Same night, same dinner. The Belgian and Italian judges are with us. Our meals arrive, the Belgian judge (Crystal) states that the right side of her plate looks or smells like cat food. We all laugh and start eating our meals. I notice throughout the meal, Crystal is picking at her food and eating very little. I ask if everything is ok. She said this was her very first time to eat mexican food. She mentions the cat smell again and we explain that is the refried beans, lol. We asked her what she ordered (you couldn't tell by looking at the plate). She said she had no idea what she ordered but said she asked for a #11 (meals listed by numbers). We asked why the #11? She said she told Marcello (the Italian judge) to pick a number for her, and his favorite numer is 11, so he picked 11, not knowing what it was either. Turns out it was fish tacos. Guess you had to be there.
