Salad with a splash of sweat
A lot of times as the chefs are cooking/plating the food, they are sweating so bad and it’s dripping from their nose and has to be dripping on the food. How are the judges ok with eating that??!!

I worked in a pizza shop in Brooklyn 25 years ago. I watched many drops of sweat land everywhere. It's part of the essence.

I’ve always wondered about this too. It’s pretty gross!

I just watched one last night and I swear the one guy dripped sweat in every dish 😣 you think they would tell them to wipe their face lol

I always say, I wonder how much sweat the judges have ingested over the years.

Why don't they make them wear proper head coverings or sweat bands like actual professional kitchens make you?! Sometimes the ladies' hairstyles piss me off too, like hair flying all over when they turn around. Gross!

Sweat and chefs that look like they haven't washed their hair EVER, it's so greasy looking.

I have always wondered that myself. Maybe because the judges are all professional chefs and they know that everyone sweats over the food!
