Not a wow. We arranged for everyone to pick one of the dishes and prepare it, taking show comments into consideration, and do our own "judging". I wouldn't say that this was my favorite. I like pork belly prepared differently. I love pork with a citrus and fruit. Not pork belly. We voted and they said I cooked everything to perfection but were not thrilled about the combination. Hands down, we had other preferences.
