that food looks fantastic. must have been hard judging all that great food.
It looks like you ate very well indeed.
Yeah, but some of the turn ins were really inedible: absolutely oversmoked and undercooked.
How did it feel to be "on the other side of the table"? I'll bet your stress level was down.
The stress level was not as high as competition cooking, but nevertheless there was stress on judging, because most boxes were better to be tasted short time after their turn in - and most of them were turned in at the same time, especially the first course.
