“This time, the scores are A, B, C, and D. Judges, please score according to the progress of the dish just now. You can start to score now.”
As soon as Jack finished speaking, the audience turned their attention to the judges ‘seats. Although the answers were not announced, it did not stop them from watching the fun.
On the other hand, the judges were very calm. Each of them took a piece of paper and a marker pen from the hostess and wrote what they had long thought of on the paper. Not only did the four from August’s side take up their pens, but ju man Li and the others also looked like they had long prepared and finished writing in no time.
After he was done, he folded them and handed them to the waiting staff. Next, it was time to evaluate the second chef’s dish.
There were 20 chefs on the field, so if each of them served three dishes, that would be 80 dishes. Therefore, each head chef would deliberately reduce the number of dishes they prepared so that the judges would not be full.
Yuan Zhou’s shortbread was the size of a baby’s palm. Although the filling was very good, it still couldn’t change the fact that it was really small. As for the chicken, he chose a brace chicken that weighed more than 500 grams. Without the internal organs and other things, one could imagine how big it could be.
Of course, the most important thing was that the judges wouldn’t eat all the dishes when they tasted the dishes. After all, they had to eat the dishes of the other contestants. If all the dishes were eaten up, they would probably have to invite Wu Hai and Mao Xiong to be the judges. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to finish the dishes.
Therefore, it was rare for the food prepared by Yuan Zhou to be eaten up cleanly.
“Alright, our head chef podraco is done as well. Now, let’s see what dish he’s made.” Jack noticed the ringing on podraco’s side and walked over.
He was the second one to finish cooking. He had been immersed in the creation of his own dish, so he didn’t see a scene like the judges fighting for food.
In podraco’s opinion, Yuan Zhou did it perfunctorily just for the sake of winning the first place. He looked down on such behavior, as it was not something a proper chef should do.
Now that he had finished his perfect work, he rang the bell with great confidence.
Jack walked to podraco’s stove and saw the three dishes podraco had prepared.
......
To be honest, podraco’s strength was really not bad. As the leader of traditional dishes, the dish he made this time was naturally also a traditional dish. It was just that he changed the main ingredient to brace chicken, which could be considered an innovation.
Furthermore, the exquisiteness of the French cuisine was perfectly reflected in podraco’s restaurant. Whether it was the plate presentation or other aspects, everything showed the head chef’s exquisiteness.
However, there were times when one was afraid of comparison. Otherwise, whoever was uglier would be embarrassed.
With Yuan Zhou’s help, podraco’s exquisiteness and perfection were flawed.
Anyway, that was how Jack felt. Of course, he was a professional host, so he didn’t show it on his face at all. He directly said with enthusiasm,”Head chef podraco, please introduce us to his work today.”
Podraco nodded reservedly and said, “I’ve prepared bris chicken meatball soup, French-baked chicken breast, and a chicken layered pie. ”
The name was simple, and the cooking method was used in traditional French cuisine. For example, meatball was made with chicken instead of the famous Pikes in Lyon.
That’s right, there were meatballs in French food. The meatballs made from chicken were about the size of walnuts, and there was one in each bowl. There were a few green leaves floating beside them. They didn’t look like green vegetables, but more like a kind of vanilla, which looked quite simple and elegant.
“It looks very good.” Jack gave a routine compliment and then motioned for the waitresses to serve the dishes.
The first to be served was naturally the appetizer, bris chicken meatball soup. Everyone had a small bowl with a small plate outside. There were some small flower decorations on the plate, which were carved by the assistant and looked very elegant.
“Head chef podraco will not disappoint.” Ju man Li took a look at the soup and slowly picked up the spoon, ready to eat.
This action was very soulful, because when he ate Yuan Zhou’s dishes before, his actions were extremely fast. Of course, those who didn’t stare at ju man Li naturally couldn’t see it.
Some of the audience members were holding burgers while others were holding sticks. They were watching while eating. The judges had enjoyed Yuan Zhou’s dishes very much.
It had to be said that the French were not only romantic, but also good at doing business. There was a bakery near the venue, and the food in the dessert shop was no different from that of an ordinary bakery.
However, the name was different. For example, the staff was called “designated staff of the bogus world cooking competition”, which was 70% more expensive than ordinary staffs.
“Then, who’s more delicious, the Chinese chef or head chef podraco?”
“I support Mr. Podraco from the bottom of my heart. He’s the representative of French cuisine, but in terms of plate presentation, that Chinese chef has already won.”
“That’s right. The Chinese yuan’s platefulness is like a beautiful painting. Perhaps the Chinese are good at platefulness. Head chef podraco might not lose to the taste.”
The audience was in a heated discussion.
The judging panel was actually very calm, and podraco had finished half of his food.
Podraco’s cooking skills were quite good. The chicken was processed quite well, and it was chewy to eat. The taste of the chicken was very good.
However, it was much worse than the soft and fluffy chicken beancurd just now.
Next up was the main course, French-baked chicken breast. This was improved by podraco based on the French escargot. The control of the heat was also quite good, and the judges gave him face and ate half of it.
The last dish was the chicken-layered pie, with a layer of crispy skin and a layer of minced chicken. Borrowing the essence of the French-style thousand-layered pie, the dish blended well with podraco’s cooking.
After tasting podraco’s dish and giving it a score, it was now Steele’s turn. He had done it while tasting podraco’s main dish, which showed that the difference in strength was not that big, and the time he took to complete the dish was about the same.
Just as the judges were eating podraco’s desserts, Julian’s dish was also ready. It could be said that she was right behind Steele, biting tightly onto it.
“I hope that this time, Steele will be able to learn something.” Anthony said quietly.
As for Alexander, he had already focused his attention on the third person who was done.
Of course, the one who really learned something today was student Cheng zhaomei. At this moment, he was writing at a high speed in the corner. He got a stool from somewhere and pounced on it to write happily. One look and one could tell that he had learned a lot.
After Julian’s work was tasted and graded by the judges, the other head chefs rang their bells one after another.
The judges tasted and graded the dishes according to the order of completion. Although it seemed that the judges treated everyone equally, one could tell what they liked from the number of dishes they ate.
It took a lot of time for the 20 chefs to grade all the dishes from the beginning to the end. Although the completion time was different, the judges still spent nearly two hours to grade all the dishes one by one.
“Alright, the most exciting moment has arrived. We’ll immediately find out who the top ten chefs are.” Jack stood in the middle of the stage with an exquisite greeting card-sized object in his hand.
