"The scores for this round are A, B, C, and D. Judges, please give your scores according to the specific conditions of the dishes just now. Judges, you may begin to give your scores."
As soon as Jack's voice fell, the audience also focused their attention on the judges. Although the results were not announced, it did not prevent them from watching the show.
The judges, on the other hand, were very calm. Every one of them took the white paper and marker pen that the etiquette lady had just given them, and directly wrote down their thoughts on the white paper. Not only the four people on Ogyust's side directly picked up their pens to write, even Ju Man, Li, and the others looked as if they had long been prepared. They finished writing quickly and neatly.
After they finished writing, they folded the paper and handed it to the waiting etiquette lady. Next, it was time to evaluate the second chef's dish.
There were 20 chefs on the stage, and each of them had three dishes, which was a total of 80 dishes. Therefore, every chef deliberately reduced the number of dishes they prepared, so that the judges would not eat too much.
For example, Yuan Zhou's pastry was the size of a baby's palm. Although it was filled with fillings, it could not change the fact that it was really small. As for the chicken, he chose a Bresse chicken that weighed more than half a kilogram. After removing the internal organs, it could be imagined how big it was.
Of course, the most important thing was that when the judges tasted the dishes, they would not eat all of them. After all, they still had to eat the dishes of other contestants. If they ate all of them, they would probably have to invite Wu Hai and Mao Xiong to be the judges. Otherwise, they would not be able to finish eating.
Therefore, it was very rare for the food prepared by Yuan Zhou to be eaten up completely.
"Okay, our chef Bordraco is also done. Now let's see what dish he is going to cook." Jack noticed the bell on Bordraco's side and directly walked over.
He was the second to finish. Before this, he had been immersed in his own dish creation and did not see the scene of the judges fighting for food.
In Bordraco's mind, he still thought that Yuan Zhou did it perfunctorily for the sake of winning first place. He looked down on this kind of behavior, which was not what a decent chef should do.
At this moment, after his perfect work was done, he was very confident and rang the bell.
When Jack walked to the stove, he saw the three dishes prepared by Bordraco.
Honestly speaking, Bordraco's strength was really not bad. As the leader of traditional classics, the dish he made this time was naturally a traditional dish. It was just that the main ingredient was changed to Bresse Chicken, which was considered an innovation.
Moreover, the exquisiteness of French cuisine was perfectly reflected by Bordaco. Whether it was the plate presentation or other aspects, everything showed the chef's meticulousness.
But sometimes, people were afraid of comparisons. Otherwise, whoever was ugly would be embarrassed.
With Yuan Zhou in front of him, Bordraco's exquisite perfection was flawed.
Anyway, that was how Jack felt. Of course, he was a professional host, so he did not show any emotion on his face. He said enthusiastically, "Head Chef Poddragon, please introduce his work today."
Podraco nodded reservedly. "I prepared Braith Chicken Ball Soup, French Baked Chicken Breast, and Thousand Layer Chicken Pie today."
The name was simple and the cooking method was adapted from the traditional French cuisine. For example, the meatball was made from chicken instead of the famous Lyon Dog Meat Ball.
That's right. There were meatballs in French cuisine as well. The meatballs made from chicken were about the size of walnuts. There was one meatball in each bowl. There were a few green leaves floating beside the meatballs. They didn't look like vegetables, but more like a kind of herb. They looked quite simple and elegant.
"It looks very good." Jack praised as usual and then signaled the etiquette ladies to serve the dishes.
The first dish was naturally the appetizer, Braith Chicken Ball Soup. Each person had a small bowl with a small plate outside. There were some flower decorations on the plate, which were carved by the assistant and looked very elegant.
"Head Chef Poddragon won't disappoint us." Ju Man Lee took a look at the soup and then slowly picked up the spoon, intending to eat.
This action was very soulful. Because when he was eating the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou, his action was very fast. Of course, those who didn't stare at Ju Man Lee naturally couldn't see it.
Some of the audience were holding the hamburgers and some were holding the French batons. They watched while eating. The judges had enjoyed Yuan Zhou's dishes too much.
One had to admit that the French were not only romantic but also good at doing business. There were bakeries and dessert shops near the competition venue. The food was no different from that of ordinary bakeries.
But the names were different. For example, the French batons were called "Bogus World Cooking Competition Designated Batons". With this name, they were 70% more expensive than ordinary batons.
"Who is more delicious, the Chinese chef or Head Chef Poddragon?"
"I support Mr. Poddragon from the bottom of my heart. He is the representative of French cuisine. But judging from the plate presentation, the Chinese chef has already won."
"Yeah. The Chinese plate presentation is like a beautiful painting. Maybe it's because the Chinese are good at plate presentation. Head Chef Poddragon might not lose to the Chinese chef in terms of taste."
The audience discussed animatedly.
The judges were actually very calm. Poddragon's dish was only half eaten.
Poddragon's culinary skills were quite good. The chicken was chewy and chewy. The taste of the chicken was full of flavor.
But compared with the soft texture of the chicken and tofu pudding just now, it was much worse.
Next was the main dish, the French baked chicken breast. Poddragon had modified this dish based on the French baked escargot. The heat control was also quite good. The judges also ate half of the dish.
The last dish was the Thousand Layer Chicken Pie. It had a layer of pastry and a layer of minced chicken. Using the essence of the Thousand Layer Chicken Pie as a reference, Poddragon had cooked it well.
After tasting and grading Poddragon's dish, it was Steele's turn. He had finished his dish when he was tasting Poddragon's main dish. Obviously, there was not much difference between his cooking skills and the time he took to finish his dish was also about the same.
While the judges were eating Poddragon's dessert, Julian's dish was also ready. It could be said that he had finished his dish right after Steele's.
"I hope Steele can learn something this time," Anthony said to himself.
As for Alessandra, her attention was already focused on the third dish, Steele.
Of course, the one who really learned something today was Cheng Zhao Mei. At this moment, he was writing at a very fast speed in a corner. No one knew where he got a stool from, but he was happily writing on it. It was obvious that he had learned a lot.
After the judges tasted and graded Julian's dish, the other head chefs rang the bell one after another.
The judges tasted and graded their dishes according to the order in which they finished their dishes. Although it seemed that the judges treated all the dishes equally, it was easy to tell what they liked from the amount of food they ate.
It took a lot of time for 20 chefs to grade their dishes from beginning to end. Although they finished their dishes at different times, it still took the judges nearly two hours to grade all the dishes.
"Okay, now the most exciting moment has come. Who are the top 10 chefs? We will soon know." Jack stood in the center of the stage with a delicate greeting card in his hand.
