-The cooks have 20 minutes to make their meals.
-The intros and cooking go pretty fast, so it is hard to keep up. Joe is a sanitation worker about to be a father, Christina is a mom working in,
-Joe’s alligator parmesan is a surprise hit.
-Christina’s pork chop is well seasoned.
-Monika has overcooked fish.
Lauren’s haddock is well cooked.
-Mada’s minute steak marinade is too sweet.
-The cauliflower puree Daniel made is a mess.
-The turkey and sauce cooked by Wendy is delicious.
-Alexandra’s beef tongue and salad is surprisingly good.
-I wish they would be more clear on who made what dish.
