Dale

Age: 29

About him: With a Filipino background, he focuses a lot on Asian flavors.

Ill-informed snap judgment: I have misgivings about both his smirk and his techno-lesbian stylings. I’m getting the feeling he might be a troublemaker.

Nikki

Age: 35

About her: At the ripe old age of 35, she’s one of the oldest of this rather nubile crew. She’s the chef and co-owner of her own restaurant in NYC.

Ill-informed snap judgment: She’s an experienced sommelier, businesswoman and cook. I’m thinking she’s going to win. I’m going to be bold and put it out there. If I’m right, I’ll bring this up later. If I’m wrong, I can’t imagine anyone is paying enough attention to this post to remind me of it later.

Valerie

Age: 32

About her: A personal chef.

Ill-informed snap judgment: I don’t know what’s going on, but her bio is really short and vague. I’m guessing this mean she might get the early boot.
