“So you’re saying that your grilled green peppers are also different?” Charles Dean spoke as he picked up a skewer.

With a single bite, the cheese inside the pepper stretched into strings.

“Although I personally don’t think green peppers are spicy, it’s possible that there may be customers who can’t eat even the slightest bit of spice,” Cindy Clarke explained. “So, I added cheese to neutralize the slight spiciness of the green pepper. Even those who don’t eat spicy food should be able to enjoy it.”

“With vegetables as a pairing and the ingredients served hot, the cheese isn’t overpowering. The taste is balanced,” Charles Dean nodded in agreement. The five judges shared Cindy Clarke’s remaining skewers, finishing them off.

All that was left were the uncooked ingredients.

The five judges reluctantly turned their eyes away, not wanting to burden Cindy Clarke with more grilling.

Staff members brought each contestant’s ballot box to a prominent spot on stage and removed the food carts.

Michael Greene then announced, “Now, each of us has a food coupon. The food coupon in our hands is worth 10 coupons. We will put our food coupons on the contestants’ ballot boxes.”

Rosaline Parker took out her food coupon first, stating, “I’m giving my coupon to Natalie Campbell. Her Wheel Pie fits the theme of snacks, and it is a common dish found in night markets. She also displayed her own creativity in her dish.”

Rosaline Parker placed her food coupon on Natalie Campbell’s ballot box.

Hunter Clarke spoke up, “I’m giving my votes to Cindy Clarke. Her dish doesn’t just adhere to the theme, it also shows her attentiveness to the diners. She considered the convenience of the diners while they eat, their taste preferences, and even the fact that the surroundings may affect their appetite.”

“Adapting to conditions and locations while putting herself in the diners’ shoes and making changes for them,” Hunter Clarke placed his food coupon on Cindy Clarke’s box.

Wesley Gordon promptly placed his food coupon on Larry Bennett’s box, stating, “I’m giving my vote to Larry Bennett. Fried Chicken is a very common and widespread snack. The simpler it is, the more difficult it is to do well.”

“Larry Bennett’s fried chicken retains the natural juices of the chicken,” Wesley Gordon said as he tore open a chicken thigh, juice visibly dripping from his fingers.

The sight left the audience unable to resist swallowing their saliva.

“Moreover, before frying, he took an extra step to prick the chicken with needles. This softened the meat and created small gaps within it. Larry then sprinkled a little chopped parsley in these gaps before coating the chicken with flour and frying. When eaten, hints of green can be seen within the chicken meat, not just on the surface,” Wesley explained.

“The unique fragrance of celery combined with chicken resulted in an unexpectedly harmonious taste. This attention to detail is enough to earn my vote,” Wesley added.

When it was Michael Greene’s turn, he put his food coupon on Cindy Clarke’s box.

“I’m voting for Cindy Clarke,” Michael Greene said, cutting open a piece of chicken thigh to reveal the layers inside, “Crispy perilla leaf, tender chicken thigh, and pieces of dried plum in the middle – each layer offers an unexpected flavor and texture.”

Lastly, Michael Greene looked at Charles Dean and asked, “What about you,

Charles?”

Charles Dean smiled and replied, “I’m also giving my vote to Cindy Clarke..”
