Hi Tatiana,
Thanks for being here - you ROCK! I’ve always wondered if they really make everyone stop at the same time - or if someone needed an extra 20 seconds, they allow it (off camera). It does seem as if SOME of the plated dishes looks a little better when showcased before judging. I also wondered about the food getting cold, but you’ve already answered that 😃. Most importantly, are the chefs allowed any notes or recipes during competition- or do they have to rely solely on their memory, knowledge and experience? Do you do anything to prepare for creating Latin inspired dishes from non- typical ingredients? Like practice rounds at home? Or, Reading up on how to cook exotic and/or unfamiliar proteins?
