Despite coming in second place on the first season of Around the World in 80 Plates, chef Liz Garrett put up one hell of a fight in the finale. An underdog from the beginning, Liz stepped up her game time and time again to oust her fellow, more-experienced competitors.
I caught up with Liz to talk about her experience on the show. Check it out!
Hi Liz, congrats on making it so far!
Thank you.
You seemed to know that someone was going to be eliminated after "The course." How were you feeling at that point? How confident were you that Avery would take you to the finale?
I felt like it could have gone either way. Avery and Nookie did have that alliance for a very long time, but I felt like throughout the competition, Avery and I both stuck to our guns and wanted to play the game with integrity.
