Netflix Korea’s Culinary Class Wars recently released episodes 7 to 10, taking fans deeper into the competition’s thrilling restaurant challenge. This show has become a favorite for food lovers globally, debuting at the top of the non-English series chart.
As the competition heated up, viewers saw the contestants navigate their most complex challenge yet — running a restaurant as part of a team. The latest mission, dubbed the "Restaurant Mission," required a mix of strategy, culinary skills, and leadership to avoid elimination and make it to the final eight.
In this high-stakes round of this Culinary Class Wars episode, teams were formed regardless of their previous 'Black' or 'White' chef status. The surviving 15 chefs were tasked with creating and running their restaurant. From determining the menu to setting prices, everything was up to the contestants.
They were given 24 hours to prepare and a 2.5-hour window to serve their dishes. The pressure was immense, with team survival depending on a combination of sales performance and scores from the judges Chef Paik Jong-won, and Michelin-star Chef Ahn Sung-jae.
A unique twist in this round of Culinary Class Wars was the internal vote system, where each team had to secretly vote out one member they believed was the least helpful. The eliminated members were then required to form a new team and start their restaurant. This vote injected a sense of betrayal and tension among the teams, as chefs had to navigate both competition and team dynamics.
At the end of the mission, the top eight spots were retained by Choi Hyun-seok, Ho- jun Jang, Cooking Stone, Imokase No. 1, Triple Star, Jeong Ji-seon, Napoli Matfia, and Edward Lee.
