The best competition kshow of all time

Definitely worth the hype for all it has to offer, an ultimate journey of food porn topped with extremely classy cinematography and fiery soundtrack all cooked in an unimaginable scale. The thrill and suspense of the matches are so flavorful, it is truly engaging to watch. This is really hands down the best competition kshow of all time, so well made and a huge feast well served for the eyes.

The Best Cooking Show of All Time!

I’ve watched many cooking competitions, but Culinary Class War is in a league of its own. This show has everything I could ask for: talented chefs, intense cooking battles, innovative ideas, and authentic Korean cuisine that makes you want to hop into the kitchen yourself!

The format of the show is fresh and exciting. From the challenging missions to the unexpected twists, each episode kept me on the edge of my seat. The chemistry between the judges and the contestants is spot-on, and I appreciate how they respect and celebrate the art of cooking. The show truly captures the essence of Korean cuisine and presents it in a way that feels both traditional and modern.

The chefs featured on Culinary Class War are incredibly skilled and passionate, and watching them create masterpiece dishes under pressure is absolutely thrilling. The judges’ critiques are insightful and balanced, highlighting both the strengths and areas for improvement without being harsh.

Overall, this show sets a new standard for culinary competitions. It’s more than just a cooking show—it’s a celebration of food, culture, and creativity. Culinary Class War isn’t just about who wins; it’s about the journey, the learning, and the appreciation of good food.

If you love cooking competitions or want to see Korean cuisine in all its glory, I highly recommend Culinary Class War. It’s a must-watch!

Best Cooking Show of 2024 on Netflix

Dang, Chef Edward made me teary eyed. Even if he didn’t win, he fought a good fight and earned my respect as a chef. Emerging as the top White Spoon chef is already an amazing achievement. To me, his demeanor is very down to earth and sincere when he cooks. His KFC creation using the tofu was ?

It makes sense to me that they’d choose a Black Spoon as a winner through Chef Napoli Matfia. It will give inspiration to aspiring chefs to go for their dreams rather than letting another White Spoon (a Korean-American at that sadly). Still, I love Chef Edward and I became a fan! If Tofu Hell was the final challenge, I think Chef Edward will win against Napoli Matfia.

This was a great show but I hope they tweak the number of judges to an odd number to break ties. I love another judge addition, Chef Paik and Ahn had a tough job judging. Won’t mind if Chef Edward returns as an additional judge next season. Please bring him back in!

Bring it on Season 2, an easy 4/5 stars for S1. My wishes:

1. Odd number of judges, make it 3 to break ties.
2. Tweak the restaurant challenge as it was unfair to the fourth team that was formed. Less manpower and time.
3. Cooking Hell challenges best for Final 2.

Probably the best cooking show ever!

For me, this is the best cooking show ever made and one of the best Korean shows I've seen.
I learned so much about Korean food, ingredients and spices.
Congratulations to all contestants and happy my 2 favourites were in the top 3 :)
I recommend this show 100%, every episode is more and more intense!

The fact they found so many different chefs, that have the same love for cooking and in particular korean cuisine was amazing. I loved the suspense, the way they let us wait weekly for new episodes was the cherry on top.

I loved how they gave certain cooks a second chance was worth it. although i think the judges were sometimes too strict. overall, i enjoyed this show.
but then again, i have nothing with cooking but shows like these (alongside masterchef) have a very special place in my heart. due to the people that share their passion so willingly

A new form of delightful torture when you are watching it hungry

I'm in overall very satisfied by this new competition cooking show launched by Netflix. It is a bit reminiscent as some of their other survival shows (such as Physical 100 with one hundred contestants competing). Here, it is similar principle: 100 individuals (mostly all skilled-professionals active in restauration field / highly respected chefs and so on..) are competing with each other through various cooking challenges.

The food is really appetizing, the candidates have pretty varied skills and cooking styles and there are enough variety in the challenges they do to not bore the viewers. In addition to having a good cast, the editing style of Netflix as well as the way they often finish their episodes on a cliffhanger make it an highly bingeable TV show. The pacing of the competition is really nice and tight with the format being a breath of fresh air from the usual cooking shows.

I would recommend this to people that are looking for a refreshing take on competition / survival cooking show. The food is simply mouthwatering so be careful to have some food at home when you watch it (or be prepared to be delightfully tortured). I hope they make a season 2 with hopefully some new ideas to keep the concept interesting without repetition.

Best Food Combination

The story is about the battle between black and white spoons. Black Spoon mostly is a chef that have a local businesses and have their specialization. Meanwhile the White Spoon mostly that have a big name with lot of awards and achievement. From 100 chef, only one that will be chosen as the best chef in this reality show. That's where it's very interesting to see how they innovated to make or improve a food with ingredient and law that have been set.

Very exciting series

This was an astounding show.
Everything screamed top production.
The prize money is a tip to how seriously they designed this competition. The chef's were terrific and their personalities were captured as they performed under increasing pressure. The food and photography, the set designs and music were all very well thought out.
Never a dull moment and exciting concept.
