Netflix tanked the semifinals by making it more interesting than the final challenge - which was just to make 1 measly dish. So much hype for semifinals and made us all root for Chef Edward Lee and then came down to naught 😅😅 Netflix should learn from proper cooking survival shows. Heck, they could even learn Even Hell’s Kitchen which is on Netflix. It has an impressive final challenge where they had to run a restaurant. The final was a let down.
if you want to watch more of him there was a korean show called please take care of my fridge where celebrities would bring their fridge then request foods to be cooked by the chefs based on the ingredients from said fridge and he was really funny there 😂
@@sbae1346 i rewatched it on netflix sometimes ago but i was looking for it just now and it's gone, looks like it got removed. the other site is viki but only available to certain regions. there's some clip here on yt but idk if it's all there
It was more exciting than the finals. IMO Netflix tanked the final challenge. How could they compare Tofu hell vs cooking 1 measly dish. Netflix should learn from Hell’s Kitchen. Their final challenge is amazing and apt as the last challenge. Culinary class war’s final was so anticlimactic
I wonder how the production team able to find someone legend and gastronomical as Chef Edward Lee for Season 2 not to mention his personality is too kind and humble
You can tell how much respect he has for Edward Lee. It def comes from his background, studying in New York where Ed Lee is from. He came to New York because of a Michelin star Korean chef. He was the one that voted for Ed Lee to be a leader for the restaurant round (you can tell because he was the one chosen to speak for him).
@@blueteeth888I think @maddiemcnugget1076 was referring to how after Ed Lee was announced as the third head chef that Triple Star spoke on Chef Ed Lee's skills. Hence he likely voted for him as most likely to win the competition.. Whereas Napoli Matfia chose to be his interpreter.
This is literally the BEST cooking reality show ever globally. Everything was near perfect, from the design, selection and execution of cast and program. So huge recognition must be given to the production team, besides the outstanding chefs shown. I never ceased to be amazed by the innovation and creativity of the Korean race. So a big KUDOS to everyone involved. Thank you for showing us CCW. You all deserve every recognition, reward and admiration by the world!
I had one complaint. During the team mission where they opened their restaurant. They didn't have to do the ''outcast'' team dirty like that. Yea it gave somewhat of an entertainment value as they created an underdog, but it still left a sour taste in my mouth.
@@abouttime2569yes I agree with that , they had a big disadvantage , they were short in time and number compares to other teams , I was waiting that they'll help them or give them an advantage but didn't happen
Let's be honest and real it's not the best cooking show , I personally have seen so many cooking show and it has some downs and some unfair points , starting from the early face off between the white and black spoon that I found it too early and most of the results were like obvious so many talented black spoon chefs didn't had the chance to showcase their talent, 2nd as the previous person said the restaurant team challenge had a huge disadvantage for the 4th team which was not fair for them , finally the last match wasn't that wow it's the final after all but they've had one match , compared to the semi final which was more intense and a big remarque that I found in some levels they had to eliminate huge number of contestants just to have less episodes I guess which found it brutal specially the semi final I think they've at least made 4 and after 2and the finals
And for me mastercheg Australia is still on top of all cooking programs and I which they can get inspired from it and rather having a match between veterans and new chefs I prefer they focus on the new chefs ( black spoons only )
i still think Chef Edward deserves to win. not sending hate to napoli (i like him too). But the tofu match and the creativity of chef edward is something that cannot be ignored and beaten.
@@user-ce4lz4jj1d older bro. So in their culture, chef choi must treat chef Edward with respect as he is older but it's kind of exaggerated or said as a joke coz they were only 4 days apart.
All these chefs are respectable. It isnt easy to cook outside of your own kitchen, and without knowing the theme. They showcased professionalism to the max.
Jung Ji Sun rigorously trained in China and thats no joke. All you do is toss sand on a wok for 6 months. Thats why Chinese chefs who have undergone classical training have this bravado.
I think we don’t recognize enough how amazing of a person Napoli Matfia is. We should acquire the same level of confidence, he knows he is good and he stand well by it.
