Culinary Class Wars

(

)

Senior judge Paik Jong-won is a celebrity chef in Korea.

... that the judges of the Culinary Class Wars (pictured) were blindfolded and spoon-fed?

Source: The blind taste test in which two grown men in three-piece suits are blindfolded and spoon-fed is hilarious. It must be nerve-racking for the judges too, surrending to whatever goes into their mouths.

ALT1 ... that the judges of the Culinary Class Wars suffered from over-eating but judge Paik Jong-won (pictured) still ate his packed lunch too?

Source: They suffered from being so full all the time on the show because of tasting everything, but what was truly amazing to witness was Mr. Paik eating dosirak (packed meal) off-camera, after judging!

ALT2 ... that the dishes in the Culinary Class Wars were discarded after judging to prevent others from tasting them and disagreeing with the judges? (pictured)

Source: Neither the contestants nor the production crew were allowed even a morsel of the leftovers for fear that they might have differing opinions about the dishes that had been evaluated by the judges, which could potentially cause conflict on the set.

At the time of nomination the article was exactly 7 days old (which fits I guess), and the length seems to fit standard. There are some good English sources and a lot of Korean coverage, so I don't doubt that this is notable. Earwig says no copyvios, but the article is a bit messy. (Why does the "endless cooking hell" section have nothing in it, for one?) Most importantly, the hook is also little bit vague, and I don't think it would capture much attention.

The show was released in three installments and the first season has finished now. The article has been fleshed out to complete details of all the rounds. I'm doing some further clean-up and completion. More anon. Andrew🐉(talk) 13:47, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
@Wuju Daisuki: The article has been expanded and I've added an ALT hook for your consideration, please. It works well with the picture, I reckon. Andrew🐉(talk) 09:20, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

@Wuju Daisuki: Have your concerns been resolved? If not, what else needs to be done? Z1720 (talk) 23:14, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

* @Z1720: The article looks in better shape now, but the alt you provided is not well written, nor would it be very interesting if it was. Good day, Wuju Daisuki ^{(Talk? 뭐 그까이꺼 대충!)} 02:22, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

@Z1720: Thanks to Z1720 for taking an interest. I'm not understanding Wuju Daisuki's objections to the ALT1 hook, which seems fine to me. Maybe we just have different tastes. To help avoid an impasse and establish a consensus, please could Z1720 say what they think of the hooks? Andrew🐉(talk) 10:38, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

@Andrew Davidson: My opinion is that I am confused by ALT1 because I do not know who Paik Jong-won is. After looking at the image caption and clicking on Jong-won's link I was able to piece together that he is a judge, but it takes too long for me to understand the hook. I like ALT0 more because it is succinct and understandable. If the image is going to be used, it needs to be included in the article. Z1720 (talk) 11:36, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I'm still content with ALT0 too but will mull over ALT1 to see if it can be made clearer. More anon. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:33, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

@Wuju Daisuki and Z1720: I have amended the wording of ALT1 and added an ALT2 hook for your consideration, please. Andrew🐉(talk) 21:17, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Straight away you'll need a better source for ALT2 per WP:FORBESCON. I'll assess the rest of this when I'm less sleepy.--Laun chba ller 22:03, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Okay, so ALT2 is currently unusable per above, but ALT1 is unencyclopedic and has been cut from the article and ALT0 would require an end-of-sentence citation. Also, as written this would deserve {{overly detailed}} and much of this needs to go.--Laun chba ller 12:01, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

@Andrew Davidson, Windershaker, and Wuju Daisuki: Apologies, thought I'd pinged.--Laun chba ller 14:15, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
