    A Culinary Showdown That Will Leave You Hungry for More

    -Review after watching 7 episodes-

    "A Culinary Competition Like No Other"

    Culinary Class Wars stands out from other food competition shows by showcasing an incredible variety of dishes, keeping the audience engaged with its fresh take on the genre. The elimination process, starting with 80 contestants and narrowing down to 20, is gripping and full of tension, making it hard to predict who will come out on top.

    The unique concept of White 20 vs. Black 20 adds an extra layer of excitement, particularly as the White team's pride and honor are on the line, pushing them to perform at their best. This dynamic creates a thrilling atmosphere, with the stakes feeling higher with every episode.

    What truly elevates the show is the unbeatable duo of judges: one being a renowned expert in the restaurant franchise industry, and the other a Michelin 3-star chef. Their combined expertise ensures that the dishes are not only judged on their culinary merit but also on their potential for mainstream success, adding an extra dimension to the competition. The authority of these judges is unquestionable, making their critiques both insightful and unchallengeable.

    With such a strong foundation, the upcoming episodes are sure to deliver even more excitement, and I can't wait to see how the competition unfolds.

    ------------ -Review after watching all episodes-

    "A Culinary Showdown That Will Leave You Hungry for More"

    Culinary Class Wars isn't just a cooking show-it's an adrenaline-pumping journey through the world of food that you didn't know you needed. Forget the typical lineup of Korean dishes you might expect; this show serves up a global feast with dishes spanning from traditional Korean to Japanese, Chinese, Western, and more. What makes it truly special is the incredible creativity and technical mastery behind every plate. Each dish tells a story, filled with the passion and life experiences of the chefs, blending flavors you've never even imagined.

    The competition is fierce, and let's just say-once it starts, you won't be able to stop watching. The structure is designed to keep you guessing and glued to your screen. Every episode adds layers of tension, with the stakes so high you'll find yourself on the edge of your seat. Trust me, you'll want to know how it all plays out. But, I'll leave that delicious detail for you to discover.

    The judges? Absolute powerhouses. One, a legend in the world of culinary business with a reputation that transcends borders, and the other, a Michelin 3-star chef who embodies perfection. Together, they bring both expertise and charisma, offering feedback that's sharp, precise, and impossible to argue with. Their critiques not only elevate the dishes but also drive the competition in a way that's both intense and fair.

    If you're into food, storytelling, or simply watching world-class talent battle it out, Culinary Class Wars is your next must-watch obsession. It's not just about the food; it's about the heart and soul behind it. You'll be hooked-and hungry for more.

    Dramatic! One of a kind!

    Watching this series really was refreshing. It was a unique take on cooking competition and had me hooked. I was so into it that i mark the dates where the next episode comes out. Each round of the competition differed dramatically and were surprisingly fair... The judges are quite the deal. The set, lighting, camera work is beyond perfect... Some of the dishes (and chefs) are beyond perfect that you question if its a show or scripted ?? One of my favourite rounds were restaurant round and black spoons vs while spoons. Give it a go recommend 10/10. (i even made an imdb account to post this review! Hehe)

    High-Stakes Flavour Showdown: Culinary Class Wars Delivers Unmatched Tension and Thrills

    "Culinary Class Wars" is hands down one of the best cooking shows I've ever seen! Unlike typical cooking competitions, this show really stands out by building intense tension from start to finish. What sets it apart is watching world-class chefs, alongside hobbyists, truly put their reputations on the line-it's not just a battle for the best dish, it's a battle for pride. The fear and pressure you see on their faces during each challenge is palpable, making it a real nail-biter. The unique judging style is a breath of fresh air, breaking away from the conventional formats of other cooking shows. It brings a new level of excitement and unpredictability, keeping you glued to the screen. Definitely a must-watch for fans of culinary competitions!

    Move Over Chef Gordon Ramsey and Master Chef

    Whomever is producing these Korean Shows, you're doing a fantastic job. So much more in production value than any ohter American made chef show. Just the production set at the beginning is fantastic., let alone the individual cooking areas. I watched both of the Physical 100 shows. They were both great. The reason I didn't give it 10/10 is because they reduced the 80 to 20 to quickly. BTW, I've only watched two episodes and will bing watch the rest.

    If you like cooking shows, if you like Master Chef shows, I think you will like this also. Very well produced.

    To Erik_Surewaard. Please don't write a reveiw than not rate it. It is obvious that you are a fanboy of Master Chef and any other kind of chef production will not hold up to your standards, no matter how good. Do you think the first person who opened a fast food place will sue every other fast food place that opens? That's rediculous. There is always room for more chef shows.

    Thank you for your time.

    Refreshing NEW concept!

    "Culinary Class Wars" on Netflix is an absolute delight! I gave it 9 stars because it's such a refreshing twist on the typical cooking competition shows. While some compare it to MasterChef, I completely disagree-this show stands out with its unique concept. It's funny, competitive, and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

    The decor and rules add an exciting flair, and I loved seeing the diversity of Korean cuisine showcased. The chefs are all so likable and bring an extra layer of enjoyment. I also love how the jury decides the winner-they sit in a cave, which adds such a cool, mysterious vibe!
