Dang, Chef Edward made me teary eyed. Even if he didn’t win, he fought a good fight and earned my respect as a chef. Emerging as the top White Spoon chef is already an amazing achievement. To me, his demeanor is very down to earth and sincere when he cooks. His KFC creation using the tofu was 🤯

It makes sense to me that they’d choose a Black Spoon as a winner through Chef Napoli Matfia. It will give inspiration to aspiring chefs to go for their dreams rather than letting another White Spoon (a Korean-American at that sadly). Still, I love Chef Edward and I became a fan! If Tofu Hell was the final challenge, I think Chef Edward will win against Napoli Matfia.

This was a great show but I hope they tweak the number of judges to an odd number to break ties. I love another judge addition, Chef Paik and Ahn had a tough job judging. Won’t mind if Chef Edward returns as an additional judge next season. Please bring him back in!

Bring it on Season 2, an easy 4/5 stars for S1. My wishes:

1. Odd number of judges, make it 3 to break ties.
2. Tweak the restaurant challenge as it was unfair to the fourth team that was formed. Less manpower and time.
3. Cooking Hell challenges best for Final 2.
