"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.

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.

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.

It's been a long time since I watched a cooking reality show. I've always been wary of shows with too much drama, contestants making dishes that are too ordinary, or judges whose insights into cooking aren't deep enough, sometimes overacting during their critiques.
But I'm really happy to say that this show doesn't give me those feelings at all. The production is refined and thoughtful, and the two judges are truly the heart and soul of the show. Their styles are different, but their understanding of food and their deep expertise are impressive. Their critiques are precise and often bring a smile. The contestants include some true culinary talents who not only have great skills but also unique perspectives on cooking.
I particularly like judge Ahn Sung-jae. Even though he's critiquing the dishes, his underlying cooking philosophy is worth savoring. Among the contestants, my favorite is Edward. Although he's a bit older, his dishes are filled with personal stories, cultural empathy, and imagination, making him shine. Then there's Triple Star, whose cooking skills are superb, combining refined techniques with concepts from global cuisines. Plus, he's just as good-looking as Song Joong-ki!
Even though I'm not involved in the culinary world, I'm glad I watched this Korean drama.

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!

"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!
