Netflix's hit show 'Black and White Chef: Culinary Class War' is set to return with a thrilling Season 3, promising another dose of K-dopamine.
The show, which features intense culinary battles between underdog 'Black Spoon' chefs and top-tier 'White Spoon' celebrity chefs, has confirmed the production of its third season. This time, the competition will be fiercer than ever, with a focus on the ultimate taste showdown.
On October 16, Netflix announced the start of participant recruitment for Season 3 via its official social media channels, marking the beginning of the new season's production. Unlike the previous seasons, which focused on individual chefs, Season 3 will spotlight restaurant teams. Each team will consist of four chefs representing their restaurant, regardless of the culinary genre. The competition is open only to chefs currently working together at the same establishment, and individual applications or teams formed by acquaintances are not allowed. However, teams from different branches of the same restaurant can apply together.
'Black and White Chef: Culinary Class War' has topped the global non-English show rankings for two consecutive years, leading the culinary entertainment trend. Season 2 introduced new and thrilling themes and rules, maintaining the excitement of Season 1 while captivating viewers worldwide with its innovative survival format. Highlights included the intense first-round Black Spoon decision match, the all-or-nothing third-round Black and White team battle, the Last Box revival round focusing on the essence of ingredients, and the dramatic 1:1 showdown that determined the Top 7. The final two contestants emerged from the Infinite Cooking Heaven and Hell challenges, culminating in a memorable finale. The chefs' genuine passion for cooking and their dramatic challenges and responses delivered a dose of K-dopamine to global audiences. In Season 1, Black Spoon chef Kwon Sung-jun, known as the 'Napoli Mafia,' challenged the White Spoons and claimed victory, while Season 2 saw Hidden White Spoon Choi Kang-rok become the ultimate survivor, leaving a lasting impression.
For Season 3, the successful team of Studio Slam, led by producer Kim Eun-ji and writer Mo Eun-seol, will reunite. Kim Eun-ji expressed gratitude to the global audience for their support, stating, "Thanks to the love from viewers worldwide, we are able to produce Season 3. We will do our best to meet the expectations with a newly developed and entertaining show."
Seasons 1 and 2 of 'Black and White Chef: Culinary Class War' are currently available on Netflix.
