Culinary Class Wars

I just had to rave about this show because I LOVED IT SOOOOOOOOO MUCH! Everyone needs to watch it! It's not only incredibly well thought out, but also introduces unique methods of judging, different battle styles, and overall feels much more dynamic compared to similar American shows. The diversity and depth are astounding, making it far more engaging and entertaining.

As someone who's watched thousands of great movies from Bollywood, Hollywood, Korean dramas, and anime, this show truly stands out as my first in this genre. It's a breath of fresh air! The creative storytelling, intense moments, and unpredictable twists kept me hooked from start to finish. It's rare to find a show that manages to blend action, strategy, and emotion so seamlessly. Whether you're a fan of competition shows or just looking for something new, trust me, this one's a must-watch! You'll be on the edge of your seat the whole time!

Koreans truly put on the best competition shows on, whether it is cooking or physical shows, always including the top stars in their fields and mixing that with unknowns who are good or up and coming and want to go up. They add in drama and unbelievable sets and unique competitions. This one was divided between the white spoons (famous and Michelin Star chefs) team vs. The black spoons ( the talented or self taught chefs). Immediately some of the black spoons stand out who are unique characters that start early beating the professionals. Just to give one example, there is the Comic Book Chef who is self taught by reading comic books and making the dishes in the books unbelievably good, winning against the pros in a blind taste test. . Just fun overall. Won't spoil it but my favorite from the very beginning, did win so was very happy. His contender was extremely good in taste and a lot of it was trying to sell his story with the dish which was touching to a Korean I am sure but one comment may have been offending to a Patriot - after all. Anyway my star deduction has nothing to do with anything other than the one fact that I am thinking it may be produced in a way to make sure a white spoon and a black spoon survive for the final (just saying..) because they would never be able to have a second season otherwise - no Michelin or oro chefs would ever want to sign up again if none of them survived right? Not sure but the black spoon who went home #3) may have got the short end of the stick IMO?

No drama,no backstabbing, no political statement, no jealousy just pure talent and honest judgement .At first i was sceptical this would be another reality show full of drama just to get more views but i was wrong. It's hard to find this kinda reality show nowadays. The two finalist gave their best and evenly matched. Hopefully they'll have Season 2 and maintain the same judging criteria and the contestants have the same attitude. This kinda reality show focus solely on cooking talent, nothing else. For me everyone is a winner, they gave their best and did it from bottom of their heart. Well done chef's,don't give up!

"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.
