In Flushing, Queens, New York, Lidia meets David and Jessica, who are preparing for their traditional Korean wedding ceremony. Jessica welcomes Lidia into her kitchen for an appetizing introduction to Korean cooking – a cuisine that Lidia finds surprisingly familiar.
"There were parallels between the Korean cuisine, what they were cooking, and the Italian cuisine," she notes.
Noted designer Isaac Mizrahi creates a special outfit for Lidia to wear to her first Korean-American wedding, while Survivor champion and America Revealed Host Yul Kwon offers his insight on Korean food, as well as Korean culture, and tradition.
"Korean cuisine is very spicy, it’s very flavorful," Kwon tells Lidia. "I think Korean food is one of the ways I sort of reconnected to my culture."
