ReplyDeleteIntersting season. I was disappointed that Sarah's technically better dishes and performance throughout the season did not carry the day over rustic homecooking.
ReplyDeleteSarah's dishes were boring and were consistent with everything she had made before, there was little innovation when compared to the other two.
DeleteHeartbroken 💔 for Micah. How sad to have no family there to support him.
ReplyDeleteI praying for micah that he will have a happy life after he left.
ReplyDeleteI was so happy for Dorian I felt she deserved to win but would not have been surprised if Sarah had won. I hope they will both be very successful.
ReplyDeleteHope Micah keeps cooking. Such a talent for one so young. He was my favorite!