I have been watching lots of videos with him in it nowadays , he’s actually really nerd and was a shy kid back then , he couldnt even press the stop button in the bus 😂
the backlash he's getting is undeserved tbh from the netizens , u can only win whats infront of u, and he did, end of story, besides they all are buddies behind the scenes
It’s really not his fault that Netflix can’t even plan a good cooking survival show. Anybody in his position would get the same amount of hate. How can Netflix PD have a semifinals that is more exciting than the finals?!? They had to cook 6 tofu dishes in 3 hours?!? That’s such good TV vs 1 measly dish for the finals?!? Come one Netflix. Do some research on how a final challenge should look like. Netflix has a tendency to tank their final 1 v 1 challenge. Physical 100 S1 final was also lack luster. All they did was pull that rope. How lame.
I am just so glad the show didn't try to keep the competitors from forming meaningful connections and friendships during the show! The drama of the environment was more than enough and we just wanted to see everyone doing their best! I'm so impressed and I don't know how I can go back to other shows like Iron Chef after this. Thank you everyone for your incredible efforts, including the people who composed and designed the show. Winner takes all competitions will always feel cruel but this show felt designed to focus us as the audience on the soul of the chefs and the cuisine. Very refreshing.
Rooted for Triple Star after seeing how composed, calm, humble and skilled he is. His shy demeanor yet being effective leader set him apart from the black spoon chefs. ❤ Edward Lee’s creativity and humility (no trash talk and over confidence) set him spart from the White Spoon chefs. ❤ They are my top 2. Well done Netflix!
Natpoli Mafia is right, he's taking the safest route by cooking something that he is confident with... Unlike Chef Edward, that's still taking that risk to show how much he loves Korean culture... Respect on how Natpoli Mafia admitted that if he were to go up against Chef Edward again, maybe he may not be that lucky... Wished Chef Edward won that competition, but he went for his passion than truly winning the competition...
@orxihui but it's clearly Natpoli dish will be easily perfected. Compared to Chef Edward's Tteok-bokki gastronomy attempt. We are talking about the risk taken by each of them. Chef Edward kept mentioning that he's going to show Korean side of him which is not necessary, he could have create something much closer to him such as Louisville / US signature dish instead
@@vahnseymour150 Honestly you have to realize Chef Edward Lee's main priority wasn't to win, but to bring out his korean heritage. So the teokbokki dessert he made, while hits all of that, if we objectively look at it on the flawless italian "appetiser + entree" combo. The italian dish would've won. No doubt if Chef Edward wanted to "win" him chosing a winning dish would be absolutely no problem at all, but that is not his intention and I think we need to respect that. Yes, the teokbokki dish is creative and has good storytelling, but if you say that immediately deserves to win over a flawless dish that matfia took 10+ years to master, then you are not being fair to cooking as an art.
It’s hard for a dessert to fight against a full-body main course that has so much more flavours. It was a slight miscalculation on Chef Edward’s part 😢 just like Chef Choi’s oversight with the garlic and tofu challenge. Maybe Chef Edward got the inspiration from his dessert tofu creme brule that won the tofu semifinal round. But the setting was different. It’s now 1 dish vs 1 dish for the final and not the last dish unlike the semi finals.
Chef Edward lee and triple star was my fave contestants. They were so creative and confident with their cooking skills, if they make a S2 it would be so hard to beat this season and I hope chef Edward lee becomes a judge he deserves it
Chef Edward Lee was the true winner for me 🤍 A real chef is not afraid to create and cook dishes that are out of his expertise, also he is very humble and a true hero! (Lee Initiative)
i was rooting for napoli at first until the tofu challenge. chef edward was just so amazing. but fr tho. if chef edward made his signature dishes, he would've won easily but it wouldn't make an impact on the road to rediscovering his identity
All the chefs match perfectly for a kdrama like Omakase auntie could be pretty mom, Chef Hyun-seok could be chill but competitive father, Cooking Maniac could be crazy bestie as his name suggests, Chef Jisun could be badass aunt, Chef Ho-joon could be cute uncle, Edward Lee could be cool and rich grandpa, Matfia could be villain and Finally Triple star could be the all rounder main lead!!!!🫣🫣
I love seeing them in a more relaxed environment. You can see their true personalities without the editing trying to create a story or control our emotions lol.
