Culinary Class Wars

cooking competition · Netflix · reality TV · South Korea

Two chef teams compete. Chefs are divided into white spoons (experienced veterans) and black spoons, creating two rival teams that face off in elimination challenges.

Massive prize money. The winning chef takes home ₩300 million, which is a huge reward that makes the competition super intense.

Started in 2024. The first season premiered on Netflix in 2024, and it became so popular that the show got renewed for more seasons.

Similar format to Physical: 100. Like another famous Korean competition show, Culinary Class Wars uses an elimination format where chefs compete until only the best remain.

Season three going big. Netflix announced that season three will switch to a team-based format, meaning chefs will work together instead of competing individually.
