Chapter 2465: This Nasty Old Man

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Explosive White Water Beef Balls received great reviews from Nancy and Old Hunter. It was really unexpected.

The other judges started to taste it. Exclamations rang out and the sounds of clothes ripping could be heard. It was a scene that was rarely seen on the Top Chef Competition.

Different from the beef ball’s exterior, the exploding texture caught the judges unaware.

Julian looked around him with a grave heart. The judges’ behavior didn’t look beneficial to Iman. What was the secret in this beef ball?

Then, he scooped up a beef ball and studied it carefully for a minute. However, he still couldn’t see anything special about it. Then, he popped it into his mouth.

!!

Julian bit into it and felt as though he had bitten into an egg. The tender beef was cut open by his teeth and the piping hot soup squirted out immediately.

“Mmm!”

Julian was shocked. He didn’t expect that there was soup in the beef ball!

He soon understood that it was the white water prawn jelly which Hades wrapped inside the beef balls. He didn’t expect that it would be a highlight.

The prawn paste’s umami and the fresh beef ball’s bouncy and sweet texture made this beef ball far exceed his expectations.

The dish that was made with cheap ingredients, was far more impactful than the previous three dishes that were made with expensive ingredients.

As an old chef, who had cooked for hundreds of years, and one of the best in the industry, he had to admit that this Explosive White Water Beef Ball was indeed impressive.

This could be a signature dish of a restaurant. All it needed was just exquisite plating.

Given Hades’ age, he was indeed a genius among the geniuses, if he didn’t have a master and came up with the charcoal-grilled mutton ribs yesterday and the Explosive White Water Beef Balls today all by himself.

“Now, Iman is on dangerous ground.” Julian’s became increasingly grave. Although he also wanted his beloved disciple to advance to the final, Miss Nancy’s great favor and recognition for Hades would definitely affect the other judges’ scores.

Moreover, as a three-times judge of the Top Chef Competition, he received great remuneration and fame for his appearance. He couldn’t help his disciple too obviously.

“It’s indeed very creative and surprising to wrap the white water prawn paste in the beef ball. And, the selection of the ingredients is also very complimentary. Compatibility is the best. All chefs should learn about that.” Julian put down his spoon and said to the camera, “However, there are many steps in completing a dish before presenting it to the diner. First of all, it will be the presentation of the dish, which is the so-called plating. I think Contestant Hades could improve in this area to make his dish look more attractive.”

“Thank you.” Mag nodded with a smile, but he scolded him as a sly old fox inwardly.

The other judges had heaped praises on Hades, so Julian didn’t find fault in the taste. He even praised it before criticizing the plating.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he thought plating was a bother, he could have carved two little flowers and put them in. It would definitely be pretty.

“I think there is nothing wrong with simple plating like this. After all, not all restaurants are as posh as Tucker Restaurant, where every dish has to be plated elegantly.” David chimed in with a smile. “In the alleys at the west of the city, there are many such small restaurants where such plating is common.

“The amount isn’t great, but the taste is good. The plating isn’t delicate, but the taste is way better than those big restaurants’. It will be great to eat a small bowl of piping hot beef balls like this in the winter morning. Who needs such frivolous plating?”

“I agree with that. Eating the balls and drinking the bone broth from a small bowl with some chopped green onions is better than trying to scoop them from a big basin.” Old Hunter chimed in too.

When it came to the details of eating, a professional food critic like David definitely knew more.

All the judges nodded their heads in agreement.

Nancy polished off the four beef balls in small bites and finished all the beef bone broth in the bowl before realizing that she was full.

She was impressed with Hades’ performance again.

She thought she had found an expert in grilling, but now, she seemed to have found an expert in making balls too. Getting this chef was a bargain.

“Director, the number of online audience members has exceeded 2,000,000,000.”

The assistant’s voice sounded in his earpiece and Johnny’s eyes lit up. He clicked on his bangle and glanced at the live-studio.

Indeed, the main live-studio of the Top Chef Competition had just exceeded 2,000,000,000, reaching historical numbers.

Moreover, this was also the WeTwit’s live-studio record numbers.

The Hades’ incident together with Nancy’s strap breaking off incident had brought a scary number of traffic to the show.

“This chap is really our lucky star!” Johnny stared at Hades with glowing eyes. He was still lamenting over Jasper’s departure from the show, but looking at it now, that was really an awesome thing. Otherwise, this year’s Top Chef Competition, which had been called the most boring Top Chef Competition ever, wouldn’t have this record number of audience members.

“We have to let him get into the final.” Johnny rolled his eyeballs. He quickly typed a line of words on his bangle and sent it out.

The judges’ comments on Hades’ Explosive White Water Beef Balls were as exciting as the roller-coaster. From the low expectations of the dish’s outlook to the shock at the tasting, the comments were going up and down, bringing the audience’s emotions along with it.

However, Iman and Angelina had also received very high scores and their PK values were ahead of Hades’, so whether Hades could get into the final was unknown.

“Alright, since the judges have finished the tasting and have given Contestant Hades’ Explosive White Water Beef Balls an extremely high commentary, can he create a miracle again like yesterday? Let’s get our judges to give the score now!” the emcee said loudly and a 15-seconds-countdown clock appeared behind the judges.

The audience quieted down and everyone focused on the countdown on the giant screen.

Iman clenched his fists tightly as cold sweat dripped down his forehead and nose and fell to the floor. He had never imagined that Hades’ ugly beef balls could bring him such a huge threat.

“It doesn’t feel so bad if he is eliminated as well.” Padas flicked a glance at Iman with a schädenfreude smile.

He was confirmed to be eliminated, but to be able to see Iman—who was always haughty because his master was one of the judges— get eliminated, his mood had increased greatly.

However, this fellow, who appeared out of nowhere, was really powerful.

The judges heaped praises on him for both of his dishes. That had never happened before in the entire season.
