Richard is an awesome cook and has been voted rising star by Starchefs.com before. He has cooked for top chefs like Daniel Boulud. Like many said, this season is for him to lose. And he did because his cooking style took so much risk. We saw fine examples on previous season. His technique is far better than any contestant but taste, plating and execution of the dish matter. Plus, he is under pressure to win so he can start his restaurant and baby on the way. I am glad Stephane won... She has billion dollar sincere smile. And I totally agreed that making Thai dish her isn't creative. I actually like Dale cooking but his attitude got him kicked out.mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441065236098173019noreply@blogger.com
