If you noticed, it looks like there were two chefs from the same restaurant. I didn't realize that at the time or I would have asked them if that were true.
Tami prepared food for one station plus the dessert.
Also, some of the chefs were at the PFTS on Saturday. They served different food.
And finally, the bug meat (1b) tasted OK. I am not sure what bug meat supposed to taste like
(It didn't taste like chicken
