The finished dishes are now released for the audience to enjoy, and the judges retire to contemplate these new creations and issue their scores. We’ll find out their verdict in two days’ time, when audience voting begins at noon UTC on Sunday August 30th.
In the meantime, I congratulate our competing chefs, who conducted themselves honorably and well. Stay tuned for their final thoughts as the post-match interviews with both are posted here over the next two days.
[Audience members are encouraged to discuss the dishes on the audience commentary thread, but please make liberal use of spoiler tags when posting about details of the games!]
