If you ever wondered how Gail Simmons handles it when a Top Chef contest cooks up a meal she doesn’t like, E! News‘ Erin Lim-Rodes asked her all about that. The Bravo star explained, “It is not subjective to what we like as judges. We are there to be the taste buds of our viewers. We couldn’t do our jobs if we were picky eaters.” Gail said that even if a dish is not her “favorite thing,” she can judge if it’s “cooked correctly, seasoned well, tastes as it should, and if it’s executed to the intention of the person who made it.”
