Get ready for a feast! Netflix's highly anticipated culinary competition, 'Chef's Battle: Season 2' (Korean title: '흑백요리사: 요리 계급 전쟁2'), makes its grand return today, November 16th, at 5 PM KST.

Season 1 took the world by storm, igniting a fervent passion for gastronomy with its unique concepts like 'evenness' and 'proper cooking.' The show catapulted its participating chefs to stardom and even led to intense reservation battles at their restaurants. Ahead of Season 2's premiere, the list of restaurants featured in the trailer is already creating a buzz online.

'Chef's Battle: Season 2' pits ambitious 'black spoon' chefs, aiming to overturn the culinary hierarchy with their skills, against the established 'white spoon' chefs, who are among Korea's top culinary stars. The lineup boasts culinary pioneers like Chef Lee Joon, alongside Michelin-starred chefs in Korean and Western cuisine, a master of temple food, a venerable Chinese cuisine expert, a French master, and celebrated chefs such as Jeong Ho-young, Sam Kim, and Raymon Kim. They will face off against 'black spoon' contenders ranging from beloved neighborhood eateries to trendy, in-demand establishments. Adding to the excitement, two hidden 'white spoon' chefs are set to appear, alongside new rules designed to heighten the drama.

Returning to guide the competition are the dynamic duo from Season 1, Baek Jong-won and Chef Ahn Sung-jae, who garnered widespread acclaim for their chemistry, expertise, and broad appeal. The intense battle between the 'black spoon' challengers and the 'white spoon' defenders, judged solely on 'taste,' kicks off with episodes 1-3 airing today at 5 PM KST, exclusively on Netflix worldwide.

Netizens are expressing their excitement, with comments like "I loved Season 1, I'm so thrilled it's finally here!", "This season has all the legendary chefs, I have to watch live!", and "Can't wait to watch Chef's Battle 2, it's the best!"
