Netflix’s Culinary Class Wars is creating a huge sensation.
Episodes 8 to 10 of Culinary Class Wars was unveiled on October 1st, featuring the exciting round with a convenience store food mission. The chefs got creative, transforming everyday convenience store food into impressive dishes. The next challenge was the TOP 8 showdown, where black and white spoon chefs teamed up for a restaurant mission. The TOP 8 chefs are Jung Ji Sun, Edward Lee, Jang Ho Jun, Choi Hyun Seok, Auntie Omakase #1, Cooking Maniac, Napoli Mafia, and Triple Star.
After another thrilling round, the semi-final part 1, called “Cook Your Life,” had the chefs pour their personal stories into their dishes, creating powerful, heartfelt plates. One chef won and moved on to the finals, but the next challenge, the second semi-final round dubbed “Endless Cooking Hell,” promises to push the chefs even further.
