The fact that food is BTS's love language must be widely known to all veteran Armys by now. Even though they spend a lot of time listening to music, the boys are as passionate about food. Eating or cooking. The latter primarily alludes to Park Jimin and Jeon Jungkook, who have both declared their return with Are You Sure Season 2 and returned from the military. In the first season, the guys travelled from New York to Jeju Island in South Korea before arriving at Sapporo, Japan. The documentary followed them on the adventures they were on, but it was heavily focused on what they eat, be it local or store-bought.
California Burgers
With their first stop in the USA, Jimin and Jungkook stopped at Brennan’s By The Beach and enjoyed sip-worthy brews from High Nine Brewery. California burgers are a very popular street food style burger from the USA. So what sets these burgers apart, and why should you also have them at home? They are loaded with creamy avocado slices, crackling bacon, melty Monterey Jack, and juicy ground meat patties. Worcestershire sauce, onion and garlic powder, and other ingredients give it a lot of flavour.

Lobster Mac & Cheese
Tender, buttery lobster coated with mac and cheese. It's a dish fit for festivities and special events. Cavatappi pasta, which has beautiful spirals and ridges to hold onto the sauce, is mixed with decadent cheese sauce. The lobster is folded in, covered with breadcrumbs, and baked until bubbling and golden. A wide variety of wines and beverages go nicely with lobster mac and cheese. In order to balance the buttery lobster and salty cheese, it's important to keep the beverage light and pleasant. A traditional chardonnay or riesling bottle would be great, or if you're celebrating, add some bubbles!

Omakase Sushi
Sushi is frequently the first dish that comes to mind when people think about Japanese food. In the Japanese serving technique known as omakase, which translates to "trust me," the customer entrusts the sushi chef with creating a delicious multi-course meal. Every mouthful is a surprise because the menu isn't prepared in advance. Trying this at home can be enjoyable if you're hosting a lunch or dinner and you want to change the menu a little. Stick to maki and sashimi if you want to keep things simple. Sashimi is simple—it's just a piece of fish. Serve it with a small amount of sesame oil, Kewpie mayo, and soy sauce.

Carbonara, Barbeque And Beer
Classic carbonara, typical of Rome and its surrounding Lazio region, is made with eggs, pork cheek (guanciale), pecorino cheese and pepper. Italians get touchy when more ingredients are added to the mix. The sauce is typically served with spaghetti or other long pasta, and it's a perfect indulgence for bacon lovers. The eggs and cheese create a thick and velvety sauce that coats the pasta, while the pancetta or bacon adds a salty and smoky flavour. Some variations of carbonara sauce may include cream or white wine. Enjoy some non-vegetarian barbecue on the side. These smoky, delicious dishes, which range from Texas brisket to Korean bulgogi and Indian tandoori, provide a global flair to your weekend meals with powerful flavours and simple adjustments. Pair it up with your favourite beer, and you have a lavish spread to feast on.

Korean Ramen
Korean ramen is the ultimate go-to dish when you want to enjoy a wholesome meal without cooking 4-5 dishes. The recipe of the noodle dish can be experimented with to suit your palate by adding vegan ingredients, cheese, tweaking the consistency of the base, and more. It screams peace, food coma, and comfort. Such sessions not only help you catch up with the on-screen chaos that’s unfolding as you watch Jimin and Jungkook in Are You Sure Season 1 but also recharge your body for the working week ahead.