They (Chefs, Judgjes, Teams of CCW) set the high standards for the CCW, I believe the viewers have higher expectations too for the next season. Can't wait for the next season 🤩😍
triple star has both the looks and the skills,he earned those skills from intense hardwork and devotion...I became a huge fan literally .want to try any of his dish in future someday.
슬프네요 요즘 트리플스타의 사적인 내용의 뉴스가 나왔는데 좀 충격적입니다. 전 처가 전적으로 집과 레스토랑에 투자를 했음에도 불구하고 레스토랑에 공적기금을 본인에 부모에게 이체하고 생활자금을 전 처가 모두 부담 했다고 합니다. 이 상황에 전처가 대출을 받아야 했고 부부의 신뢰가 깨져서 이혼을 했어야 했답니다 (부인의 직접 sns에 올린 이야기) 더 충격적인 것은 성적으로 가학적인 행동을 요구했다는 것입니다. 결혼생활에서 다른 남자와의 잠자리를 요구했다네요 이것은 서양과 다르게 뉴스에서 조차 아시아에서는 굉장히 드물고 충격적인 일입니다. 한국에서 유명인이 결혼생활중 다른 남자와 잠자리를 요구했다는 사실은 뉴스에서 조차 처음 접해 놀랍네요 서양에서는 이런일들이 사적인 부분으로 취급된다는 얘기를 들은 적이 있는데 한국에서는 트리플스타의 커리어는 끝났다고 볼 수 있습니다.
@@abouttime2569 he clarified it was evil editing during his appearance on Baek Jong won's channel. To be fair, he really is known for public-friendly palate and recipe, so I would be worried too if I'd been in Triple Star's shoes. Not that it's a bad thing, I prefer comofort food over fine dining but if your spot is on the line, there's a reason to be worried. Judge Baek didn't take offense though
@@kerrim4799 He did say it was ''evil editing'' but the edited part wouln't have made the situation a lot better anyway. He still said what he said about Baek. The edited out part would have just put him in a slightly better light but still kinda bad anyway. Baek received the same suspicion of not knowing much about fine dining like 8 years ago because he was more known for his comfort dishes. Yet Baek proved himself to the public time and time again throughout the years that he knows his fine dining dishes. That is why Koreans were calling out Triple Star that he was disrespecting Baek when Baek proved for many years that he knew a lot about fine dining. Why describe someone in a bad light when you barely even know him? If you don't know much about someone, be careful what you say about that person.
Chef Edward Lee is so well-spoken. He almost made me teary-eyed in just a few sentences 🥲 I'm so curious how this experience will impact his next cooking ventures! I hope to try his food one day!
The cooking demonstration from all these chefs was amazing, I thought the way they pieced the challenges together was exciting as well. I can't wait to see another season.
Aunt Omakase got a glow up and Chef Ji Sun also looks adorable and I teared up listening to her life story 💙 I have tried making a couple of recipes, going to try some more this festive season and for my mothers and my birthday and for new years. It's Culinary Class Wars season 😅
I looove Culinary Class Wars! And I'm hoping for a show where Chef Edward Lee can reconnect with his Korean roots through food -- perhaps a K-food journey through local markets? Please, Netflix?? 🙏🏻
Such a genius concept! I got too immersed in this series that all I did in my school break (6days) was watch all the episodes then watch more clips on UA-cam. I guess I'll be an all-nighter cause I forgot I'm teacher and we're going back to school tomorrow😂
18:17 the way Napoli Matfia didnt even look down that whole scene and stood confident until his name was announced the winner is just PEAK. The absolute confidence that comes with actual skills >>>
If season 2 comes back with a restaurant mission, I hope this time it's open to a much larger crowd who comes and goes as they please, and has to pay out of their own pocket. Like Chef Choi mentioned, the strategy he took this time is not something that can be done realistically. The anime Food Wars played similar challenges (hotel breakfast buffet exam, food festival) with much better thought-out mechanics.
