They must have placed last in the Street Food Competition section.

The winning chef said "most chefs don't use enough Knorr chicken powder, the proper ratio is 1:1 chicken powder to meat/vegetable. Another thing is chefs from other countries use vegetables (plural) whereas I would use maybe half a potato. Vegetables are bad. Cooking times are very important, you Cannot cook something for too long, it is impossible".
He also wanted to thank the judges and wished them and their tastebuds a speedy recovery, and sent condolences to some of their families.
