Swedish chef competes in South Korean Netflix hit

The show's first season premiered on Netflix in September last year and quickly became one of the streaming giant's most-watched shows globally.

Season two premieres on December 16, where Jennie Walldén, restaurateur and former winner of “Sweden’s Master Chef,” participates as one of a hundred chefs. They compete both individually and in team challenges until a lone winner remains.

Being part of something as incredibly Korean as "Culinary class wars" felt very, very nice, says Walldén, who was adopted from South Korea as a six-year-old, to Sydsvenskan.

In October, it was announced that TV4 had purchased "100 knives", another giant-format cooking concept.