I was constantly looking something similar to food wars anime for so long and this show does not disappoint me Plus it's real life stories I need moreeeee
Chef Jung Ji Sun said that this show inspired many people to be chef. That is the most incredible thing that happening not only in Korea but also other countries. As in my country also facing this issue where younger generation dreaming to be socmed influencers, tv personalities, idols, singers, actors but this field of profession always fall behind just bcs not famous as others profession.
I would have loved to see a special episode where the final 8 had to do the convenience store challenge. Edward Lee's skill in tofu hell is an inspiration for every true cook out there to risk breaking new ways while balancing the flavours. For me both of the finalists have won in their own respective way.
Triple star was honestly so talented i was so impressed how he did manage to create new dishes specially in the semi finals, and I can't lie the semi final was like the face off of genius chefs between Edward lee / triple star and chef jung ji sun i forgot his name 😅 i was like wooow
Cooking Maniac seems like such a great and funny guy, I hope we get to see more of him in the future! I’m kinda curious why (pretty boy) Triple Star was grouped with the two ladies while the five guys were all together 😆
I'd like some of the Alumni to be guest judges as well for Season 2, especially Chef Eddie, Kwon Seong Joon (Napoli Matfia) and Scott (Triple Star). Geez Ed's Tofu shenanigans made me laugh and just be awed.
Okay, I finally like Napoli Matfia now. He seemed so full of himself on the show, but it was nice to see him show respect and appreciation for Chef Edward Kyun Lee here.
Triple star and chef edwards humility !!! Esp chef edward yall people have no idea how big he os ,and no question to his talent and love for cooking .. ❤❤❤❤❤
overall, this is the real show. it was entertaining, thrilling, and surely impacts all of the viewers. woaaah congrats to the all team and crew! I'd like to watch the next series hahaha pleaseee make the next show with all of the chefs! esp the top 20
I'm deeply saddened but the fact that everyone is rooting and praising edward lee or triple star, and hardly nobody is recognizing the talent and skill of napoli matfia. You guys don't realize that the dishes he worked were so perfect that he advances to next round scoring so high so easily beating like 7 people dishes easily. Chef ahn gave him 90 or 9 point to his dishes that he didn't gave scores like that to anyone else even the white spoon chef. He said that his dishes were excellent and at level of the dishes he makes himself. So, you can imagine the food he prepare must taste so so good. Even you might choose him as the true winner that he is, if you tasted his food.
I believe Chef Edward Lee is the true winner. It seems both unfair and unusual that a foreigner, regardless of their Korean heritage, who does not live in Korea, cannot win-in other words, would not win. They can’t even be fair when everyone is Korean, because other factors come into play. Jam Republic in *Street Woman Fighter 2* wasn’t going to win no matter what. I’m disappointed.
@@naomifelix4406 Why are you talking like your assumptions are the truth? Your assumptions are not even logical. Please think before you talk in the future.
to be honest, I'm not sure how Chef Matfia would have done if he were in the Tofu hell challenge. Don't get me wrong I think he is super talented, but I feel his Italian style might not have done as well if he needed to do that challenge.
i love watching cooking competition reality shows. ive watched them for like decades. and this is clearly the best one ive seen. im excited about season 2. but i dont think it can compare to season 1. how can you get a cast like that again. they already took the best ones lol.
napoli matfia is great, but the the REAL final is indeed Tofu battle. you can't resist how intense the battle between edward lee and triple star did. and despite his personal life scandal, he (triple star) is a GREAT and talented chef.
great show :). if there is a next season, the grand finale should be a three-round challenge. appetizer, entree, dessert. i think that would really push the chefs to their maximum potential and would get rid of any argument that the tofu challenge was harder (even though it probably was).

