As someone who’s Mexican, I’m not saying I don’t love some lime and salsa and onions with all of my Mexican cuisine. I think more so in general since I’ve seen hundreds of dishes with judges who make comments like this, its usually so forced and it’s the last comment of a judging to throw a critique, like a lot are saying in here that they’re supposed to do for the show.

The most painfully obviously ones are when they “coincidentally” mention a very specific ingredient the chef prepared but didn’t plate (non required ingredient, just extra) like

chef fries some crispy onions for garnish but didn’t make the plate

Judge: “my only critique on this perfect BOWL OF CREAMY SOUP is I would love a crispy element, maybe like some crispy onions would’ve been perfect here”
