Thank you, Chef Ripert, for illuminating the difficulties with using/opening the conch. I did not get that from any of the show. I also better appreciate Richard's dish.

Hey Eric, what does Antonia's Red Snapper look like.

Chef, I love hearing/reading your comments on the contestants and the dishes. I also love when you appear on the show, because you're very fair and impartial. I really hope you return as a regular judge, or even stay as head judge! Tom looks like he needs a break from TC...