Yessss this is so true!!!! I wanna see how Napoli can pull out Tofu dishes 😂😂😂
He is the most creative in the show
Agreed! Loved that he kept trying to go back to his Korean roots. His dishes were so creative and thoughtful imo
S2 has been confirmed already.

슬프네요 요즘 트리플스타의 사적인 내용의 뉴스가 나왔는데 좀 충격적입니다.
전 처가 전적으로 집과 레스토랑에 투자를 했음에도 불구하고 레스토랑에 공적기금을 본인에 부모에게 이체하고 생활자금을 전 처가 모두 부담 했다고 합니다.
이 상황에 전처가 대출을 받아야 했고 부부의 신뢰가 깨져서 이혼을 했어야 했답니다 (부인의 직접 sns에 올린 이야기)
더 충격적인 것은 성적으로 가학적인 행동을 요구했다는 것입니다.
결혼생활에서 다른 남자와의 잠자리를 요구했다네요 이것은 서양과 다르게 뉴스에서 조차 아시아에서는 굉장히 드물고 충격적인 일입니다.
한국에서 유명인이 결혼생활중 다른 남자와 잠자리를 요구했다는 사실은 뉴스에서 조차 처음 접해 놀랍네요
서양에서는 이런일들이 사적인 부분으로 취급된다는 얘기를 들은 적이 있는데 한국에서는 트리플스타의 커리어는 끝났다고 볼 수 있습니다.
Chef Choi Hyunseok! ❤ So funny and clever at the same time. Very real 😂
The best korean survival show I've watched.. the challenges were all so fun not a single boring episode, I hope season 2 will be as good
Chef choi is so funny 😂
Aunt imokase outfits always serves! First the hanboks and now this
I NEED MORE OF TRIPLE STAR GIVE THIS GUY ANOTHER SHOW TO STAR ON. I'D HAPPILY WATCH HIM MAKE FINE DINING DISHES
Guy is racking up followers with 11 posts on IG. Funny how the Korean viewers hated him in the elimination, but is now loved.
@@kerrim4799his id??
@@kerrim4799 Yea he kinda made a hasty comment about judge Baek. That is why Triple Star got some hate in the first round.
@@abouttime2569 he clarified it was evil editing during his appearance on Baek Jong won's channel. To be fair, he really is known for public-friendly palate and recipe, so I would be worried too if I'd been in Triple Star's shoes. Not that it's a bad thing, I prefer comofort food over fine dining but if your spot is on the line, there's a reason to be worried. Judge Baek didn't take offense though
@@kerrim4799 He did say it was ''evil editing'' but the edited part wouln't have made the situation a lot better anyway. He still said what he said about Baek. The edited out part would have just put him in a slightly better light but still kinda bad anyway.
Baek received the same suspicion of not knowing much about fine dining like 8 years ago because he was more known for his comfort dishes. Yet Baek proved himself to the public time and time again throughout the years that he knows his fine dining dishes. That is why Koreans were calling out Triple Star that he was disrespecting Baek when Baek proved for many years that he knew a lot about fine dining. Why describe someone in a bad light when you barely even know him? If you don't know much about someone, be careful what you say about that person.
I get excited when i see chef edward lee...
Chef Edward Lee is so well-spoken. He almost made me teary-eyed in just a few sentences 🥲 I'm so curious how this experience will impact his next cooking ventures! I hope to try his food one day!
Omg yesss please have Edward Lee make a convenience store meal~~ that challenge was so fun and I want to see what he would make~
The cooking demonstration from all these chefs was amazing, I thought the way they pieced the challenges together was exciting as well. I can't wait to see another season.
I binged this show this past weekend and I loved it! but it made me so hungry lol
triple star and edward lee were my faves
Imookase needs to drop the skin care routine. Also been waiting for this to be translated!
I checked several times for the translation to be dropped
@@rahmawatidewi8047yes! I’ve been seeing this in my algo for a couple of weeks but no subs. But here it is!
