Netflix ‘Black-and-White Chef: Culinary Class War 2’
Netflix’s unscripted series ‘Black-and-White Chef: Culinary Class War 2’ (hereafter ‘Black-and-White Chef 2’) has unveiled its White Spoon poster and main trailer.
The unveiled White Spoon poster, which shows ingredients contained in a mobile structure reminiscent of a Ferris wheel, raises expectations for the grand scale of the black-and-white culinary class war set to resume.
On top of that, the dazzling White-chef lineup heightens anticipation: from Michelin two-star Lee Jun to Son Jong-won, who clinched a Michelin one-star in both Korean and Western cuisine; Venerable Seonjae, Korea’s first master of temple cuisine; 57-year veteran master of Chinese cuisine Hu Deok-juk; 47-year veteran French master Park Hyo-nam; Korea’s representative star chefs Jung Ho-young, Sam Kim, and Raymond Kim; Song Hoon, a judge on ‘MasterChef Korea Season 4’; and Lim Sung-geun, winner of ‘Korean Food War Season 3’.
The simultaneously released main trailer foreshadows an unscripted culinary class war, featuring black chefs who have sharpened their knives in a main kitchen starkly divided into black and white.

From a barbecue lab director declaring “I’m confident I can compete globally” to a culinary beast stating “I’ve only worked at No. 1 restaurants around the world,” not to mention striking monikers like a Three-Star Killer and the Prince of Seochon, even chefs you’d hardly believe would appear as black chefssuch as a culinary scientist and a Chinese-cuisine bikerdeliver surprises.
The blind tasting, the hallmark of ‘Black-and-White Chef: Culinary Class War’, is expected to make the fierce battle of flavors even more dramatic. Above all, rules that differ from Season 1 ramp up anticipation. In a surprise teaser proclaiming “There are new rules this season,” curiosity mounts over what is implied by the appearance of two veiled figures alongside the words “It’s me, back for another try.”
‘Black-and-White Chef: Culinary Class War’ became the first Korean Netflix variety show to rank No. 1 for three consecutive weeks in Netflix’s Global TOP 10 TV (Non-English). As the first OTT variety show to top Gallup Korea’s “Koreans’ Favorite Program” in the September 2024 survey, it sparked a craze both in Korea and globally.
‘Black-and-White Chef 2’ will meet viewers around the world exclusively on Netflix on the 16th.
