@chefyiavang @ChefMichaelMina HI HOW LONG WHERE YOU ON BOBBY TRPILE THREAT

YOU ARE GREAT
Demetrius still pulled off a great dish. Only the kimchi let him down.
Squid ink š¤¢.
I prefer to compete with my last dish, every competition the true experience is lost due to the short time to accomplish the true taste and end result.
Both dishes looked amazing and no doubt despite errors and flaws, they tasted excellent.