@@rahmawatidewi8047it’s translated just activated the cc button
Aunt Omakase got a glow up and Chef Ji Sun also looks adorable and I teared up listening to her life story 💙 I have tried making a couple of recipes, going to try some more this festive season and for my mothers and my birthday and for new years. It's Culinary Class Wars season 😅
Wish they would make a 2nd season for this, really appreciate a whole show ❤ the intense was good and the drama aren't too much
They did announce they'll make a 2nd season although it's still probably gonna be a long while
Triple Star & Chef Edward Lee are both my favorite chefs in this season.
It is good seeing chef choi acknowledging triple star.
I looove Culinary Class Wars! And I'm hoping for a show where Chef Edward Lee can reconnect with his Korean roots through food -- perhaps a K-food journey through local markets? Please, Netflix?? 🙏🏻
The life of Lee Kun has just begun...look forward to more appearance of Chef Edward Lee on the Korean shows.
this was hell of a show!
Triple star and napoli matfia is on same level of calm during competition
Really love them❤
Triple Star 🌟 🤩 a kdrama actor doing press for his show energy
Such a genius concept! I got too immersed in this series that all I did in my school break (6days) was watch all the episodes then watch more clips on UA-cam. I guess I'll be an all-nighter cause I forgot I'm teacher and we're going back to school tomorrow😂
I adore the charismatic Chef Edward Lee, his voice is awesome too
18:17 the way Napoli Matfia didnt even look down that whole scene and stood confident until his name was announced the winner is just PEAK. The absolute confidence that comes with actual skills >>>
Edward Lee cozinhou todo o tipo de comida, oriental, ocidental, sobremessa, incrivel a criatividade dele
Triple star is the main reason why i watch this show 😂
Didn’t realize that Jung Ji Sun can be this great in looks. So stunning!!
Chef edward lee is the real winner for me
Seems like a lot of people feel that way, including me. Napoli did great too but Chef Edward was the winner for me
Styling team did a hell of a good job there, everyone's looking fine and classy for this video!
If season 2 comes back with a restaurant mission, I hope this time it's open to a much larger crowd who comes and goes as they please, and has to pay out of their own pocket. Like Chef Choi mentioned, the strategy he took this time is not something that can be done realistically. The anime Food Wars played similar challenges (hotel breakfast buffet exam, food festival) with much better thought-out mechanics.
This is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time! Everything was of the highest quakity and so well thought out!
the tofu mission should been for the finale or deciding who would be in the finale
really thankful to netflix for doing this cooking show. they changed the lives of most chefs in this competition. and i got to know triple star 💙
I was constantly looking something similar to food wars anime for so long and this show does not disappoint me
Plus it's real life stories
I need moreeeee
Chef Jung Ji Sun said that this show inspired many people to be chef. That is the most incredible thing that happening not only in Korea but also other countries.
As in my country also facing this issue where younger generation dreaming to be socmed influencers, tv personalities, idols, singers, actors but this field of profession always fall behind just bcs not famous as others profession.
I would have loved to see a special episode where the final 8 had to do the convenience store challenge. Edward Lee's skill in tofu hell is an inspiration for every true cook out there to risk breaking new ways while balancing the flavours. For me both of the finalists have won in their own respective way.
For me tofu challenge is the real finals. I still think Chef Edward is the real winner 😊
Found my new crush TRIPLE STAR!!!! He's just GORGEOUS in every way possible!
scottiey is very humble😭 it should be him & chef edward who go to the final
I need netflix to compile all triple star screen time 😂
He's all over TikTok with female viewers simping 😅 don't blame them.though
@@kerrim4799 i knoww even though i dont have tiktok but i know his impact on the female community 😂
Triple star was honestly so talented i was so impressed how he did manage to create new dishes specially in the semi finals, and I can't lie the semi final was like the face off of genius chefs between Edward lee / triple star and chef jung ji sun i forgot his name 😅 i was like wooow
Cooking Maniac seems like such a great and funny guy, I hope we get to see more of him in the future!
I’m kinda curious why (pretty boy) Triple Star was grouped with the two ladies while the five guys were all together 😆
One thing for sure!
