[2] The White Spoons were: Ahn You-seong, Bang Ki-su, Cho Eun-ju, Choi Hyun-seok, Choi Ji-hyung, Choi Kang-rok, Edward Lee, Fabrizio Ferrari, Hwang Jin-seon, Jang Ho-joon, Jung Ji-sun, Joseph Lidgerwood, Kim Do-yun, Kim Seung-min, Lee Young-suk, Lu Chinglai, Nam Jeong-seok, Oh Se-deuk, Park Joon-woo, and Seonkyoung Longest.

Contestants were given 70 minutes to cook their dish, then the two creations were then subject to a blind tasting by the judges who were blindfolded and hand-fed by spoon.

If there was a tie, the contestants were asked to leave so that the judges could deliberate on both dishes and make a final decision.

At the end of the round, both judges selected one contestant each among those who were eliminated to receive a "super pass" and return to the competition.

[2] Color key [1] Paik Jong-won chose Goddess of Chinese Cuisine to receive the super pass.

Each team had 200 minutes to prepare and serve their dish to a panel of 100 audience members, including the two judges.

Contestants had 40 minutes to prepare any dish of their devising using ingredients typically found in a convenience store.

Each team has 24 hours to create their own restaurant from the ground up, including its concept, menu items and pricing, and shopping and preparing the ingredients.

The judges used three criteria: ensuring that tofu was a significant ingredient; the creativity of the dish; and its overall execution and presentation.

Dishes were served to the judges in the order of completion and the worst submission each round was eliminated.

At the start of the round, Napoli Matfia's real name was revealed to be Kwon Seong-joon.

The two dishes were: Edward Lee: Tteokbokki semifreddo with a gochugang caramel served with a chamoe-makgeolli "old fashioned."

Inspiration: Edward joined the competition to get in touch with his Korean heritage and noticed how chefs were typically generous with their portions, especially with tteokbokki.

Inspiration: Kwon interpreted his "name" as referring to his life, and as of such wanted to create a dish that represented his entire being.

The wine was selected due to it both being a vintage from the year he was born, as well as his favourite grape varietal.

She reported that the show was popular and that the reasons for this included the high level of expertise and creativity displayed by the contestants and their respect for each other's skills.

For example, over 20,000 people tried to reserve a table at the Neo restaurant of Choi Gang-rok and its new month of online bookings sold out in one minute.
