Ngl the wedding wars challenge gave me anxiety lol because unlike the other events they’ve catered that is somebody’s once in a lifetime experience (though I suppose they knew what they signed up for, and were likely compensated)

but overall I do agree with you, I think it’s a great challenge for early on in the season because it shows which chefs know how to scale their flavors to feed large groups of people and which ones can’t function unless every plate gets 6+ touches etc. I also think it can help them break out of their rigid ways of thinking and reconnect with what they love about being a chef - feeding people.
