Today (the 16th) the long-awaited Netflix 'Culinary Class Wars2' (hereafter Culinary Class Wars2') returns.
Netflix's year-end centerpiece 'Culinary Class Wars2' will be released at 5 p.m. that day.
Previously, 'Culinary Class Wars' opened to an unprecedented wave of popularity. Immediately after its release, a hot gourmet craze swept the country, and 'EVNNE', '익힘' and other catchphrases that appeared like supernovas were even said to have presented a new paradigm for viewers to describe gastronomy. The chefs who appeared not only rose to stardom overnight, but restaurants also let out joyful cheers amid fierce reservation competition. As evidence of this, the list of restaurants owned by the chefs appearing in the season 2 trailer is gaining popularity online ahead of the season 2 release.
Netflix's last variety show of 2025, 'Culinary Class Wars' depicts a fierce culinary class war in which underground masters known as 'black spoons' try to overturn class through taste alone and South Korea's top star chefs known as 'white spoons' try to defend it.
From Lee Jun, a pioneer of fine dining in Korea and a two-Michelin-star chef, to Son Jong-won, who earned one Michelin star each for Korean and Western cuisine, Seonjae, a master of temple cuisine and Korea's first holder of that title, Chu Deok-juk, a Chinese cuisine master with 57 years of experience, Park Hyo-nam, a French master with 47 years of experience, Jeong Ho-young, a leading Japanese cuisine star chef of Korea, Sam Kim, an Italian star chef who communicates with the world through food, Raymond Kim, a Canada-born star chef who adds Korea to Western cuisine, Song Hoon, a judge on Master Chef Korea season 4, and Lim Seong-geun, the winner of Hansik Grand Battle season 3, form a dazzling white spoon lineup, and from neighborhood hidden gems only I want to know about to hot-spot owners with hellish waiting lists and emerging powerhouses in the restaurant industry, the underground 'real' master black spoon chefs who will dominate the world are also poised to appear, raising expectations. Above all, two hidden white spoons still veiled will also appear, and new rules that will heighten the excitement are previewed, increasing anticipation.
Paik Jong-won and Anh Sung-jae, who in season 1 were praised for balancing chemistry, expertise and mass appeal, again serve as the two main judges this time.
Episodes 1–3 of 'Culinary Class Wars2', which will feature a fierce battle between white spoons who must overwhelm by taste alone and the challenging black spoons, will meet viewers around the world exclusively on Netflix at 5 p.m. that day.
