"What else?" asked Winston.

"The soft umami of the Creamy Herb Crab Salad is a stark contrast to the flavours of this Charbroiled Lamb Chops, which are soothed by the tangy flavours of the lamb chops! It's a wonderful pairing. !"

"It seems that this will be a difficult choice again. But as a guest commentator of this dish, I still need you to tell everyone which of the two charcoal grilled lamb chops is your favorite. ?"

"Oh..." Luke took a long sigh and held his head. "It's the happiest thing to taste such delicious lamb chops, but you want me to make a choice!"

After speaking, Luke lowered his head and continued to eat lamb chops.

And Winston patted him on the shoulder and said, "Friend, don't do this, the game has to go on."

"Please let me have a good time! I've already made a review, and it's the jury's decision to choose which dish tastes better, not mine!"

"Your words sound reasonable..." Winston could only count the votes sent by the staff and touched his chin, "I can only say that the votes are really close. Jessica and Elise are the two Experienced and creative chefs, it is impossible to let others lead all the time! Their mother and daughter cooperated and won twelve votes for this main dish! Jiang Qianfan and Lin Kesong won Ten votes! Chef Jiang Qianfan, you have to be careful! You must know that Jessica and Elise are only two votes away from you. Two votes only, maybe the next main course, maybe the next three desserts, will be Completely overtaken!"

Jessica frowned. Although they beat Jiang Qianfan and Lin Kesong in this dish, they were still far below her expectations. She originally thought that the secret recipe of charcoal-grilled lamb chops that she had obtained through countless experiments and thinking would have an absolute advantage in front of Jiang Qianfan, but the result was not ideal.

"White sesame seeds are indeed a good idea." Elise said lightly.

"The so-called 'good idea' in your mouth is not necessarily Jiang Qianfan's, there is a high possibility that it is Lin Kesong's." Jessica raised her eyebrows.

"I just approved the idea, not all of it."

At this moment, Lin Kesong pursed his lips. She was a little lost. It was her idea to add white sesame seeds to the charcoal grilled lamb chops. Although this idea was approved by Luke, it did not make their charcoal grilled lamb chops favored by most of the judges.

"There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers." Jiang Qianfan lowered his body and said in her ear.

I don't know when it started, Jiang Qianfan especially likes to talk in her ear. Maybe it's because it's closer to her, or maybe the guy just found out that she couldn't resist his whispers.

"I know. We can't win forever." Lin Kesong raised his face and smiled.

And the pk of the three main dishes finally came to the most difficult and most suspenseful turkey.

"As Montgomery said before, turkey is actually a very difficult meat to handle. The difficulty is that the meat itself lacks moisture, and if you are not careful, it will taste like chewing wax. Besides, it is not easy to taste. .But I believe that these are not a problem for both contestants, because they are the masters of the masters! It's just this last main course, I don't plan to invite professional food critics or chefs, but want to Hear what the jury has to say! Ignore them and this pk will be meaningless!"

The guests and the media all showed expressions of disappointment. They were expecting that they might be able to taste a turkey from both chefs!

Winston came to the center of the jury and found a girl in a plaid shirt and black-rimmed glasses.

"Hey, what's your name? Where are you from?"

"My name is Martha, and I'm a student at New York University."

"Oh, New York University!" Winston pointed in Lin Kesong's direction, "You are alumni!"

"Rest assured, I will follow my own feelings, and there will be no favoritism because I and the contestants are alumni."

"Okay, Martha. Can you describe the turkeys on both sides for everyone here from your perspective?"

"Yes! Although I am not as good as other chefs and gourmets, I can easily identify various seasonings and even cooking methods, but I think my language skills are still good! First, let me talk about the two Quentin chefs. The turkey meat roll. The center of the chicken roll is king oyster mushroom. The chicken is softer than expected, and after absorbing the water and aroma of the king oyster mushroom, it becomes very tasty.”

"Ah..." Winston lowered his head and took a closer look, "According to my observation just now, the two Quentin chefs should have chosen chicken breast meat from turkey, and after hitting it with a small hammer, it made the meat even better. Firm. They simmered the chicken in a special soup first, fished it out when it was still undercooked, served with seasonings, rolled it with king oyster mushrooms, poured butter on the iron plate and grilled it, and Season to taste. The side dishes are white asparagus and crab roe salad, which should be refreshing. Martha, how do you like the taste of this dish?”

