Everybody has different tastes and preferences, but I do think the first dish was scored too low just because of size and spice level. It didn’t seem like it was extremely hot, especially with the way Dion was eating it. The second dish was clearly sweet with (I’m guessing) little pepper. It was unconventional for the other two guys, but they still scored fairly because it was good. I do wish there was a 4th judge or you should invite them all back for another competition. Similar to how the Bahamian moms cooked the whole thanksgiving dinner.😂

[@shilohwaite891]

I think a food is spicy and my husband eats it like there is no pepper in it. This is not a good comparison.

[@AwwwSnap77]

@@shilohwaite891I don’t think you understood what I meant, but I digress. Two people ate a sweet dish that is usually spicy and scored fairly because it was good even though it tasted “ like teriyaki and American” nor was it tender. The other contestant ate 2 dishes and didn’t like the spice level even though it’s supposed to be spicy. He also complained about the size which has nothing to do with how it tastes. That is what I saw. That’s an observation, not a comparison. About 65 people seem to agree. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I liked all of their energy, they are being fair with their critiques not one bit of hating which is how it should be, bring them back

[@shesh6061]

The first guy should win. Spicy always wins.

Dion was robbed!!!! Thanks for reppin us right tho! 🇹🇹

[@Chef.TeeCole]

Yes he was

[@octag8nn]

Out of all the videos ive seen, these people are the most respectful

[@AckeeandSaltfish]

I like that they were all knowledgeable about how the dish should be prepared and also not super harsh about the dishes they tasted. Idk why all the hate for Chris in the comments but every contestant had their own style and preferred taste about how they like or prepare their own oxtail. I didn’t find him to be particularly rude; more so picky which is fine. Great episode 🔥

[@Chef.TeeCole]

HES TRASH IN REALITY AND HIS RECIPES ARE WATERED DOWN IN BROOKLYN. HE SHOULD BE THE LAST MAN TALKING ABOUT WHEN HE SELLS WEEKS OLD/MONTHS OLD FOOD TO HIS CUSTOMERS.

Blue shirt had a good sense of humor and black shirt was super smooth.

[@ericmabley2120]

That one was close. These guys know how to cook oxtails! I've found that the key is to coat the oxtails in seasoned flour and brown them before putting them in the slow cooker and cooking low and slow.

[@JapanKardash]

Absolutely! The only way to do it 😮‍💨🥂

[@moniquemonique4372]

Nah not Jamaican oxtails - no flour required. We didn’t have the best representation cos oxtail is to cook on the fire low and slow not the oven

[@spiritualcleanse7115]

No. Never coat them with flour. Season them, leave them to marinate for an hour or more, then sear them on each sides before putting them with the fresh seasonings (onions, garlic etc) with water in a pressure cooker for 45minutes to an hour. Then it on the stove, lid off on low heat until it simmers down to gravy. The Jamaican way.

[@modest91]

​@@moniquemonique4372 exactly he was not repping Jamaica correctly.

I like Christopher demeanor. He speaks so well. Good vibes

[@zvezdoblyat]

Can't cook for shit tho

[@JuanitaMichelle]

Just off the presentation I wanted to try ALL THREE! 🤤 🤤 🤤

[@digbickjohndoe629]

On the behalf of all Jamaicans. We apologize for Christopher. The first guy prob would’ve taken that one if there were a fourth opinion. But Jamaicans don’t complain about spice. Nor do we blend carrot puree in oxtail, he didn’t even add carrots nor do we say Oxtail”s”. It’s embarrassing to watch him win something food related as a Jamaican because he scored strategically. He prob a American/Jamaican.

[@SoupBone-bp1qk]

Jamaicans are not a monolith. I have people in my family who don't like spice. The attitude some Jamaicans have towards other Jamaicans is cringey to watch, read and hear. Do better

[@indiannawilson1184]

​@@SoupBone-bp1qkbut it's obvious that he isn't Jamaican

[@Chef.TeeCole]

Smh let the TRASH BE EXPOSED.He runs and works at a restaurant in Brooklyn, New York.I experience him as a manager and he was horrible as a person and a horrible cook when it came to his recipes. He sells days before, weeks, and months old food to the consumers in the neighborhood. Shiit is sad. He definitely needs to humble himself with his bland water recipes.HE IS NOT JAMAICAN HE IS HAITIAN & SHOULD BE CANCELED OVERALL!

[@NativeNomad10]

You don’t add carrots but Jamaicans add carrot to every meat, from stew, brown stew, steam and curry. It’s not needed but it’s added cut up

[@TheMomLifee]

I see so much African influence in Caribbean foods! My trip to Jamaica 🇯🇲 was eye opening! Our ancestors certainly did well to keep a lot of what they brought with them from across the Atlantic! I am Nigerian 🇳🇬 . We love our Oxtail too! But we mostly call it “Cowtail”

Man😂 I gotta learn how to make them. Looks so good!!!
