We love a good winner, and we bet you do too. So here’s a recipe that impressed the judges, Executive Editor Carissa Tozzi and Food Director Robert Seixas, on Gordon Ramsay’s Food Stars, Season 2, Episode 4. Food Stars isn’t your average cooking show; it’s a high-stakes competition where two teams go head-to-head in a Shark Tank-style boot camp to showcase their culinary skills and business acumen. The twist? Each team is mentored by either Gordon Ramsay or Lisa Vanderpump, adding an extra layer of competition.
Team Gordon emerged victorious in a fierce culinary battle against Team Lisa. The winning team fully embraced the Delish vibe, taking bold culinary risks to create a recipe bursting with creativity and flavor, a perfect homage to the 4th of July.
