The second season of Culinary Class Wars has come to an end, and Netflix has crowned its big winner. After a season of epic cooking challenges and blind taste tests, Choi Kang-rok, a White Spoon chef and the only returning contestant from Culinary Class Wars season 1, has clinched the title.
“I’m not someone who makes food that’s exceptional,” Choi says during the finale, which dropped on Netflix on January 13, 2026. “I’m just like all the unseen chefs across the country who quietly and diligently work in their kitchens, and like all the people who simply cook for a living. I’m just one of them. I’ll keep your words close to my heart, and I’ll cherish the relationships I made here, and I’ll continue to devote myself and my thoughts to food.”
