Culinary Class Wars Recap: Restaurant Mission Team Revenues, Eliminations, Final 8, and More Insights

2024/10/01

Netflix Korea’s Culinary Class Wars has released episodes 7 to 10, diving deeper into the exhilarating restaurant challenge that has captured the hearts of food enthusiasts around the globe. This show has rapidly gained popularity, making its debut at the top of the non-English series chart.

As the competition intensified, contestants faced their most intricate challenge so far — managing a restaurant as a cohesive team. The latest undertaking, known as the “Restaurant Mission,” necessitated a blend of culinary aptitude, strategic planning, and effective leadership to avoid elimination and secure a spot among the final eight.

In this high-pressure phase of Culinary Class Wars, teams were formed without regard to their previous ‘Black’ or ‘White’ chef classifications. The remaining 15 chefs were entrusted with the complete responsibility of creating and managing their restaurants. From menu selection to pricing, contestants executed every detail.

With a demanding timeline of 24 hours for preparation and a 2.5-hour serving window, the stakes were higher than ever, as the survival of each team hinged on a combination of sales performance and evaluations from judges Chef Paik Jong-won and Michelin-star Chef Ahn Sung-jae.

A notable twist in this round of Culinary Class Wars was the internal voting system, where each team had to covertly eliminate one member they perceived as the least beneficial. Those eliminated had to form new teams and launch their own restaurants. This voting process introduced feelings of betrayal and heightened tension, challenging chefs to balance competition with team dynamics.
