Episode Title:
A Pride of Young Lions.
Episode Description:
Day 3 passes without much improvement. Soma notices that though Kuga is getting steady business, the long wait time and the need for quick eating at peak times frustrates the diners. On Day 4, Soma adds tables and chairs to his booth, and a remade version of his Yukihira-style mapo tofu by adding noodles and a giant mystery meatball with curry in it. Its aroma and intriguing appearance appeal to Kuga's frustrated customers, and they begin to defect to Soma's booth. Just as customer numbers begin to get out of hand, Mimasaka comes to help. As evening falls, Soma and Megumi's friends from other booths and members of Megumi's Regional Cuisine RS arrive to help cook and draw in more customers. Together, they achieve first place in sales on Day 4, beating Kuga's restaurant. The Shiomi Seminar booth also manages to attract customers and make up for their losses.
