"Edward Lee should've won," Korean netizens react to the final results of 'Culinary Class Wars'

AKP STAFF

'Culinary Class Wars' has made another significant impact on the global influence of K-content. Bringing culinary competition to another level, 'Culinary Class Wars' has become the talk in many online communities with its immense popularity.

'Culinary Class Wars' is a reality cooking show where 80 "Black Spoon" underdog chefs face off against 20 elite "White Spoon" chefs in a fierce competition to claim the title of the best. The show has garnered widespread attention both in South Korea and internationally for its unique format, pitting rising talents against culinary veterans.

With the finale now aired, many Korean netizens are actively discussing the latest episodes and the reveal of the show's winner - Napoli Matfia.

Before the finals, Napoli Matfia was the first finalist to move to the next round. For the semi-final round, to choose the second finalist, the remaining chefs were challenged to an 'Infinite Cooking Hell.' 

During this round, each chef must create a new dish every 30 minutes using one ingredient. Every 30 minutes, one chef will be eliminated and chefs who are unable to finish cooking their cuisine would also be eliminated. The round will continue until one chef remains standing.

For this round, the chefs were presented with Tofu and were challenged to make infinite dishes using this one ingredient. Ultimately, Edward Lee was the last chef standing and got the chance to face Napoli Matfia in the final showdown.

The results for this round were:

2nd place: Edward Lee
3rd place: Triple Star
4th place: Cooking Maniac
5th place: Jang Ho Joon
6th place: Auntie Omakase #1
7th place: Jung Ji Sun
8th place: Choi Hyun Seok

Many viewers were stunned by the intensity of the semi-final round, with some commenting that it felt more like the show's finale. Edward Lee, in particular, received widespread praise for his innovative and ingenious cooking skills, leaving many impressed by his performance. 

Some Korean netizens shared their thoughts on the final results of the show and commented on how Edward Lee should've been the final winner.

They commented:

"In my heart, 'Tofu Hell' was the real finale. Edward Lee is the best."


"Edward Lee is my personal #1. He's a genius."


"The match against Triple Star was more exciting than the final. The final felt like a safe win with Italian and Western dishes, which is valuable, but I feel he wouldn’t have survived 'Tofu Hell' with just Italian cuisine."


"'Tofu Hell' was the real deal. Edward Lee is my personal #1."

"Edward's passion was insane."


"That Matfia guy was arrogant while Edward Lee was so humble."

"I want to try Edward Lee and Triple Star's food."


"Edward Lee is my #1, and Matfia is second."

"The match between Triple Star and Edward Lee felt like the true final."

"Edward Lee’s tofu dish could be sold as a course meal, it looked so delicious!"


"Edward Lee is truly amazing."

"The final episodes were the best."

"I really thought this was the most intense round in this show."

"I think Edward Lee should've won."

"Edward Lee is a genius. I realized you need to be smart to be a chef too."

"This was so good."

"Chef Edward Lee is my favorite."


"Chef Edward Lee is the winner for me."
