If you’re not on Netflix and have no idea what the hype around Culinary Class Wars is about, let me break it down for you. This Korean series pits 100 chefs from all walks of life against one another, with only one emerging as the winner. Its successful first season has since been dubbed the most popular Korean cooking show of all time.
Hot on the heels of Culinary Class Wars Season 2 is a collaboration between popular Korean restaurant Bulgogi Syo and Chef Jung Ho-young, AKA the Top 4 finalist. Mark your calendar: this exciting collab will take place from 9 March 2026!
Chef Jung stole the hearts of many international viewers with his adorable personality, which quickly switches to a serious mode once he starts cooking. Before appearing on the culinary show, he had already gained recognition through popular Korean variety programmes such as Please Take Care of My Refrigerator. Currently, he runs a Japanese restaurant named Udon Caden in Jeju, which specialises in freshly made udon.
His partnership with Bulgogi Syo is extra special as it marks his first collab in Singapore. With 26 years of culinary experience under his belt, there’s so much to look forward to, including the five-dish collaboration menu that will be available at all Bulgogi Syo outlets.
Fans can expect two of the five dishes featured in Culinary Class Wars Season 2: the lauded Monk Fish Liver Chawanmushi ($10.90++), and the iconic Grilled Sea Eel Renkon Manju with Crab Sauce ($39.90++).
It’s then followed by Chef Jung’s Signature Beef Curry Udon with Grilled Yakibuta ($19.90++). We recommend this as a main dish, while the Citrus-Soy Grilled Cod Fish ($25.90++) and Creamy Prawn Croquette with Sesame Sauce ($12.90++ for two) are great for sharing with your dining companion(s).
If you’re a fan of Chef Jung and would like to try his food, keep your eyes peeled for the reservation link on Bulgogi Syo’s website, which opens on 20 February. The exclusive event begins on 9 March for a limited time, so snag a slot while you still can.
