One of the cheftestants, Massimo, shared with the cameras about the judges' arrival:
"So judges arrive. Greet them as soon as they hit the podium with Prosecco. The definition of hospitality for me is the way Henry Hill and Karen Hill felt when they walked into that restaurant in Goodfellas. Within five seconds of them being in the dining room, they have something to drink and are greeted with a warm welcome."
Soon, they were shown to their table, where Kristen mentioned how there was a "nice little touch." Listening to her, Gail mentioned:
"Well, it was. But I noticed that the group in front of us didn't get that touch."
Massimo went to the kitchen and informed his fellow cheftestants about the judge's arrival. While they were all excited, Kristen Kish also mentioned that she was excited by the menu. She mentioned some "buzz words" on the menu, including consomme.
Soon, Top Chef's Massimo arrived and welcomed everyone after they were seated. When Kristen asked how everyone was doing, he partially sat while resting his hands on the table. Massimo said that it was going "great." After chatting with them and the guest judges, he went to get their food.
As he left their tables, one of them mentioned that Massimo was a "character." One of the guest judges, Janet Zuccarini, mentioned his appearance and behavior while he was there, greeting them:
"Kneeling down and resting on the table. I'd like it to be a little bit more buttoned up and professional."
