The global entertainment streaming service Netflix variety show "Culinary Class Wars" has confirmed production of season 3, once again triggering K-dopamine.
The culinary class war "Culinary Class Wars," in which hidden self-taught master "Black Spoon" chefs who aim to overturn class by taste alone and Korea's top star chefs "White Spoon" who seek to protect it engage in a fiery battle, has confirmed production of season 3 and returns with an even more powerful showdown of flavors.
Netflix raised the anchor for full-scale production of season 3 by starting recruitment of season 3 participants through its official social media on the 16th. While the past two seasons were contests between individual chefs, this season 3 is a contest between restaurants. Regardless of culinary genre, chefs can apply as teams of four representing each restaurant. The new format, in which chefs currently working together at the same establishment fight for the honor of their restaurant, is expected to pique interest. Individuals cannot apply, and teams composed of acquaintances or ad hoc groups not belonging to the same establishment cannot apply. However, teams can apply together if they are from the same-named establishment but different branches.
"Culinary Class Wars" led the cooking variety craze by ranking No. 1 in the global top 10 non-English shows for two consecutive years through season 1 and season 2. In particular, season 2 exploded dopamine every round with new and tense match themes and rule introductions. While preserving the fun of season 1, it captivated viewers worldwide as a more EVNNE survival through new changes. The two hidden White Spoon contestants faced a Black Spoon deciding round in round 1 where they had to be saved by both judges to survive; the round 3 Black-and-White team battle, where the losing team was entirely eliminated, was even more fierce; the last box in the revival round focused on the original taste of ingredients; the 1:1 Black-and-White alliance in round 4 produced a twist 1:1 death match that determined the top seven by pitting chefs who had once joined hands against each other; the infinite cooking paradise, which challenged contestants to set new high scores by using ingredients without limit; and the infinite cooking hell using carrot as the ingredient, which continued until only one person remained—all determined the two finalists, culminating in a final where chefs cooked for themselves that received great love. Above all, the drama of challenge and response shown by chefs who were sincere about cooking delivered K-dopamine to viewers worldwide. In season 1, the Black Spoon "Napoli Mafioso" Kwon Seong-jun challenged the White Spoons and won the championship, while in season 2 the hidden White Spoon Choi Kang-rok became the final survivor after a re-challenge, leaving a deep impression.
For season 3, Kim Eun-ji, PD of Studio Slam (CEO Yoon Hyun-joon), and writer Mo Eun-seol, who led the success of seasons 1 and 2, unite once again. Kim Eun-ji, PD, said, "Thanks to viewers around the world who gave much love through season 2, we can produce season 3, and I am truly grateful," adding, "For season 3 we will do our best to produce a work that meets viewers' expectations for 'Culinary Class Wars' with newly developed structure and entertainment."
The globally captivating "Culinary Class Wars" seasons 1 and 2 are now available to watch on Netflix.
