I’d have made “coq au vin diesel.” Which is just regular coq au vin but it’s been left out on the counter since 2002 and everyone’s just kind of confused why it’s still around.

Canadian here! In Ottawa, we had for the longest time chip trucks as our only food trucks (Talking 80s-2015). These were all dedicated to serving either burgers, pogos, hot dogs or poutine. And by far the most popular was poutine. So yes, it really is a street food

As a Tom fanboy, I find this intentionally hyperbolic criticism simultaneously funny but untrue. This is the second time Tom has done well elevating a humble vegetable ingredient into a stunner. He's the classic maverick contestant - capable of elevating to the highest of highs but also prone to disaster. That makes him a compelling contestant to root for.

Also I don't think Buddha is running away with this. As Charbel's elimination showed, you can mess up and get sent home. He is also the chef I think will win, but its a pretty narrow lead over a strong group of contestants.
