After they had finished eating, Cindy Clarke received a phone call from the competition organizers.
They asked her to provide the ingredients she would need for the next round so they could be prepared in advance.
So, Cindy made a list of the ingredients and sent it to the email address provided by the competition organizers.
The procurement department on the organizers' side, after compiling the lists submitted by all the contestants, proceeded with the purchases.
The head of the procurement department, holding the compiled list, gave it to the five judges and the person in charge of the major competition, Billy Houston.
They were currently in a conference room, making predictions based on the ingredient lists provided by the contestants.
They tried to predict the dishes that the contestants might prepare, using the ingredients provided.
Furthermore, they aimed to predict in advance how well each contestant would perform with their chosen ingredients.
