[Bright Halo]

Any of the three could win but Chariya is my favourite, don’t think she has put a foot wrong and some of her dishes look superb.

Yup

Me too

I wish they would stop wasting half the final program going through "BGT" family chit chat.

I concur. Some of her output was Michelin star quality.

I think all three are excellent cooks but her presentation tips the balance.

Did they edit out her saying "st" ?! Lmao!!!

Congrat's Chariya. Was my fav' from a couple of weeks ago.

At least she didn't say anything worse.

[Mobile Chicane]

A worthy winner I think.

Astonishing how high the standard is compared to the early days, but there is no way producers would send contestants to restaurants like Core unless they could meet the standard.

Anyone had any luck getting a table?

Not for 175 quid for a three course dinner!

Well done Charia [sp?], and to the other two as well, a very high standard this year.

That sounds cheap for a three star dinner.

You're right but I've done it (not at Core) and it's all little flowers on food and had to pay extra if you wanted a starch/carb based side dish. A dollop of sauce here, a trinket of foam there. I wouldn't do it again and wouldn't recommed anyone else to do it but if you're curious, then go ahead and see what you think. One persons junk is another persons treasure.

Personally I love all that. I really enjoy creative food exquisitely presented. I didn’t think Core was *offensively* expensive, but it would be a blowout treat. Anything ‘Insta’ can FRO however.

A very worthy winner, second for me was Omar for being completely nuts with what he created.

I must admit, how John and Gregg managed decide between Chariya and Anurog I don't know.

Yep, I agree. No idea what they split them on.

Agree, both brilliant. Personally I just preferred Cheriya’s dishes. I would happily eat at any of the finalists restaurants should they open one.
