What happened in episode 3?

According to entertainment outlet TenAsia, the episode aired on October 31. Kang Han needed one more team member and recruited chef Park Geon-woo after he was hired at Familia. When the application deadline neared with a slot still open, Kang Han asked Choi Song-yi directly to join. She had long feared kitchens after people kept getting hurt whenever she entered one, but she decided to face her fear and learn basic cooking from him.

Why is Cha Woo-jin's rivalry important?

Cha Woo-jin, owner of the top restaurant Exception, lost to Kang Han at an overseas cooking competition in the past. The show's producer used that history to persuade him to appear on the program. Cha Woo-jin reacted strongly and visited Familia to declare he would win this time.
