82

The Weekly Times suggests that for the next round of the Ultimate VS Supreme Menu competition, both chefs use the same ingredients and Yamaoka suggests vegetables. Kabara agrees on one condition, that they both use vegetables from the same farm, grown without the use of pesticides. Meanwhile Tabata Kinue invites Yamaoka, Kurita and Hanamura to a dinner she is preparing for her fiancée, Mr. Arakawa, and his mother. Kinue accidentally overcooks the rice after using a new rice-polishing machine, but they discover that problem was the rice had lost too much moisture during storage. On the evening of the Menu competition, Yamaoka presents cabbage rolls stuffed with swellfish shirako (白子) while Kaibara presents slivers of raw cabbage heart with a tomato sauce. Kaibara is declared the winner because his dish brought out the charms of the cabbage. Following the win, Kaibara gloats that Yamaoka ignored the unique quality of the raw cabbage, however Yamaoka looks forward to the second course based on turnip. (Source: Wikipedia)
