Netflix's Culinary Class Wars is must-watch reality TV, as an innovative cooking competition that features brutal challenges and diabolical twists, similar to the likes of Physical: Asia and Squid Game. Hosted by Paik Jong-won and Ahn Sung-jae, the Korean reality show gathers 100 chefs vying for a 300 million won (roughly $203,000) prize. There's even a built-in underdog story, as 20 of the chefs are legendary celebrity chefs, known as White Spoons, face off against the other 80, who are up-and-comers looking to prove their skills against their idols and mentors.
Culinary Class Wars returned for season 2 in December 2025, bringing back iconic challenges like Infinite Cooking Hell while introducing complex new themes, such as "Just One Dish For Myself." After the January 13 season finale, in which Choi Kang-rok defeated Culinary Monster to claim the win, fans are hoping that Netflix is prepping another season.