They are all so talented and they deserve all the love and respect. 🎉❤
I am so happy to see their restaurants get full booked
I love that they all dressed up in black and white!
Chef choi hyun seok is so damn well for his age😂🤭👍
Edward Lee ❤
auntie omakase #1 is SLAYING omg
Make chef Lee a judge in season 2
I love how they wore black and white differently as opposed with the show's theme haha
Chef Edward Lee is the best! No doubt!
Chef edward is so cool and cute
Best show of 2024! Please bring back both judges for the next season!
CHEF CHOI WON MY HEART😂❤
I'd like some of the Alumni to be guest judges as well for Season 2, especially Chef Eddie, Kwon Seong Joon (Napoli Matfia) and Scott (Triple Star). Geez Ed's Tofu shenanigans made me laugh and just be awed.
Edward lee was MVP for me
Chef Edward Lee & Triple Star 🤩🙌
Okay, I finally like Napoli Matfia now. He seemed so full of himself on the show, but it was nice to see him show respect and appreciation for Chef Edward Kyun Lee here.
Napoli Maftia and Cooking Maniac are my fave since the show started and luckily Maftia grind it
yeah, the editing really did chef choi dirty lmao
Triple star and chef edwards humility !!! Esp chef edward yall people have no idea how big he os ,and no question to his talent and love for cooking .. ❤❤❤❤❤
overall, this is the real show. it was entertaining, thrilling, and surely impacts all of the viewers. woaaah congrats to the all team and crew! I'd like to watch the next series hahaha pleaseee make the next show with all of the chefs! esp the top 20
I'm deeply saddened but the fact that everyone is rooting and praising edward lee or triple star, and hardly nobody is recognizing the talent and skill of napoli matfia. You guys don't realize that the dishes he worked were so perfect that he advances to next round scoring so high so easily beating like 7 people dishes easily. Chef ahn gave him 90 or 9 point to his dishes that he didn't gave scores like that to anyone else even the white spoon chef. He said that his dishes were excellent and at level of the dishes he makes himself. So, you can imagine the food he prepare must taste so so good. Even you might choose him as the true winner that he is, if you tasted his food.
I believe Chef Edward Lee is the true winner. It seems both unfair and unusual that a foreigner, regardless of their Korean heritage, who does not live in Korea, cannot win-in other words, would not win. They can’t even be fair when everyone is Korean, because other factors come into play. Jam Republic in *Street Woman Fighter 2* wasn’t going to win no matter what. I’m disappointed.
@@naomifelix4406 napoli matfia won fair and square. period.
@@naomifelix4406 Why are you talking like your assumptions are the truth? Your assumptions are not even logical. Please think before you talk in the future.
to be honest, I'm not sure how Chef Matfia would have done if he were in the Tofu hell challenge. Don't get me wrong I think he is super talented, but I feel his Italian style might not have done as well if he needed to do that challenge.
@@CinaSung Doesn't really matter because he won the first round. Why are people judging based on stuff a contestant didn't need to go through?
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR THE ENGLISH SUBSSS!!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITINGGGG 🤧💞✨
i love watching cooking competition reality shows. ive watched them for like decades. and this is clearly the best one ive seen. im excited about season 2. but i dont think it can compare to season 1. how can you get a cast like that again. they already took the best ones lol.
napoli matfia is great, but the the REAL final is indeed Tofu battle. you can't resist how intense the battle between edward lee and triple star did. and despite his personal life scandal, he (triple star) is a GREAT and talented chef.
Chef edward as judge for season 2 pls!!!! Hes too humble . Omg .. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
tofu misson is fucking crazy!! Big respect to all chef🙌🏻
That episode makes me hate tofu😂
finally with english sub! s1 is super good. i love that they still meet after the show and became friends irl :)
great show :). if there is a next season, the grand finale should be a three-round challenge. appetizer, entree, dessert. i think that would really push the chefs to their maximum potential and would get rid of any argument that the tofu challenge was harder (even though it probably was).
The only cooking show I would watch again and again. Very refreshing concept and great cast as well!
