ratings."

A fierce battle with an 18,836 won difference: Kim Mi Ryung's tenacity leads to a comeback victory

In the subsequent 10,000 won Korean food battle, Chef Kim Mi Ryung of team 'Gotgan' defeated Chef Cho Seo Hyung of team 'The Star in My Heart.' Cho Seo Hyung presented 'Mountain of Jeyuk' and 'Sesame Gimbap' as his menu, while Kim Mi Ryung featured 'Fried Boiled Pork' and 'Pork Rind.' Kim attracted customers with a strategy of offering ginseng fritters, limited to 60 servings, by purchasing inexpensive broken ginseng.

In the first half, Kim Mi Ryung's 'Gotgan' team recorded 1,173,800 won in sales, leading Cho Seo Hyung's 786,400 won. However, the tide seemed to turn during the star rating evaluation, as Cho Seo Hyung earned 4.5 stars, significantly outpacing Kim Mi Ryung (2.6 stars). Kim made a decisive move by purchasing additional chicken breast to sell six more servings of fried chicken.

In the final combined results, Kim Mi Ryung recorded 962,516 won. Kim Mi Ryung secured her survival with a narrow margin of just 18,836 won over Cho Seo Hyung.
