Former swimmer Park Tae-hwan showcased his unique appetite.

In the broadcast of KBS2's 'New Menu Launch Restaurant' on the 6th, Park Tae-hwan's daily life as a new chef was depicted.

On that day, Park Tae-hwan quickly finished 9 slices of bread along with strawberry butter jam, rosé champagne jam, and clotted cream, catching attention. Upon seeing this, Han-hae exclaimed, "He's a bread fanatic!"

When asked, "Are you a big eater?" Park Tae-hwan replied, "I'm not a big eater. I wasn't a big eater, but there was a time when I was a bit of one." He continued, "During my swimming days, I used to eat quite often. There were no limits to how much I could eat. Because I ate without restrictions, I would eat 60 to 70 plates at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant."

Additionally, Park Tae-hwan mentioned, "I always bought bread at least once every two days. When I couldn't control myself, I would eat up to a whole loaf of bread." When the production team questioned, "Why are you lying? Didn't you say you ate 2 loaves?" Park Tae-hwan was taken aback and said, "If I say 2 loaves, doesn't that sound foolish? Like a fool who eats a lot?" He then added, "I eat a little. I really don't eat a lot," which drew laughter.

Meanwhile, 'New Menu Launch Restaurant' airs every Friday at 8:30 PM.
