Food Critic Highlights

Gourmet goes KETO.. That's right.. you read that correctly.

Keeping with the Season 3 theme of 'unfamiliar territory', Chef Janssen proved that you can be on a nutritional journey while continuing to relish in the succulent tastes of fine gourmet cuisine. All dishes were prepared and executed using razor sharp macronutrient formulations and counts which kept ketone production running wild as they battled those unsightly, fatty and somewhat repulsive sections across our otherwise lean, muscular and godlike physiques!
Alcohol consumption that night was down by 50% compared to previous events as Janssen was drinking the highest quality sparkling water as opposed to wine, but that’s the way Season 3 is rolling out!