"I should have brushed soy sauce and mustard between the chicken and king oyster mushrooms, and I also tasted a little bit of jam. Like oranges and bananas! It's fresh and aftertaste! The turkey meat is soft on the inside but very soft on the surface. It's crunchy and delicious! It tastes amazing!"

"Hmm, what about Chef Jiang Qianfan and Lin Kesong's turkey dishes? What do you think?"

"This is a very special cornmeal turkey burrito!" Martha paused, as if she didn't know how to describe it.

Winston smiled: "I remember you saying, Martha, you're pretty good at describing words! So this dish... shouldn't be just 'a very special cornmeal turkey burrito'? You don't know the name. Appetite...instead, reminiscent of a street burger or a hot dog or something..."

"Oh my God! It's not on the same level as a hamburger or a hot dog! The presentation of this dish is very eye-catching! Although it is a burrito, it is very delicately rolled and you can see the beautiful layers. Look at it, Here's diced chicken, this layer is avocado, this is arugula, and this layer is sauce! But it's spread out so evenly that when I bite into it, everything is in my mouth, the more The more you chew it, the more delicious it is, it's like... the Big Bang!" Martha frowned and thought, "I just want to know how this diced chicken is made! It's so tender! The tip of my tongue just keeps trying to repeat! And that sauce... I really want to bring a big jar back, I can put a little in the turkey stew, brush it when I roast it, or make one for myself Turkey burritos!" The more Martha described it, the more excited she became.

"So obviously, Martha, you prefer Jiang Qianfan and Lin Kesong's turkey dishes, right?" Winston asked.

"Yes. I think I can't get enough of it!"

"Okay, let's hear about the other reviewers." Winston walked up to a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, "Hello, sir, do you mind if I know your name and occupation? "

"I'm Donald, and I'm a lawyer."

"Oh! Donald, I suppose you should be interviewing clients often in some fancy restaurants?"

"Yes."

"Very well, if you are asked to comment on these two turkey dishes, I am sure you will be right."

Donald laughs: "These two turkey dishes are the best I've ever eaten, and I'd love to say something about them. The first is the turkey enchiladas with king oyster mushrooms by the two Quentin chefs. Although the elements of this dish look simple, the way of cooking is very complicated. The editor-in-chief Winston has just introduced it, so I won't say more. The chicken of the turkey is not as dead as the ordinary roasted turkey. , I guess the method of stewing turkey breast at the beginning has two purposes, one is to retain the moisture in the chicken, and the other is to taste. And the combination of king oyster mushroom and turkey is also quite harmonious, and enhance each other's flavor .The orange and banana jam is a highlight of this dish. The sweetness of the fruit adds a touch of aftertaste to the original thick turkey king oyster mushroom roll. Other flavors, such as turmeric, curry powder, black pepper, salt , celery seeds and cinnamon are also perfect!”

Winston clapped his hands and said, "Mr. Donald, your level of comment far exceeds that of my good friend Luke! Could you please also specifically talk about Chef Jiang Qianfan and Lin Kesong's turkey dishes? ?"

"When it comes to this turkey taco, all I can think of is the most Chinese style! The tortillas are springy, but not firm enough to chew on! I really want to Know how this is made! And the diced chicken wrapped in it! This reminds me of a dish I had in China a few years ago, called 'Spicy Chicken'! The chicken tastes like a Which dish is very similar, but not as dry, instead I bite into the diced chicken with the gravy in the middle! What is the cooking level to be so right! Rich Chinese flavor, this umami and spiciness stirs the taste buds and makes One wants to bite after bite! And the sauce in it, I tasted dill, sage, and bay leaves, with just the right amount of mustard and mayonnaise, my god, it seems ancient The East meets the passion of the West! This is a delicious food that will be remembered in your dreams!”

Winston fully understood Donald's choice and came to an old lady again.

The old lady smiled and said to Winston: "I don't have so many fancy words to compliment these two dishes, but one thing I am sure, they are delicious things I will never taste again in my life. I I really hope that the turkey enchiladas cooked by the two Quentin chefs will be at my granddaughter's wedding, it will be the happiest food."

"So you prefer this turkey dish?"

"Haha, but as for the taco turkey...if I'm at the end of my life, I think my biggest wish would be to have another bite of this taco turkey!"
