I feel like just looking at that dish you could tell it was something he made a million times. Who comes up with something that composed on the spot. I always assume these guys come into the show with 20-30 things in their pocket that they are looking for the right challenge to slot them in.

TL/DR: I don't see what the big deal is

Exactly. The challenge was poorly explained but it didn't say they had to be brand new dishes, just chaotic in some way.

Please explain the "some way" in Danny's case.

This echoes my points. PLUS Danny re-posted on insta, more than a week ago, a picture of that dish originally professionally taken for MENA in 2022 to digitally celebrate his win.

Very, very, weird if not slightly unsavory.

Fuck! My eyes just rolled so hard at this "controversy" that I fell out of my chair and bruised my dick. Don't ask about the last part.

I can't speak for "Top Chef," but for most of the shows I worked on in the past, the competitors know the challenges ahead of time. So to quote Steve Brule: Who cares?
